I always want to hear your feedback so drop a comment down below ✅
hey guys and welcome back to another
GCSE Science video this time we're going
to be doing a physics paper 2 because
physics paper 2 kind of sucks it's kind
of tricky but before we get started most
people that watch these videos
unsubscribed so if you've ever found any
of these useful at all please consider
subscribing as it really does help me
out um also if you want I have loads of
spaces in my gcsc science and gcsc maths
classes uh if you're interested in
joining those tuition classes please
check the link in the description and
lastly my email address is in the
description in case you have any
questions about GCS or what never at all
but without further Ado let's jump
straight into this paper and try and
walk through it as best we can so the
first question we have a stretched
spring which is elastically deformed and
it says what is meant by elastically
deformed now there's two types of
deformation that you need to know about
in GCSE one is plastically deformed and
the other is elastically deformed and
what's the difference well I like to
stick with elastic because I think that
elastic is something that's fairly it's
a word that's used a lot in day-to-day
conversation what does elastic mean well
if you have an elastic band so a rubber
band or you have like trousers that have
an elastic band in them what does it
mean means when you stretch them and you
let go it goes back to its normal size
right so if you get a rubber band you
stretch it you let go it pings back
together right that means that is what
the definition of elastically deformed
is it will return back to its original
shape when the force is removed so it's
the last one so what's plastic
deformation or plastically deformed that
is when you're using something something
like Play-Doh for example it's when if
you squish it or you compress it it does
not return back to its original shape so
if I take something like a a plastic bag
or I take Play-Doh or something like
that and I squish it up and I let go it
doesn't revert back to its original
shape it stays deformed that's when it's
been plastically deformed now all
objects will have a little bit of
elastic deformation before it becomes
plastically deformed so with the spring
if you ever had a slinky may have seen
this but if you have a spring in your
pen for example if you stretch it really
really far eventually it will not return
back to its original length you have
then plastically deformed it so
hopefully that makes a bit more sense
describe a method to determine the
extension of the spring so here we have
our system this is a very common
practical which I'm hoping that you've
all done but it ask us to work out or
state a way of measuring the extension
now how do you measure the extension
well hopefully you've done this before
but the idea is you first measure the
original length measure original
length oral
length and then measure the extended
length so what do I mean by that well
let me go back to the top and show you
what I
mean you would take the mass off and you
just have a spring that's dangling you'd
measure its length let's say it's 50 cm
for argument sake then you hang your
mass on and you measure the new length
let's say 60 cm your extension is the
difference between those lengths cuz
it's gone from 50 to 60 cm and then all
you do is you do
extended take away original and that is
how you work out the extension of any
object and here we come on to the first
calculation the extension of the spring
is 80 mm the spring constant essentially
telling you how stiff the spring is is
40 Newtons per meter so it takes 40
Newtons of force to stretch the spring
by a meter
calculate the elastic potential energy
of the spring use the physics equation
sheet the equation that you'll be
looking for is the energy is equal to a
half K
x^2 where X is the extension now you
need to be careful with the units here K
is in Newtons per meter so we leave that
40 but the extension is in millimet so I
need to change that into meters now how'
you go from millimeters to meters well
what I would do is I would go into CM so
you divide it by 10 so 8 cm then divide
it by 100 to get
to M but that is what you'd be doing for
that and again you should get quite a
small number so let me just open up my
calculator so 0.5 or a half depending on
what you want to do and then
0.08
squared which is 0.128 Jew of energy
which isn't a lot but it's not really
meant to be a lot cuz it's just a spring
after all for three marks I think that's
a pretty reasonable thing especially
because the equation is on your equation
sheet you just need to be able to find
which one it
is this is a really common question in
gcsc science exams where they ask you to
get an equation which links three or or
however many variables and then in part
in the next part they ask you to use
that same equation so here the equation
the way I call it is FAL KX where X is
the extension but they've said here they
want to use the letter e for extensions
so the actual answer would just be k
e so on your formula sheet it may give
you KX instead and you just need to
change that to K now it says a force of
300 Newtons acts on a different spring
the extension is 0.4 M find the spring
constant well if f equals k e then if I
divide both sides by E that means f e
equal K so means K is equal to the Force
300 over
0.4 so that's 2 F which would should be
750 let's have a look 300 over
0.4 750 and then what are the units
actually we don't need to know because
the question gives it to us Force but it
is a good practice to kind of get used
to thinking about what units are in the
odd case that they do not give them to
you professional rugby players wear a
tracking device that measures their
velocity and their acceleration figure
two shows a player with a tracking
device so apparently it's just on their
back on their shirt probably the player
is tackling another player is running
with the ball velocity and acceleration
of both Vector quantities what is a
vector quantity uh honestly this is just
a definition it is a quantity that has
magnitude and Direction so we're not
just talking about the size of it so for
example 10 jewles of energy we're also
talking about which direction they're
moving in so for example these players
may have the same Vel same speed but
their velocity is in opposite directions
because they're moving in opposite
directions this if any of you want to do
engineering or anything like that in the
future or maths or
physics vectors are going to be your
bread and butter they are very very very
useful in real life then says which of
the following is a vector quantity tick
one box which is quite nice cuz
sometimes they just say tick all that
apply uh distance is just a length so
it's not that one time only doesn't have
any direction work done is
energy and energy is not a vector
because you just say 10 Jews or 100 Jews
you don't kind of imply a direction you
also can't have negative so that's
something else about Vector qu uh sorry
scalar quantities is they aren't
negative we don't have negative time
right we don't say that took you 10
seconds to do with work done or energy
we don't say that's 50 Jew with distance
we don't say oh you know on a ruler you
don't measure -5 CM but displacement
absolutely can be negative because it's
distance from a point so you can have
positive and negative displacement
that's just another way to think of it
here we have a velocity time graph for
the player Running With The Ball
determine the acceleration of the player
between 0 and 1.6 seconds so when you
have you know velocity time graphs or
even speed time graphs or even uh
displacement time graphs you do need to
work out a few different quantities from
it the way I do it is when I work out
gradient here I'm doing velocity over
time if you notice acceleration is just
velocity over time so the gradient of
that line is going to give me the
acceleration if I times the two
quantities I found the area underneath
the graph that's velocity time time
which is distance or in this case
displacement technically but whatever so
that's the way I kind of think about it
I think if I times the two quantities
what do I get if I divide them what do I
get dividing is gradient timesing is the
area underneath so determining the
acceleration between 0 and 1.6 well the
velocity starts off at zero so I'm going
to put zero there and it ends at four so
we have four takeway Z over 1.6 takeway
Z I should be able to do this in my head
but I'm not going
to 5 over two so
2.5 uh m/s
squ for two marks I think that's pretty
reasonable but again you need to use
those tricks you know finding the
gradient finding the area which one
makes the most sense for what you need
to do with something like this it's
always going to be either the area or
the gradient if it's acceleration it's
always the gradient of the Velocity time
graph 4 2.4 describe the motion of the
player between 3.4 and 3.6 so 3.4 is
this point here and 3.6 is this point
here so as you can see they are
decelerating and because it's a straight
line whoops that means the gradient is
constant which means the acceleration is
constant which means this is constant
deceleration you can say constant
negative acceleration that is totally
fine because technically we don't have
deceleration technically or large
deceleration or something along those
lines would would work the next three
parts uh we have again a very
stereotypical calculation question where
they first say hey what's the equation
then you're going to use the same
equation this is very very common
pattern so the equation that links
acceleration mass and resultant force
that is Newton's second law Absol
classic absolute Banger of an equation
FAL Ma and then it says the player
accelerates at 25 m/ squared which is
ridiculously fast when a resultant force
of 1,00 Newtons acts on her calculate
the mass of the player well if we have
FAL
Ma and you know we have F =
18800 Mass we don't know but we know a
is
25 a then that means a is just equal to
18800 / 25
again I should be able to work this out
but let's just
uh leave it as is shall we uh 72
kilog and lastly but certainly not least
we have the tracking device sends data
to a computer during the game so just
one advantage of the data being sent
during the game well this these types of
questions are very hard for students to
answer and they're very hard for
teachers to answer as well because they
require using you know a lot of empathy
which sounds a bit weird but you have to
put yourself into the shoes of the
people doing this so why do they want
the data in the first place well to be
honest I don't know much about sports
but you know you I guess the only reason
why you'd want the data is because you
want to monitor the players right you
want to see how well the players are
performing during a match okay so why is
it good or why is it an advantage to
send the data during the game as opposed
to well we see what the only other
option it's after the game right well if
it's during the game then that means you
can monitor the performance during the
game monitor the performance
live as opposed to having to wait until
afterwards so you can imagine that the
coach maybe is looking at this data in
real time or whoever looks at the data I
actually don't know to be honest I guess
like a phys physiotherapist or something
uh will be looking at this data whilst
the game's going on which means they can
give immediate feedback after the match
that would be my guess but this is kind
of the the idea so you need to kind of
break it down so first of all why do
they need the data well they're
obviously monitoring the players for
some reason I don't know the reason I'm
going to be honest with you uh maybe
it's for injuries maybe it's for how
they can be more efficient whatever
right then it says an advantage of it
being sent during the game well what's
the opposite what's the only other
option well sent after the game right it
can't be sent before the game because
the game hasn't happened yet so why is
that an advantage well the only
difference between sending it after the
game and during the game is one is live
and one is not live so that's why I've
written the answer monitor performance
live and in the mark scheme it does say
performance can be monitored during the
game so potato potato same thing okay so
for question three we have waves which
again is a pain in the butt topic for a
lot of students so student made water
waves in a ripple tank and as you can
see I've drawn an excellent one toone
Recreation of this so we have the water
tank and we have these waves they will
appear dark patches especially if you
put a light underneath it which is what
a lot of people do to make a Shadow but
whatever describe how the frequency and
wavelength of the water waves can be
measured accurately so first things
first if you want to measure wavelength
I like to think of the units so
frequency is measured in per second or
Herz and wavelength is me measured in
meters so what we're going to do is
we're going to start with the wavelength
CU I think that that's a nice place to
start we're we're going to place a meter
ruler along the side of the
tank like
this and we're going to measure the full
length of the tank
so Place meter
ruler uh it's probably best to say like
along the wave fronts or perpendicular
to the wave fronts perpendicular to
wavefronts those black lines are
wavefronts by the way
and we're going to measure the length of
the screen measure length of screen
measure length of
screen all we're going to
do is that the wavelength is equal to
the length of the
[Music]
screen divided by the number of complete
waves now I'm going to explain this to
you of whoops
complete
waves what we have here the black lines
are the Peaks and the reason for this is
if I show you what this looks like from
the side it' be something like this so
I'm going to try and match it up as best
I
can
right these Peaks here are the black
lines which means between them is you
have the the troughs right the the parts
of lower
displacement hope that makes sense so
far now if you remember what wavelength
is is the distance between adjacent
Peaks or adjacent troughs so all you
need to do to work out the number of
complete waves is you go one 2 3 4 5 6
you basically just count the number of
pairs of black lines that's it and then
when you're dividing it that just gives
you the length of one of them which is
uh which is the wavelength the frequency
is a bit more interesting uh don't
forget as you're doing this these waves
are constantly moving so to do this
first part You' most likely either need
to take a photo
or I guess you could do it normally if
you managed to create standing waves but
yeah yeah let's leave it as that for the
frequency here's what you need to do the
first thing is is in per second what do
you know of that counts seconds well
we're going to use a
stopwatch right because that counts
seconds that gives you one of the marks
now how you going to do this what you're
going to do is you're going to
record and count using the
recording waves passing a
point each second
so if it's five Waves per second then
the your frequency is going to be five
Hertz and that's literally it um yeah
that that's basically it so I hope that
makes a more sense now the St recorded
values for the frequency and the
wavelength of waves in the Ripple Tank
table one and two show their results
we've got the frequency in Herz 9.8 9.4
9.3 then wavelength in centimeters 1.7
2.2 and 2.1 it says determ the mean wave
speed now uh in order to do this all you
really need to do is first of all we
need to write the equation which is V is
equal to F
Lambda we are going to have to convert
this Lambda into meters because don't
forget we want the answer in meters per
second and now when it says the mean
wave speed that's because they have
three values now I'm assuming that your
science teachers have been very good
which it's a bold bold statement I know
but we need to uh calculate the average
of these because the whole point of
taking three readings
is that you can average them afterwards
now I will say this looks a bit
anomalous but it hasn't said that
there's any anomalies so I'm going to
just say I'm just going to work out the
average for each of these for this one
it should just be 9.5 right but let's
say you didn't know how to didn't know
didn't know that the mean is you just
add up the values so
9.8 +
9.4 +
9.3 and you divide it by the number of
values in this case three let's see if I
right 9.5 so the average there is 9.5
Hertz let's do the same for the centim
so we have 1.7 + 2.2 + 2.1 / 3 we get 2
so 2 cm for the wavelength which again
we need to convert into meters by
dividing by
100 and then all we're doing is doing
9.5 time
0.02 which is
something and we get
0.19 me/ second which again bear in mind
that this is a water wave right so it's
not exactly going to move super super
fast or anything it's water um yeah
that's it for four marks which I think
is fairly reasonable I think this is one
of the harder calculations because you
have to do the mean first but remember
if it says mean and if they've G or if
they've given you three different
readings you need to work out the
average cuz that's the whole point of
getting three readings right hopefully
your teachers have shown you that in
every experiment that you've done so
this is a really really good question
kind of at the heart of a law of science
what is the advantage of taking repeat
readings and then calculating a mean the
idea is to reduce the
effect and it is important that we say
the
effect of random
errors uh the reason why I say reduce
the effect is because random errors are
random we can't actually predict them
right because they're random that's the
whole point point and so we can't
guarantee that taking a mean of three
values gets rid of the random errors at
all but it will reduce their effects
because since they're random let's say
for example in these values here this is
0.1 bigger because of random error this
is 0.1 smaller and that's 05 bigger
because they're in different directions
some of them make the numbers bigger
some of them make them smaller they
cancel each other out a little bit not
entirely or at least we can't guarantee
it'll be entirely but they will at least
a bit
the speed of the wave is affected by the
depth of the water in the Ripple tank
this is not something you're expected to
know the deeper the wave the fast sorry
deeper the water the faster the wave
explain how the depth of the water
affects the wavelength if the frequency
is constant so again this isn't
necessarily something you would know but
they're relying on you being able to use
science use the equations we've got to
make predictions so they're talking
about
the deeper the water the faster the wave
so in other words velocity is increasing
but it says that the
frequency does not change so how does it
affect the wavelength well if V
increases but F stays the same Lambda
also has to increase the wavelength also
has to increase I mean let's think about
it right if V goes from 2 to 3 but F
stays the same Lambda has to increase
right there's there's no other way so in
other words
wavelength must
increase because of this because of that
formula there that's what you need oh
boy probably the least fun part of
physics I'm just going to point
something out by the way gcsc everyone
hates magnets a levels everyone hates
magnets when I was at University doing
my degree everyone hates magnets magnets
suck and they are honestly they're not
that well understood really there's a
lot of kind of missing information about
them so if you are interested in doing
like physics and things like that
magnets are very odd and so they might
provide some kind of interest to you but
yeah everyone hates
electromagnetism it's it's a universal
thing even at University even the you
know grum field professors magnets suck
but we have a magnetic field pattern and
it says where is the magnetic field of
the magnet the strongest now if you've
ever used a magnet like played around
with it you might know this just from
experiencing it right just messing
around with it yourself but here's how
you can tell the closer together these
magnetic field lines are the stronger
the magnetic field so if I look over
here I have five lines packed together
but over here I have three lines that
are quite spread out and over here again
it's like two lines that are quite
spread out so in other words where are
the lines the closest together they are
the closest together at the poles now
the reason why I won't just say the
North Pole or the South Pole is because
at both poles they have kind of an equal
field strength so all you have to do is
right at the poles and again that is
entirely dependent on how close together
the field lines
are then says how does figure 4 show
that the strength of the magnetic field
is not the same at all places well it's
just what I just said the strength of
the field is how close together the
field lines are so why is it not the
same everywhere well if you notice look
at the distance between the field lines
it changes everywhere so it gets further
apart in different places so we have to
do is say because the distance between
field lines
varies
between field
lines berries
that's why the magnetic field strength
is not the same everywhere the the
strength of the magnetic field is not
the same everywhere because the distance
between the lines
changes figure five shows an
electromagnet being used to separate
Iron and Steel from nonmagnetic
Metals explain one reason why an
electromagnet is used instead of a
permanent magnet so it says explain one
reason so what that means is you're only
saying one positive but then you're
saying why it's a positive okay so some
people try and give two different
reasons and they think it'll give them
two marks it won't it will give you one
mark because they're asking for one
reason and an explanation so what I like
to do is I like to have a bullet point
what's the reason well what's the
difference between an electromagnet and
a permanent magnet the only difference
really is that you can turn off an
electromagnet that's
it turn off
an
electromagnet right that's kind of the
key point now why is that useful well
what were we trying to do with this so
we put this electromagnet over a
conveyor belt and all of the magnetic
Metals so in this case they're just
talking about Iron and Steel will get
stuck to the electromagnet whereas the
rest of the metals just go off to
wherever they're going next so of course
the problem is eventually it's going to
get full right then too much metal on
the
electromagnet so we need a way of
removing the metal from the
electromagnet right
logically well the easiest way is to
turn it off because when you turn it off
it'll just
drop that's it I like to think of it
almost like you have a a claw to grab
something right so you have this hand
and it grabs stuff from the conveyor
belt but if it can't open again it's
kind of pointless because then you have
to break it to kind of let go of the
thing you have to use a lot of force to
open up the the hand again so to speak
or the claw so the purpose of this is to
easily
remove the Iron and
Steel afterwards that's the
point hopefully that makes a bit of
sense then says pieces of iron and seel
are attracted to the electromagnet name
two other metals that would be attracted
uh there's a few but probably the most
common ones are Cobalt and nickel
so given that the design of the
electromagnet so the actual shape of it
cannot be changed give two ways in which
the force exerted by the electromagnet
could be increased so if you remember
you have a few equations like you have
for example b as an
example now since they're saying that
the actual design cannot be changed that
means the well B can't really be changed
either nor can the length so we could
increase the
current in the
electromagnet the next one's a bit
trickier because as we've established we
can't change the field strength we can't
change the length we have to change the
current but what else could we change
well simply put we could bring the
electromagnet
closer
closer
to the uh conveyor
belt because then the iron and still are
closer which means the force is stronger
because as we know as you get further
away from a source of a force it gets
weaker things like uh electrostatic and
gravity and things like
that here we are the motor effect or the
generator effect depending on how you
want to look at it people hate this
people really really hate this but the
conveyor belt that make that moves the
pieces of metal is driven by an electric
motor which is um it looks exactly like
this where you have an alternating
current going through this which spins
the wire because it's in it's between a
magnetic it's in a magnetic
field the length of the wire AB is 120
mm so I like to label that L don't
forget we want to change that to meters
so that would be 12 CM or 0.12
M God the current is
four and the force is 0.36 calculate the
magnetic flux density which is B so
we're looking for an equation that links
FB I and L that is force is equal to
Bill uh which means the magnetic flux
density is force over i l and we just
sub in the values for five marks five
five marks crazy absolute Insanity uh i
l so let's do 4 *
0.12 uh so that would be 0.36 over 0.48
that would just be 3/4
0.75 I'm pretty sure
0.75 but let's not be arrogant we have a
calculator so let's use
it
oh too easy now that actually gives us
four marks because we have to give the
unit so as I said earlier they do not
always give you the unit so what is the
unit in this equation it is the Tesla so
capital T
Tesla and for the last bit we have an
absolute classic the thing you know we
throwing up gang signs in the exam with
the different forces and stuff we have
Fleming's left hand rule which can be
used to determine the direction of the
force on The Wire AB complete the labels
so how do I do it
well there's a few different ways
um this is the second
finger
right and if you notice it has a c in it
so second is the current
finger the
first finger you know it starts with an
f and so that is the field
lines or the
field you know the magnetic field is
what I'm trying to say here uh for the
thumb I don't really have a really good
one but it's like a it's a force um I
have heard it said as like the thumb
since it begins with th it's called the
thrust but I don't know about that
that's a bit weird doesn't really make
sense to me but yeah first finger is the
for uh field second finger is the
current thumb is the force
um yeah that that's just how I do it to
be fair if you have the two others then
you just know the the last one is the
force that's just the way it is I like
the second finger being the current the
first finger being the field and then
it's just the other one is is the force
um in the future if you guys do a level
physics or even University level physics
you have a right hand rule as well but
you can actually use this for any sets
of related vectors which I think is
pretty cool so now we're going back to
the electromagnetic spectrum and we have
different parts used in medical imaging
cool and we have this infrared camera
which basically detects temperature
change as you can see here so the dark
bits are like 23 degrees which is uh
let's just say room temperature and it
goes all the way up to 34° which is
apparently the temperature of this
dude's hand at least three of the
fingers the other two are a lot colder
which is interesting probably due to
blood flow I'd say explain why the
infrared camera is able to show that
parts of the hand are at different
temperatures so this comes
to what is infrared radiation infed
radiation is released from hot objects
so infrared radiation or different
temperatures
temperatures release different
amounts or
intensities whoops forgot to write
different different amounts or
intensities we should really use the
word intensities because we're being
very scientific of infrared radiation so
essentially hot
objects release a lot of it and cooler
objects do not release as much of it so
you know when you're very hot so maybe
after you've just done a lot of running
or something like that you've been out
in the sun for a while you can sometimes
like feel the heat coming off your skin
that's infrared radiation whereas in
like the winter for example you're very
very cold now this difference is picked
up or represented on the camera um
differences are
represented represented as different
colors or
Shades as different should we say shades
or colors
I want to say colors because it goes
from black to white unless you consider
black and white Shades
which maybe it's a color gradient right
um yeah that's essentially how it works
it's very useful in different conditions
so uh some people use it for like
picking up the presence of human beings
in buildings if there's like a building
collapse or something like that they
sometimes use infrared cameras to try
and pick that up um and various other
things this is the bit that I lot of
students I have trouble with infrared
has wavelengths from 700 nanom to 1
mm uh so 1,000 nanom basically which
parts of the electromagnetic spectrum
would have waves with a wavelength of
6.5 * 10us 7 any pretty much anything
with time 10us 7 is visible
light uh
it's It's Tricky it's very tricky to
know all of these I don't really think
people should have to learn all of these
because it's a bit arbitrary but
it's part of the spec it's something you
have to do but the good news is there's
normally only one Mark to do with it in
each paper and here's a big one uh in
hospitals we tend to use x-rays which
I'm sure most of you will either have
very soon or have had in the past the
reason why I say we have very soon is
when you hit 18 uh when you have your
last dentist appointment for free on the
NHS they take a x-ray of your mouth to
kind of have a track of your position of
your teeth and things like that um but
they also use gamma rays which I doubt
most of you will have had before uh
which is handy so for x-rays uh machine
produces a brief burst of X-rays and
that's it produces a picture which is
basically the same way as how a camera
Works where has a flash of light and it
produces a picture we have a flash of
x-rays which produces a picture for an
x-ray at these gamma rays however you
need to inject a radioactive isotope
into the blood and the gamma rays will
come out of that radioactive isotope as
it passes around your body so the idea
is you can then see the exact blood
vessels going through a person whether
it's in this case it looks like it's in
someone's leg they this a lot for uh
Imaging the brain and the heart as well
um because those tissues do not show up
very clearly on x-rays so instead we
need to use something else uh this is
really really useful because it shows
you it it traces blood vessels so you
can see if there's any internal bleeding
or if there's any kind of aneurisms or
something like that super super super
useful but compare the potential risks
um obviously with so I'm actually going
to type this just to make it a bit
easier in terms of comparing the risks
both have a
risk of ionizing
radiation right they both have risk of
cancer due to ionizing
radiation so xrays ionize your DNA as do
gamma rays and so they both can cause
cancer that's just a a sad fact of life
uh what else
well when you think of the x-rays or as
or with gamma rays essentially
with gamma uh radiation the whole body
is
irradiated whereas
xrays um only affect kind of the the
exposed
part so what I mean by that is
when even though this gamma this gamma
Imaging technique here is only for this
person's leg it looks like the knee
because you're injecting it into the
blood the gamma radiation is all over
your body because we can't I mean when
you inject something into your blood it
only takes a few seconds for that to
pass completely around your body
continuously releasing gamma rays with
an x-ray they normally only need an
x-ray of a very specific part so here it
looks like this woman's abdomen so maybe
her spine or something like that or her
rib cage
so you can basically keep the rest of
the area covered right her head is not
going to get any x-rays her legs aren't
going to get any x-rays same with when
you get that Dental scan when you're
18 it's only going to affect your head
right or your teeth it's not going to
affect your chest your legs anywhere
else so in that case there is less
exposure in x-rays than there is in
gamma rays because the gamma radiation
has to pass around your entire body so
the radioactive isotope has to pass
around the entire
body
um yeah so that that's kind of a big
thing and the last thing that you really
need to say is that the exposure
time for gamma rays is longer sorry for
the double ease by the way I think my
keyboard's broking and it's starting to
type random amounts of e the reason why
I say the exposure time for gam is
longer is this procedure here takes a
hell of a lot longer again when you do
that Dental scan if you've ever had
x-ray before it is extremely quick we're
talking about seconds like the do the
dentist or the doctor will leave the
room flash done that's it whereas with
this machine here it takes an image over
a much longer time scale and of course
even if this Imaging didn't take that
long you've still injected radioactive
isop into your blood so even after
you've left the Imaging machine or
whatever or even the hospital you still
have some of that radioactive isotope in
you
uh the reason why I've only put three
bullet points even though we' had four
is
technically this is a second Point
x-rays only affect parts of the body so
we've kind of done in three bullet
points four marks worth of answers for
this question here we have x-rays are
produced by colliding high energy
electrons into a metal Target which is
very cool electrons have high energy
because they're accelerated to very high
speeds but only a small portion of the
kinetic energy is converted into an
x-ray because the rest is is scattered
off or released as other types of energy
and electron is accelerated through a
distance of 15 mm so that's distance the
work done is 1.2 * 10-3 work out the
force so we
have f w and D that is work done is
equal to the force time distance so that
means force is equal to work done over
distance which is going to be a very
very small
number over
15 okay we could write this as * 10- 3
or we can change this into cm and then
change it
into met so let's just do that because I
don't want to oh there's another zero
Mitchell come on there we
are again some of these equations you
just have to kind of know but I do think
that the most effective way to learn the
equations is obviously to have
whoops have a formula sheet in front of
you whenever you're doing questions and
label the variables they give you and
the one that you want and then all
you're kind of doing is looking through
the formula sheet for an equation that
has the three or four or whatever
letters that you have so f w and D if
you look on the formula sheet wals FD
that's
it so it's kind of like a uh a treasure
hunt I guess kind of 8 * 10us 12 Newtons
again I love the calculations in GCSE
Science very nice assuming you know the
equations but hopefully now I've shown
you a way of how you can find which
equations you need to use
now the metal Target is usually made
from tungsten because it has the highest
melting point of any metal so why does
this enable the x-ray machine to be more
powerful well again look at what they've
given you they've told you it has the
highest melting point that must be
relevant so in this case well if you
imagine you're hitting this metal over
and over and over and over and over
again the metal is going to heat up It
also says enables the XR machine to be
more powerful so that means the xrays
are stronger which means the electrons
are hitting it even harder harder and
harder and harder well as you can
imagine some of the energy from the
electrons is transferred to the metal
which means it heats up the metal so I
mean basically I've just given you the
three Mark answer
already so some energy from
electrons oh God come on
Heats
Heats I'm pressing the E first I promise
you heats up the
metal so some of the energy from the
electrons heats up the metal which
increases the
temperature of the
metal so
using a higher melting point
metal enables more electrons
to be
collided per second than a different uh
metal which would
melt that's basically it it's pretty
cool pretty cool so here is a very
interesting question this is the last
question but it's only two parts because
each part is worth a lot of marks so
scientists are developing a Hypersonic
airplane that travel much farther faster
than normal airplanes an airplane
accelerates from a low speed to a high
speed with the engines at maximum power
but the acceleration is not constant why
well the the forward
force of engines is constant so you
might think well hang on that means the
acceleration is constant but think about
what happens now as you speed
up the overall force that we use in fals
ma is the resultant Force so we're going
to have the driving force of the engine
minus well what force is opposing
airlanes when you're moving through the
air it's a
resistance so I know that this part is
constant the driving force is constant
but the air resistance will change so as
velocity
increases the air
resistance also increase
this
reduces the
overall you know resultant force on the
plane which
decreases the
acceleration of the
plane so as this plane speeds up the res
the air resistance will increase this
means this number here the driving force
minus the air resistance decrease
increases which means the acceleration
decreases I should probably
add because mass is constant so the mass
of the plane should also be
constant but yeah that's the essential
reason so although the driving force is
constant the overall force acting on the
plane is not constant because as it
speeds up the air resistance the air is
trying to stop it more and more and more
the air resistance increases which means
the acceleration will drop
they give us a lot of information here
the Hypersonic airplane will have jet
engines and a rocket
engine uh the speed is measured on a
uniform scale called the moach scale
basically mock 1 is 330 m/s this is just
the speed of sound so mock is how many
times the speed of sound you're going so
this is 5.5 times the speed of sound
that's 25.5 times the speed of sound
which is crazy um and the resultant
Force calculate the mass so we're we're
going to be using f ma
whoops but all they've given me is
they've given me a change in velocity a
time a force so we don't have the
acceleration but remember acceleration
is just the change in velocity over time
so that
has how would we write this 25.5 minus
5.5 but then we're timesing it by 330
right because that's the actual speed
that it's going at so that's 20 * 330
which is
6,600 over 300
seconds so that's the acceleration
right so we have
25.5 again that's the actual speed the
difference in the MOX times 330 over 300
gives me 22 m/s squared which is
actually really really quick
then FAL Ma so that means m is equal to
force over acceleration which is 630,000
over
22 I don't know the answer to that I'll
be honest 630 23/
22 okay we're going to round this to two
significant figures so we look at the
second nonzero number which is8 the
number next to it is bigger than five so
we're going to make that 29,000 kilog
which is yeah that's pretty
heavy it's not that hard right it's not
rocket science get it rocket science
rocket engines okay so
um that brings us to the end of the
paper uh I think that paper is pretty
good question six is definitely very
hard the calculation is a bit of a
monster but again label what they've
given you label what you have and label
what you want I didn't actually label
what I wanted in that case and then look
at the equations you have to try and
work things out I think that that is
very difficult but I hope that uh
explains things a bit better for you I
hope that that makes a bit more sense I
hope that gives you more confidence if
it has again please be sure to uh
subscribe because it does really help me
or like the video share it Etc all that
fun stuff but I will see you in the next
one best of luck in your revision
