TCE PhysicsPractice Examination 15

This paper covers

• Section A (Criterion 5): Newton's third law and connected bodies in a towing problem, with full working, units and directions.
• Section B (Criterion 6): transformers and induction qualitatively, with a moving conductor, including at least one labelled field or force diagram.
• Section C (Criterion 7): two-source water waves in a ripple tank, mixing calculation with a justified explanation.
• Section D (Criterion 8): nuclear reaction mass difference in u and MeV, with a non-routine or real-world context.
• Whole paper: a tug-boat operation in the Derwent estuary — towing and pushing, shore power and induction, wakes and ripple-tank models, and a visiting lecture on nuclear-powered ships.
