    Mod 8 mass loss

    During a radioactive decay reaction, if the mass of the reactants is greater than mass of products, then mass is lost. I know that it is transformed into enery on the products side of the equation, but what exactly is that energy ? (is it potential energy, KE or radiation energy?)

    Mod 7 polymers

    Thank you so much. Could you please explain why condensation polymers produce n-1 moles of water ? I have seen some sources say that they could produce 2n-1 moles of water so it got me confused.

    Mod 5 non equilibrium

    For the non equilibrium dot point of the syllabus, I am not sure how to explain why photosynthesis and combustion are non equilibrium systems. I do know that photosynthesis has a decrease in entropy and increase in enthalpy, and is therefore non-spontaneous (positive Gibbs free energy) but what...

    Mod 6 DC motor load and back emf

    Using the diagram below, could anyone please explain why the current of the DC motor is very high and reaches its peak at the start ? Also, as it rotates faster, the back emf increases, so the net emf (voltage) decreases, but why the speed and the current of the motor eventually becomes steady...

    Mod 6 AC induction motors

    Can someone please explain how AC induction motors work ? I get the part where they use rotating magnetic fields to induce a current in the conductor bars of the rotor. But I dont really understand how the 3 - phase induction works ( its graph and cycle). The textbook said that the 3 - phase...

    Paper 1 section 1

    I just went through the 2019 Hornsby Girls Trial paper 1, and saw that there were lots of long texts and found it extremely unrealistic to finish reading them in the 10mins reading time. I also had trouble selecting the most important parts of the texts, because I felt like I would compromise...

    Tactics for paper 1 section 1

    I'm kinda stuck for paper 1 section 1 so I was wondering what I could do to get the most out of the 20 marks. So lets say we have 55 minutes for section 1, and 10mins for reading. Should I start finding techiques and analysing the texts in the 10mins, or just try to understand the big idea of...

    mod 7 mass-energy

    please explain how to calculate this, I got a wrong answer for some reason

    Mod 7 photoelectric effect

    For this question, could someone please explain how the frequency of the wave is related to the voltage. ( I thought that we normally graph frequency against KE), also pls explain how I could use the graph to find the Plank's constant, work function, threshold frequency and why it works like...

    Mod 7 > newton refraction

    The textbook says that Newton's corpuscular model proposes that light's normal component of increases in a denser medium, and the tangential component remains same. But Im not sure what these two components are. Please point out.
