guyss how did u sketch last part of last question???? and how fid you sketch kinetuc energy and frequency graph???😭😭

What are you guys answers?

tf was that eclipse orbit 3 mark question ✌🏻😭💀

remember the question being ```by explaining forces, explain the variation of speed of the moon on an eclipse orbit around earth. (two As are labelled at two positions where the velocities are equal and opposite, and an B is labelled where speed is at maximum on a diagram). [3]```

and this is how i answered

```speed is maximum at B, decreases and reaches minimum at point opposite to B as it approaches the opposite point, and increases as it moves from the opposite point back to B.

this is because gravitational force between earth and moon is directly proportional to square of speed and inversely proportional to separation // also inversely proportional to square of separation, thus speed is inversely proportional to the square root of separation.

(basically just F∝v^2/r, F∝1/r^2 → v∝1/sqrt(r) but in words)

hence at B separation minimum, gravitational force maximum; separation increases and reaches maximum at opposite point, force decreases and reaches minimum at opposite point (because as the question said, by explaning forces), and the other way around as it moves from opposite point back to B.```

wondering how all those managed to fit on the lines given? because they didnt😭💀, as they exceeded the space allocated a lot (yet still remained in the boundaries of the page)

how much out of the 3 marks do yall think i could manage to get

I dont know how but cleared AS physics but can't say the same for A2 so I am re giving it this M/j, i studied but nothing went in my brains so as any normal human I went to reddit and asked for tips and god bless them humans with angel souls I received notes and definitions I wrote the post in the morning ig and got the notes within the same hour but I saw all those notes and my brain jist shutdown like ts so long imma read it later soooooooo its night time rn and I didnt study shit and ik wont in the hours that are comming. And just wanted to ask HOW MUCH HAVE YALL STUDIED? PLEASE DONT STUDY VERY MUCH LOWER THE THRESHOLD PLEASE 🥹🙏

that paper was hard I couldnt answer several of the theory questions anyway how was it for yall

Im done dudes, I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a 50, this paper was GENUINELY hard for me for no reason, and plus, I forgot the definitions for HALF THE STUFF LIKE WTF BRO, I need motivation atp

Thoughts on the exam?

I thought it was one of the easiest papers I've ever seen

I have little to almost no practice can anybody guide me what should i do rn? I memorized most formulas 80-90% i would say. My target is 30-40 marks definitions give me around 7-10 marks what should i do i am so worried….

For some context I just started chapter 2 in my textbook so I can’t really speak for the later chapters.

Anyway, I have noticed that the textbook kinda of sucks. Like I don’t mean that it’s bad or anything but half the time they just strip away the deeper mathematical concepts and stuff and just give us with a step by step shortcut that works well for a specific situation but is inefficient everywhere else.

Now obviously they shouldn’t go too deep into the math, but the level of simplifying that they do is too far. And it’s not like the shortcuts are all the good either. For example, in chapter one they teach modulus functions and and give a set of steps to find the answers but that introduces fake answers and need to be double checked and that is fine but they don’t explain why there are fake values.

Now I understand that these textbooks are made for a massive audience so they have to do this, and that’s fine. Except that they don’t even tell us what concepts the shortcuts were derived from, like just a little note in the corner would be enough.

I feel like I’m wasting so much time every page wondering, is this the shortcut or an actual concept.

Does anyone have a list for each chapter of everything they derived and from what or maybe a book that aligns Cambridge syllabus and gives mathematical depth.

Any help would be great.
Thanks!

So the exam's tomorrow, paper 4 and I'm honestly super scared, I did finish the chapters but when I see the past papers I forget everything...the theory formulas and all...what should I focus on which is like "if I do these, i'll surely pass" please help me.

guysssss pakistans situation as we all is not good Peshawar is closed due to protest of pti n shii.is todays ppr in peshawar cancelled???? n wb next i m so scared guyss??? specifically for islamabad

guys i wanted to ask if we have scholarship in A2 so does that continue the whole year without any condition or is there a chance they’ll cancel it if my attendance or test results are low? like are they strict about it? anyone who studied or studies at bcp pls reply

What do you guys think the overall C threshold will be for P12, P52, P42, and P32? I know we’ve only done P12 and P52 so far, but based on how those papers went and where you think their C boundaries will fall, what do you think the overall C could end up being?

guys what questions were yall asked in 43?

p5 is in 2 days, and didnt work on even one past paper. I really dont know what to do i have to get at least 23😭 anyone in same condition and anyone to help me boost???🥲

Any predictions for what the 10 marker might be in the AS level paper for october/november 2026? Or just any of the main studies you'll think will come up?

Hi so I gave my as in may june 26 and got c in phy with 71/130 marks now appearing for a2 in Oct Nov and my p4 is tomorrow how many marks in Need in p4 and p5 to get a overall B grade

Ive been doing the topicals for physics while hoping id have time to revise with past papers but i have no time left at all. I still have atomic,stationary waves, electricity(HUGE) left. I really wnated to do past papers too but obv dont have time. Is what ive done enough for atleast a C or B-ish?? My P3 went pretty good/okay. Or am i doomed?? Do i NEED to do past papers?? ofc ill do them if i have time but is what ive done enough? what more can i do??
