This paper covers
- Section A (Criterion 5): vector displacement at any angle for an orienteering course, then uniform acceleration, with full working, units and directions.
- Section B (Criterion 6): two perpendicular currents and the resultant flux density, including at least one labelled field or force diagram.
- Section C (Criterion 7): refractive index from data and critical-angle measurement, mixing calculation with a justified explanation.
- Section D (Criterion 8): binding energy curve, fission versus fusion yield, with a non-routine or real-world context.
- Scenario: a bushland orienteering event in the (fictional) Meander Ranges and a school energy-policy debate on Tasmania's future electricity supply.
