Did anyone else do last year’s paper 1? I really hope ours is as nice as it was :/

We didn't get A-level topics removed last year I think (at least not for physics), just advanced information.

Yeah like a bookshelf or wardrobe titled at an angle. Maybe a question about stability as well like the line of action of the centre of mass being inside or outside of the base.

Yeah I should probably start right? Exam is in 10 days. It’s okay though I’m pretty confident on all the content, I just need to do a few past papers and I’m all set.

im not familiar with that last part about inside and outside of base? would you mind sending some questions about that

that was what i felt before doing the papers too lol but the markscheme and question wording can be such a b*tch so you ending up losing stupid marks :s-smilie:

Do you have the CGP guide?

ahh those type of questions, haven't seen that since early y12 so it disappeared outta my memory but imma check up on that later to refresh. They'll probably pair these questions with some centripedal forces too but they shouldn't be too difficult

Yeah it will either be with centripetal forces or moments, either way it’s not too difficult. Just don’t forget that it’s “the line of action” of the force and not just the force.
