AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the perceived difficulty of the AS Level Physics practical compared to the A2 Level. Some participants express concerns about the challenges of the waves paper, which has been a significant hurdle for many students. There is a belief that this year's AS practical is harder than the A2 practical, with one student noting their own experience of finding the AS practical easy. Resitting students emphasize the importance of focusing on the waves topic to avoid complications. Overall, the conversation highlights varying experiences and expectations regarding the practical assessments.

Just wondering if anyone here is doing AS Level physics practical tomorrow?

AS practical

Yep! I'm resitting it because I didn't do very well in the waves paper. Last year my planning and my practical were fine but I almost failed the waves paper. For all you doing AS this year, concentrate on waves because it is a major pain resitting the planning and practical as well as waves!

Apparantly this years AS practical is harder than the A2 one so good luck to all AS students (and students resitting like me!), and those doing just A2, think yourself lucky!
 
I had the AS practical today and it was easy (hope that doesn't mean I missed the point!). Therefore the A2 one should be really easy!

Hope it went well for everyone else today!
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
