[BANANA]salam,

SubhanAllah, an A2 thread. Oh, this has truely made my day.[/BANANA]

[MOUSE]Anyone need any help? Ask away.

[Ameeratul Layl]

salam,

Lately, I have been studying Momentum in Physics. Before I knw of what it was about and I would read or hear the word, I would freak out. SubhanAllah, it is so easy once you grab the concept.
Today, I did..emm..about magnets and I can recall a formula (without looking at notes):

F = B I L

F = force (N)
B = Field
I = Current
L = Length

1T = N A(to the -1)M (to the -1)

We did this funny thing with our hands too. It is flemming's idea with the LEFT HAND.

Please correct any mistakes, but I thought it;d be good to re-cap what I learnt today. I'm ever so chuffed!

Wasalam

Easy way to remember flemming's left hand rule is:

F.B.I and pretend its like a gun lol. where F is thumb, B is index finder and I is middle finger.

:sl:

Oh that is a good one. But I have remembered it as:

Thumb = Motion
First Finger = Field
Second Finger = Current


Though, I must admit, your method is worth remembering.

JazakAlllah.

I need help remembering the right hand rule,now.

I told my teacher about the F.B.I rule and she was so amazed. She thought I made it up. Suited me because everyone in the class were green in the face.

What is the presentation actaully based on? Do you have a title? I enjoy momentum and all that stuff in Physics...so I could help.InshAllah. Just be a little precise.inshAllah,

well, you have a presentation so better get liking it.
Forces and motion? So, I believe you are expected to include about momentum and knetic energy.right?

[Hijaabi22]

nah we jus focusin on sum forces e g gravity

wikipedia has this on the earth's gravity:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_%28Earth%29


wsalam

[MH-UK]

:sl:

gravity, g = Weight, W / mass, m

g= W/m

[Ameeratul Layl]

salam.

E=MGH

E=gravitational energy (J) << I think that is the correct Unit
M=Mass (kg)
G=9.81 (ms-1)
H = Height (metres)

Wouldn't F=MA be used too?

wasalam

[Re.TiReD]

:sl:


is anybody doing A2 psychology?? i'm doing ma coursework an am stukkkkkk! :heated: i dont know what am doin...its like in AS we were helped throughout but now we have to do it all on our ownsome :uhwhat

and oh yeah....A2 RS? dont get the theological and philosophical stuff :w:

wasalam

:sl:

Yes Joules is the correct unit for energy.

Use lower case letters as by convention g is different to G.

Energy (Gravitational Potential) = mgh.

m - mass (kg)
g - gravitational field strength (ms^-2)
h - height (m)

therefore : kg * ms^-2 * m = kg * m^2 * s^-2 = Joules

Look at my previous post and you will see where F=ma comes in.

Basically F is replaced by Weight which is a force and all acceleration is assumed to be due to gravity. So you get W=mg.

[muzna]

gravitational fields is A2 content..forces and motion is AS right?

[MH-UK]

gravitational fields is A2 content..forces and motion is AS right?

:sl:

Yes I think so, although it may depend upon your examination board (OCR, AQA, Edexcel etc...)

[Protected_Diamond]

Is anyone doing A2 sociology? If yeah, anyone started on their coursework man? Im doing AQA and i need help please lol.....

is it better if i scan in the sheet lol...:D ..so u knw what i mean...

hows english combined going 4 u...tis good?...i couldnt deicide between eng lang n lit..buh i always prefred lang...soooo intersting i gota say!!!:D :D

thanks 4 UR HELP SIS....:D :D
:w:

[Re.TiReD]

lol!!! sis i think i know what you mean! is it called recasting? i get a feeling we doing that too. i had two pieces about war and from the two texts we had to pick out the relevant info and using it write a letter. :D

first thing i did was get out a massive pink highliter! :) and pick out the main points and das it really.

yeah tiz goin gud...i prefer language but like looking at texts when it comes to lit...altho i always do better at lang and suck at the lit paper! lol i think das because i draw up ma own conclusions when it comes to shakespeare! :giggling: i analyse it too much and too deeply :heated:


let me know if that helps and if not...be more specific :okay: :w:

[Sum-Muslim-Gal]

:sl:
yup sis i managed to pick up the PINK highlight n done some analyse...yeh am like u i cn analyse sooo in depth thats if i know what the text is telling me bit if not am lost in dodo land..:D...
well...i mentioned from a linguistic prespective sis..but not DONE the questions am sooo lost!!!..ive highlighted the main question what its asking me but the thing is i dont know what the text is on about honestly i dont!!...nothing gone in ma head..but i did like some notes..lol..ok am confusing my self..:uuh:


basically all based on one subject like i mentioned before...but goota write in different style..for different audience so it suits thei need...well summat like that..:uhwhat

aaahh man its tooo hard!!!...imsad

ok sis thanks sis for the help me off 4 majilis..:D
tc..xx

:w:

[Re.TiReD]

:sl: yeah!!! I am doing that!! you know sometimes the problem with the text is that you interpret it to say what you want it to mean and what makes sense to you rather than what its ACTUALLY about...:)

cant think of anymore useful tips...sorry :) :w:

[Sum-Muslim-Gal]

:sl:

dont worry sis am dead tomorow anyway..am gona give it another go now if am in the mood!which am not coz am hypr...:P
