CIE AS PHYSICS PAPER 1 (OCT/NOV)
« on: November 11, 2009, 10:35:52 am »
Hello! :D

Anyone know what to focus on for paper 1s? Any frequently asked questions, etc?

hmm.
uncertainties, obvs.
and i think in one or two papers they asked about the micrometer screw gauge?


oh and you should know the difference between accuracy and precision..

I'll try to do that tomorrow.

My waves are bull. I need to revise electricity and Newtonian/Kinematics blah. :(

What papers you starting from? I mean years?

Hey,
Do you know where to get past papers  before 2002, FEP only has papers till 2002 and i was hoping do get more practice doing further papers. Not necessarily for Physics, not enough time, but for subjects like Chemistry i got a lot of time to do past papers for multi-choice,  so if you know where to access papers for the years before 2002, i would greatly appreciate it.
And Good Luck with Physics paper 1 ;D

Well, I have the papers before 2002 but it's not something of our league so I suggest you not bother about it LOL. If you really want some questions to train yourself on, I'll give you this. It's on Kinematics :) Singapore syllabus haha.

The Question is ( By the way, it's subjective but worth a try ;D ):

A train driver spots another train 80m ahead, moving away from his train. If the driver's train is moving at a speed of 100km/h and the other train is travelling with a speed of 50km/h, what deceleration should the driver apply to his train in order to avoid a collision?

Have fun :)
Take it easy and go slow and steady.

Nope you can't do that just that way 'cause both trains are moving just that the driver is having his train faster than the other and if he keeps up the speed he'll definitely collide. So, think about it? :P


@falafail : Haha :P It's not easy, it involves some inequalities :P
