a) i) What type of renewable resource does this power station use? (1)
2. a) A copper can, painted black, contains boiling water at 100 °C. The can is left to cool and a measurement of the
water temperature is taken every 5 minutes. Figure 3 shows the measurements
(i) Two points, shaded in the table, have not been plotted. Plot these two points on the graph, in Figure 4 (2)

ii) One of the points on the graph in Figure 4 is anomalous. Circle the anomalous point. (1)
iii) Draw the best fit curve on the graph in Figure 4 (1)
She descends through a vertical height of 200m. The skier’s mass is 65kg.
(i) Calculate the change in gravitational potential energy. Use the equation ΔGPE = m × g × Δh Take the
gravitational field strength, g, as 10N/ kg (2)
(ii) At the bottom of the slope her speed was 36 m/s. Calculate her kinetic energy at the bottom of the slope.
Use the equation KE = 1 / 2 × m × v2 (3)
(iii) Describe how her speed at the bottom of the slope could be determined. (3)
4. a) Figure 9 shows the renewable energy sources used in the UK in 2015. Figure 9 is to scale.

(i) State the energy source that gave the greatest amount of renewable energy for the UK in 2015. (1)
(ii) Justify your choice of energy source in part (1)
(iii) State which of these energy sources gave about 20% of the energy from renewable sources for the UK in
2015. (1)

Explain how unwanted energy transfers could be reduced in the gear box. (2)
(a) The total pressure at the bottom of the can is 110kPa. Atmospheric pressure is 101kPa. Calculate the
pressure difference due to the oil. (1)
(b) State the formula linking pressure difference, height, density and gravitational field strength. (1)
(c) Calculate the height of the oil in the can. [density of oil = 960kg/m3 ] (3)

6. A truck experiences a braking force of 46000N.
(i) State the formula linking work done, force and distance moved. (1)
(ii) The truck has 590000J of energy in its kinetic energy (KE) store before the driver applies the brakes.
The braking force does work on the truck to reduce the KE store of the truck to 0J.
The braking distance is defined as the distance required for the KE store of the truck to reduce to 0J when the
brakes are applied. Calculate the braking distance of the truck. (3)
(b) The table shows the scientist’s results for rocks made from different materials
(i) State the formula linking density, mass and volume (1)
(ii) Rock X has a mass of 32g and a volume of 12cm3.Calculate the density of rock X. Give your answer to 2
significant figures. (3)
(iii) ) Rock X is made from the same material as one of the samples in the table. Explain which material rock X is
made from. (2)
The rubber sheet is pulled downwards so that the air inside the glass jar occupies a larger volume.
Page | 5
The temperature of the air does not change.
(a) Explain, in terms of particles, why the pressure of the air inside the glass jar decreases. (3)
(b) Before the rubber sheet is pulled down, the air inside the jar is at atmospheric pressure.
The volume of gas inside the jar increases from 110 cm3 to 140 cm3.
Calculate the pressure inside the jar after the rubber sheet is pulled down.
[Atmospheric pressure = 101kPa] (3)
c) The jar is sealed, but the balloons are open to the atmosphere.
Before the rubber sheet is pulled down, the air inside the balloons is at atmospheric pressure.
Explain why the balloons start to expand when the rubber sheet is pulled down. (3)
(c) Dewar invented a special flask for storing liquid oxygen in the laboratory.
It was designed to reduce heat flow from the air outside to the liquid oxygen inside.
The flask had two glass walls with a vacuum between them.
The inside glass surfaces were each covered with a thin layer of shiny metal.
The diagram shows a cross section of the flask.
(i) Explain how the shiny surfaces reduce the thermal energy transferred to theliquid oxygen from the
laboratory. (2)
