A spring balance operates by the compression of a spring. It has been calibrated on the Earth in grams.
A beam balance operates by balancing standard masses against the unknown mass to bemeasured.

Which pieces of apparatus are the most appropriate for an experiment to plot an extension–load graph of a spring?
A beam is pivoted at one end, as shown.
The beam weighs 6.0 N and its weight acts at a point X 40 cm from the pivot.
A force of 4.0 N is applied to the beam causing it to balance horizontally.
In which direction and where is the 4.0 N force applied?
The diagrams show the forces acting on four moving objects.
Which object is moving at a constant speed?

The diagram shows a convection current caused by a piece of ice placed in a beaker of water at room temperature.
Which row correctly compares the temperatures and densities at water points P and Q?
The outside of one of two identical shiny metal containers is painted dull black. The containers are filled with equal masses of hot water at the same temperature.
Why does the dull black container cool more quickly?
The diagram shows a wave.
Which row is correct?
A girl is sitting on a rock in the sea looking at passing waves. She notices that five complete wavelengths pass her in 20 s.
What is the frequency of this wave?
A card is placed in front of a plane mirror so that its label is facing the mirror, as shown.
How does the image of the label formed by the mirror appear to the observer?
An object is placed in front of a converging lens. The lens has a focal length f.
In which labelled position should the object be placed in order to produce a real image that is smaller than the object?
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is used by a remote controller for a television?
Which statement correctly compares radio waves and X-rays?
Point X is near to a bar magnet, as shown.
Which arrow indicates the direction of the magnetic field of the bar magnet at point X?
A student counts how many iron pins an electromagnet picks up when its power supply is switched on. Then, she counts how many pins are picked up when the power supply is switched off
She repeats the experiment using cores made of different materials. The results are shown.
Which core is made out of soft iron?
The diagram shows a charged plastic rod and an uncharged metal sphere. The metal sphere is suspended by an insulating thread.
The plastic rod is then moved close to the metal sphere.
