  1. Question 1Forces ยท 8 marks

    Parachutes are used to slow down a certain racing car. Fig. 1.1 shows the racing car, of total mass 750 kg, slowing down by using parachutes. Fig. 1.1 Fig. 1.2 is the speed-time graph for 20 s after the car โ€ฆ

  2. Question 2Density ยท 8 marks

    A student wishes to determine the density of a small, irregularly shaped stone. (a) With the aid of a labelled diagram, describe an experiment to determine the volume of the stone. (b) (i) State the other quantity, apart from the โ€ฆ

  3. Question 3Forces ยท 7 marks

    A metre rule balances when the 50 cm mark is directly above a pivot. (a) State where in the rule its centre of mass is located. (b) Fig. 3.1 shows an apple and โ€ฆ

  4. Question 4Kinetic particle model of matter ยท 6 marks

    A teacher shows a class examples of three states of matter. These are a solid metal block resting on the bench, a liquid in a glass beaker and a gas in a clear balloon in the laboratory. Fig. 4.1a represents โ€ฆ

  5. Question 5Thermal properties & temperature ยท 6 marks

    During both boiling and evaporation, liquid water is converted into water vapour. The rate at which the mass of boiling water decreases depends only on the rate at which the water is gaining thermal energy. (a) The specific latent heat โ€ฆ
