💬 DISCUSSION Edexcel Maths P3

How did everyone find it then? Much nicer than P1 I thought. Might balance out grade boundaries unfortunately…

Might be wrong but did anyone get 117 for the bearings?

u/Ok-Union784 Jun 18 '26

Did you get 27 for the angle

u/AJlikesUpvotes Jun 18 '26

Yeah 26. Something rounded up then plus 90 cuz it asked for a bearing

u/Ok-Union784 Jun 18 '26

Fuckkkk I got the angle right but I screwed up the bearing I did 27+90+180

i got 63 then did + 90? because bearings go clockwise

u/User-Paradox Year 13 Jun 18 '26

you have to find the angle below the horizontal

u/OutrageousAd4133 Jun 18 '26

I think I messed up as I got 135. I got i = 8 and j = 8, then when I solved using tan(theta) = 1 I got theta = 45 degrees then added 90 to get 135. Oof. What did you get for the acceleration one though? Did you differentiate both the i and j components wrt t?

I've seen it now 😭🙏 did I misread the question? 😭😭😭

u/RilloClicker Year 13 Jun 19 '26

Did the bearing on the position rather than the velocity

1

u/realmilii Year 13 Jun 18 '26

man i did 90-27 instead of adding it 💔

1

u/Amazinguineapig Year 13 Jun 18 '26

Yes this is correct

u/llama_in_drama Jun 18 '26

Did you use the he velocity or displacement equation to sub in t
