H1_07_P1

Some commonly asked questions are:

4. Steepest gradient is highest speed .
5. The cyclist down the slope has weight component , hence acc downwards giving positive gradient. Along the horizontal road, friction is opp to his motion , hence acc is negative giving negative gradient.

11 The only vector triangle that has the 3 arrows forming a closed triangle and flowing in the same direction is A and D . D does not show W to be vertical ,hence A.
18. Particle B is at zero displacement. The particle to the right is displaced(-) towards B. The particle to the left is displaced(+) towards B also. Hence B is jammed in between the neighbouring particles. Hence it is compressed,
19. Summation of P and Q at time zero is Y. Shift P and Q a little towards each other , the resultant is Z . Hence the sequence is YZYX YZYX ....

25. Positive voltage shows presence of diode in forward biased. Negative voltage shows presence of ohmic device. Hence parallel connection of diode and resistor.

H2_09_lesson2

Section B
5ai) force per unit nass
ii)The def is force per unit mass , so F/m = GMm/R2 divide by m gives g = GM/R2.
b) The density = 2.52 x 107 kgm-3
bii) The density is greater in the centre as the outer layers compresses the inner layers.
ci) g = 1.2 x 1012 Nkg-1 cii) acc = 1.59 x 107 ms-2
iii) comparing this values , a is less than g , the normal force is greater than 0 , particle will not leave.
d) The accelerating protons has ke and when it approaches the star and undergo decceleration and emit x rays. The decrease in KE is converted to Xray photon.

6. The gradient of the graph is not constant hence the net force not constant . Since Weight is constant , the air resistance veries with speed.
b) gradient of the graph at velocity = 0 gives the magnitude of free fall as no drag force act at v = 0.
c) count the area under the graph. height = 19.2 m
cii) Energy lost = KEi - mgh)/KEi = 0.4
d) i) acc of the ball is gradient of the graph at v = 10 ms-1.
ii) Fd = ma - mg
Fd = 0.35(13-9.81) = 1.12N
e) The area below the x axis is the same above the x axis. Height of rise and fall is the same. Since the gradient will be less slopping, the area is found to extend for a longer time. Gradient of graph decrease when the object is moving downwards.

7.b) Charge = It = 72C
ii) E = 108 J iii) E = 104 J iv) R= 6 ohm
ci) new R = 6.8 ohm by taking the emf to be 3V and internal resistance = 0.5 ohm cii) The current increase leads to higher temp, hence resistance increase.
d The resistance of thrmistor and fixed resistor is too large compared to the internal resistance.
ii)1. p.d = (3/4000 + 2000) 4000= 2.0 V
2 pd = 3/2000 + 1800)x 1800 = 1.4 V
iii) for the p.d to be 1.2 V , R = 2700ohm
The same 2700 ohm will give a pd = 1.8 V and not 2.4 V as desired.hence no fixed resistor can acheived the desired range of 1.2 V to 2.4 V .Note that part iii) the pd is across the fixed resistor but part ii) the pd is across the thermistor.

3. p= 2.8 x10-14 Ns, b) V = 26.1 V

4a) The number of nuclei is incorrect as the radioactive nuclei is reducing in number . The number of nuclei does not reduce as daughter nuclei is the product of the decay. Hence the nuclei number is the same.

b) Use decay constant = A/N , where N = m /60u. The unit of m must be changed to kg.

d) Resistance on ammeter and internal resistance is taken to be negligible.
e) The lamp must have smaller cross sectional area than the cooker as the resistance is much higher. The lamp resistance is 14 X higher than the cooker , so the cross sectional area must be 14 times smaller . Using a longer length of wire may not fit the lamp . So the length should not be increased but change the wire to a thinner one. Use R=pL/A.

c) The reduction in intensity does not change the photon energy and therefore the ke of the electron remain the same. The rate of photon will decrease and hence will decrease the photocurrent and not the KE max.
d) The transition from level 2 to level 1 will give the same energy as the 122 nm uv radiation.

Check your answers and any queries will be answered next week during tutorial

Questions with difficulty:
4. Starting from rest hence x= 0.5 at2. After next interval means that the time is 2t. The value of x' = 4at2 which is 4x. During this second time interval the distance travelled is 4x-x= 3x.

9. The work done by the force F= elastic potential energy + heat energy. Hence it is not elastic potential energy unless no heat is produced.

12 . Power = Fv , P = kv3.
Writing ration of the two cases P2 can be found.

12. Work done by the external pressure = p ext(change in V). Work done by the gas = Net work done = (change in pressure)xchange in vol.

17. L = n1(24) = n2 (30) . Hence the n1=5 and n2 = 4. Length = 120 m

24. The broken lamp has 240 V reading and the unbroken one has 0 reading. use the rule that pd = IR. If I = 0 , pd = 0 eventhough the lamp is not broken.

Paper3_Prelim2010YJC

1.a) resultant of all the weights acting on the car by the Earth
resultant of the normal and the fricitonal forces.
b) Zx = 11600 N,Zy = 11772 N Z = 16.5 kN

Angle = 45.4


2. Use work done = force x distance moved where force = mg if the mass move at constant speed. Hence work done is change in PE = mgh
ii) AT larger distances away from the Earth mgh can be used provided the g is the value at that location and the distance moved is kept small.

b) The total heat = mL + mc@ = 774 J WHERE @ = 68 deg. and L is latent heat of evaporation.
c) The work done against atm is large as the intermolecular distances is larger from gas to liq . as compared to solid to liq.

3. Do not omit free body diagram. R+mg=mv2/r
where R=0 , v = sq root of rg
vmin = 13.3 ms-1 and entry speed = 29.8 ms-1 and R-mg = mv2/r where R = mg +mv2/r
= 14.8kN.
Take note that the final ke +mgh + Wfriciton= initial KE
b) The magnitude of force at the bottom is greater than the weight as the resultant force is towards the centre.

4. when the freq is below the threshold freq, no photoelectrons are emitted no matter how high the intensity.
Reason : Photon energy is insufficent to overcome work function and hence no emission .Increasing the intensity only increases the number of photons per sec but the photon energy remains the same. hence particulate nature of light.

The uncertainty in time is longer and hence the uncertainty in E is decreased. Hence the energy level is defined.
e) At higher energy the barrier width shorter hence transmission coefficient greater giving shorter average waiting time before tunnelling therefore shorter half-life

5. As temp increases the number charge carrier increases in SC and hence better conductivity. The resistance wire has free electrons whose path are obstructed by lattice vibration and hence greater resistivity.
b) The energy band gap is small and hence electron overcome band gap easily and moved across to Conduction band. The hole left behind at the valence band and electron in conduction band contribute to conduction of charges.

c) The electron diffuse across to the p region creating immobile ions and free of mobile charge carrier.
d) forward biased circuit diagram

N06/II/4 cont

The graph is used to read off the temperature at 1500 ohm.
c) Potential at A is 3V . Potential at B is also 3V when the voltmeter read zero. That means the resistance of thermistor is equal to 1200 ohm. Hence read off from graph its temperature.
ii) If the voltmeter reads 1.2 V , the potential at B could be 1.2 higher or lower than A. Hence the resistance of thermistor is either greater than 1200 ohm or less than 1200 ohm . Hence two different temperature.

2. To calc the lower temperature, by looking at the graph it must be having a greater resistance. Hence greater than 1200 ohm.
The working is done mathematically now,
current through thermistor = current through 1200ohm (belowB) No current from voltmeter.
1.2V higher than 3V must be 4.2 V across the thermistor.
6V - 4.2 V = 1.8 V across the 1200 ohm
the equation of same current :
4.2 / Rt = 1.8/1200
Rt= 2800 ohm
Read off graph temp = 282K
The principle of this is potential divider . The current is the same down one line , so p.d is proportional to resistance
