SAMPLE QUESTION
A Section B question looks typically like this
Figure 1(a)
Figure 1(b)
Figure 1(a) shows a small car stopping suddenly after moving at constant speed of 80 km hr when the driver sees
the landslide in front of him on the road.
Figure 1(b) shows a big truck that was moving at the same speed, but is not able to stop at a safe distance when the
driver sees the landslide.

SAMPLE ANSWER
(a) Inference: Mass affects its inertia
(b) Hypothesis: The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia
(c) (i) Aim of the experiment: To study the relationship between the mass of an object and its inertia
(ii) Variables:
Manipulated: Mass of plasticine
Responding: Inertia OR period of oscillation
Constant: Stiffness of jigsaw blade OR distance of plasticine ball to clamp
(iii) Apparatus/Materials: Jigsaw blade, G-clamp, stopwatch, and plasticine spheres of mass 20 g, 40 g, 60 g, 80
g, and 100 g
(v) Procedure:
1. The experiment is setup as shown above.
2. A 20.0 g plasticine sphere is fixed at the free end of the blade.
3. The free end of the blade is displaced horizontally and released so that it oscillates. The time for 10 complete
oscillations is measured using a stopwatch.
t
The period of oscillation is calculated using .T= 10
4. The experiment is repeated using plasticine spheres of masses 40.0 g, 60.0 g, 80.0 g, and 100.0 g.
