Modern physics uses models tested by spectra, scattering, decays, and detectors. Distinguish an observation from its interpretation.
A single nuclear decay is random, but large samples follow predictable laws. Use half-life or an exponential relation with the correct scale.
In atomic and nuclear processes, check energy, momentum, charge, and particle numbers where applicable. Do not mix eV and J without conversion.
For “Kinematics”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.
For “Forces”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.
For “Momentum”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.
For “Work, energy and power”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.
For “Rigid body mechanics in HL scope”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.

A sample starts with 640 active nuclei and 3 half-lives pass. How many are expected?
N = 80
Before calculating, explain the key idea from “Kinematics” and which conditions must be checked.
The answer should show not only which rule is used for “Kinematics”, but also why it is valid here.
Theme A: Space, time and motion
Вісім завдань від базових навичок до екзаменаційного рівня. Спочатку виконайте самостійно.
A sample starts with 280 nuclei. How many are expected after three half-lives?
Halve three times.

Structure a solution for “Forces”: givens, SI units, law, substitution, and interpretation.
State the law before substituting numbers.
A full solution states symbols/units, selects a valid law for “Forces”, shows substitution and calculation, and interprets the result.
Identify three uncertainty sources in measuring “Momentum” and improve each one.
Consider instrument resolution, reaction time, repeats, and controls.
A full response links each specific error source to a targeted improvement and identifies random or systematic impact.
Plan a suitable graph for “Work, energy and power” data and explain how to obtain a gradient or relationship.
Put the independent variable on x and dependent variable on y.
A full response labels axes/units, uses a suitable scale and best fit; gradient uses a large triangle and is interpreted with units.
Check whether a result for “Rigid body mechanics in HL scope” is sensible using units, order of magnitude, and a limiting case.
A check should not merely repeat the same calculation.
A full check confirms dimensions/units, compares expected magnitude, and tests behaviour when one variable becomes very small or large.
Connect “Relativity in HL scope where scheduled” to energy conservation or a force/field model and justify the choice.
Define the system and interactions.
A full response defines the system, describes transfer or interaction, applies the appropriate model, and states losses or limitations.
Write a multi-step exam response about “Kinematics” with calculation and evaluation.
Separate givens, model, calculation, result, and evaluation.
A full response includes an appropriate diagram/model, laws, algebraic rearrangement, SI substitution, suitably precise result, and evaluation of assumptions.
Compare two methods for investigating “Forces” and select the more reliable using criteria.
Use accuracy, repeatability, control, and safety.
The choice must use at least three comparable criteria and acknowledge one trade-off or limitation.

Physics
IB Diploma DP1: структурований маршрут з математики та фізики з розділами, практикою і наступними кроками.
Структура відповідає підручнику й допомагає організувати вивчення теми.
Теми, де найчастіше виникають помилки або потрібна додаткова практика.
З чого почати: підручник, daily material, PDFs, videos і worked examples.
Цільова практика перед full tests, щоб coverage було зрозумілим.
Як вимірювати прогрес у главі і коли додавати її до загального mock.
Що робити після глави і як вона пов'язана з наступним розділом.
Примітка: офіційну екзаменаційну програму кожного року завжди уточнюйте у школі, викладача та за поточними офіційними джерелами.
