I have a question what is the requirement of physical presence of usa if I want to apply CBRA for my child currently living in Uk I m us citizen . If physical presence is 5 yrs then including vocations also Bcz I spend 6 yrs in USA but in 6 yrs every year I went out of usa for vocations 

Sometimes a CRBA depends on physical presence and sometimes it depends on residency.  Need more details.   
 

Are you married?
 

We know from https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/767613-physical-presence-for-crba-split/?do=findComment&comment=10505616 that your spouse is not a US citizen.

Yeah not the easiest thread to follow sometimes. Anyway luckily for OP the US embassy in each country generally has quite detailed pages on CRBA and the UK is no exception to this. All the details needed seem to be here

 I don’t know but people saying here  that I have to physical presence in USA 5 yrs otherwise I m not eligible for CRBA 

The purpose of physical presence is to demonstrate that you are an American citizen and have lived in the US for a certain amount of time. Having this time allows you the power to transmit your citizenship to your child. If you cannot evidence you have spend continuous presence in the US then how can you transmit citizenship?
