Physics 1B03 CAPA #1
Halp.

Actually, it's not that bad but there are a few questions where my logic is not producing right answers and I'm about to rage. Anyone else working on CAPA feel like working through some of them together tomorrow at school? Or even if you're not working on CAPA and feel like being a nice person, tips would be appreciated. A lot.

Hi,

I took this course last year, Doing CAPA on the deadline day is the worst mistake to do, please for future CAPAs try working on them as soon as they are released ! Good luck in the course.

PROTIP: google each question with no numbers and you can find the exact method to answer the questions. Like if the question says "a 1000 kg weather rocket ....." then you would google "a kg weather rocket ....." worked for me.

Haha I did the exact same thing when I took the course. The solution to every capa question is out there if you google hard enough!

edit: not that it will help when test time comes around. You probably want to save google as a last resort

try not to use the google searching thing. The reason they give you ten tries is so that you can learn from your mistakes.

Just some tips:

1) some times the answer is just the negative of the answer your getting
2) check your units, dont be using cm when your supposed to be using meter etc.
