VICTORIA JUNIOR COLLEGE 2024 JC2 PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION Higher 2 PHYSICS Paper 1 Multiple Choice Additional Materials: Multiple Choice Answer Sheet 9749/01 20 September 2024 FRIDAY 2.30 pm to 3.30 pm (1 hour) READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write in soft pencil. Do not use staples, paper clips, glue or correction fluid. Write your name and Civics Group on the Answer Sheet in the spaces provided unless this has been done for you. DO NOT WRITE ON ANY BARCODES. There are thirty questions on this paper. Answer all questions. For each question there are four possible answers A, B, C and D. Choose the one you consider correct and record your choice in soft pencil on the separate Answer Sheet. Read the instructions on the Answer Sheet very carefully. Each correct answer will score one mark. A mark will not be deducted for a wrong answer. Any rough working should be done in this booklet. The use of an approved scientific calculator is expected, where appropriate. This document consists of 16 printed pages.
