The drag force FD acting on a sphere falling through a liquid is given by FD = 6πηr v where r is the radius of the sphere, v is the speed of the sphere in the liquid and η is a property of the liquid called the viscosity. Show that the SI base units of viscosity are kg m–1 s–1. The sphere has a radius of 3.0 cm and is falling vertically downwards at a terminal velocity of 2.0 m s–1 through the liquid. The drag force acting on the sphere is 0.096 N. Calculate the viscosity of the liquid. viscosity = kg m–1 s–1 The sphere is shown in . sphere liquid On , draw and label arrows to represent the directions of the three forces acting on the sphere as it falls at terminal velocity through the liquid. The density of the liquid is 920 kg m–3. Show that the upthrust acting on the sphere is 1.0 N. Calculate the mass of the sphere. mass = kg

Define displacement from a point. An object is projected horizontally at a speed of 6.0 m s–1 from a slope, as shown in . object 6.0 m s–1 slope horizontal θ (not to scale) The slope is at an angle θ to the horizontal. Air resistance is negligible. The object lands on the slope a time of 0.71 s later and stops without rolling or bouncing. Determine the horizontal distance travelled by the object. distance = m Determine the vertical distance travelled by the object. distance = m Use your answers in and to calculate θ. θ = ° Determine the magnitude of the displacement of the object from its original position. displacement = m By considering energy, calculate the speed of the object just before it lands. speed = m s–1

State Hooke’s law. The variation of the applied force with the extension for a sample of a material is shown in . extension / mm force / N X The sample behaves elastically up to an extension of 80 mm and breaks at point X. On the line in , draw a cross (×) to show the limit of proportionality. Label this cross with the letter P. On the line in , draw a cross (×) to show the elastic limit. Label this cross with the letter E. The sample in has a cross-sectional area of 0.40 mm2 and an initial length of 3.2 m. For deformations within the limit of proportionality of the sample, determine: the spring constant of the sample spring constant = N m–1 the Young modulus of the material from which the sample is made. Young modulus = Pa Determine an estimate of the work done on the sample as it is extended from zero extension to its breaking point. Explain your reasoning. work done = J A second sample of the same material has a larger cross-sectional area than the original sample but the same initial length. The two samples are each deformed with the limit of proportionality. State and explain qualitatively how the spring constant of the second sample compares with that of the original sample.

A progressive transverse wave travelling from left to right is shown at an instant in time in . T R direction of travel wave R and T are points on the wave. State the phase difference between the points R and T. phase difference = ° On , draw an arrow at point T to show the direction of movement of point T at the instant shown.

Calculate the frequency of the wave. frequency = Hz The wave is a water wave produced by a dipper S1 attached to a vibrator in a ripple tank. An identical dipper S2 is attached to the same vibrator. The two dippers produce an interference pattern on the water in the tank, as shown in . S1 wave troughs wave crests water S2 P (not to scale) The wave crests from each source are represented by solid lines on and the wave troughs are represented by dashed lines. At point P in , the wave from S1 has the same amplitude A as the wave from S2. Describe and explain the amplitude of the resultant wave at point P.

State Kirchhoff’s second law. State the conservation law that gives rise to Kirchhoff’s second law. A circuit contains a cell of internal resistance r and two resistors of resistances R1 and R2, as shown in . R1 r R2 V I The potential difference (p.d.) across the two resistors is V. The current in the cell is I. Use Kirchhoff’s laws to show that the total resistance RT of the external circuit is given by RT = 1 R1 + 1 R2 . The electromotive force (e.m.f.) of the cell is 1.50 V. When the values of R1 and R2 are 10 Ω and 15 Ω respectively, the p.d. measured by the voltmeter is 1.38 V. Calculate the internal resistance r of the cell. r = Ω A third resistor is added in parallel with R1 and R2 in the circuit in . State and explain the effect, if any, of this change on: the current in the cell the p.d. measured by the voltmeter.
