Q ANSWER Suggested Reason
1 D Recall. 7 base quantities.
2 C Most accurate method (average of few readings and precise instrument)
3 D Distance travelled ÷ Time taken
4 B Area under speed-time graph = ½ (20) (5.0) = 50.0 m. He reacted immediately.
Taking into account negligible human reaction time, he would stop on the line.
5 B Y is the highest point (momentarily at rest at highest point)
To stop, speed should be zero.
6 B For right angled triangle, tension = sqrt (202 + 302) = 36.1 N
7 C Push – friction = m a and hence 40 – friction = 2.0 (5.0)
Friction = 40 – 10 = 30 N
8 C Recall. Inertia depends on mass.
9 A Volume of bottle = mass / density = 680 / 13.6 = 50 cm3
Density of P = mass / volume = 50 / 50 = 1.0 g/cm3
10 B Clockwise moments = anti-clockwise moments
10 (4.0) + 5.0 (1.0) = F (1.0) and hence F = 45 N
11 B Recall. Weight acts through corner (edge) of base.
12 A Recall. Pressure = Force / Area.
13 B Recall. Manometer.
14 C W = F d = 8.0 (6.0 x 5.0) = 240 J
15 A P = F d / t = 600 x 10 / 20 = 300 W

32 B Recall.
33 D I = V / R = 12 / 6 = 2.0 A (effective resistance = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 )
34 D Recall. Switch is along live wire. Earth wire touches metal casing.
35 A Unlike poles attract. Z becomes an induced magnet that is attracted to Y.
36 C Magnetic field lines go from right-hand-side pole to left-hand-side pole.
37 A Apply fleming’s left hand rule (conventional current to left)
38 B Amplitude = max value of 2 boxes vertically.
Frequency = 1 / 4 horizontal boxes.
39 C Y is powered by the d.c. cell. X and Z do not lit due to no changing magnetic field (no a.c.
supply).
40 D Halved the period implies twice the frequency.
Twice the amplitude implies twice the rate of cutting of magnetic flux (faraday’s law)

Much larger current will create a much stronger electromagnet.
Hence, we need to reduce the strength of the electromagnet.

10 The diagram shows a tall cylinder containing some water. A syringe is used to prevent the water
from spurting out from the outlet at the bottom of the cylinder. The height of the water above the
outlet is 2.5 m. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and the cross-sectional area of the piston of
the syringe is 2.0 x 10-3 m2.
