i feel like there'll be one either abt upthrust, smth abt circuits (maybe a practical idk) or explaining a use of static electricty thats named in the qu?

What questions could they ask for upthrust?

Probably stuff on explain how upthrust occurs, why something floats or sinks. Maybe compare 2 upthrust diagrams?

The panic is settling in I must grind a past paper today because I know tomorrow's paper is going to be so difficult

OMG SAME if there's a 6 marker on upthrust I'm walking out the exam hall tell me why every time I think I finally answer a 3 marker on upthrust correct I get 0/1 marks 😭
