EXPERIMENT 2.

1: SIMPLE PENDULUM

Figure 1 and Figure 2 show two positions of a boy on a swing. The angle of oscillation in both
diagrams is at the same angle from the iron pole. He noticed that the shorter swing moves faster
than the longer swing.

kedua-dua rajah adalah sama sudut daripada palang besi tersebut. Dia mendapati buaian yang pendek
bergerak lebih laju berbanding buaian panjang.)

 EXPERIMENT 2.2: VELOCITY VS HEIGHT OF THE SLIDE

Figures show two slides P and Q of different height in a playground.

of the same
mass are
sliding down from the top of slides P and Q . The boy at slide P found that he reaches the ground at a
higher speed than a boy at slide Q .

(b) State one suitable hypotesis. [ 1 mark ]

(c) With the use of apparatus as such as runway, trolleys and other apparatus, describe an
experiment framework to investigate the hypothesis stated in (b)

In your description, state slearly the following :

EXPERIMENT 2.4: MASS AND INERTIA

 Figure
A boxer tried to push a sandbag which was hanging stationary as shown in Figure (a).
He noticed that initially it was difficult to get the sandbag to start moving. He then tried
to stop the motion of the swinging sandbag as shown in Figure (b). He noticed that it
was more difficult to stop the sandbag than to move it.

Based on the observations;

a. State one suitable inference that can be made.

[1 mark]
b. State one appropriate hypothesis for an investigation.
[1 mark]
c. With the use of apparatus such as G-clamp, jigsaw blade and other
apparatus, describe an experimental framework to test your hypothesis.

In your description, state clearly the following:

(i) Aim of the experiment
(ii) Variables in the experiment
(iii) List of apparatus and materials
(iv) Arrangement of the apparatus
(v) The procedure of the experiment which include the method of controlling
the manipulated variable and the method of measuring the responding
variable

 EXPERIMENT 2.5: MASS VS ACCELERATION (F = ma)

Diagram 3.1 shows a car pulling a heavily packed trailer. The trailer is attached to the car
with a locking mechanism. The car’s engine is exerting a constant force that causes the car
and the trailer to accelerate together. Diagram 3.2 shows what happens when the locking
mechanism fails and the trailer is dislodged. The car lurches forward with an increased
acceleration on its own.

Suatu mekanisma kunci menghubungkan kereta dengan trailer. Enjin kereta mengenakan satu
daya yang tetap menyebabkan kereta dan trailer mengalami pecutan yang sama.]

 EXPERIMENT 2.7: HOOKE’S LAW

Diagram 4.1 shows a cradle with a new born baby. Diagram 4.2 shows another cradle with a 1
year old baby. Both cradle use identical cradle’s spring. We notice that, the cradle’s spring in
Diagram 4.2 is longer than Diagram 4.1.
