View Full Version : Advancing physcis c/w
hiya everyone,
i was just wondering if anyone else is doing the advancing physics AS level and could help me with the data anaylsis c/w. i dont even know where to start and dont even know wot i am meanta do wiv all these numbers. hehe please HELP!!! [*(]
Hey, speak to jimmyp pm him or something, i beleive he is doing the same course as you.
thank u ive emailed him so hopefully ill have my c/w done in no time :D
thanx again xx
Origionally posted by you

unfortunately i have to confess that i am not doing the coursework option, i am doing the final practical exam. Sorry vezzer..
Your such a disapointement, there i was trying to be helpful and u screw it all up.
oh thanx anyways
ill have to tackle to it on my own :( ill keep u up to date on how im getting on hehe.
is there a advancing physics course then were u dont do any c/w i need to be on that one hehe :D
speak soon
cheers x x x x x
Yea i think its AQA that give you the option of doing a practical exam at the end instead of Coursework, i think its AQA, mite be OCR or could possibly even be Edexcel, lol. You can see why i spent 2 years doing AS level.
hehe so it could be any of the exam boards :D which one did u do have u done ur A level now? wot u get? im finding physics mega hard but i need an A in it ahhhhhh [8)] hehe x x x
I failed miserably. Twice.
But i was predicted a C at ASlevel, i wont be getting it at all now but i dont really mind because i have a job as an aprentice for Mercedes Benz and aslong as i stick to it they will fund me to go through UNI and get an engineering degree of somesort.
What are you planning on doing when you go to UNI?

AQA is the exam board which i am sitting and they do the option of practical or coursework. Physics is quite a hard A level but i enjoy it immensely even if I am only predicted a C. I tend to find some aspects really easy but then they chuck exponential curves at us and they are [g)] to work with.
Anyway you could try us if you want, I'm not doing the coursework but i'd be happy to at least TRY and help

wow working for mercedes benz must be really cool as well. much better than physics im sure hehe
im hoping to go to uni and study to be a vet [:D] so i gotta get a A ahhhh but ive bin predicted A/B so fingers crossed. i didnt even wanna take physics as its waytoo hard but i gotta [:(]
im like u tho find bits easy and bits hard i like all the practical stuff like the materials bits but the maths bits completely confuzzle me [8)] im doing wave behaviour at the moment and its just going all ova my head hehe.
when i start using all the hard equations in my c/w then ill need lots of help so you both better get ready hehe :D

Yeah, Andy took the smart move out, I'm still at college and i hate almost every minute of it!! OOooOOoohhh! going to be a vet huh? Im still deciding what I would like to do if i get into university. I would like to do physics but i have been told that they focus more on maths then physics...[g)] I physics is the fun part
I would be happy to help with your c/w just gotta get my maths brain in gear. Are you doing a maths A-level as well?
nah im not doing maths as well definatly not! im even worse at that than physics hehe
for vet school i had to do either physics or maths so i thought well i know a bita physics but no maths :D was an easy decision.
wot other subjects are u taking???
maybe u could be a vet too hehe xx

I am taking Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Maths. I doubt i could be a vet, i would never get the grades. However i can say that it was advised at our college that if you took physics, you should take maths, because it helps a lot. [8)]
I think i wont get to uni anyway so im looking into career work a bit as well.... just cant find anything that suits me.
oooo nearly same subjects as me --- biology chemistry physics and general studies hehe
i was advised to take maths as well but i knew it would make me go insane hehe and i hate the maths teachers at my school they are well wierd!!!
wot wud be ur perfect job??
x

UH OH!
Ha jimmy's perfect job would have to involve free beer and good looking women. hmmmm sounds abit like my perfect job. ;)
I would like to work in another country for Mercedes Benz, probably the US. It is a fun job but the best part is driving the cars.[:D]

Oh, i have done general studies already... [g)] boring as hell. All maths teachers are eccentric, dont worry!!
I think Andy has pretty much summed up my perfect job.... other than that it would have to include monkeys as well!
hehe i know i have it today but i think ive only bin to 3 out of like 30 lessons so i dont think ill be getting a very good grade hehe. im in chemistry at the moment [:D] im meanta be researching titrations hehe
if i cant be a vet i think ill be a zoo keeper, and then i could look after monkeys [6)]
i got sum equations for u to help wiv l8r hehe, get ready

ok im ready for them. my brother is in his final year of a zoology degree...he enjoyed it very much
I am doing the advancing physics a-level (I did AS level last year). However, I didn't do any data analysis project we did a sensor project and a research and presentation project. Is your board OCR?
Anyway if you need any help just message me and I will be happy to help.

wow thats well cool where did he do his degree wot job is he doing now???
ooo back to c/w im doing data analysis and i ahve to draw vectors of height and acceleration and height and speed i think ???
how would i go about this i am well bad at vector and i have no clue where to start [8)]
please help x x x x x

He doesnt have a job yet, i have no idea what he is going to do when he finishes his degree, he is thinkin of a vetinary degree but as a post-graduate that would be expensive. He is at Swansea Uni at the moement and enjoying everything but the Welsh people. lol. Whats your Vector problem??
cool good luck to him :) aawww i love welsh ppl they have the coolest accents
now vectors... right i have like a speed an acceleration and a height and i have to make a connection between like speed, acceleration and the heights at which they are. so like with increased height increased speed.
but i gotta display it in like vecotrs and i am well rubbish at them and have no clue where to start. which do i use as which arrow and how do i work out a resultant???
xxxxx
right mathmatitions :)
if i have v(squared- cant do a little 2) = u squared + 2as
if i want accelerations does that rearrange to make
a = v squared / 2s x u squared??
HELP!!
xxxxxxxx

the welsh accent is rubbish, its sounds SO retarded.
i think the equation would be
a = v^2-u^2/s but dont hold me to that, cos i suck at maths!!
HallsofIvy
Feb29-04, 06:43 PM
Welsh accent? Am I missing something here?
If you know that v2 = u2+ 2as
Then we are really going to need to know what "u", "a" and "s" are!
by the way: to get v2, type v [ sup ] 2 [ / sup ] without the spaces.
thank u very much for ur help [:D] the coursework is cummin on well woohhooo
xxxxx
lol i was close....just missed out the "2" How's the coursework going on now? I feel lucky in a way that i dont do coursework, though it does put a lot of weight on me feeling confident in the practical exam. I have a tendency to make practicals fail spectacularly. For example, my biology coursework involved an experiment last year which included gassing locusts with CO2. However the locusts didnt seem to realise they were to go into torpor when the CO2 levels rise. I must have pumped litres of CO2 into the bloody tubes and they STILL didnt go into torpor for like, half an hour. stupid locusts. [!:)]
hehe yeh u was close :)
the c/w going good..ish i handed in my planning an initial calculations today so i was releived. i kinda like having loadsa c/w cos then u can get it checked hehe and cheat a bit by asking ppl on here hehe
practicals always go wrong wiv me too in my biology practical i nearly sliced off my finger hehe but i can definatly say ive never had a problem wiv my locusts hahaa
