Does everyone genuinely think it was a lot harder or did we all just get hit with the exam panic and over-think more than we do when sitting Past Papers?
Also, you know for the distance of the Speed/Time graph, did you just find the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle and add them together?
That's what I thought! I was considering if it was just the panic or what.
And yes for the speed time graph and I got 1080m or something
Considering we all come from different schools they'll have to lower the pass mark!
Was a pretty solid paper in honesty. Hoping the grade boundaries go down, then I might have a chance of getting a 1 - otherwise I'm guessing it's a scraped 1 or a 2.

Same here. Uurrg! Physis was one I was confident about! Thanks SQA!
B A D topics, see the question about peek voltage did you get 30V and the one about how it couldn't go over 25v, 20V ?
I know that the 30V answer is correct because I asked my physics teacher afterwards. I managed to get that one wrong. I put 90 as I added the 30 instead of taking it away.
And I didn't ask about the second one, but that's the answer that I got.
I'm not sure about the allocation of marks, I think you get 1/3 for Ep = Ek, 2/3 for the correct working and 3/3 for the correct answer. Not 100% sure though, he went through basically the full paper with a few of us.
For the peak voltage one, you just had to know that it was 10V per square (can't remember the name of it) and then count how many squares from the trough, not from the bottom?
So I think there were 3 squares and I multiplied that by 10 getting a peak voltage of 30V?
That is correct, physics teacher went over it too.
