Physics 9702 Past Exam Paper Worked Solutions 2016 - 2021

  • Physics 9702 Past Exam Paper Worked Solutions 2016 - 2021

Many of you requested solutions for the more recent past exam questions. Even though some of them are already available among the 1100+ already solved questions at the 'Doubt' pages (All praises be to Allah), we have decided to provide a more organized page for the more recent papers.

On this page, links for the worked solutions of past examination papers for A-Level Physics 9702 as from the year 2016 (latest change in syllabus as of now).


As many of you already know, links for the earlier papers are already provided at Physics Notes | Worked Solutions for Past Papers. That page contains links for papers up to 2015 and is an important page that needs to be bookmarked.

In the same way, I believe that this new reference page would be even more important for you as it will contain links for the relatively more recent papers. So, you should definitely bookmark this page and refer to it frequently as it will be updated in times when new papers are added.

Note that you can also attempt questions chapter-wise through the 'A-Level Topic by Topic' column on the right of each page. Insha Allah, we may make a page specific to this later and we hope that with time, this database will keep on growing.

We hope that these solutions and explanations help you in your studies.
You are invited to ask for any questions / explanations / queries that are not yet available and share your opinions / ideas on how you believe we can improve.

      Note that in the solution given, we are only considering the momentum after collision.

      The questions could also be solved as follows:
      Sum of vertical momentum before explosion = Sum of vertical momentum after collision

      0 = 3.0M ×7.0 + [(2.0M × –6.0 sinθ)+ (1.5M × –8.0 sinθ)]

      Here, the upward direction is taken as positive and the downward direction as negative.
