Energy conversion question

Energy conversion question

Figure 4 is the Sankey diagram in the top right

I got everything right except for 4 a). Somehow I also got everything on the next page right too first time but not this 4 a). Why does the KE not changing mean it's not included in the diagram? Is the implication that the others are changing? Why would they be if KE is constant?

My guess is that it's because Chemical Energy from the fuel isn't constant but I don't know why it would or wouldn't be. What are everyone's thoughts? Ty

Advice on tech (about to start AP/A Level physics)

Hi everyone. I’m ebay shopping for an iPad for my A Level (UK AP) physics course starting in September. I saw on YouTube that this engineering student got a lot of utility from his iPad and Apple Pencil for note taking so I’d like to follow in his footsteps. My objective is to start September with an iPad that has Goodnotes (note taking app requiring iPadOS 18.7 or later) and an Apple Pencil to use Goodnotes with. I’m kind of a tech noob but willing to learn to make the right decision here so please feel free to correct anything incorrect that I say

My maximum budget is about £100 so I’m going second hand and as old as possible. I saw an iPad 7th gen 2019 32GB on ebay for £63 which, according to google ai, runs iPadOS 18 including 18.7 - but i have no idea if this is actually true and would probably contact the seller to confirm. I’d also like to buy a corresponding off brand Apple Pencil for this iPad; my understanding is that compatibility is determined by generation? I’ve seen lots of pencils but they’re suspiciously cheap (seen some 7th gen ones at under than £10 on eBay) and i was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or experience regarding the reliability of the cheaper off brand pencils especially

I also will be studying Maths/Calculus/Statistics/Mechanics and Accounting alongside physics. Sorry if this is only tangientially related to physics btw - just thought I would get some very useful input here as someone who’s about to start drawing lots of graphs, shapes, curves etc and needs a good note taking system. Thank you all

Moments pt 3 (easy)

I’ve gotten everything right except for b) iii). Why did they calculate the horizontal component - 54cos(35) - of the tension in the wire? And why did they add it when it’s acting parallel to point a? The only forces I’d imagine would be relevant to use for the moments here are the vertical component of the tension in the wire and the weight which are both perpendicular (rather than parallel) to the line from A -> bottom right corner of the sign. The following question - iv) doesn’t make sense to me for the same reason.

For b ii) I just did 54sin(35) x 0.68m = W x 0.34m. I just don’t get why it’s wrong

Thinking about it some more, is the 54cos(35) factored in because the sign is in equilibrium? There is a horizontal component to the tension after all but if they’re asking us to take a moment from point A I still don’t know why we’d use a force parallel to it to do that. Hopefully someone here can see the error of my ways. Ty🙏🏽

iPad noob question:

Hi everyone. I’m currently ebay shopping for an iPad for my A Level (UK AP) physics course starting in September. I saw on YouTube that this engineering student got a lot of utility from his iPad and Apple Pencil for note taking so I’d like to follow in his footsteps. My objective is to start September with an iPad that has Goodnotes (note taking app requiring iPadOS 18.7 or later) and an Apple Pencil to use Goodnotes with.

Some potentially relevant info: I have an iPhone and a 2020 M1 MacBook Pro. I also will be studying Maths/Calculus/Statistics/Mechanics and Accounting alongside physics. I’ll be drawing lots of graphs, parabolas/curves, shapes and lines hence the Goodnote app. Any input from anyone will be appreciated! Thank you all

Moments pt 2

I’ve calculated the anti-clockwise moment to be 160Nm and the CW moment to be 320Nm. Wouldn’t the torque have to be 160Nm ACW to bring the bar to equilibrium? First torque question btw

Density q which I think I’m overthinking

I got this question right (answer is B) but I don’t know why. I know that upthrust - density x volume x gravity - is constant because all of its factors are constant (right?). The gravity pulling the sphere down is also supposedly constant so that leaves drag acting on the sphere from the water being moved out of the way as the ball rises. But why would drag decrease the higher it goes? I think it would have to in order for the resultant force to decrease. I considered this but the q says the density of the water is uniform. Or am I just wrong about it being drag. Thank you all

Moments question

For b) ii)‘s mark scheme - why is F(B) x 5m (distance from Pivot B to Pivot C) equal to the sum of moments about Pivot C? I know that the beam is in equilibrium but I don’t know where to go from there

Part a) isn’t relevant btw

Shouldn't they have added the atmospheric pressure here?

Question 2 under the blue Summary Questions on the bottom left - the answer is in the green box numbered 2. I can see that they didn't want an exact answer but why didn't they add the atmospheric pressure as part of the calculation? It still would've rounded to 6 million pascals

Is it possible to see the automation on the tempo? If so, where?

I used the record button in FL to record the start of this song - during the recording, I raised the tempo manually till it got to where i want it to be for the rest of the song

I thought it was supposed to create an automation clip tho? I had automation ticked after all when i right clicked the record button. Cuz now I don’t know how to make it so that the tempo stays at 130 for the rest of the song. In the vid you’ll see me looking for anywhere I can edit the recorded automation. You can also see the bpm falling back to 10 as the pattern repeats instead of staying at 130. I’m sure i can just bounce the automated intro out and do it that way but I also wanted to see if it was possible to see/edit the automation at all. Thank you all in advance

Hi hat rolls on drum pad? How did he do this?

https://youtu.be/70YWEolI8vE?si=PMiqUc5A8gKnT2Q-

At around 0:27 he (Zaytoven) hand-tapped some hi hats in but they each 1) rolled with a single tap and 2) rolled on tempo

I have an akai mpk 49 which has a 3 x 4 drumpad on it, fl studio and some hi hat samples. I’m used to just using Alt + U to chop stuff in the piano roll after clicking hats in but I’ve never seen this before. How do I try this myself? Loop points? Thanks people
