1. (a) Hybrid cars produce less pollution.

[1A]
[1]
(b) Using ultra lightweight material to reduce the mass of the
hybrid car. [1A]

can be raised. [1A]
[3]

to heat and sound. [1A]

6. Connect the two crocodile clips across one nichrome wire. [1A]
Record the ammeter reading. [1A]
Repeat the experiment above two procedures using another
nichrome wire with different thickness of the same length. [1A]
The resistance is smaller if the ammeter reading is larger. [1A]
