QUESTION 2 (Start on a new page.)

Two blocks of masses 20 kg and 5 kg respectively are connected by a light
inextensible string, P. A second light inextensible string, Q, attached to the 5 kg block,
runs over a light frictionless pulley. A constant horizontal force of 250 N pulls the
second string as shown in the diagram below. The magnitudes of the tensions in P and
Q are T 1 and T 2 respectively. Ignore the effects of air friction.

A ball, A, is thrown vertically upward from a height, h, with a speed of 15 m∙s-1.
AT THE SAME INSTANT, a second identical ball, B, is dropped from the same height
as ball A as shown in the diagram below.

Both balls undergo free fall and eventually hit the ground.

QUESTION 4 (Start on a new page.)

Dancers have to learn many skills, including how to land correctly. A dancer of mass
50 kg leaps into the air and lands feet first on the ground. She lands on the ground with
a velocity of 5 m∙s-1. As she lands, she bends her knees and comes to a complete stop
in 0,2 seconds.

4.1       Calculate the momentum with which the dancer reaches the ground.                      (3)

4.2       Define the term impulse of a force.                                                   (2)

4.3       Calculate the magnitude of the net force acting on the dancer as she lands.           (3)

Assume that the dancer performs the same jump as before but lands without bending
her knees.

4.4       Will the force now be GREATER THAN, SMALLER THAN or EQUAL TO the
          force calculated in QUESTION 4.3?                                                     (1)

4.5       Give a reason for the answer to QUESTION 4.4.                                         (3)

QUESTION 9 (Start on a new page.)

The diagram below represents a simplified version of an electrical machine used to
light up a bulb.

                                              commutator

9.1       Name the principle on which the machine operates.                               (1)

9.2       State ONE way in which to make this bulb burn brighter.                         (1)

Some changes have been made to the machine and a new device is obtained as
shown below.

                                X

                               brushes

9.3       Name part X in the new device.                                                  (1)

QUESTION 10 (Start on a new page.)

Ultraviolet light is incident onto a photocell with a potassium cathode as shown below.
The threshold frequency of potassium is 5,548 x 1014 Hz.

                                  incident light       potassium cathode

                                DC source

10.1      Define the term threshold frequency (cut-off frequency).                             (2)

The maximum speed of an ejected photoelectron is 5,33 x 105 m∙s-1.

10.2      Calculate the wavelength of the ultraviolet light used.                              (5)

The photocell is now replaced by another photocell with a rubidium cathode. The
maximum speed of the ejected photoelectron is 6,10 x 105 m∙s-1 when the same
ultraviolet light source is used.

10.3      How does the work function of rubidium compare to that of potassium?
          Write down only GREATER THAN, SMALLER THAN or EQUAL TO.                              (1)

10.4      Explain the answer to QUESTION 10.3.                                                 (3)
