This paper covers

  • Motion & mechanics dominate the paper (55/110): vertical & banked circular motion at the loop, energy conservation with friction, projectile launch, gravitation/orbits, a v-t graph data task, and momentum/impulse with a spring launcher.
  • Fields & electricity (19/110): a step-up transformer feeding the ride with a transmission-loss comparison, and an eddy-current magnetic braking fin via Faraday/Lenz and the motor effect.
  • Waves (17/110): standing waves in a closed warning-horn pipe plus beats, and a Young's double-slit laser light show including a 'find lambda' inversion and a qualitative change.
  • Modern physics (19/110): photoelectric effect with threshold/stopping voltage and a de Broglie wavelength, plus special relativity time dilation and length contraction on a 'near-light' simulator with an explain part.

Students are permitted to bring into the examination the materials normally allowed for this subject. Answer all questions in the spaces provided.
