    Yup!
    When you answer attach a question after it :D

    Ok So....Newtons 2nd law of motion?

    Rate of chage of momentum is directly prop. to force causing it in direction of said force...

    Why is an approximate focal length obtained beforehand when measuring focal length of convex mirror and how is it obtained?

    To ensure you dont place the object within the focal length as if you do a virtual image will be produced?

    ****obtained by locating a distance object on a screen this way 1/u approx =0 therefore 1/v =1/f

    Coulombs law?

    The force of attraction or repulsion of two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

    Define electromagnetic induction?

    Whenever the magnetic field passing though a coil changes an emf appears in the coil.

    List the fundamental forces of nature in increasing strength order!?

    Higher speeds reached, more compact.

    Distinguish between fusion and fission

    Fusion is the combing of 2 smaller nuclei to form a larger one energy is released.

    Fission is the splitting of a large nucleus into 2 or more smaller nuclei with the release of energy and neutrons.

    Why is great amounts of energy needed for fusion?

    They take up less space and allow particle to reach higher speeds.

    Fusion resources more readily available.
    Fusion more easily controlled no chance of uncontrolled chain rxn.
    Fusion has little or no radioactive waste

    An emf is simply P.d applied to a circuit? Not sure actually what is it?

    The ampere is that current which, if maintained in two infinitely long parallel wires of negligible cross-sectional area 1m apart in a vacuum, experiences a force of 2x10^7 newtons per metre length.

    Capacitance definition?

    C=qV

    WHERE c = capacitance
    q = carge
    v = voltage

    ratio of charge on conductor to its potential

    Derive F=qvB

    Derive F=qvB

    F= BIl

    I= total charge/ time.
    Total charge= number of particles x charge on each particle= nq
    => I= nq/t
    for 1 particle n=1 => I=q/t

    F=B(q/t)l
    F=Bq(l/t)
    l/t=> distance/time = velocity (v)

    Therefore F= Bqv

    What is thermionic emission?

    positive: Up, anti-down

    neutral: up, anti-strange??

    positive: Up, anti-down

    neutral: up, anti-strange??

    Positive and Negative are right, up anti-strange is a Kaon so thats not it. I think its up anti-up or down anti-down. Both possibilities can happen. I'm not 100% sure though cause its not in my book

    I realise it's impossible for "well-informed" predictions to exist, but does anyone have any predictions for Section A that seem to at least make sense?

    It would be cool if we could all state our logic, too!
