  3. Question 3Work, energy and power · 13 marks

    For Examiner’s Use 3 A cyclist is moving up a slope that has a constant gradient. The cyclist takes 8.0 s to climb the slope. The variation with time t of the speed v of the cyclist is shown in …

  4. Question 4Forces, density and pressure · 8 marks

    For Examiner’s Use 4 (a) State the evidence for the assumption that (i) there are significant forces of attraction between molecules in the solid state, (ii) the forces of attraction between molecules in a gas are negligible. (b) Explain, on …

  5. Question 5Waves · 7 marks

    For Examiner’s Use 5 (a) A source of sound has frequency f. Sound of wavelength λ is produced by the source. (i) State 1. what is meant by the frequency of the source, 2. the distance moved, in terms of …
