The only horizontal forces are contact forces (action-reaction pair) acting on each other when object hits the trolley. Hence, total momentum in t he horizontal direction remains constant (or is conserved).

[1] [1] 3(b)(i) 22BR 12.00 5.50 13.20 m [1] 3(b)(ii) R is first order maxima, path difference = 1 BR AR 13.20 12.50 0.70 m [1] [1] 3(b)(iii) 1 470 0.70 330 m s vf [1] [1] 3(c) Since 2AI , for ' 3 II , the amplitude of the waves from B is 1 3 A . At Q, the resultant amplitude of the wave interfering destructively is resultant 1 3 A A A resultant 0.423AA Hence, the resultant intensity is 2 resultant 0.423 0.179AII [1] amplitude of source B [1] resultant amplitude [1] answer 4(a)(i) 36 12 3.0 A PV I I I [1] for equation and substitution [1] for correct answer 4(a)(ii) 3.0 20 60 3600 C Qt I [1] for correct equation and substitution [1] for correct answer

There is no change to the potential difference across the lamps since they are all connected in parallel to an ideal battery. With the same potential difference and resistance, the power dissipated and brightness remain unchanged. [1] correct explanation [1] correct conclusion 4(b)(ii)2. Due to the internal resistance of the battery, the potential difference across the lamps decreases . Hence, the brightness of the lamps decreases. [1] p.d. across lamps decreases [1] brightness decreases 5(a) 7 0 4 3 2 4 4 4004 10 3.8 1.6 3.8 10 1.19381 10 T 0.04080 3.8 10 2 1.2 10 Wb Bn NBA I [1] [1] for correct substitution 5(b) 4 4 mean e.m.f. 2 1.2 10 0.30 8.0 10 V t [1] for correct substitution [1] for correct answer

Hence, the mean e.m.f. induced in coil Y is larger. [1] for correct answer 6(a)(i) Wave nature contradicts: Since energy is arriving in continuous manner, a certain time is needed for the electron to gather enough energy before it is ejected. Particulate nature supports: Energy of the incident photon will be instantaneously transferred to the absorbing electron in a one-one interaction. [1] [1] 6(a)(ii) Work function of a surface is the minimum energy required to liberate an electron from the surface. [1] 6(a)(iii) By Conservation of energy, Kinetic energy of electron = Energy of photon – Work done to emit an electron from the surface. But electrons can be ejected from different layers of metal, hence work done can vary, resulting in different KE. When the work done is minimum, KE will be maximum. [1] using conservation of energy or Einstein’s photoelectric equation [1] for any correct explanation. 6(b) Energy of photon, 350 nm 34 8 9 19 6.63 10 3.00 10 350 10 5.6829 10 J 3.55 eV hc [2] for any correct calculations

So electrons will be emitted from potassium metal using light of 350 nm. [1] for correct conclusion 7(a)(i) Energy density is the amount of energy that can be released per unit mass of fuel.
