1: C...basic stuff
2: D..also basic stuff
3: im to0 sry i couldnt do this one and i would appreciate if some 1 can help me with it
4: C...one wavelength is 4 squares..so 4 x 2.5 = 10...amplitude is about 3.5 so 3.5 x 5= about 17
5: A...V=IR...1.2V / 0.48A= 2.5
6: D...again basic stuff
7: C...v is the vector sum of u and x and v=u +at so X is at so C
8: A...s= ut + 0.5at^2...get the time when the distance is 40m ..then when the distance is 30 m...then T1 - T2 = 0.38s
9: B..basic stuff
10: D...F=( mv - mu)/t ...so substituting into the equation it is ( p1 - p2)/ ( t2 - t1)
11: B... (20000 x 20) - (900 x 30) = 373000Ns
12: B...1st get the final V by: m1u1 + m2u2 =(m1 + m2)v so (2 x 4) + (4 x 1)= 6V..V = 2 then he said it stuck together so 0.5 x m x v^2 so 0.5 x 6 x 2^2= 12J
13: B...torque of a couple is defined as the 1 force x perpendicular distance between the 2 forces..so geth the perpendicular force by drawing a straight line perpendicular to the force..then use adj/hyp = cos( theta) so adj= 0.6 sin (30) so 0.52...0.52 x 8 = 4.2
14: C...basic stuff
15: A...P=pgh...so 100000/ (13.6 x 10^3) x 9.81 = h... so h = 0.75m
16: C... A is wrong because liquids doesnt have a very big seperation..B is wrong because it describes a gas..D is wrong because liquid atoms are not in fixed positions
17: C...copper is not brittle..and when drawn to a wire it will not return to its original shape again so plastic only
18: B... the whole area under the graph is the strain energy...and the unhighlited part which is between the 2 drawn lines is the heat enerfy..so the shaded are is B
19: A...1/2 F X so 0.5 x 2 x (0.90 - 0.50)= 0.40J
20: B...X is in tension as it is opposing the weight of the horizontal bar and the foce W...Y is aso in tension as it is opposing W..Z is in compression as it is between a force from X and a force of Y and W
21: C...A & B are wrong because no longitudnal waves are polarises..D is wrong because sound is longitudnal not transverse so C
22: A...I is proportional to a^2..try ti solve tis example by giving the intensity I of y a magnitude of 3600 and the intensity of X a magnitude greater than y by 10^12 then find the amplitude for both..it will be A the answer
23: D...im weak inthis kind of a question but i know that at Q it is not always zero at and R it is not entirley kinetic and at p the speed is not at maximum..so D
24: D..you must memorize this
25: C...basic stuff
26: D...A is wrong because decreasing the distance between the slits and the screen will decrease the fring seperation, B is wrong because this will also decrease the seperation..C is wrong because this will affect the intensity not the seperation..so increasing the frequency decreases the wavelength so seperation increase so D
27: A..stationary wave is when 2 owaves travelling opposite to each other ( so B and C is wrong) then he said 2 nodes and antinodes so a have 2 points shown so 2 nodes and anti nodes
28: D..basic stuff
29: A...again basic stuff to ne known..electron is attracted to +ve plate
30: B...E= v/d...so 4v / 2d so 2E
31: D..just memorize ohm's law..and becareful it is not A because he said they are equal not proportional
32: A...Q=It...(8 x 10^-3) x 0.020 = 0.16 mC
33: C....V1= 5000/ (5000+5000) x 2 = 1V then V2= 3000/ (3000 + 2000) x 2 = 1.2 so V1 - V2 = -0.2 so C
34: A...V was 4...then light increases so R decreases so V decreases and the only number less than 4 in the answers is 3V so A
35: C...W= QV so V = W/Q and I = Q/t
36: C... V= IR, i= v / r...3/ 2 + 4= 0.5..then pd= 0.5 x 4=2 then I= E/ (R+r) sp P = RI^2 so P= (E/R+r)^2 x R so (3/ ( 4+ 2)^2 x 4 = 1 so C
37: C...R = pl/A he siad they have same length..and they are of the same material so same resistivity..then he said of same volume and volume = A x h so same area so same Resistance so C
38: A...basic stuff
39: D..again B particle is 0 nucleon number and -1 is the proton number so D
40: C .... divide the proton number by the nucleon numbre for each element lithium will give the smaleest number so c

In the first 1/3 of the graph, velocity is increasing hence the gradient should be increasing steeply.

cross multiply and you get n as 4.25 hence rounding it off to 4th order.

26- C
Since electric field direction is from higher p.d./charge to lower p.d./charge the electron will be attracted towards the more positively charged plate (or direction) hence to the left.

27-D
Direction of electric field is away from positive charge.

28-B
E = V*Q
E/Q = V

29-D

P = V^2/R
P = 12^2/Rx and P = 6^2/Ry
Rx = 144/P and Ry = 36/P

Rx/Ry = 144/P divided by 36/P
Rx/Ry = 144/36 = 4

30-D

V = IR
6 = I (10 +10)
0.3 A = I

Q = It
0.3 * 60 = 18 C

32-A

Basic concept of L.D.R.; when light intensity increases, resistance decreases hence voltage decreases too.

33-D
V in = R1/T.R. * V out
4.8 = 10/25 * V out
4.8* 25/10 = V out
12 = V out

34-D
Using the ratio method:
If 1.1 V - 0.7 m
? - 0.9 m
x = 0.9* 1.1/ .7
x = 1.4 V

35-A
The readings won't change because the set up is the same.

36- C
Charge is same since proton no. is same, but mass differs since no. of neutrons differs.

37- C
Basic concept.

38-C
The alpha scattering experiment proves the small size of a gold nucleus.

39-B
In a beta emission, the nucleon no. remains same but the proton no. increases by 1
For 2 beta emissions, proton no will increase by 2 hence 40 +2 = 42

40-A
Momentum = mv, greater m = greater momentum.
hence the particle with the greatest mass from all the choices is A, an alpha particle.
MashAllah this is great. Keep up the awesome work!

(I was about to start with this after about an hour or two, but it's good you did and posted it first. :p)
