電卓プログラム
Graph: zeros, intersections & turning points
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
目的: Plot a function to read its roots (zeros), points of intersection, and maxima/minima.
使う場面: Checking solutions, sketching, or solving where an analytic method is hard.
手順
Graph the function(s) and use the built-in zero, intersect and maximum/minimum tools.
試験での注意: Allowed, but clear stored programs/data (graphical calculators in exam mode) and show the required working — unsupported calculator answers score no method marks.
Numerical equation solver
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
目的: Solve an equation or find a variable numerically when an algebraic route is long or implicit.
使う場面: Iterative or implicit equations, or to confirm an algebraic solution.
手順
Use the equation/zero solver, entering the equation and a sensible starting estimate.
試験での注意: Allowed, but clear stored programs/data (graphical calculators in exam mode) and show the required working — unsupported calculator answers score no method marks.
Numerical integration & differentiation
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
目的: Evaluate a definite integral \(\int_a^b f(x)\,dx\) or a gradient \(f'(x)\) at a point.
使う場面: Checking calculus answers, or where only a numerical value is needed.
手順
Use the GDC's numeric integral / derivative function with the limits or the point.
試験での注意: Allowed, but clear stored programs/data (graphical calculators in exam mode) and show the required working — unsupported calculator answers score no method marks.
Statistics & probability distributions
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
目的: 1-var/2-var statistics, linear regression, and cumulative binomial / normal / Poisson probabilities without tables.
使う場面: Statistics questions and hypothesis tests.
手順
Enter data in the statistics editor, or use the distribution menu (binomial cdf, normal cdf, …).
試験での注意: Allowed, but clear stored programs/data (graphical calculators in exam mode) and show the required working — unsupported calculator answers score no method marks.
よくあるミス
1high影響する配点: 3Materials
Failing to convert Young Modulus or material stress values from GPa or MPa to Pa, leading to severe order-of-magnitude errors.
回避方法: Multiply GPa values by 10^9 and MPa values by 10^6 before performing any algebra or calculation steps.
2high影響する配点: 4Mechanics
In projectile motion, using the vertical acceleration (g) in horizontal distance calculations, or treating horizontal velocity as variable.
回避方法: Keep horizontal components (constant velocity, zero acceleration) completely separate from vertical components (SUVAT with g = 9.81 m/s^2 downwards).
3medium影響する配点: 2Waves and Particle Nature of Light
Failing to divide the total round-trip travel time by two in pulse-echo / ultrasonic distance calculations.
回避方法: Identify reflection scenarios (ultrasound, sonar, radar) and write down t_one_way = t_total / 2 as your very first step.
4medium影響する配点: 3Mechanics
Taking moments about a pivot on a uniform door or bar and forgetting to halve its total width to locate the center of gravity.
回避方法: Always locate the weight of a uniform object at exactly half its physical length (L/2) when setting up the principle of moments.
5high影響する配点: 3Materials
When analyzing a falling sphere to find terminal velocity or viscous drag, omitting the fluid upthrust force from the force balance.
回避方法: Apply Newton's first law for terminal velocity: Viscous Drag + Upthrust = Weight. Drag is not equal to Weight alone unless upthrust is explicitly stated as negligible.
6high影響する配点: 2Materials
Drawing a forced line of best fit through the origin (0,0) in Unit 3 graphing when the raw experimental data has a clear non-zero intercept.
回避方法: Never force a line of best fit through the origin unless theoretical physics dictates it. Follow the natural distribution of your plotted points.
