I found it quite tough too, especially the five mark question on generators :/ Hopefully I can get at least 70/90
Does anyone know the grade bounderies for physics ?

I did higher and found it very hard lol. I wrote about power stations for the generator one, not specifically about generators. I really hope I do well enough to get an A seeing as I think I did well in bio and chem. I messed up a few equations and I put 0.04 for the Bequerel Q when it was actually 25. Bummer. Well anyways yeah I thought it was hard, but then I hate physics and find everything hard, so it could've been worse.

Yeh the last question was simple. All you needed to know was :-
1/2mv*2 = mgh

The paper overall was easy in the last question u had to use kE = 1/2mv^2 and make v the subject which gives v as 5.477.... which is ca. 5.5m/s

the question was quite good cause they gave us the answer and we had 2 work towards it - it means that we know the previous answers are correct as well.

im pretty sure the A* boundary will be quite high this time cause the paper wasnt too difficult. last year it was around 80% so i think itll be somewhere around 83-85% which hopefully ive got.

Can someone please tell me the actual answers for the last page. Thanks!

I'd say that A* is 77 or above, A is 63-77, B is 53-63 and C is 42-53

im really sad about the last page. I got 3J for the first bit but I'm quite sure its wrong, my friend got 3000 - I think I didn't change the time to minutes because I did use the right formula. What was the answer????
