it wasn't bad but I know I missed quite a few marks lol. there were so many questions on improving the experiment and the last page with the graph questions I dint really get

same!!! I was waffling way too hard on those improving the experiment and accuracy questions

for the 6 marker i'm not sure i read the question correctly. i talked about it taking longer for a change in momentum and therefore less force but it was talked about a larger distance and something to do with the rear wheels

the paper was actually nice for once
better than paper 1
what did you guys get for the 5 marker maths question to 2 significant figures

the marks would probably come from finding the equation, rearranging, identifying point on graph, calculating, and giving to 2 s.f.

for the final part of the last question. did you have to work out the gradient for each planet or something. I did something like i dont remember the numbers but I did 1.28/numberx10 power of 11 and 2.something/numberx10 power of 11, and say both of the gradients arent equal so shes correcy

i found out the scale factor of the radius and multipled one of the speeds by the scale factor and it didn't equal the other speed so it couldn't be proportional

I found out that the gradients for both planets werent the same, is that right?

i don't completely understand your method but it sounds logical. was the question about the speed of orbit being proportional to the radius of the orbit? i'm worried i misread it now lol
