I concluded in the test that there were 2 possible correct answers.

Each of them had at least 1 graph wrong (the other two were plain wrong)

One of them had a changing electric field strength which isn't correct as it remains the same.
Yes, and also the charge was accelerating so it could not have constant velocity, so it was B.

dude how did the graph go for that 3marker? im sure their must have been a trick to it
Probably the changes in force.

Like where it starts at, how it changes, then where it ends up at the end.

it was the eddy currents one where they asked you to mark the direction of the eddy currents, then graph something

Cause that confused the hell out of me and just assumed the hoop was max height which was terrible :(

Yeah it was.

mm bad luck man. I got tricked the first time i did it, went over to check and found i got it all wrong and luckily i was able to change it..

Didn't read the question properly.

How'd you find the rest of the paper?

Some of the mcqs i have not seen or experienced the type of question such as choosing the satellite launch off, however it was do-able.
Other than that and graphing the netforce, the test was fairly straight not as many tricky questions as there was compared to previous trials.

what do you mean? if you assume the projectile of the basketball in real life it travels past the hoop then falls in
