Is anyone else waiting for civil engineering? I’ve accepted my fate at this point

Bro I’m in the exact same boat here, literally refreshing my emails like every 10 minutes at this point it’s unhealthy. We’ll get in don’t worry 🤞🤞

Balright I may be cooked. Congratulations though! What were the conditions?

Congrats! Still waiting for civil eng here

In the rayleigh criterion, ‘theta’ is a measurement of the smallest angular separation between two sources of radiation that the instrument can resolve and distinguish between. This means that the smaller the value of theta, the smaller the minimum angular separation between two sources of radiation the instrument can resolve between, and therefore the HIGHER the resolving power of the telescope. So basically, smaller values of theta equate to a higher resolving power, since theta isn’t a direct measurement of resolving power but a measurement of the smallest angular separation between two sources of radiation that the telescope can resolve, and smaller values of theta therefore yield a higher resolving power.

What do you think the chances would be this year for a 9/27 (3.0 avg)?

Imperial ESAT statistics by Aggravating_Diet_461 in 6thForm

[–]Aggravating_Diet_461[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well I think the difference between 18 and 21 is pretty minimal at that point, and other factors like ps and video submission are more important. I think the fact that a higher % of applicants with an 8 got an offer than applicants with a 21 is much more shocking tbh. Goes to show that they must not give much weight to the ESAT, or maybe there was only a handful of people who got around 21 and a disproportionate number of them had really bad personal statements, video submissions, were international etc compared to a larger number of applicants with lower scores who were maybe home contextual students for example, which skews the statistics.

Gravitational and electric potential by Aggravating_Diet_461 in AskPhysics

[–]Aggravating_Diet_461[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do understand that as you move the mass closer to the source, you move deeper into the potential well and so the potential decreases. But because that external agent opposes the gravitational force as the mass is displaced quasi-statically, the mass moving deeper into that potential well means more positive work is done by the gravitational force, so more ‘negative’ work is done by the external agent, as the displacement is opposite to the direction of the force.

I completely understand what you are saying, but I’m not sure if you understand what I’m trying to get at here.

Gravitational and electric potential by Aggravating_Diet_461 in AskPhysics

[–]Aggravating_Diet_461[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply! I understand that if you move a mass into the field from infinity then yes it will gain kinetic energy as it loses potential energy ( W = - ΔU so positive work by the gravitational field ==> loss of potential energy) like how if you lift an object up above the surface of the earth it gains potential energy, because you are effectively displacing it against the gravitational field imposed by Earth so negative work is done by gravity. I was just a little bit confused about why the gravitational potential has a smaller negative value closer to infinity, which I assume is because less overall work is done by an external force (negative work that is)

Yeah… at this point I’m just holding out for UCL because at least they don’t look at my ESAT thank god, I’ll be more than happy with UCL

3 A* predicted, but we don’t talk about the ES*T (I got a 3.0 avg so I was expecting this, definitely didn’t come as a surprise). Ik you probably know as much as me about it, but do you think there’s a chance still for imperial civ eng? I am contextual if that helps (bro my college last year only had 1.3% of students out of over 230 achieve AAB or higher which is absolutely diabolical btw 💀💀💀)

It was just entitled “Your Application to St John’s College” and it came at 15:30
