    Hardest part with them I'd the first 10 things you write down at the start! Just triple check the accelerations and reactions and you'll fly through the rest! :)

    Huh..?! :O

    I'm guessing you just mean forces?

    Yeah but I tend to make a mess of the reaction forces in particular! But yeah I'm pretty much talking about the forces.

    I'm just hoping that it's a nice paper with no wedges! :L I have a good grasp on Part As, I know the concepts for Part Bs but generally manage to f up!

    How do i do terminal velocity if it comes up in Q10? Do I just fill in 0 for v?

    @terminal velocity, a = 0.

    Or you could bring t to infinity and evaluate v (usually get something like 1/(e^t) which is 0 when you bring t to infinity).

    It depends on the question, really. The first method is usually easier - unless you've just found v in terms of t.

    The velocity doesn't go to 0, the acceleration does, and this happens as t goes to infinity.
    You'll more than likely have something like v = K(1-e^(-at))

    So when you put in infinity the part with e goes to 0 :)

    I don't blame you! As soon as I seal up my exam, I'm getting rid of the paper, not checking up any solutions and no post-mortem.... it's DONE!

    Good luck everyone, lord know's we'll need it..

    No, for every thing else (well not the languages) I added up my marks to get a rough estimate on what I got. It's not overly realistic obviously but it does give me a bit of a boost...

    THIS however is going to seriously f*** up my chances of College in Scotland (unless I manage to get a B in English, which is unlikely, and even then I'd need a C1 in this!)

    I will probably come out crying.. :( And my mammy will be working.! :( Lol...! :P
