Still ECF though no matte the answer everyone I talked to after the exam got the same as me using the N system, but fingers crossed for low boundaries!! I got extreamely excited when I read the first question as I'd spent 10 minutes before the exam explaining how it works with something on a table to everyone!!!
You actually knew how to answer the first question?! I left it til last and babbled about how the student was talking about the weight but the weight varies depending on its position in the gravitational field blah blah blah and that the actual opposite force is from the centre of gravity of the moon... It was my "Ladies, you have 5 minutes left" panic scribble!
Ahhh well, everyone I talked to did the same as me so at least I'm not the only one! Still, the rest of the paper seemed to be ok, and hopefully a load of ECF marks for the weird bits
Everyone I talked to used both volumes so at least I am not the only one! Someone upload paper so we can see who is right!
Out of interest, how many people who sat the exam today do maths? What are you guys applying for Uni to do? I don't do maths (I hate it) and I've got a place to study veterinary medicine

Ahah yeah I hope so at least, its because the force acting on the equipment by the surface is a reaction to the force due to the interaction with the equipment and the surface and not the weight on the surface. Also it needs to be the same type of force, and the weight isn't an attractive force. The reaction to the weight would be a frictional force I think
You dont need that.... As long as you state they are constant as its a fixed angle, a lot of physics people dont do core so wouldn't know that identity

yeah it won't be in the mark scheme. but u will need the correct equation with either 2sinθcosθ or sin2θ
it was massively harder than past papers- have you DONE any past papers?! I've been regularly getting 100%s on past papers I've never seen before but this exam took it out of me. Maybe you're possessed by the spirit of Newton or sommit.
Hahahaha XD I found it quite hard but most of my peers said it was decent (one guy even said he enjoyed it o_o') so I'm gonna say overall it was hard but not the hardest so far. I hope you're right though; the lower the grade boundaries the better!
