I have a feeling it’ll be bad since paper 1 was so good

anyone have any predictions?

forces, sinking and floating, extension rp possibily, elastic vs inelastic deformation, moments and gears, resultant forces, waves, lenses, electromagnetic spectrum , visible light , emission and absorption of infrared, space physics, red shift or life cycle of starts OR why for a stable orbit radius has to change
magnetism, could honestly be on anything Not so sure

what side are you on, -9450N or 9450N for the resultant force of the car?

Calumari

differences between visible light and sound waves
-sound waves speed up when entering a denser medium whereas light waves decrease in speed
-sound waves are longitudinal whereas light waves are transverse (described how energy transfer is parallel/perpendicular to wave direction)
-only light waves can be transmitted in a vacuum
similarity
-(all waffle) both are transfers of energy through a medium
-both can be perceived by the brain to gain awareness of its surroundings

what did people get for calculations on higher combined?

I got like 0.75 for the magnetic flux density and 11.5 for the 6 marker but I can’t remember any others and also they are probably not correct so don’t use that as correct answers

40, 62.5, ±0.06, 10ms², 500Hz, 96m/s, 280N + 40°, -9450N, 8.4m/s², 1.94× 10^-3, 23000
I don't remember the number of questions but all the answers I got are in order from beginning to end!

What did I do wrong I got 50 degrees and I think I got 312 Newtons for the scale diagram

That's what I got
