05.5 · 5 marks Thermistor Potential Divider The cooling system inside the vending machine turns on when the temperature of the thermistor is above 20 °C. Determine the... 06.2 · 6 marks Bungee Pod Maximum Height When the pod is released, the pod accelerates upwards. Before the pod is released the extension of each of the two bungee cords... 07.1 · 1 mark Parallax Error in Volume Measurement When measuring the volume, the student’s eye was in line with the level of the water. Which type of error would have been caused... 07.2 · 1 mark String Displacement Error The student tied a piece of thick string to the metal ring and lowered the ring into the water. Suggest one reason why the... 07.3 · 1 mark Measuring Cylinder Resolution The true volume of the ring was 0.44 cm³. Even without using the string, the measuring cylinder could not give an accurate value... 07.4 · 1 mark Correcting Balance Zero Error The student used a balance to measure the mass of the ring. After the ring was removed from the balance, the reading on the... 07.5 · 4 marks Ring Mass from Density The student determined that the density of the ring was 21 500 kg/m³. The volume of the ring was 0.44 cm³. Calculate the mass of... 09.1 · 3 marks Alpha Radiation Range in Air Explain how Figure 15 shows that Source A only emits alpha radiation. 09.3 · 1 mark Reducing Radiation Dose Suggest one safety precaution the teacher would have taken to reduce the radiation dose the teacher received. 09.4 · 1 mark Preventing Radioactive Contamination Suggest one safety precaution that the teacher would have taken to avoid becoming contaminated. 10.1 · 1 mark Live Wire Insulation Colour What colour is the insulation covering the live wire in a three-core cable? 10.3 · 4 marks Current from Charge Flow The fuse wire melts when there is a charge flow of 2.0 C for 400 ms. Calculate the current in the fuse wire. Use the Physics... 09.2 · 2 marks Distinguishing Beta and Gamma Figure 15 can not be used to determine if Source B emits beta radiation or gamma radiation. Explain how an absorbing material...

Energy
06.1 · 1 mark Stretched Cord Energy Store Which energy store increases as the bungee cords are stretched? 06.3 · 2 marks Energy Losses During Launch The actual maximum height reached by the pod will be lower than the correct answer to Question 06.2. Explain why. 08.2 · 1 mark Temperature and Particle Kinetic Energy How does an increase in temperature affect the air particles inside the piston? Tick one box. 08.3 · 4 marks Fire Piston Temperature Change When the air is hot enough, a small piece of cotton wool in the piston catches fire. The energy transferred to the air in the... 10.5 · 2 marks Energy Loss and Melting Time The calculation in Question 10.4 assumes there is no energy transferred to the surroundings. How would the time taken for the... 01.3 · 4 marks Comparing Energy Storage Methods Compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods of storing energy. Include calculations in your answer. 02.2 · 1 mark Work Done by a Force Write down the equation which links distance (s), force (F) and work done (W).
