Looking for A-Level Physics Exams

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking A-level physics exam papers to compare their difficulty with exams in British Columbia, Canada. They request anyone with sample exams to share them. Another participant mentions that OCR provides free access to past A-level physics papers, noting that while the exams may not be particularly difficult, the grade boundaries are often low due to widespread student struggles. Additionally, SQA offers higher and advanced higher papers that are comparable to A-levels. The discussion emphasizes the availability of resources for accessing past physics exams.

I'm looking for an A-level physics exam, from any year, a whole exam.

I'd like to compare the difficulty to the exams we see here in BC Canada. Please if you have sample exam share it!

Also if this is the incorrect forum please move my post, - I wasn't sure where to put it elsewhere!

Thanks

OCR maintain a stock of all their A-level past papers free for anyone to download. This is the exam board I did my A-level physics with, I wouldn't say they are particularly difficult at all, although the grade boundaries are often low as lots of people seem to struggle. Hope this helps!

SQA should have some
highers or advanced highers are roughly the same as the A-levels

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
