old Higher Physics past papers

We looked at projectiles and radiation today.  The past paper questions we tried were taken from 1992-1999.  I’ll post some of these papers on the blog so you can try some more of them.  Note that the exam used to have two papers, paper I was multiple choice and paper II was the written paper.
