What is your answer?
The answer to the question of the Transcendental Analytic, how physics, a pure science of nature, is possible, is
{ 1 } - because all the laws of this universal science are universal in a strict sense.
{ 2 } - because pure physics is the same as empirical physics.
{ 3 } - Because its principles are synthetic a posteriori rather than synthetic a priori, and are thus empirical hypotheses learned by induction from experience.
{ 4 } - because there are principles which are derived from the categories of the understanding and thus a priori.
{ 5 } - because the principle of causality, that every event has a cause, is learned from experience.

No, some principles or laws of pure physics apply only to external reality which is spatially determined, and not to internal psychic states of the empirical ego. Think of the axioms of intuition. Do internal sensations have extensive magnitudes in the sense of spatial dimensions.

No, pure physics is propaedeutic (must be learned before) to empirical physics. For example, one must know the proposition of pure physics, that "every event has a cause" before one can know the laws of empirical physics, such as the laws of motion. See p. 264.

No, this is how the principles or laws of empirical physics are arrived at.

No, it is derived from a pure concept of the understanding, causality, and thus is an a priori judgment. See p. 264.
