INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXAMINESS :

If you have been given an Answer Booklet, follow the instructions on the front cover of the
Booklet. Write your Centre number, candidate number and name on all the work you hand in.
Write in dark blue or black pen. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not
use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid.

Answer all the questions.

Given non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the
case of degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
Where a numerical value for the acceleration due to gravity is needed, use 10 m s . The use of
an electronic calculator is expected, where appropriate. You are reminded of the need for clear
presentation in your answers.

At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together.
The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question.
The total number of marks for this paper is .70
