C Displacement = area under the graph. When v increases at a constant rate, grapah of displacement with time is a parabola. When v is constant, graph of displacement with time is a straight line with positive gradient. When v decreases at a constant rate, graph of displacement with time is a inverse parabola. 9. D The shaded areas under the graph represent the distances travelled. 10. D Use F = ma to find acceleration. F = (3m + m) a. a = F / 4m. Now consider only block Y: Use F = ma.

(b) (i) 1. circumference = 3 cm, or arc = r Extension = (6.5 /360) x 3 = 0.17 cm 2. strain = extension / length = 0.17 / 250 = 6.8 x 10-4 (ii) stress = force / area = (6.0 x 9.81) / (7.9 x 10-7) = 7.44 x 107 Pa (iii) Young modulus = stress / strain = (7.44 x 107) / (6.8 x 10-4) = 1.2 x 1011 Pa (iv) remove extra load and see if pointer returns to original position or wire returns to original length. 4. (a) 1. Both waves are transverse / longitudinal / same type, 2. Both waves meet at a point, 3. both waves are unpolarised or both polarised in the same direction (b) (i) 1. Give any value between 0.3 mm and 2 mm 2. = ax / D (ii) 1. x = D / a. As D is doubled, x is doubled. Separation increased 2 times, fringes are less bright 2. x = D / a . As increases 1.5 times, x is increased 1.5 times. Separation increased 1.5 times. Fringes are less bright, since the energy is distributed over a wider area, and hence the intensity is less. 3. separation unchanged, fringes are brighter. 5. (a) (i) resistance = V / I = 6.0 / (40 x 10-3) = 150 (ii) At 8.0 V, resistance = 8.0 / (50 x 10-3) = 160 . Change in resistance = 10 (b) (i) When the lamp is supplied with a normal operating p.d. of 6.0 V, from the graph, I = 40 mA. Current in both the resistor and the lamp = 40 mA. Potential difference across the resistor, VR = IR = (40 x 10-3) x 200 = 8.0 V. Since Ohms law is obeyed, the graph is a straight line passing through the origin and it also passes through the point I = 40 mA, V = 8.0 V (ii) E.m.f. = total p.d. across all the resistances = 8.0 + 6.0 = 14.0 V 6.
