Yep, first exam!
I'm trying to get FP2 finished before M3, although I learnt most of M3 a while ago; it's a nice jump from M2.
Aha nice!(Original post by Zacken)
SHM just has this really nice feel about it, y'know? :-)
Yes, I think I only really need to go over the transformations/loci.
Do you know if we can use laplace transformation for differential equations?
Do you think, that the maths within physics is really easy? Like the AS mechanics module for physics is half of the difficulty of M1 imo?
Covered all of the circular motion in physics, ideal gas laws which will be fun to do. And chem too!

I had planned on self studying it for June 2016 starting in January. Do you think the hardest part is understanding the actual concepts, or are things just long-winded and so harder to learn and apply?

I find FP2 C4 S2 all easier than M2, but that is because my mechanics is weak. I will strat up though for it. Its a shame there is not a FP4 or S5 for edexcel, 5 mechanics modules are the most abundant. -

both but mainly the concepts will get harder

I've heard some topics are similar to the A2 Physics spec, but quite a bit harder. Wonder how that will work out. -

M2 is not easy at all I think.

relative motion is one of the hardest topics of entire current mechanics syllabus -

relative motion is in M4 in EDEXCEL and I fully agree ...

This thread has been dead for a while, though I'd post a question. Circular motion question up for grabs!

Resolving horizontally:
Resolving vertically:
Solving simultaneously yields (omitting the obvious algebra)
And some trigonometry shows that
So our final answer is
Solving for the normal reaction gives us. So
. Using the famous
yields that
as required.
Nice question, though. Cheers.Last edited by Zacken; 25-12-2015 at 21:25.
