Physics Exam Prep: Forces

This document contains mark schemes and questions for a forces revision test. 1. The first question involves plotting points on a graph and determining the steepest line. 2. The second question asks about compressing springs and suggestions for improving the design of a spring system. 3. The third question covers weight, forces, and parachute descent. It involves calculating weight and analyzing how opening a parachute affects terminal velocity.
