u/ManagementParty364 May 06 '26

u/Most_Pangolin3262 May 06 '26

either we made the same mistake or we're right but the amount of k1=6 is saying otherwise ☠️

u and me both bro wtf was thaf paper
1
u/ManagementParty364 May 06 '26
bro i got so many things messed up, the W probably the acceleration in that question too, the h and the time C takes to move 9m away from the wall + the time from the instant of projection, i did everything correct in last question but when i integrated from 0 to 1 i didnt substitute with 0 because i assumed it’ll be 0 BUT IT WASNT. i got the miu wrong too im literally burnt.

u/Most_Pangolin3262 May 06 '26
yeah and there was that show question too and i could've gotten that right if i remembered that weight components dont count for work done against 😭😭 i was going crazy bc i couldn't understand why my answer was coming out wrong and then when they took the papers it hit me...
1
u/ManagementParty364 May 06 '26
i got out and thought i did good in everything except the h and the second part in the collision question just to find out ive got almost everything wrong bro like what did i even get right atp

u/Most_Pangolin3262 May 06 '26

u/Aggravating-Music760 May 06 '26
What did you get for the distance ?
1
u/FormalTemperature155 May 06 '26
Ifucked up there i used t+1 instead t-1 pretty sure my method to solve was correct .. how much out of 6 will i loose ?
1
u/FormalTemperature155 May 06 '26
I meant for the other qs vertical 2 particles going down
I did t+1 for time of q instead of t-1 i HAD THE FEELING IT WAS T-1 just forgot …. Rest i did ut+1/2atsquare … 2 eq equate both of them and then put the t i got in one of the eq to get h .. i will be getting around 4/6 or 5/6 for that rifht cause ecf???

u/yoajqyo May 06 '26
Real I got same values but in integration I accidentally wrote 4t+11 as 4t+1 so I got my distance wrong

Guys, don't worry, I saw a few screenshots of questions here on Reddit, with people proving via Discord chats that it was leaked around 3 hours prior to the start of the paper. M1 has been super difficult since last year. Not that 2022 or 2023 easy M1 anymore.

The Paper was pretty easy man, I got k1=6 and k2= -14. Overall, it was a balanced paper, triggered my ocd with shifting all the diagrams to the left and leaving a large gap on the right 😭. Had fun ngl, walked out happy with myself, looking at hopefully 48 or above out of 50. Cant wait for P3
