c)(i)
Object distance is between fo and 2fo
So that the image formed by the objective lens is real, inverted and magnified
ii
The distance between objective lens and eyepiece lens
should be greater than (fo + fo ).
So that the image formed by the objective lens is positioned
at a distance less than fe .
iii
The distance between the image formed by the objective lens and the eyepiece lens
must be less than fe .
So that the eyepiece lens act as magnifying lens.
d)
Arrangement L is chosen.
9. a)(i) A form of energy
ii
The reading of thermometer in diagram 9.1 > 9.2
Volume of water in diagram 9.1 < 9.2
The smaller the volume of water, the smaller the mass of water. If the mass of water
is smaller, then the increase in temperature is more.
b)
During the day, the land is hotter than the surface of sea.
The air above the land is hotter.
It expands, rises and leaves behind a region of low pressure.
The cool air above the surface of the sea has a higher pressure.
It moves towards the land.
The wind blows from the sea to the land.
This phenomenon is called sea breeze.
c)(i)
Use a bigger fan.
A bigger fan can cause the air to move faster and the air pressure lowered.
The cold air outside the radiator can move in larger quality.
ii
Increases the number of fin blades.
The exposed surface area will be increased.
More heat can be lost more easily.
iii
Fin blade should be made of good heat radiator.
These types of fin blades can absorb and release the heat faster.
iv
Cooling liquid with high specific heat capacity must be used.
This type of cooling liquid has high boiling point and can absorb more heat.
v
The boiling point of cooling liquid must be high
This is to reduce the rate of vaporization.
10. a)
Electric current
b)(i)
The conductor in diagram 10.1 < 10.2
The reading of ammeter in diagram 10.1 > 10.2
The reading of voltmeter in diagram 10.1 = diagram 10.2
ii
The longer the conductor, the higher the resistance.
iii
The longer the conductor, the lower the reading of ammeter.
iv
The resistance of conductor is inversely proportional to the current flow.
c)
Current flows through a coil of conductor wire in the rheostat.

The length of wire through which by changing the position of the slider.
When the position of the slider is changed the resistance of the rheostat and the
total resistance in the circuit change.
As a result, the current in the circuit changed.
d)(i)
Increase the number of turns of the coil of the heating element.
This will increase the resistance of the heating element.
More heat energy is produced.
ii
The density of the material should be low
Therefore, the mass of kettle is lower, it is easier to be carried.
iii
The rate of oxidation of the heating element should be low.
The heating element is not oxidized easily and it can be used for longer time.
iv
Decrease the diameter of the wire of the coil.
Thinner wire has higher resistance and more heat can be produced.
v
Metals with low specific heat capacity and high resistivity must be used.
These metals can be heated up easily.

c)
Aspect
Low density material
Aerodynamic shape
Superconductor is chosen
8 short coaches is chosen

Reason
Train will be lighter and able to move
faster.
Effect of air resistance can be reduced.
Capable of conducting electricity without
any resistance.
Reduce the inertia impact if the train stops
suddenly.

L is the most suitable fast train which can move with highest speed. L has low density
material, aerodynamic shape, the base is made of superconductor and consists of 8 short
coaches.
d)(i) The car moves with a constant velocity when the engine thrust is equal to the drag.
ii The ca moves with an acceleration when the engine thrust is larger than the drag. In this
case, the car is travelling with an increasing speed.

Sound wave with frequency exceeding 20 000 Hz. / Sound wave is unable to be heard by
human ears.
ii
At detects the distance of obstacle by using ultrasonic sounds.
It detects the distance by listening to the echoes that reaches it.
The period of time between the sending and receiving of the ultrasonic wave is
noted.
The distance can be estimated.
Bats can detect ultrasonic sound of 75,000 Hz.

c)
Aspect
Location must be high

Distance between two loud speakers

should be large.
Use of soft board to cover the wall.
Microphone is put behind the speaker.

Reason
To prevent the reflection/ blocking of
sound wave by obstacle. This prevent
echoes produced when sounds are
reflected off certain obstacles.
To prevent the occurrence of the
interference of sound waves.
Soft board can absorb the sound wave and
prevent echoes formed.
To avoid noise or disturbance.

The most suitable sound system id Y. The location of loud speaker if high, the distance
between the two speakers is large, the soft board is used to cover the wall and the position
of the microphone is located behind the speaker.
