= heat gained by ice = m lf = 20/1000 x (3.4 x 105) = 2.5 g

So mass of water in container = 20 + 100 + 2.5 = 122.5 g 2a. Thermocouple is very responsive to rapidly changing temperatures, as found in a chemical reaction. b(i) (ii) 273 K = 0 C = x 100 C so 280 K = 280 273 = 7 C

(i) image distance = 4.5 x 5 = 22.5 cm image size = 2.5 x 5 = 12.5 cm image distance 22.5 (ii) magnification = = = 1.25 object distance 18 c. The image would be magnified, upright and virtual. 5a. Ultrasound is sound with frequencies above the upper limit of the human range of audibility. b. t = s1 s2 v v 2(3000 d) + d 4= d 320 320 d = 2 360 m 6a. VA = IR = 0.6 x 2 = 1.2 V V I0.2 = R 1.2 = 0.2 =6A I = 0.6 + 6 = 6.6 A b. connect it in parallel c. (i) smaller (ii) larger 7a. RT = ( 1 -1 1 + ) + Rlamp R R1 2 1 -1 =( 1 + ) + 10 20 20 = 20 V = R T 10 = 20 = 0.5 A Hence IR = I = x 0.5 = 0.25 A OR RT = ( 1 1 -1 + ) R1 R2 1 -1 =( 1 + ) 20 20 = 10 V R 5 = 20 = 0.25 A OR 2 0.6 A 0.2 (0.22) x 0.6 A = 6 A hence I = 0.6 + 6 = 6.6 A

V is shared, so Vparallel = 10 2 = 5V I =

b. No change in brightness as the voltage and current remains the same.

V R 12 = 6 =2A V I12 = R 12 = 12 =1A So, current I = I 6 + I12 =2+1 = 3A b. V11 = IR = 3 x 11 = 33 V c. V10 = IR = ( x 3) x 10 = 15 V Hence, VAB = 33 + 12 + 15 = 60 V 8a. I 6 =

9a. Peak voltage = 5.0 V, so Y gain setting = 5.0 V/DIV 1 1 b. T = = 50 = 0.02 s = 20 ms f so 1 DIV = 0.02 2 = 0.01s = 10 ms hence, time-base is 10 ms/DIV c.

Section B 10a. The ray undergoes total internal reflection, as it is incident at P at an angle (49) larger than the critical angle, in a denser medium (rectangular block). b. 98 2 = 49 d. r = 90 49 = 41 sin i = sin r 80o sin 80 80o = sin 41 = 1.5 98o 1 c. = sin c material X P 1 1.5 = sin c c 42

11a. Liquid Z, as it has the highest specific heat capacity, which means it requires the least mass of liquid to cool every degree of hotness, which means a more compact cooling system and a lighter car mass. Liquid X has the lowest specific heat capacity, which requires the largest mass of liquid to cool the engine block, which means a larger, heavier cooling system. It also has a high rate of rusting which would corrode the metal easily and cause damage and incur higher replacement rate. Liquid Y boils at 50 C which would turn into a vapour easily during operation which is dangerous as it exerts a high pressure on the cooling system. b(i) Power = E t 9.0 x 107 = 1 x 60 x 60 = 2.5 x 104 W

(ii) Heat = 60% total energy 60 = x 9.0 x 107 100 = 5.4 x 107 J (iii) Q = mc 5.4 x 107 = 150 x c x (90 30) c = 6 x 103 J/kgC 12a. S: Light-dependent resistor T: Buzzer / bell U: Rheostat / variable resistor b. To vary the main voltage to obtain a desired output voltage. c(i) (ii) (iii) V= R I = (2 x 1000) x (0.5 x 10-3) =1V V= 3 1 =2V V R= I 2 = 0.5 x 10-3 = 4 000 V I = R 3 = (800 + 4 000) = 0.625 mA I = 0.625 0.5 = 0.125 mA
