Given that that is fixed, explain how the motion of the rod will change. When wheels are installed, the frictional force at A will reduce significantly and since is fixed, T must remain the same to maintain vertical equilibrium of forces, therefore, there must be a net force in the horizontal direction and the rod will accelerate to the right.

Draw the direction of the magnetic field on Fig. 4.2. 5 [1] In the design of structure, such as buildings, towers or bridges, an engineer may use a cantilever beam to allow for overhanging structure without external bracing. A cantilever is a beam supported only on one end. The engineer will make calculations to ensure that the cantilever beam is strong enough to withstand any forces applied on it and ensure that there is not too much vertical deflection. An appropriate beam can then be chosen based on the maximum allowable load to be applied. Fig. 5.1 illustrates a cantilever of length L loaded with a point load P at its end. A vertical deflection y of the free end of the cantilever will result from the loading. L Load y Fig. 5.1 A student was asked to investigate the behaviour of such an arrangement and found out from a book that the expression relating the vertical deflection of a loader cantilever. This was given as Equation 1: y where NYJC 2010 4PL3 kbh 3 (Equation 1) k is a constant b = breath of cantilever h = height of cantilever 8866/02/PRELIM/10 [Turn over 10 (a) The student first used two steel cantilevers to investigate the relationship between y, P and L. He first kept L constant and varied P and obtained the results as shown in Fig. 5.2: P (N) 10 20 40 50 70 90 y (mm) for Cantilever A 1.9 3.9 7.8 9.9 13.8 17.7 y (mm) for Cantilever B 10.8 16.0 26.9 34.8 46.2 57.9 For Examiner’s Use Fig. 5.2 By plotting this result on a graph, he was able to deduce a relationship between y and P for both cantilevers. This appeared to be of the same form for each, although there seemed to be some form of systematic error in the results for B. The graph showing the relationship between y and P for Cantilever A has been sketched on Fig. 5.3. (i) On Fig. 5.3, draw a best fit line through the plots to show the relationship between y and P for Cantilever B.

The graph shows a linear relationship between y and P. The data support Equation 1 as y is proportional to P. [2] (iii) Suggest a reason why the student thinks the measurements for Cantilever B were subjected to systematic error. When no point load is being applied to cantilever B (P = 0), there should not be any deflection (y = 0). However, from the graph, there seems to be a deflection when P = 0 for Cantilever B, suggesting the presence of a systematic error. (iv) [2] From the graphs plotted, estimate the amount of this error. Error = (b) any answers between 5 – 6 mm [1] The student continued his investigation by keeping P constant and varying L, obtaining the results for Cantilever A as shown in Fig. 5.4.

The student proceeded to sketch a graph showing the variation of lg y against lg L as shown in Fig. 5.5.

Gradient 2.000 0.500 3.00 0.600 0.100 choose a gradient triangle more than half the area of the grids Gradient = (ii) [1] Hence discuss whether the data in Fig. 5.4 support Equation 1. The data supports Eq 1 as the gradient of the graph lg y against lg L gives the order of the relation between y and L. From the data, y is proportional to L3 which support Equation 1. NYJC 2010 8866/02/PRELIM/10 [2] 13 (c) After researching further into the subject, the student found out that the constant k in Equation 1 is known as the Young’s Modulus which is a property of the material which the cantilever is made from.

A lorry suddenly appears in front of the car. In the time interval between the lorry being spotted and the brakes on the car coming into operation, the car moves forward a distance of 10.6 m. With the brakes applied, the front wheels of the car leave skid marks on the road that are 4.2 m long, as illustrated in Fig. 6.1. 110 km h-1 Skid mark 10.6 m lorry 4.2 m Fig. 6.1 It is estimated that, during the skid, the magnitude of the deceleration of the car is 0.85 g, where g is the acceleration of free fall. (a) Determine (i) the speed v of the car before just before it collide with the stationary lorry. 110 km h-1 = 30.6 m s-1. v2 = u2 +2as = (30.6)2 + 2(0.85)(-9.91)(4.2) v = 29.1 m s-1. speed v = (ii) m s-1 [2] the time interval between the lorry appearing and the collision taking place. t1 = 10.6/30.6 = 0.346 s. t2 = v-u/a = (29.1 - 30.6)/(0.85)(-9.81) = 0.180 s total time = t1 + t2 = (0.346 + 0.180) = 0.53 s time interval = NYJC 2010 8866/02/PRELIM/10 s [2] 15 (b) For Examiner’s Use Fig. 6.2 shows the side view of the passenger of mass 65 kg in the front seat. The forces acting on him at the instant when the brake is applied is also shown. C.G. x Normal reaction force. Frictional force Weight of passenger Fig. 6.2 (i) With reference to the forces acting on him, explain why the driver will lean forward during this instant. From the diagram shown, the frictional force will provide a clockwise moment about the C.G. resulting in the driver rotating clockwise. Hence the driver will lean forward during this instant. [2] (ii) State the net force acting on the passenger. F = ma = (65)(0.85)(9.81) = 542 N \\ net force = (c) N [1] Given that the sport car make a completely inelastic collision with the stationary lorry of mass 2500 kg. (i) Explain what is meant by a completely inelastic collision. A completely inelastic collision is one in which the 2 bodies move with a common velocity after collision and the total kinetic energy of the system before and after collision is not conserved. [2] NYJC 2010 8866/02/PRELIM/10 [Turn over 16 For Examiner’s Use (ii) Calculate the velocity of the car right after collision, stating any assumption made. pinitial = pfinal (1500)(29.1) = (1500+2500)(v) v = 10.9 m s-1 m s-1 [3] velocity = (iii) The airbag in the sport car is deployed almost immediately after the collision. Explain how the airbag help to minimize the injuries to the front seat passenger. The airbag helps to increase the time of impact and by Newton 2nd law, F = p/t, this will greatly reduce the force of impact on the passenger. [2] (d) After the accident, the sports car of mass 1500 kg had to be towed by a 2000 kg lorry up a slope at a constant speed of 5.0 m s-1 as shown in Fig. 6.3. The power P delivered by the lorry is 55 kW. 5.0 ms-1 10o Fig. 6.3 (i) By considering the sports car and the lorry as a whole system, find the rate of increase of the gravitational potential energy of the system. Rate of increase of GPE = mgvy = (3500)(9.81)(5.0sin10o) = 29 800 J rate of increase of GPE = J s-1 [2] (ii) Using the principle of conservation of energy, show that the total resistive force, fR acting on the whole system (sports car + lorry) is approximately 5000 N. Power delivered = Rate of increase of GPE + rate of work done against fR 55 000 = 29800 + fR(5.0) fR = 5000 N [2] NYJC 2010 8866/02/PRELIM/10 17 For Examiner’s Use (iii) Hence determine the driving force, F acting on the lorry, explaining your answer. F = 0 F - mgsin - fR = 0 F = (3500)(9.81)(sin10o)+ 5000 = 11 000 N driving force = 7 N [2] The diagram below shows visible light waves spreading through a single slit a before spreading at slits b and c. D N M S1 S2 (a) Y screen Image seen Error! Not a valid link. on screen State the name of this experiment. Young’s Double Slit experiment [1] (b) With reference to the waves spreading from the slits b and c, explain why interference occurs only where waves from both sources overlap. Interference is the result of superposition of two wavetrains, thus will only occur where there are waves from both sources. [2] Double Slit experiment (c) Explain what diffraction is, and describe the part played by diffraction in this experiment. Diffraction is the spreading of light waves past an opening. Diffraction from b and c ensures that waves from two sources meet so that [2] interference can occur. Interference is the result of superposition of two wavetrains, thus will NYJC 2010 only occur where there are waves from both sources. 8866/02/PRELIM/10 Double Slit experiment [Turn over 18 (d) (e) Label one part of the screen view where destructive interference has occurred with the letter D. [1] Explain in detail why constructive interference occurs at N. Constructive interference occurs because the path difference between aN and bN is 2λ. The waves will meet in phase, and thus the result of superposition is reinforcement: the resultant amplitude is the sum of [2] the individual amplitudes (f) State a condition necessary for observable interference, and explain how this experiment ensures that the condition is met. Coherence of the sources is necessary for observable interference. Slit a is used to spread light from the same source to b and c so that they are coherent sources. OR The superposing waves must be of the same amplitude. Making slit [2] a and b equidistant from a ensures that the amplitude of the waveforms (g) The monochromatic lightsame. used in this experiment has a wavelength 589 nm. The from b and c are the distance between S1 and S2 is 0.200 m while the distance between S2 and the screen is 2.5 m. The distance between slits b and c is 0.80 mm. Calculate the distance between two consecutive bright lines on the screen. x= D (589x10-9 ) (2.5) = = 2.9 x 10-3 m -3 a (0.8 x 10 ) distance = (h) m [2] If a piece of plastic is placed in front of slit b, the light waves from b will be caused to slow down, without any change in frequency. Some of the wave energy will be absorbed by the plastic as well. (i) State how the wavelength of the wave from b will change. The wavelength will be smaller (from v = f λ) [1] (ii) NYJC 2010 State how the amplitude of the wave from b will change. 8866/02/PRELIM/10 For Examiner’s Use 19 For Examiner’s Use The amplitude will be smaller. [1] (iii) Based on your answer in (h)(i), predict whether there will be more or fewer waveforms in the plastic piece as compared to the number of waveforms in an equal thickness of air. There will be more waveforms in the plastic piece. [1] (iv) Using your answers in (h)(ii) and (iii), explain how the image on the screen will change, in terms of position, separation and contrast, when a piece of plastic is placed in front of slit b. Because there are more waveforms in the plastic piece than in the same thickness of air, the centre of the interference pattern (where there are exactly the same number of waveforms between both the sources and the centre) would be nearer the side X. Because the amplitude of one wavetrain is smaller, the amplitude of constructive interference would be smaller while the amplitude of destructive interference would be bigger, so the contrast [5] between the fringes would be smaller. The separation of the fringes remains unchanged. NYJC 2010 8866/02/PRELIM/10 [Turn over 20 8 Electromagnetic radiation is incident normally on the surface of a metal.

Calculate (i) the power of the radiation incident on the surface, power = I A = 8.2 x 103 x 2.0 x 10-4 = 1.64 W (ii) the number of photons incident per second on the surface. (N/t) hf = power N/t = 1.64 / 8.28 x10-19 = 1.98 x 1018 s-1 (iii) Hence determine the ratio number of electrons emitted per second number of photons incident per second = 1.31 x 1013/ 1.98 x 1018 = 6.62 x 10-6 ratio =…..……………. [1] (f) Comment on your answer to (e) (iii). Very few photons successfully emit an electron. (g) When the wavelength of the radiation is gradually increased to 310 nm, the reading in the microammeter just drops to zero. Explain this phenomenon and calculate the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted from the metal surface when the wavelength of the radiation remains at 240 nm. The wavelength 310 nm is the threshold wavelength [1], above which the energy of the photon is not enough to remove an electron to the surface of the metal. [1] Hence no current is detected.
