AQA Physics A Unit 5 - 19 June 2014

ask stone for them.

but here are the kerboodle ones

Astro 1 is too big

and unit 4 revision it's going 60/50.
and Nuclear ok but thermal struggling




guy I've quoted above is doing astro. do you mind giving him the notes you have?

Lol girl but thanks anyway and thanks for the notes

I'm struggling with unit 4 hate magnetic fields

guy I've quoted above is doing astro. do you mind giving him the notes you have?

oops sorry you don't have your gender visible and majority boys do physics so I assumed you were a boy.
and sorry about the first file but it is too big to be sent on TSR.


and you can find the first one on

yh i hate magnetic fields as well. others I'm okay with.

I hate the 6 mark quetions as well

The notes that you posted are all the notes I have

Lol it's okay easy mistake to make. Yeh the majority of people in my year taking physics are boys
Thanks again for the link much appreciated.

Yeh 6 markers are terrible unless they're on a nice topic like I wouldn't mind one on CCD's or balmer lines

Are you taking maths as well?

ah right, then yh they're the kerboodle ones. topic 1.1 is in medical physics as well lol



i dodn't do astro physics so i don't know anything about blamer line or CCD's. ask the other 2 who are doing astrophysics one of them is mentioned above.
and yh i do maths.

Electrons basically repeat Unit 4. Photoelectric effect is basically Unit 1 and so is Young's fringes so that why we feel it's short. But the worded questions are a pain, especially the Huygen vs Newton section

http://freeexampapers.com/#ALevel/Physics/AQA/Physics A for some reason link doesn't work but on that website just click A level and you'll find it from there

you can get the papers on here.
but you'll have to take a look yourself.
I can find nuclear physics they are the unit 4s but I can't find thermal physics

Ah yeah the 6 markers can be tough, hoping for a simple one this year, a question on balmer lines would be awesome

I've done one or two, gonna try do more more soon , although some questions are really weirdly phrased

For astro? Well we weren't really given a textbook as such haha, we just got given printed nelson thornes AQA notes which are actually not so bad

Ha ha, yeah I know all of the points for the balmer lines question, so hopefully it will come up

Have you seen those question that ask about the max size of any imperfections on the mirror? For some reason you always need to divide the wavelength by 20 to get the answer, but have no idea why

Are those notes on the internet to be printed off, or were they photocopies of a book?

same

Hmm I don't think I have, what paper did it come up in?

I think schools get them by paying a subscription fee for kerboodle? I remember my teacher saying my school used to pay for it but then they stopped, but she still kept the notes . They're easily available online without paying the fee anyway, Qari kindly posted them a few posts above - that is if you zctually want them haha

Thanks

Oh yeh sorry forgot you don't do astro

Have you done many past papers?

I don't do maths but all my physics class do regret not taking it because when everyones talking about differentiating I'm just sat there like

When do you have to differentiate in physics?

Unit 4 yes.
Unit 5 no

I think its come up a couple of times in the old spec papers, but can't remember which ones, perhaps its not in our spec anymore?

Thanks, I'll have a look at the notes

Lol I'm not really sure i think my teacher was telling them about it in the SHM part with the equations for speed and displacement and stuff I just tend to tune out in those parts because he did say i didn't need to know it I think he was just telling them to make it easier for them, it was just a jumble of words for me because i don't even know what it is lol

Do u do whole past papers on unit 4 or like questions for each topic separately?

It doesn't seem to be mentioned on the spec, but AQA sometimes like to ask things that are off spec -.-, I'll have to try find some questions



Also a general U5 question, does anyone else find the y=mc delta T questions difficult or is it just me? I seem to just go blank whenever I'm faced with one

I have the wonderful joy of applied physics, because why would anyone want to learn about quasars or relativity when you have refrigerators. Also the only optional module to not appear in the CGP complete physics guide. *le sigh*
