I made stupid mistakes for 2 of the multiple choice ones, no big deal though, only 2 marks.
The question with the cart thinger that was accelerating and you had to choose the motion of the ball, I didn't read the accelerating bit and just put (a).
The one where it said something like "what is the maximum wavelength..." or whatever, I had it all right then I used v = f*(lambda), and rearranged it so f = (lambda)/v

Doing 4-unit maths, you'd think I'd be able to do algebra.
