How to solve an IB PHYSICS HL PAPER 2 question! | IB Physics

In this video I show you my thought process of solving any paper 2 question for the IB Physics HL course. I will be solving an example question from topic 2, applying strategies for understanding the questions, maintaining focus and choosing the correct approach for different types of questions.

⚠MISTAKES IN THE VIDEO⚠
Question 1c: The direction of the resultant force should be acting upwards, as the mass is actually decelerating (slowing down; think of a bungee jumper slowing down (and eventually bouncing back up) once their rope starts to expand). This means the tension force should be drawn upwards with a length greater than that of weight.
Question 1d: When setting up the first equation, weight (Fg) should be written with a negative sign, as the direction is opposite to that of the tension force.

I'm realising that there's been more traffic coming into this video, presumably because of the upcoming M22 Physics Exam, so I wanted to make sure that I wasn't confusing or misinforming anyone. If you spot any more mistakes or confusions please leave a comment! I was quite careless when making the video and must have missed a couple important details. Hopefully the video was still helpful in giving you an idea of how you can approach questions in general.

Best of luck to anyone preparing for this year's exams! Let's all get that grade we want and finish off our 2 year-journey strong!

high quality content, deserves more views :)

for 1c shouldn't arrow be longer thank weight (according to markscheme)?

What device and what software did you use for this?

And for your answer in 1d, it should be resultant plus weight? The markscheme said so
