Diagram 1 shows water waves moving from deeper to shallower water along a sandy beach

Diagram 1 What is the main reason that causes the wavelength to be reduced? A The speed of the water waves increases B The speed of the water waves decreases C Both the speed and the frequency of the water waves are increased D Both the speed and the frequency of the water waves are decreased 1 B (The speed of the water waves decreases)

(Remember, wavelength reduces when water waves travel from one area to another area of different depths. In shallow waters, water waves travel slower and increases in speed in deeper waters.Lastly, make sure you understand that the frequency of the waves that is equal to the frequency of the motor remains unchanged.

copper coil soft-iron cylinder

battery

Steel paper clips

A By using a steel cylinder B By increasing the number of turns C By reducing the current in the coil D By using a copper wire of smaller diameter 2 B The strength of the magnetic field increases only when; The magnitude of current is increased. The number of turns is increased. The turns of wire are winded closer together so that the solenoid becomes shorter. A soft iron core inserted into the solenoid.

Diagram 3 shows an object placed 20 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length, f, 11 cm.

Diagram 3 What are the characteristics of the image formed? A Real, same size, inverted B Real, diminished, inverted C Virtual, same size, upright D Virtual, diminished, upright 3 A

The answer can be easily found by doing a quick sketch such as the diagram below. Draw line 1 to the middle of the lens Then pull it down to the focal point Draw line 2 as shown and intersect with line 1, the image is drawn.

f=11 1 2

Imag

FRONT OF LENS Image is Virtual and Upright

BACK OF LENS Image is Real and Inverted

The graph shows a part of a car journey along a highway.

Diagram 4 What is the distance travelled by the car in the first 20 seconds?

12.5 + 50 + 30 = 92.5m

x (5+7) x5

The displacement is measured by the area under the graph.

The diagram shows a hydraulic system.

Diagram 5 Which of the following relationships between F1, F2, A1, and A2 is correct? A F1 X F2 = A1 X A B X = F2 X A2

C F1 X A2 = F2 X A1 D F1 = A1 < A2

A small force on the small piston exerts a large force on the large piston. However the pressure inside the cylinder is the same. Using the formula F1/A1=F2/A2 we can also write it as F1 X A2 = F2 X A1

PAPER 2 SECTION A Paper 2 Section A 1 Diagram 1 shows a moving iron ammeter

Diagram 1 a i Explain why the pointer of the ammeter is deflected when a steady current, I flows through the coil of the ammeter? When a current I flows through the coil, P becomes an electromagnet. Soft-iron Q is attracted towards P and the pointer is deflected.

ii

State the function of the hair spring.

The hair spring stops the deflection of the pointer, and also returns the pointer to the zero position when the current is switched off.

iii Explain why the direction of the defection of the pointer is unchanged when the direction of the current, I, is reversed. When the direction of current I is reversed, the soft iron will still be magnetized, although with poles reversed Q is still attracted towards P.

b State and explain what is observed when the steady current, I, is replaced by an alternating current of frequency 50 Hz. The pointer is still deflected in the same direction. A.C. current will cause soft iron P to become an electromagnet with alternating poles Q is attracted towards P and the pointer is deflected.

c Based on your answers in part (a) and (b), state whether the moving-iron meter can be used to measure the following currents. Tick () if correct.

Type of current Direct current Alternating current

Can

Cannot

Can measure direct current and alternating current.
