Section B:

1 (a) (i)6 (cm) [B1]

5 (cm) [B1]
(ii) 6 x 5 x 2 [C1]
60 (cm3 ) [A1]

(b) (i) m=53 g [B1]

(ii) Density = mass/volume (any form,letter/symbol) [B1]
2.65 OR 2650 (g/cm3 OR kg/m3 unit must be appropriate) [A1]

(c) Displacement method (accept relevant diagrams) [B1]

Use of appropriate lab tools to get mass and volume [B1]
Calculation; density=mass/volume [B1]

2 (a) Distance =area under the graph [C1]

44+33+9.75+122.5 [C1]
209.25 OR 209 OR 210 (m) [A1]

(b) Acceleration= velocity/time(any form,letter/symbol)accept speed [C1]

a = (7 - 4.4) / (17.5 - 10) [C1]
0.35 m/s2 [A1]

(c) C [B1]
(cyclist is) accelerating [B1]
Forward force must be greater than backward force
OR
there is a resultant (forward) force [B1]
20-21/FYE/S3E/PHYSICS/MS
 (d) Pressure= F/ A [C1]
Conversion from cm2 to m2 [C1]
120/ 0.0016 [C1]
75000(Pascal) [C1]

3 (a) force x distance (from pivot) OR 300 x 2.4 [C1]

(c) no resultant force [B1]
No resultant moments [B1]
450 (N) [A1]

4 (a) snow tractor [B1]

Pressure = F/A [B1]
Any from
Tractors have larger area (in contact with the ground OR reverse argument
Pressure (on ground) mentioned
OR weight spread out (over large surface area)
NOT spread out pressure
Correct argument linking pressre and area [B1]

(b) (i) any value > 0 but < 24

(ii) any two from:
Molecules are slow/less KE
Fewer impacts
Less force per unit area [B2]

5 (a) ray passes through the first surface without changing direction [B1]
ray reflecting NOT refracting [B1]
ray reflected through at 900 at either surface [B1]
emerging ray parallel to the incident ray [B1]

(b) (i) X-rays IGNORE answer on boxes [B1]

(ii) any two from:
sensor detect warm things/heat/change in temperature
person is warmer/ at different temperature (with surroundings)
person emits (more) IR than surroundings [B2]
(iii) any two from:
Same speed in vacuum ACCEPT air
Transverse waves
Travel without medium IGNORE electromagnetc [B2]
