Unit 5 Physics A2 Level Exam will come up tommorow.
Gas Laws,Nuclear Decay,Oscillation,Astrophysics and Cosmology are 100 per cent likely to come up!

oh yeah
I thought that physics might come up

im predicting finding the ratio of R to d whr R is the radius of some star and d is the distance of the star to earth...cz it seems cool...lol

Hi, I just completed AS physics and started to study A2, and was wondering how unit 4 and 5. Is it still poorly worded (ie unit 2)? And what is the difficulty in getting A* or A in a2. Thanks :smile:

I think Unit 5 is very easy. It's heavily maths based, Unit 4 can be tricky though, the exam in January was awful. I'm on for A/A* however I got a B in unit 1 and a C in unit 2 before I resat them.

Oh alright, I get it now! Thanks!!!

by the way if an object is moving away, the frequency decreases and vice versa.

Oh right sorry. :colondollar:

Bit of a swap there :colondollar:

Thanks, I just finished AS chemistry and heard topics like ideial gas and enthalpy will be in thermal physics. Is this true? I enjoyed unit 1 but not unit 2. The unit 1 exam was very easy and striaght forward and i am hoping for 120 ums in unit 1 but at least a B in unit 2. I never want to do that again. :redface:

I might enjoying unit 5 if there lots of maths, but little chat.

How was it guys?? I found the paper pretty simple, but their were some pretty tricky questions- especially in the MCQs... I think the grade boundary will be about 60.

How did people find the exam? I found it to be alright, i thought the multiple choice were harder than the actual questions :smile:

It was okay, I didn't like the first wordy question dropped around 6 marks for sure. Wasn't as maths based as previous papers :frown:

hey could somebody explain how to estimate the radius for unit 4 physics Jun 2010 questions 8 and 13(b).

In question 8 i dont understand how the answer is C.
I mean isn't it like
50 X 0.40sin90 X (0.060)2

help me please. :frown:
