Q12-
Remember the equation: F=Change in momentum/time
Change in momentum:
0.5x12 = o.5x-8
Change is 10
10/0.1 = 100
So (D)

Q19-
P = F/A
F = P x A
F = 4000 x 500/100x100 [Convert cm^2 to m^2]

Wd = F x s
200 x 0.3 = 60

Ans is (A)

Q27-
Y = FxL/AxX
L and X are constant for both.
(Y) of X = 1/2 (Y) of Y
So F/x = F/2x [Don't include L and A because they are same for both.]
You see that the ratio is 1:2 so (B)

Q30-
Sorry no idea, don't have Sin O here.
Otherwise 1/300x10^-3 x Sin O = n x 690x10^-9

Q36-
P = I^2 x R
Max = 400
Min = 100
There are 5 max and 4 min, so
5 x 400 + 4 x 100 / 9
= 266.6

Comes close to (C) of 250


Good luck tomorrow. Please remember me in yours prayers.

Q4-

LHS = RHS
The units must be cancelled out so that nothing remains. First, you cancel out all the constants:
L x 1/P = Q x T^2 [We know L is m and T is s]
m x 1/P = Q x s^2 [To cancel the s^2, Q must have s^-2]
Now substitute the units given in options:
(B) m x m^-2 = m x s^-2 x s
Giving m = m

Q5-

Basically what they are asking is to first find the PERCENTAGE UNCERTAINTY. Eg, for A- 0.002/2.043 x 100% gives 0.097%.
Find out for other options. You will see that B- has 3.7% and D- has 3.85%. But it doesn't end here. (B) is d, and in the equation the d is multiplied by d again. So multiply the uncertainty giving you value greater than (D).

Q15-

Total AC moment = Total C moment.
The rings are of same mass.
7xm + Yxm = 5x2m [Subs m as 1 for simplicity]
7 + y = 10
y = 3
[8 from pivot minus 3 = 5.]
Ans is hence (C)


Good luck tomorrow. Remember me in yours prayers please.

Thnx a lot n same to u :)

#9: V^2=U^2 + 2 as
so original equation 0 = U^2 + 2ax
increase in initial velocity by 20% so 0 = (1.2U)^2 + 2ax = 1.44U^2 + 2ax
X is proportional to U so answer is C, 1.44x

#18 solved by Gain in potential energy of m1 minus loss in potential energy in m2. the change in energy is the work done by the motor.
so Ep=mgh and change in Ep = m1gh - m2gh = (m1-m2)gh.
question is asking for power (rate of change of work) so divide the work done by time. (m1-m2)gh/t = (m1-m2)gv ansewr is D

#24 since it is a progression wave, picture another wave less than or equal to π/2 infront of it (direction of wave). notice only B and D is moving up. and then the velocity is the gradient of the wave so greater gradient at B so answer it B.

#37
The Voltmeter is parallel to both resistors, not just one. so there is no change in pd so answer is A

Could someone please help me with may/June/12/2012 pleasee.
Mcq no 13,18 and 24.
Here's a link to the paper: http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Physics (9702)/9702_s12_qp_12.pdf
#13
F(net force) = ma
F(net) = 2x9.81(the weight) - 6(friction) = 13.62
total mass = 8+2 = 10
F=ma
A=F/M = 13.62/10 = 1.4 so answer is A

#18
efficiency = output power/input power
in this case its a generator so output power is P=VI = 230 x 32=7360
input power = E(potential) / time = Mgh/t = 200 x 8 x 9.81 = 15696
efficency = 7360/15696 x 100%=47% answer is D

#24
simply find the area inclosed by the graph and x = 0 to x= 7mm

Thankyou so much. On the last mcq however the answer I get is A whereas the mark scheme says B :/ and if someone could do 17 as well I'd really apprciate that. The answer to that is B

wierd, I just did calculation again and it is B.
You can always use the last resort by counting the squares. I counted 243 squares and each area of square is 5x10^-4 so I get 0.1215 J which is B

17 is a because only that body cannot stay in that position ie it will move down the slope.
No clue about 18 though
But which app is this ?

for no. 18
v2=u2-2gs
v2=28^2-2*9.81*22=19
so ans is B

Ok so I'm done with every single thing except this question which is literally haunting me :'( plzzz plzzzz plzzzz if some1 knows it answers it pleaseeeeee :) it's Q:30
ok first you find the wavelength λ which is 2x the distance between 2 antinodes X and Y. so
λ= 2x 33cm = 66cm = 0.66m
and then v=f λ so f= v/ λ=330/0.66=500
we know that period (T) = 1/f = 1/500 = 0.2ms for 1 oscillation
so answer is B

Question 6
This is the only problem i have out of the entire Question Paper someone please solve this :) thanks
The question states that "X is measured with a percentage uncertainty of ±1 % of its value at all temperatures." meaning that the percentage uncertainty is unchanged, so A and B is eliminated.
then you need to apply some logic here, will the actual uncertainty get bigger as you approach 100 or 0?.
you can quickly do some math here, 100x1% = ±1 uncertainty while 0x1% = 0
so answer is C, least actual uncertainty when temperature close to 0

Wow thank you so much :) i should've read the question more carefully. Didn't see that percentage uncertainty is the same!

Two springs P and Q both obey Hooke’s law. They have spring constants 2k and k respectively.
The springs are stretched, separately, by a force that is gradually increased from zero up to a
certain maximum value, the same for each spring. The work done in stretching spring P is WP,
and the work done in stretching spring Q is WQ.
How is WP related to WQ?
A WP =  0.25WQ B WP = 0.5 WQ C WP = 2WQ D WP = 4WQ

How can it B???? Common sense it should be C but why markscheme said B?@?@?

OH MY GODDD NEVERMIND :LOL:

first we need to find out the extension for both the springs
force is the same for both the springs that is equal to 'F'
force for P F=2k*x
x=F/2k
force for Q F=kx
x=F/k
Wp=1/2*k*x^2=1/2*2k*(F/2k)^2
Wq=1/2*k*x^2=1/2*k*(F/k)^2
Wp/Wq=1/2*2k*(F/2k)^2÷1/2*k*(F/k)^2
Wp=1/2Wq Ans
