1(a) (i) mass / volume
(ii) kg m-3

p / has unit of ms-1.

(b) v has unit of ms-1, p/ has unit of kg m-1 s-2,

LHS = RHS so has no unit.
2.

(a) 1.6 0.2 cm

(b) 1.6 / 50 = 0.032
(c) add fractional uncertainties (0.2 / 1.6) + (0.1 / 50) = 0.127 OR 12.7%
actual uncertainty = 0.004 (1 s.f.)

3(a) v2 = u2 + 2as. 4.02 = 2 x 9.81 x s OR s =

1
x 4.0 x 0.4 . s = 0.82 m

(b) p = m(v u). Speeds are 4.2 ms-1 and 3.6 ms-1. p = 0.045 (4.2 + 3.6) = 0.35 Ns
(c) any time between 0.14 s and 0.17 s. force = p / t = 0.35 / 0.14 = 2.5 N.

4.(a) force x distance moved in the direction of the force

(b) weight / force = mg. Ep = mg x h
5 (a) displacement & direction of energy travel normal to one another.
(b)(i) phase angale of 60o, lags behind T1
(ii) waves must be in same place at the same time, resultant displacement = sum of individual
displacements.

3. Zero

6. (a) (i) arrow in upward direction, foot near P.

(ii) parabolic path upwards between plates, then staright (with no kink at change-over)
(b) E = V / d = 400 / (0.8 x 10-2) = 5.0 x 104 V m-1
(c) (i) f = qE = 1.60 x 10-19 x 5.0 x 104 = 8.0 x 10-15 N.
(ii) a = F / m = (8.0 x 10-15) / (9.1 x 10-31) = 8.8 x 1015 ms-2
(d) because FE is normal to horizontal motion. No effect.
7. (a) (i) e.m.f. = energy / charge = (1.6 x 105) / (1.8 x 104) = 8.9 V
(ii) current = Q / t = (1.80 x 104) / (1.3 x 105) = 0.14 A
(b) (i) energy R ( or formula). Energy = (15 / 45) x 1.14 x 105 = 3.7 x 104 J
(ii) energy dissipated in internal resistance of battery
8. (a) nucleon number = 220. Proton number = 87
216

(b) products as 2 He and 85 At
9 (a) (i) stress = F / A = 25 / (1.7 x 10-6) = 1.47 x 107 Pa
(ii) stress = E x strain. 1.47 x 107 = 7.1 x 1010 x (/ 1.8). l = 0.37 mm
(b) R = l / A. R / R = l / l
R = (3.7 x 10-4/ 1.8 ) x 0.03 = 6.2 x 10-6
