For questions 1–10, in Section A, select one answer from A to D and put a cross in
the box . If you change your mind, put a line through the box and then mark
your new answer with a cross .
1 Radioactive decay is said to be a spontaneous process.
This means that
A we cannot know when a nucleus will decay.
B we cannot know which nucleus will decay next.
C we cannot know how many nuclei will decay.
D we cannot influence when a nucleus will decay.

second star cluster, is 4F.
The distance of the second star cluster from the Earth is
A 4D
B 2D

4 Exoplanets are planets orbiting stars other than our own Sun. Most exoplanets discovered
so far are giant planets similar to the planet Jupiter. The exoplanet Kepler-7b has a mass
about 0.43 times the mass of Jupiter, and a radius about 1.6 times the radius of Jupiter.
Take the gravitational field strength at the surface of Kepler-7b to be gK, and the
gravitational field strength at the surface of Jupiter to be gJ.
gK
The ratio is
