Figure 1 Figure 2 is a velocity–time graph for part of the runner’s warm-up. Figure 2 Do not write box . 1 Determine the total time for which the velocity of the runner was Do not write box increasing. [2 marks] Time = s . 2 Determine the deceleration of the runner. [2 marks] Deceleration = m/s2 Question 1 continues on the next page Turn over ► The smart watch and mobile phone are connected to each other by a system called Bluetooth. Bluetooth is wireless and uses electromagnetic waves for communication. . 3 Suggest why the phone and watch being connected by a wireless system is an advantage when running. [1 mark] Do not write box . 4 Write down the equation that links frequency, wave speed and wavelength. [1 mark] . 5 The electromagnetic waves have a frequency of Hz The speed of electromagnetic waves is 300 000 000 m/s Calculate the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves. [3 marks] Wavelength = m . 6 Table 1 shows some information about four types of Bluetooth. Table 1 Type Power in milliwatts Range in metres 1100 100 22.50 10.0 31.00 1.00 40.50 0.50 Mobile phones use type 2 Bluetooth to communicate with other devices. Suggest two reasons why.

The equipment includes: • a ripple tank filled with water • a wooden bar that creates ripples on the surface of the water • a light source which causes a shadow of the ripples on the screen. Do not write outside the Figure 3 . 1 Describe how equipment in Figure 3 can be used to measure the wavelength, frequency and speed of a water wave. [6 marks] *06 Do not write outside the The teacher put a plastic duck in the ripple tank as shown in Figure 4. The plastic duck moved up and down as the waves in the water passed. Figure 4 . 2 How does the movement of the plastic duck in Figure 4 demonstrate that water waves are transverse? [1 mark] Question 2 continues on the next page Turn over ► *07* Downloaded by: NewAcademicsSolutions | . 3 The teacher measured the maximum height and the minimum height of the plastic duck above the screen as the wave passed. The teacher repeated his measurements. Table 2 shows the teacher’s measurements. Table 2 Do not write box Maximum height in mm 509 513 511 Minimum height in mm50 3 49 8 499 Calculate the mean amplitude of the water wave. [3 marks] Mean amplitude = mm *0 * Some quantities are scalars and some are vectors. . 1 Which of the following quantities are scalars? Tick () two boxes. [2 marks] Do not write box Displacement Distance Force Speed Velocity . 2 Give the difference between a vector quantity and a scalar quantity. [1 mark] Question 3 continues on the next page Do not write Turn over ► Bumper cars are a fairground ride and are designed to bump into each other. Figure 5 shows two bumper cars moving towards each other. The momentum of each bumper car is shown Do not write outside the by an arrow. Figure 5 . 3 Give two factors that affect the momentum of each bumper car. [2 marks] 1 2 . 4 The bumper cars crash into each other and stop. Explain why both bumper cars stop after the crash. [4 marks] Figure 6 shows a wire in a magnetic field. The direction of the current in the wire is shown. Do not write outside the Figure 6 . 1 There is a force on the wire due to the current in the magnetic field. In which direction is the force on the wire? Tick () one box. [1 mark] . 2 Give two ways that the direction of the force on the wire could be reversed. [2 marks] 1 2 Question 4 continues on the next page Turn over ► Do not write outside the . 3 The length of the wire in the magnetic field is 0.050 m The force on the wire is 0.072 N magnetic flux density = 360 mT Calculate the current in the wire. Use the Physics Equations Sheet. [4 marks] Do not write box Current = A . Figure 7 shows a simple motor. Do not write outside the Figure 7 Explain why the coil rotates when there is a current in the coil. [4 marks] Turn over for the next question Turn over ► Figure 8 shows some springs inside a mattress. Figure 8 Do not write outside the . 1 Which proportionality is true when a force is applied to a spring? Tick () one box. [1 mark] Force
