higher than in diagram 5.2
(ii) Reading of bourdon gauge in diagram 5.2 is
higher than diagram 5.1

(iii) Temperature of trapped air in diagram 5.1 is

higher

(c)  The higher the volume of trapped air, the

higher the pressure
  The lower the pressure , the higher the
volume of trapped air
(d) Did not mentioned the movement of the
particle.

(e) Charles law One person

Gas law answer Pascal

Hook’s Law =(
6 (a) Rate of change of momentum

(b) The mattress reduce the time of impact . thus

force is reduce

(c)(i) Mass of athlete in diagram 6.1 is higher than

in diagram 6.2

(ii) Height of high jump bar in diagram 6.1 is

higher than diagram 6.2

(c)(iii) Final velocity of the athlete in diagram 6.1 is

higher than diagram 6.2

d) Wrongly relate since wrong (c) (iii)

 If the height of the high jump bar
increase, the final velocity will decrease.
(e) If the velocity decrease , the impulse will
increase.

7 (a) (i)  A region where experience electric charge

around the electrodes.
 A region around the charged object that
produces electric current.
 A region of magnetic field around it
 The region that has magnetic field.
 A region where electric current flow from
positive terminal to negative terminal.
7(a)(ii)
(b) Calculation
 Didnot convert minute into second
 Wrong unit for charge

(c) (i) Type of power supply:
 Ac power supply
 Use a high power supply
 Dc power supply

Reason :
 To provide high voltage
 Only one direction of current flow
(c) (ii) Type of electrodes
 Use lead
 Use copper

Reason :
Low resistance
(d) Because cooking oil is denser than dry grass
seeds.

 Rotate 3600 answer the
orientation of the
Reason : disc correctly but
 Can detect the air plane easier wrong for the
 Can detect the air plane faster reason.
 Wide area of signal
(c) (ii) Diameter disc: Most student
 Big answer the
diameter disc

(c) (iii)  high answer the
location of the
Reason : disc correctly but
 Shorter distance between the air wrong for the
plane and the radar reason.
