For all you young people sitting physics exams tomorrow I wish you all the best of luck and I hope all your studying will pay off.
Just keep calm and give it your best shot.
Best of luck from Mr Mallon
Hi physics lovers! Here is the latest Higher Physics video. I`ve started placing them in the Higher Zone using Screencast.
I hope you learn from these videos.
Mr. Mallon
Hi physics lovers! I`ve not forgotten about my cracking standard grade class.
Folks here are the answers to your Easter Revision booklet. I hbope you have been working hard because it will pay off in a few weeks time.
Best wishes
Mr Mallon

Here is the latest Higher Physics video where we calculate the weight of a person on an elevator.
Hope you enjoy it.
Answer to the thinking question:
If the lift accelerates downwards at 10 m/s2 then it is in freefall.
This means that R = mg + ma
R = (80×10) + (80 x -10)
R = 0 N weightless!
Hi Physics lovers here is a movie showing how to calculate the work done in moving an electric charge in an electric field.
Hope this helps.
Here is a cracking wee video which gives a terrific summary of what happens in an electric circuit.
I found it on Mr. Mackenzie`s Fizzic Site
This is a brilliant site to add to your enjoyment of physics. Check it out now.
The video can be found here
The vrms voltage is the dc equivalent of the given ac voltage. Think of it as the `battery` equivalent of the ac source.
Study the above lesson to find the vrms from an ac source.
Hi Physics lovers study this lesson on how to find the frequency of an ac signal from an oscilloscope.
Hi physics lovers here is a worked example on how to find the tension of a rope holding a balloon onto the ground.
This is a famous Higher Physics question, so study it and learn those forces.
My Christmas Board
I asked my first year class to write on the board what a scientist would want as a present on Christmas morning.
There were some brilliant suggestions.
Anyway, I hope you have a merry Christmas and a great holiday.
Mr. Mallon
