Question 1 a)
i. Fahrenheit and Celsius are the two scales that are used for measuring temperature.
While the unit of measure for heat is either joules or calories.
ii. Temperature is not a kind of energy; nevertheless, heat is a form of energy that is
connected to kinetic energy. Temperature is a measure of heat.
iii. The temperature of a substance is a measurement of both its hotness and its coolness.
On the other hand, heat cannot be confined within a substance.
Question 1 b)
The energy lost by the steam (used for heating the milk and the cup)
Qmilk + Qcup
mmilk × cmilk × ΔTmilk + mcup × ccup × ΔTcup = msteam ×Lvaporization +msteam ×csteam ×ΔTsteam
220 × 1 × 20 × 100 × 0.2 × 20 = m steam × 540 + msteam × 0.48 × (140 – initial temperature of
steam)
= 7.947 kg
Question 1 c)
W=m×g
W = 400 N
Mass of gold = w / g
= 400 / 9.8
= 40.82 kg
a3 = 0.002
a = 3 √ 0.002
= 0.128m
Question 3 a)
The phenomena showed in the figure is the diffraction phenomena. This phenomenon, this is
a change in direction of the waves as they pass through and opening or around a barrier in
their path. When the ‘a’ is smaller than the wavelength, the diffraction rate will be higher.
Whereas, if the ‘a’ bigger the diffraction will be smaller. The diffraction rate can we
determined through the bent of the wave in the ripple tank. When the wave is highly bent,
that indicated higher diffraction.
Question 3 b)
Amplitude = 2/2
= 1m
= 4 m/s
The wave's speed may be determined independently of its amplitude, which in this case is 1
meter. However, the speed of a wave is defined purely by the distance it travels in a given
amount of time, and not by the amplitude, which reflects the greatest displacement of
particles from their equilibrium position as the wave passes through.
Question 3 c)
The formula
Frequency is 460Hz
20cm x 460
= 9200 cm/s
= 9.2 m/s
L= v
L = v / 4f
= 9.2 / (4 x 460)
= 10 cm
PART B
Question 1 a)
P = p x v2
= kg/ m s2
Question 1 b.i)
From 0s to 5s the velocity is increasing. The acceleration is constant as the gradient along 0s
to 5s. Further, after the 5s to 10s, velocity is decreasing. The acceleration is constant but it
has negative value. Thus, that is decelerating. From 10s to 15s, the velocity is constant. The
acceleration is zero as the gradient along 10s to 15s is zero.
Question 1 b.ii)
= (4-0)/5
=0.8 m/s
5 to 10 seconds
= -1.6
= -0.8
Question 1 b iii)
Question 1 c)
Direction θ
Question 2 a.i)
Formula
PEA = m x g x h
calculation:
= 0.4905J at point B.
Question 2 a.ii)
H = 1 – Cos θ
= 1 – 1 x 30 degree
= 0.13 m
Question 2 a.iii)
What Albert thinks is not true. Assuming air resistance and other variables are negligible, the
greatest height the bob will gain above point B is independent of the bob's mass and the
length of the string. Depending on the pendulum's height and the acceleration caused by
gravity, the maximum height is established by the initial potential energy at point A.
Question 2 b)
The total work done is 200 J and the speed of the object after 20 m can be found using
