[QUOTE=1-800dialaki;22200472]That's easy. Just draw a line directly downwards from the centre of mass and it will stay upright as long as it falls inside the base of the tractor.[/QUOTE]
I'm not revising for physics, it's the only exam that I won't revise for, for some reason if feels way too easy. Hopefully a-level will be more challenging. Also I have done that question so many times in class.

I used to think GCSE Physics was way too easy
Soon as I got to AS Level I was crap.
Jlj1 Business Studies is the easiest possible subject there is.

Also, you're right about the centre of mass questions. I assume you've done the one with the child's mobile? I think your just meant to say that it is "the place at which the object's mass is thought to be concentrated."[/QUOTE]
Don't get me wrong, I love space, but I never seem to get the questions right. It's all stuff that isn't mentioned in the revision guide, like I did this C3 paper where the answer was that "Nuclear Fission creates heavier elements due to the intense heat in a supernova" (for 3 marks) and I only got the heavier elements mark (I was going to write nuclear fission but I never would have said anything about heat)
And yeah, that child's mobile question was a load of crap.
(To the dude who is struggling with the tractors on hills: You have to say the line of action/force lies outside of the wheel base, so there is no moment)
[QUOTE=Wolfie13;22197749]Ahahaha you're in year 10?[/QUOTE]
Not necessarily. Just because your school uses some crazy fucked-up system that drags getting a GCSE over two exam seasons doesn't mean every school does.

AQA RS is easy
I 100%'d it, just make sure you know your quotes and have a general idea about the opinions of the denominations
Unless you are on the new spec that was introduced this year, I have no idea how hard/easy that is
who did english language as today?
Ahh, GCSE OCR (ideas in context) chemistry tomorrow, but if the past papers and their respective grade boundries are anything to go off, it should be a doddle (50% would net you an A), but C2 maths was horrendous, sort of glad I'm doing it all again at college. Barely finished my English, but I am a very slow writer :( But the parent child relationship question (for our class) was a godsend, and the Mockingbird question was alright I suppose.
I did a stupid amount of writing in my English exam a few days back, I managed to fill up the entire twelve or so pages and still had twenty minutes or so spare at the end to just sit there and stare at the wall. I think it went pretty well.
GCSEs are easy and AS is more of the same just with different questions
[QUOTE=rieda1589;22198443]'Describe the nature of an Alpha particle.'
[highlight]WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT KINDA QUESTION IS THAT.[/highlight][/QUOTE]
I failed the first part of that paper. I'm rubbish at particles and stuff.
My first physics exam is in 8 hours woop!
Physics in 5 hours.
I have a Statistics 2 exam in two weeks and we haven't stated the topic yet.
And next week is half term
My maths teachers didn't know that I had been entered for it, and pretty much said I was on my own learning the whole of S2
:saddowns:
Everyone on Facebook is crying about politics.
Just finished high school, officially. Still got to go back in though for exams and some revision, but we did get all the teachers to sing Don't Stop Believing.
EDIT: Depressed now :(
Just did OCR Gateway Physics Higher P123
I'm sure we didn't do anything about signal loss. It's not in the revision guide or our textbook :argh:
Still, even if I get everything I wasn't sure of wrong I'll still be in the 80-90% range, so I don't mind that much.
That AQA Physics paper I did on Thursday was fucked up.
There was some shit about a non-ohmic bulb or something like that, which we hadn't been taught.
Are you guys talking about GCSE? Even at GCSE you should be able to "apply" knowledge, not just recall it. An exam has to be a test of intelligence to at least some extent, not a test of who memorised the text book the best.

If you're planning to do A Levels then you need to buck up your ideas. If you can't handle a GCSE application question then I fear for your studies at A Level.

Non-ohmic resistor.
Yeah I had no idea.
Whos doing A2 OCR Physics here?

Resistance goes up over time, IIRC. It heats up.

No, I think it goes up with current.

The question was how could engineers reduce signal loss between a transmitter and receiver, and we've done nothing like that. I thought it might be something to do with diffraction, but I don't see how an engineer could do anything about that, so I put boost the signal strength and decrease the distance. I can't think of any knowledge I could apply to the question, and applying knowledge is one of my strengths.

Basically the graph of a non-Ohmic lightbulb is a line of increasing gradient if the y axis is V and the x axis is I.
I did an english paper the other day (GCSE) and found it alright, just wrote a bunch about foreshadowing in of mice and men, as well as a few poems. not too bad, but i have 2 more of those!
For those doing of mice and men:
I was at the end of the paper and thought "what if crooks solved all his problems that way? (shooting them)
"Look at curlys wife! Nobody loves her, dresses like a whore, can barely act. You should shoot her curly. Right...here *points*"
You mean Carlson.
[QUOTE=lazyguy;22236643]You mean Carlson.[/QUOTE]
Oh shit yeah, bugger.
I knew i'd do that. :frown:
And now i remember who crooks is. i'm not sure if that's funnier or not.
Had Maths a couple of days ago. I would have found it really easy but unfortunately I got no sleep whatsoever the night before and couldn't think straight :frown:
I think I did okay anyway.
OCR Maths paper one tomorrow. I should do fine. Can't even remember if I have an exam in the afternoon, though. Any luck and I only have one so I can be home for lunch.
Maths exam tomorrow. 14:00. Shit, I'm nervous.
Top of my year in maths. Gonna rape this paper :v:
anyone doing AS chemistry tomorrow ?
Im suppossed to be revising
