Official Edexcel AS/A2 Physics Thread

Hi,
I have found several websites in aid of edexcel physics revision which should help you cover the last minute important bits, should you chose to use them. I have stared * the websites which I think are the most helpful, however this does not mean that the other websites are not so you should try them all for yourself. These websites should cover any unit, from 1 to 6. Also the attached pdf files contain revision notes for anyone taking or retaking those units.

Good luck,
Fusionskd

hey ppl ive heard there might be a question on slopes in the practical paper tomorrow..and perhaps one on kinetic energy but im not sure about that :s my physics teacher gives nuthin away but my cuzin's teacher has aparently told the students to revise slopes more than anythin else..anyone else have any advice on the paper tomorrow?
Reply 4
actually yes
revise the falling ball thingy.. and how to measure " h " or the 1.000 meter the ball falls in the slope... call your couzin !! what else :P
Reply 5
the falling ball thingy???

do you mean the experiment to measure 'g' ? :s-smilie:
Reply 6
no.
the experiment where you measure Ep=K*K.E
where the ball falls 1.000 metre ,
Reply 7
haha na he wont say anythin else, are u talkin about the timing experiment? equations of motion? x
Reply 8
The only thing I can recall on slopes is one where you had to let a ball roll down it and time how long it takes.
Reply 9
Thanks mate.

aparently last summer for the practical they had to roll a marble thing down a slope into a bucket of sand, time it and use the equations of motion..would they rele use the same experiment the year after tho..
