What is the length of the train?
An object is moved from point X to point Y.
The acceleration of free fall at X is different from that at Y.
Which statement about the object at Y is correct?
A measuring cylinder contains 30 cm3 of a liquid.
Some more of the liquid is added until the liquid level reaches the 50 cm3
mark.
The reading on the balance increases by 30 g.
What is the density of the liquid?
A spaceship approaches and passes a planet.
What can the force of gravity between the spaceship and the planet achieve?
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?
What are the conditions for an object to be in equilibrium?
A tennis ball is dropped from position 1. It falls vertically onto a hard surface at position 2.
Which energy changes have taken place between position 1 and position 2?
A force works by moving an object in the direction of the force.
Which change in the force and distance always increases the work done?
The table shows the weights and base areas of four metal blocks.
Which block exerts the greatest pressure on its base?
The diagram shows a deep reservoir formed by a dam.
On what does the pressure at X depend?
A particular state of matter consists of molecules that move freely in random directions at high
speed. The average speed of the molecules is decreasing.
Which state of matter is being described?
Small pollen particles are suspended in water.
When viewed with a microscope, the pollen particles can be seen to be moving about irregularly.
What causes this movement?
The diagram shows a liquid-in-glass thermometer.
Which physical property of the thermometer is used to measure temperature?
An engineer investigates the increase in temperature of the oil in a car engine when it is first switched on.
Which row is correct?
A glass contains an iced drink on a warm and humid day. Water starts to form on the outside of the glass.
What is the name of the effect by which the water forms?
The diagram shows solar water panels on the roof of a house. The panels absorb energy from
the Sun to heat up the water in the metal pipes.
Four beakers containing equal volumes of water at 10 C are placed outside in full sunshine on a hot day.
The four beakers are identical except for their surface color and texture.
Which beaker will heat up the quickest?
The diagram shows a wave.
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 student uses one eye to look at images in a plane mirror
Objects are placed on the line XY.
Which objects give rise to images that can be seen by the eye at E?
An object is placed in front of a converging lens. The lens has a focal length of f.
In which labeled position should the object be placed in order to produce a real image that is smaller than the object?
Microwaves, green light, and infrared are three types of electromagnetic radiation.
What is their order when listed by wavelength from the shortest wavelength to the longest?
Which statement correctly compares radio waves and X-rays?
The three diagrams each show two magnets.
In which diagrams do the two magnets attract each other?
The diagram shows the magnetic fields around three objects, P, Q and R, placed close to each other
Which row shows the nature of each of the objects?
Iron filings are picked up by an electromagnet.
The current in the electromagnet is switched off and the filings fall on a plastic bench.
A plastic comb is rubbed with a woolen cloth and held just above the iron filings.
Some of the filings jump and stick to the comb.
Which statement correctly explains the last observation?
9 Four circuits are set up.
In which circuit does the meter measure the potential difference (p.d.) across the resistor?
A resistor has a potential difference (p.d.) of 12V across it and a current of 0.60A in it.
What is the resistance of the resistor?
Which circuit is correctly labeled?
The diagram shows an electric circuit.
IX is the current in resistor X. Iy is the current in resistor Y.
Which statement describes the current from the power supply?
The diagram shows a battery connected to a potential divider and to two lamps, P and Q.
The slider on the potential divider is moved from end X to end Y of the resistor.
Which row shows the effect on the brightness of each lamp?
Why is a fuse used in an electrical circuit?
Electrical power is transmitted from power stations to homes using the National Grid.
In which part of the National Grid is the voltage highest?
Which transformer can change a 240V a.c. input into a 15V a.c. output?
The coils in the two electric motors are identical in size, but motor 1 is observed to spin more quickly than motor 2.
Three suggestions are made to explain this observation.
1 The current in the coil of motor 1 is greater than the current in the coil of motor 2.
2 The number of turns on the coil of motor 1 is greater than on the coil of motor 2.
3 The magnets in motor 1 are stronger than the magnets in motor 2.
Which suggestions give a possible explanation for this observation?
