    A-level Physics
AI Thread Summary
A PhD student is seeking feedback on a "Lay Report" intended for an audience familiar with A-Level physics concepts. They are unsure if their writing is appropriate for this level and are looking for volunteers to review the report for clarity and accessibility. One user, who recently completed A-Level physics and is now studying it at university, offers assistance and encourages others to join in. The student plans to share the report later, contingent on finding willing reviewers. Constructive criticism is welcomed to ensure the report meets the intended audience's understanding.

I wasn't quite sure where to put this - hopefully it's in the right place!

I am a PhD student and am applying for a fellowship which includes writing a "Lay Report".

This report has to be understood by someone who has recently taken physics at A-level (UK) ... the trouble is, I don't know anyone like this (or at least no-one who has done it recently enough to remember what they learnt!)

So, I thought I'd try asking for help on here... would anyone be willing to read my report and give me feedback? - I'd appreciate knowing if I've aimed it too high/too low and whether I've put in the odd word that's too advanced. Any other constructive criticism would be great too.

I'll post it a bit later - after I know if anyone will actually read it, so please reply if you are willing to help.

Thanks,

Jenga

I did A-level physics last year (finished in July). Now I'm doing physics at university, so some knowledge of the topics I studied at A level has been retained.

If you think I could help you, contact me or post a link to your report on here.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
