TCE PhysicsPractice Examination 2

This paper covers

• Section A (Criterion 5): motion graphs for a lift and Newton's second law with up to four forces, with full working, units and directions.
• Section B (Criterion 6): parallel current-carrying conductors and the force per unit length, including at least one labelled field or force diagram.
• Section C (Criterion 7): standing waves on a tensioned string and beats, mixing calculation with a justified explanation.
• Section D (Criterion 8): radioactive decay of a medical isotope, activity and half-life, with a non-routine or real-world context.
• Scenario: the medical physics department of a fictional regional hospital (Derwent Valley Hospital) maintains lifts, scanners and therapy equipment and handles medical isotopes.
• Section question counts 5 + 6 + 6 + 6; marks 45 per section; every part shows its marks.
