Question 1
Ans: C

Working:
Smartphones are around 150g. Cannot be 1500 g (1.5 kg) or 15 g.
Mass of 150g gives weight of 1.5 N.

1.5 N = 150 cN

Question 2
Ans: A

Working:
Use the equation F = BIL, and hence B = F/(IL),
Units:
T = N A−1 m−1 = (kg m s−2)(A−1 m−1) = kg A−1 s−2

Question 3

Weight acts downwards, while air resistance acts leftwards.
Resultant force is slanted in the direction of B.

Question 4
Ans: B

Working:
Use u1 – u2 = v2 – v1
v – 0 = 0.67v – Vx
Vx = 0.33v

Question 5
Ans: A

Working:
W is the force the Earth exerts on the brick.
By Newton’s 3rd law, the brick exerts an equal but opposite force on Earth.

S is the force the floor exerts on the brick.


By Newton’s 3rd law, the brick exerts an equal but opposite force on the floor.

Question 6
Ans: B

Working:
Let the volume of the ball be V.
Upthrust = 0.25 of the weight of the ball.
½V(1000)(9.81) = 0.25 (0.100)(9.81)
V = 0.000050 m3 = 50 cm3

= ½ (W1x1 – W0x0)

Question 8
Ans: A

Working:
Power against resistive force = Fv = (400)(20) = 8000 W
Power of fuel needed = 8000 / 0.16 = 50000 W

For 1 km, time taken = 1000/20 = 50 s


Fuel needed = (50000)(50) / (48 × 106) = 0.052 kg = 52 g

Question 9
Ans: A

Working:
ω = v/r = Be/m

From equation,
A/C: ω increases as B increases.
B/D: ω stays the same regardless of change of v.

Only answer A is logical.

Question 10
Ans: B

Working:
For 10 m, increase in GPE = (6.0)(2.0) = 12 J
Since g-field is uniform, change in GPE is proportional to distance.

For an increase of 2.5 m, increase in GPE = 12/4 = 3.0 J.

𝑚𝑣 2 = 4738415.094𝑚
2

v = 3078.45 m/s ≈ 3100 m/s

Question 12
Ans: C

Working:
Using PV = 1/3 Nm <c2>,
PV = 1/3 M <c2>, where M is Nm = total mass of gas
(1.0 × 105)(10 × 3.0 × 4.0) = (1/3)(5000 × 29/1000)(<c2>)
<c2> = 248275.86
Rms speed = 498 m/s ≈ 500 m/s

Question 13
Ans: D

Working:
Q = mc∆θ + ml
= (5.00)(4190)(100 – 30.0) + (5.00)(2260000)
= 12766500 J ≈ 1.28 × 107 J

Question 14
Ans: B

Working:
No heat transfer. No work done.
By 1st law of thermodynamics, there is no change in internal energy.

The potential and kinetic energy of the gas does not affect the internal energy.
It is the potential and kinetic energy of the molecules of the gas that affect it.

Question 15
Ans: C

Working:
1st concept: PE varies twice in once cycle in one cycle of SHM
2nd concept: PE is maximum at its amplitude.

Graph shows that the particle starts at rest from its amplitude at t = 0, and moves to a maximum
speed before reaching the other amplitude and is momentarily at rest.

Only graph C shows this.

Question 16
Ans: D

Working:
Wavelength = (3.0 × 108) / (5.0 × 1014) = 6.0 × 10−7
Phase difference = (1.5× 10−6) / (6.0 × 10−7) × 2π = 5π rad

Phase difference of 5π rad = Phase difference of π rad (5π − 2π − 2π)

Question 17
Ans: B

Working:
Let intensity of light emerging from X = I
Intensity emerging from Y = I cos2θ cos2(90o – θ)
Answer B shows this relationship. [Can be verified using GC.]

Question 18
Ans: D

Working:
Just resolved, hence angular separation = rayleigh’s angle
s/r=λ/b
s = r λ / b = (5.7 × 1016)(620 × 10−9) / (0.5) = 7.068 × 1010 m

Question 19
Ans: D

Working:
The direction of an electric field line is the direction of force on a small positive test charge.
[O level concept]

Question 20

Working:
𝑄1 𝑄2
𝑘 2 = 2.0
𝑟
Replace Q1 with Q3, which is 2Q1
2𝑄1 𝑄2 1 𝑄1 𝑄2 1
𝑘 (2𝑟) 2 = 2 (𝑘 𝑟 2 ) = 2
(2.0) = 1.0 N

Question 21
Ans: B

Working:
Given R = GL
4 wires assembled in parallel gives effective resistance of GL/4.

Question 22
Ans: A

Working:
Draw a horizontal line (for same current) and determine where it
will be such that the potential difference sums up to 3.0 V

This gives 0.10 A, where the p.d. across the resistor and thermistor
are 1.0 V and 2.0 V respectively.

Question 23
Ans: C

Working:
To glow more brightly, it is necessary for the pd across the light bulb to increase.
Using potential divider rule, either the resistance of the thermistor increases, or the resistance of
the LDR decreases, or both.

Resistance of thermistor increases as temperature decreases.


Resistance of LDR decreases as light intensity increases.

Question 24
Ans: A

Working:
By right hand grip rule, magnetic field due to I1 is into paper.
Using Fleming left hand rule, force is upwards.

Question 25
Ans: D

Working:
Fact.
Magnetic flux is the amount of magnetic field passing through an area perpendicularly.

Question 26
Ans: A

Working:
Emf = ∆(NBA)/∆t = NB ∆A/∆t
= (3000)(1.8)(π 0.012) / 0.060 = 28.3 V

Question 27
Ans: B

Working:
Choose the coordinates (1.88, 16)
Vs / Vp = (16 – 0) / (1.88 – 0) = 8.51064

Vp Ip = Vs Is
Is = Is / (Vs / Vp) = 0.32 / 8.51064 = 0.0376 A ≈ 38 mA

Question 28
Ans: B

Working:
Energy of 440 nm = hc/λ = 4.52045 × 10−19 J
Energy of 590 nm = hc/λ = 3.37119 × 10−19 J

n = 2 to n = 1 gives 4.52045 × 10−19 J

The other two transitions are


(i) n = 3 to n = 1
(ii) n = 3 to n = 2

Since the first transition is of a larger energy, hence


n = 3 to n = 2 gives 3.37119 × 10−19 J

n = 3 to n = 1 gives 3.37119 × 10−19 + 4.52045 × 10−19 = 7.89164 × 10−19 J


hc/λ = 7.89164 × 10−19 J
λ = 2.5204 × 10−7 m ≈ 252 nm

Question 29
Ans: D

Working:
According to particulate nature, each photon has the same energy hf.
So greater intensity, which means greater power per unit area, means that more photons are
arriving per unit time per unit area.

Question 30
Ans: B

Working:
Mass defect = 136.90709 u – 136.90583 u – 5.49 × 10−4 u = 0.000711 u

Energy released = mc2 = (0.000711)(1.66 × 10−27)(3.00 × 108)2


= 1.06 × 10−13 J
