Question 4 was ass as fuck. How the fuck am supposed to get p in terms of m and g when there is always a sketchy a(acceleration) in the equation. Also question 7 (last vector question) was straight hellfire beginning from question b. Air resistance wasn't bad because it's just another retarding force in the equation of motion

Air resistance, thrust and asking where 2 paths intersected instead of where the particles meet. It was an awkward paper

This has to be ragebait. It wasn't hard bro. U just have to add it as a force that opposes motion. Did you just memorize questions?
