Physics: What are you covering?

Dwellingdweller

Hey guys! What are yis covering for the Physics exam? And what do yis reckon of Waves coming up this year? I'll probably learn them but if it's possible to get the A1 without I'd rather, they're a balls of a question. :P Definitely learning all the experiments tho. Here's what I'm doing:

Linear Motion
Density, Pressure, Volume
Gravitation + Circular Motion + SHM
Heat and Temperature
Electric Charges
Current Electricity
Electromagnetism, Induction & AC Current
Semiconductors
The Electron
Radioactivity & Nuclear Energy
Applied Electricity

I'm doing everything except mechanicsI can't wrap my head around half of it.

Heat
Waves
All electricity related stuff incl. Magnetism+semiconductors
Particle Physics
Radiation
The electron, x-rays etc

Everything except geometric optics, I hate the maths and the questions are so long. I hope we don't get a horrible mechanics or magnetism question:(

I think the comprehension question (11?) will be nuclear because of Japan, hopefully magnetism comes up in Q12 so it's handy. A heat long question would be a godsend

Doing everything and particle physics as the option.. Still abit shaky on SHM motion, Circular Motion and some parts of electricity but the rest are grand! Hoping for a B.. The maths side will probably let me down though :S

Everything except the electricity experiments. Hoping for an A or B and I don't plan on doing any electricity questions. Just hoping the document isn't an electricity question because I love the documents.

This is what I'm covering well:
-All Mechanics.
-All Electricity.
-All Nuclear/Modern Physics and my option.
-The Doppler Effect.
-Every experiment apart from last years.

And I'll look over Waves, Sound and Light, just for Q5 and Q12. I think I'll just leave out heat.

If I don't get an A1 I'll be bitterly disappointed I'm leaving all my study for it until the days before the exam though!

Banking on this. I took up Physics in November so i'm leaving out electricity and mechanics completely. Won't have much choice on the section B anyway. Hoping for a good B. I dunno though.

Same here yet I'm doing Physics since 5th year :P We just didn't cover Mechanics cos of the big choice on the paper but I'm not doing Electricity cos I don't like it.
I will have no choice on Section B but with a bit of luck we'd get 2 full questions on modern physics and it should be fine

Pretty much all mechanics, all electricity(except applied elec), nuclear physics and particle physics, wave/circular motion, the wave nature of light, heat and probably more but I'm not in focus mood right now.

How do yee recommend studying the experiments? Thinking of leaving out the heat experiments as the diagrams and procedures are hateful...

Isn't that Really restricting on section B every year there is 1 full question on both mech. and electricity(maybe even 2) and what about q12 then and q5??

Heat experiments are actually a gift, they're nice and simple if you study them enough. Just keep in mind always when doing heat transfer Q's that energy lost by one substance = energy gained by another, so mc(change in temp) = mc(change in temp), obvs you need to add formulas for latent heat and stuff like that if that's in the question but that's pretty much all you need to remember for those experiment q's!

Everything except electromagnetic Induction. Hate that stuff.
