(a) i 2 the boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid
produces saturated vapor pressure equals to the atmospheric
pressure.
ii. 1 sea water contains salt /impurities causing boiling point to
be higher
1 because sea water is difficult to vaporize
1 more energy is required to change sea water to vapor
1 therefore a higher temperature is required to boil
iii 1 atmospheric pressure
1 type of liquid
(b) 1 water evaporates easily causing reading to be inaccurate/ Any two of three
1 water sticks to the walls of the tube/
higher specific heat capacity
(c) 1 thermometer is made from transparent glass that is strong
1 so that it is not easily broken
1 the thermometric liquid chosen is mercury
1 because it easily expands uniformly
1 the capillary tube is made narrow and thin
1 so that it is more sensitive
1 the shape of the thermometer is round
1 so that it has a magnifying effect
1 the thermometer is placed in melting ice to obtain the lower
point
1 the thermometer is placed in steam from boiling water to
obtain the upper point

(a). 1 is the energy stored in a spring when it is extended or

3
 compressed
(b) 1 Larger compression produces bigger elastic potential
energy
1 Elastic potential energy is changed to kinetic energy
1 Larger kinetic energy produces higher velocity
(c) i Elastic P E = Fx
1 = 30(0.05)
1 = 0.75 J
ii.. 1 K E = elastic P E
1 = 0.75 J
(0.02)v2 = 0.75
iii. 1
1 v = 8.66 m/s
(d) 1 use a spring with a bigger diameter
1 so that k is bigger
1 the spring is made from steel
1 because the type of material influences k
a larger k produces a bigger elastic P E elastic P E
1
changes to K E
1
1 spring is greatly compressed
1 so that elastic PE is bigger
1 slope of inclined plane is 45 degrees
1 so that distance is maximum

(a) i 1 The distance between two sides of a sphere through the
centre of the sphere
ii 1 To bring the sides of the pipe closer to one another
1 To show that the reading of the side of the pipe is vertically
straight to the scale of the ruler
(b) 1 The small reading of scale 0.01 cm is chosen
1 Because it is suitable for the internal diameter of the beaker
to be measured
1 The range of measurement from 0 to 10 cm
1 is the suitable range for the use to measure diameter of the
beaker
1 able to measure the diameter directly
1 without the help of set squares
1 the level of sensitivity is average
1 therefore suitable to measure the diameter
1 therefore the choice of the measuring instrument that is
suitable is N.
1 This is because its range of measuement is 0 10 cm, it is
able to measure the diameter without the help of set squares,
the level of sensitivity is average and the smallest division
on the scale is 0.01 cm which is not too big.
(c) i 1 A piece of wire round closely to the glass rod until its length
is big enough

4
 1 Using a meter rule measure the length of wire wound at the
glass rod, say x cm
1 Then calculate the number of wire wound around the glass
rod, say y circumference
1 The diameter of the wire can be determined , x/y cm

ii Using the formula V = (d/2)2l

1 V = 0.5 cm3
1 (0.01/2)2l = 0.5
1 l = 6.37 X 103 cm

(a) i 1 Fluid is either liquid or gas
ii 1 When the speed of a fluid increases its pressure decreases
1 When the speed of a fluid decreases its pressure increases
(b) 1 The density of the material should be low
1 So that its weight is low
1 The melting point should be high
1 To be able to withstand high temperature achieved during
flight
1 The material must be very strong
1 To be able to withstand very strong force exerted on the
wing during flight
1 Shaped with a curved surface at the top and a flat surface at
the bottom
1 To achieve an upward lifting force when moving at high
speed
1 The most suitable is Q
1 Because of its relatively low density, high melting point,
high strength and correct shape of aerofoil
(c) i 1 Acceleration of the car is directly proportional to the force
acting on the car
1 Inversely proportional to its mass
1 Hence a light weight racing car with a powerful engine will
achieve a higher acceleration
ii 1 Material R
1 Its shape will result in a downward force
1 That prevents the car from being lifted up
1 Its high melting point allows it to withstand high
temperature when the car is moving at high speed
