You can download notes from a website called physicsmathstutor and a revision tip will be to do as much past papers as possible which also you can get from this website
Best of luck 👍

dont worry ! the first paper does not have too many concepts so just revise thoroughly and i am sure you will do great!

i think we just replied to each other on the resit thread too haha
How are u guys going to spend tue revising? I am pretty anxious too, but i think once they start it will all be fairly easy.

Also, how important are the think bigger sections? are they actually tested on?
Nah think bigger things you dont need to worry bout. None of that stuff is on the spec its just the textbook trying to make the physics mildly interesting

im actually quite happy that p1 is just two basic topics which is literally 70% GCSE content lmao

70%????????
You must be missing something because there is way more stuff than gcse

The mechanics part mostly is gcse stuffs other than suvat and projectile motion. The other topic is kinda new content
hi guys , can anyone clarify this for me please? Q15b i)

the ball will experience a force towards the right due to the laminar flow . But the ball was initially moving downwards, so the force is at right angles to the motion, does that mean it will not affect it in any way?
the MS says "down and along" along what?

We can assume the ball is falling at terminal velocity so the ball will move in a straight line down towards the right. So essentially on a bearing of 125 degrees i believe
