(a) Speed = 100 × 1000/3600 m s-1 = 27.78 m s-1 1A
(b) Acceleration a = (v - u)/t = (0 - 27.78)/5 = -5.56 m s-2
Braking distance d = (v2 - u2)/2a = 27.782 / (2 × 5.56) = 69.4 m 2M
Thinking distance l = 27.78 × 0.8 = 22.2 m 1M
Stopping distance s = l + d =22.2 + 69.4 = 91.6 m 1M
As the stopping distance is smaller than separation (100m), the taxi 1A
will not hit the lorry.

(a)
(i) Let h be the maximum height from which the hammer falls.
Potential energy of falling hammer = mgh = 50 J 1M
⇒ 0.5 × 10 × h = 50
h = 10 m 1A
The maximum height at which the hammer falls is 10 m (above the
hat).
(ii) Assume that the potential energy of the falling hammer is entirely 1A
changed to kinetic energy.

(b) The height of 10 m is roughly 3-storey high. 1A


Since objects may fall at a height much higher than 10 m in 1A
construction sites of high-rise buildings,
the impact energy of the falling objects would be much larger than 1A
50 J.
Therefore, even safety hats comply with international standard,
their protection may not be adequate for construction workers in
construction sites of high-rise buildings.

Solutions Marks
(a) The temperature of water in both tanks increases. 1A
It is because heat is transferred from the Sun to the water by radiation. 1A
(b) Tank B will have a higher average temperature of water after a few 1A
hours.
Black surfaces are better absorbers of radiation than white surfaces. 1A
The water in the lowerer part of tank B is hotter than that in the upper 1A
part.
Convection then occurs in the water and the lower part of water 1A
becomes hot quickly.
On the other hand, the water in the upper part of tank A is hotter than 1A
that in the lower part. Heat cannot be effectively transferred
throughout the tank since convection can hardly occur.

refracted rays)

(b) By part (a), since the image of the fish is closer to Peter, 1A
the fish looks bigger than its actual size. 1A

Solutions Marks
(a) Radon is the decay product of uranium, and 1A
Uranium is contained in the soil or rocks. 1A
(b) Radon gas inhaled by miners gives out radiation 1A
which damages lung tissues of miners. 1A
(c) Ensure mines are well ventilated. 1A
(Accept other reasonable answers.)

Solutions Marks
(a) U-235 1A
and U-238 are isotopes of uranium. 1A
U-235 is the rare isotope of uranium. 1A
U-235 is responsible for the fission in the bomb. 1A
(b) (i) The neutrons emitted by the 'neutron generator' collide and split 1A
U-235 nuclei to induce fission.
(ii) It is because fission can be sustained only if the mass of 1A
uranium is above its critical mass.
(iii) Enriched uranium has a higher concentration of U-235 than 1A
natural uranium.
If enriched uranium is used, the rate of fission is faster and the 1A
power of the bomb is larger.

Solutions Marks
(a) When current flows through a tungsten wire, the wire is heated up 1A
and, according to the graph, the resistance of the wire increases.
Then by V = IR, the current passing the bulb decreases. 1A
Hence, when a tungsten light bulb is switched on, the current passing 1A
the bulb decreases.
(b) The resistance of thermistor decreases with increasing temperature. 1A
Thermistor can be used in fire alarm. 1A
(Or other reasonable applications, like temperature detector)
It is because when there is a fire, the resistance of thermistor drops 1A
significantly.
The current in fire alarm increases and can trigger the alarm. 1A

Solutions Marks
(a) '1, 2, 3'. 1A
(b) Transverse. 1A
It is because the particles on the spring move at right angles to the 1A
travelling direction of the wave.
(c) (i) Any one of the following: 1A
To damage the spring between the sender and the receiver.
To fix a section of the spring between the sender and the
receiver, so that pulses cannot pass through.
(or other methods)
(ii) Stretch the spring to increase the tension, so that the wave speed 1A
and hence the transmission speed will increase.

(Correct data points.) 2A
(Straight line passing through the first 4 data points and a curve 1A
passing through the last 2 data points.)
(ii) When a current passes through a resistor, energy will be 1A
dissipated as heat.
When the current is high enough to sufficiently heat up the wire, 1A
the resistance of the resistor increases.
Therefore, the slope of the curve increases when the current is
large.
(iii) From the graph, when the voltage is 2 V, current of 0.65 A 1A
passes the bulb.
By V = IR, 1M
2 1A
resistance of the bulb at 2 V = = 3.08 Ω
0.65
The resistance of the bulb when it operates at 2 V is 3.08 Ω.

(a) (i) The student is wrong. 1A
It is because power is proportional to the square of voltage, 1A
therefore the power will be quadrupled, but not doubled. 1A

(ii) Rated value of current = P/V = 1100/110 = 10 A
Operating current in Hong Kong 1A
= P/V = 4400/220 = 20 A 1A
This exceeds the rated value, so it does not function normally
in Hong Kong.

(a) Weight of the object = mg 1M
= 1 × 10 = 10 N 1A
(b) *(i) The air resistance increases with the speed of the box. 1A
Eventually, it becomes big enough to offset the weight of the 1A
box. 1A
When this happens, the net force acting on the box becomes
zero.
According to Newton's first law, the box will fall with a constant
speed.
(For effective communication) 1C
(ii) Air resistance = weight of the set-up (box and contents)
= 5 × 10 = 50 N 1A
