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!
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

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 .
