Questions in 9702/23 May/June 2019

  1. Question 1Electricity ยท 6 marks

    (a) (i) Define resistance. (ii) A potential difference of 0.60 V is applied across a resistor of resistance 4.0 Gฮฉ. Calculate the current, in pA, in the resistor. current = pA (b) The energy E transferred when charge Q moves โ€ฆ

  2. Question 2Work, energy and power ยท 11 marks

    (a) A resultant force F moves an object of mass m through distance s in a straight line. The force gives the object an acceleration a so that its speed changes from initial speed u to final speed v. (i) โ€ฆ

  3. Question 3Deformation of solids ยท 7 marks

    A cylindrical disc of mass 0.24 kg has a circular cross-sectional area A, as shown in Fig. 3.1. cross-sectional area A disc, mass 0.24 kg ground disc force โ€ฆ

  4. Question 4Kinematics ยท 13 marks

    Two vertical metal plates in a vacuum are separated by a distance of 0.12 m. Fig. 4.1 shows a side view of this arrangement. โ€ฆ

  5. Question 5Waves ยท 9 marks

    A vertical tube of length 0.60 m is open at both ends, as shown in Fig. โ€ฆ
