Q1(a)

Gravitational potential is defined as zero at infinity (beyond which, the effect of gravity has vanished).
Since gravity is always a pulling force, object in a gravitational field will always be attracted inwards.
Hence, work done by the gravity got out causing object to lose potential energy when it is pulled from infinity.
Therefore, gravitational potential is always negative.

Q1(b)(i)

Change in kinetic energy = change in potential energy
                                         = mass x change in potential
                                         = 180 x (14 -10) x 108
                                         = 7.2 x1010 J
increase, because potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy.

Q1(b)(ii)

To reach the other end, it will just need enough kinetic energy to get pass the point with the highest potential, i.e. 0.52 x 1012 m. In other words, it needs kinetic energy equivalent to the change in potential energy to reach this point. Beyond this point, gravity of star B will do the work. Change in kinetic energy = change in potential energy
                       = mass x change in potential
1/2 m v2= m x(10 - 4.4) x108
            v = 3.3 x 104

Q2(a)

Any of the two below:
- time of collisions negligible compared to time between collisions
- no intermolecular forces (except during collisions)
- random motion (of molecules)
- large numbers of molecules
- total volume of molecules negligible compared to volume of containing vessel

Q2(b)(i)

Helium-4 means one mole of helium-4 weight 4 grams
6.02 x 1023atoms = 4 grams
                  1atom = x grams
Ratio method will give x = (1 x 4) / 6.02 x 1023
                                         = 6.6 x 10-34 grams

Q2(b)(ii)

Mean KE of an ideal gas = 1/2 mc2= 3/2 kT
                        1/2 x 6.6 x 10-34= 3/2 x 1.38 x 10-23 x (27+273)
                                            r.m.s speed = 1.4 x 103

Q3(a)

Simple harmonic motion is an oscillatory motion with its acceleration directly proportional to the displacement from a fixed point, and is always opposite direction to the displacement.

Q3(b)

1. the graph is not a straight line
2. the graph has a different maximum displacement

Q3(c)

(i) ω = 2 π / T
        = 2 π / 0.8
        = 7.9 rad s-1
(ii) Look for maximum displacement in the graph, a = – ω2x = 7.9 2 × 1.5 × 10-2 = 0.94
(iii) Change in KE = ½ mω2(xi2 – xf2)
                               = ½ × 120 × 10-3 × 7.9× {(1.5 ×10-2)2 – (0.9 ×10-2)2}
                               = 5.3 ×10-4
Note:
The first three periods last at t = 2.4 s.
Within this time,determine the initial maximum kinetic energy and the final maximum kinetic energy.
The equation to find maximum kinetic energy is KEmax = 1/2 mv2max ,whereby v2 = ω2 (xo2 - x2),
Remember that maximum KE happens when x = 0, therefore vmax = ω2xo2

Substituting this into the earlier equation gives KEmax = 1/2 m ω2xo2
Identify the first max displacement and the last max displacement.
Substitute them as in the solution shown above.


Q4(a)(i)

Specific acoustic impedance of a medium is the product of density of the medium and speed of sound wave in the medium.

Q4(a)(ii)

a: ratio of reflected intensity and incident intensity, it is also known as the intensity reflection coefficient Z1 and Z2: specific acoustic impedances of media on each side of boundary where the wave travels through.

Q4(b)

Add on some labels to represent the different stages that the intensity changes, like those shown in red in the diagram below.
Form a mathematical solution:

I0 = I/ I0  x  I/ I1

Break down the situations:

I/ I, intensity changes due to absorption in the muscle
So,
 I1 / I0 = e-23 (0.034) = 0.457 1I

Intensity changes due to reflection at boundary
So 1I= 1 - 1I1  
                = 1 - (6.3 – 1.7)2 / (6.3 + 1.7)2                                    
                = 1 - 0.33
                = 0.67

Substitution: II0 = 0.457 x 0.67        
                                = 0.31

Q5(a)

(i) 1011
(ii) 6 = 0110  ;  8 = 1000  ;  14(round down) = 1110  ;  5 = 0101  ;  3 = 0011  ;  1 = 0001

Q5(b)



Q5(c)

1. increase sampling frequency so that step width is reduced
2. increase number of bits so that step height is reduced

Q6(a)



Electrical potential is constant inside a charged metal sphere, and is inversely proportional to distance after R.
The smooth curve passes through correct point at 0.5Vs for 2R and 0.33Vs at 3R



Electric field strength is zero inside a charged metal sphere, and is inversely proportional to square of distance after R.

The smooth curve passes through correct point at 0.25Es for 2R and 0.11Es at 3R

Q7(a)

When the potential is zero, charge stored should be zero.
When a graph is plotted, it is a straight line that does not pass through the origin. 


Q7(b)

Capacitance = Charge / Voltage
Form a straight line equation of the graph: Q = gradient x V + y-intercept
Therefore capacitance is the gradient of the graph = 2800 microfarad

Q7(c)

E = 1/2 CV2,
Difference in energy = E final - E initial                                
                                  = 1/2 C (V2 final - V2 initial)
                                  = 1/2 (2800) (9.02 - 6.0)
                                  = 6.3 x 10-2 
Note: Do not assume that V in the equation E=1/2 CV2 is the difference in the potential.

Q8(a)

Typical op-amp has very high gain, resulting in a saturated output in most cases. For the output not to be saturated, the inverting and non-inverting input must be equal. Diagram shows that the non-inverting input is earthed, therefore having 0 V. Hence, inverting input must be 0 V, and that is why point P is called virtual earth.

Q8(b)

Input resistance to op-amp is very high,  current through
                          R2 = current through R1
        VIN - VP / R2 = V- VOUT / R1
           VIN - 0 / R2 = 0 - VOUT / R1
                VIN / R2 = - VOUT / R1
           VOUT / VIN R1/ R2
                       Gain R1/ R2

Q8(c)


Note: Arrange the diode 1 such that it is forward biased when output is positive, and diode 2 such that the current is looped in a clockwise direction. Arrange the opposite when question asks for negative output.


Q9(a)

t = 0.10 mm (where the magnetic field passes through)

Q9(b)

VH = (0.13 × 3.8) / (6.0 × 1028 × 0.10 × 10–3 × 1.60 × 10–19)      
      = 5.1 × 10–7 V

Q10(a)

Alternating current generates a changing magnetic flux, that is cut by the copper core. Different magnitude of EMF are induced at different parts of the copper core, resulting in an Eddy current, I. Due to the resistance in copper, R, heat will be lost according to P = I2R. Therefore temperature rises. 

Q10(b)

Magnetic fields brought in by magnet B is cut by the aluminium tube inducing an emf ,and therefore, eddy current in the aluminium. This electrical energy is tranferred from the kinetic energy of magnet B, hence reducing its speed and causing to take longer time to fall. 

Q11(a)

Period = 15 ms, Frequency = 1/15m = 67 Hz

Q11(b)

Mean current = 0 A
Note: The shape of the sinusoidal wave is symetrical, therefore the average must be the equilibrium point of the wave, i.e. zero.

Q11(b)

R.M.S = Max current / surd 2 = 0.53A

Q11(c)

Energy dissipated = IRMS2R x t = 0.532 x 450 x 30m = 3.8 J

Q12(a)

In a solid, neighboring atoms are closer together. This changes and spreads the energy levels into a band.

Q12(b)

In a constant temperature, increase in light intensity will bring more photons to the electron on semiconductor. This will increase the number of electrons in valence band being excited, upon receiving energy from the photons, to the conduction band. They leave a same number of holes in the valence band. Both electrons and holes are the charge carriers, that increase the current, Hence reducing the resistance.  

Q13(a)

1. There are background radiation
2. Radiated particles from the sample escape through the space between the sample and the detector
3. The daughter nuclei emit particles too

Q13(b)

                  A = Ao exp ( –λt )
    1.21 × 102 = 3.62 × 104 exp( –λ× 42.0 )
                   λ = ln2 / T½
                T½ = 5.1 minutes

Q13(c)

They have discrete energy levels.
Note: Emission line spectra show narrow strips of colour that indicates photons of discrete energies are emitted from an atom. This also indicate discrete energy levels in the atom as the photons are emitted when excited electrons drop from higher energy levels.
