Title: CIE mechanics
Post by: thecandydoll on September 13, 2010, 10:24:24 am
For CIE mechanics M1,
how should I go ahead and revise?
 :(

ONE MORE thing,any sums regarding lami's theorem?

I'm not doing Mechanics, isn't in my plans either.

Wait for somebody who has experience in the field to help you out.
Most of them aren't online now.

Ghost time.  ;)

Past papers! Past papers! Once you're done with CIE papers, try OCR or Edexcel.

lami's theorem? Nope.Not hear of such a thing before. Not so far.

The Sine Rule... but I guess, more elaborated than how I know it.

u have to practise many past papers so that u get to kno how to work them out, cz if u kno only the theory part n the formulas u cant do anything, ull be blank durin ur exams, so the best suggestion is past papers, id suggest u to get hold of Red Spot Publishing's Mathematics AS/A Level Worked Solutions 2001-2008, i used it, its very useful.

About lami's theorm, i have no clue about it, im done with M1 buh i dont think i came across this word :-\

There are many sums regarding lami's theorem but as far as i know lami's theorem is not in the syllabus so i think you should do those sum in an alternative way(by resolving the horizontally and vertically).Although lami's theorem saves a lot of time in exam :-\ but i prefer the alternative way because lami's theorem is not specified in the syllabus

Well if you have done or are doing physics it should not be so difficult since it is concerned with the basics of physics. (Kinematics and Work. Power and Energy)

Like the others previously said, first you need to understand the principles. Then past exam papers will be highly beneficial because only practice will help you approach perfectness :)

For Lami's theorem........you have no right to use it for CIE............but if you know it.......its good for yourself since if you have time in the exams (which is usually my case in M1 papers) you may actually use it to confirm your answers :)
