HELP NEEDED GUYS....!!!! AS LEVEL PHYSICS

http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Physics (9702)/9702_s06_qp_1.pdf
CONFUSED IN QUESTIONS (37) PLEASE TELL ME IN DEATIL
(33) (31)(12) (24) (27) AND (28)

YOUR HELP WILL BE HUMBLY APPRECIATED..!!!! :)


Question 12:
momentum is conserved
momentum = p =mass x velocity

initial total momentum = (3m x v) + (m x -2v) = mv

as they stick together after collision, their velocity after collision is the same

total final momentum = (3m + m) x velocity = mv
4m x velocity = mv
velocity = v/4

Question 24:

if frequency is halved, the period is doubled as f=1/T
--> time taken for 1 complete cycle is doubled

intensity (amplitude^2)
amplitude √intensity

if intensity is doubled, thus the new amplitude is √2= 1.4

thus it's option B

Question 27:
always, to calculate number of visible orders/images
d sin θ= nλ
d=1/N

sin θ/N= nλ

sin θ=nλN
for all orders except zero order

sin θ<1
nλN<1
n<1/(λN)

If we increase the number of lines per m, i.e N,
number of visible orders(n) decreases

As for the angle:
sin θ=nλN
Increase N, sin θ increases.
As θ is acute, when sin θ increases, so does θ

so answer is B

Question 28:
fringe width= β = λD/d

λ= wavelength, D= distance between screen and double slit arrangement, d= separation of slits

If we halve d, β is doubled,i.e takes on a value of 8 mm

Then D is doubled, β is doubled again, β= 2 x 8 = 16 mm

Question 31:
Q=charge
Q=It
Q=ne
ne=It
rate of flow of electrons = n/t = I/e
= 4.8 / (1.6 x 10^-19)
= 3.0 x 10^19

Current flows from higher potential to lower potential, and electrons flow in the opposite direction.
Hence electrons flow from negative electrode of cell to positive electrode, i.e Y to X

Question 33:
-->use potential divider formula
p.d between X and P=V1= [500/(500+1000)] x 12 = -4.0 V
p.d between P and Y =V2 = [2000/(2000+1000)] x 12 = 8.0 V

total p.d between X and Y = 4.0V[/quote]
A very thanx to you........

Question 37:
e.m.f = sum of p.d
As e.m.f is constant, for p.d across thermistor to be maximum, p.d across LDR must be minimum.

for thermistor: decrease tem, resistance increases, p.d increases

for LDR ; increase light intensity, resistance decreases, p.d decreases

Answer is B

Anybody has any good notes for uncertainity ?? :(
Not exactly notes, but it may help for calculations:
1. if the given equation is a sum or subtraction, add absolute uncertainties
2. if given equation is a product or quotient (multiplication or division), add fractional uncertainties. In this case you would obtain the fractional uncertainty for the final answer. To obtain the absolute uncertainty, just multiply the fractional by the actual value of the answer.

absolute uncertainty is Δx and fractional uncertainty is Δx/x.

For values raised to powers, e.g x^5
the fractional uncertainty = fractional uncertainty of x x (power to which x is raised)
Δx^5/x^5 = 5 x (Δx/x)
