Answer to Paper 1
1. (a) When the thermometer is removed from the patient, the mercury contracts. [1]
The constriction thus prevents part of mercury above the constriction from returning to the bulb.
[1]
This will enable the patient’s highest temperature to be read. [1]
(b) The bulb of the thermometer is made of thin glass so that thermal energy can be conducted very
quickly through it to the mercury. [1]
The thermometer can then respond quickly to temperature changes. [1]
(c) Gas bubbles in the dough [1]
reduce heat transfer by conduction and convection. [1]

2. (a) To take a photograph of an object, the camera should form a real image of the object on the film.
[1]
No matter where the object is, the real image is never formed within one focal length from the
lens. [1]
(b) The distance between the student and the building is minimum when the height of the image
is 30 mm. [1]
Consider the magnification of the image on the film.

(b) Area under graph = × (1 + 2.5)× 20

This is the distance traveled before the car finally comes to rest. [1]
(c) The car would not hit the obstacle as it is able to stop within a distance of 35 m.

8. (a) The velocity increased immediately because the air resistance acting on the metal box is
minimal, thus the box accelerates. [1]
(b) (i) resultant downward force = weight – air resistance

(ii) Fnet = ma

The box and parachute is are accelerating at a value of 4 m s-2. [1]

9. (a) Every body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion [1]
unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force (i.e. net force) [1]
[1] for effective communication
10. The difference in penetrating powers of α , β and γ rays is used as the basis to investigate the
emission of each radiation.
The steps are as follows:
(1) Record the count rate first without using any absorber. [1]
(2) A sheet of paper is placed between the source and the detector (sufficient to stop α particles
but not β particles). The count rate is recorded. [1]
(3) Another aluminium absorber of thickness 5 mm (sufficient to stop α and β particles but not γ
rays). The count rate is recorded. [1]

If the radiations emitted are α and β particles only, each reading recorded drops substantially
when compared with the preceding one. The final reading would be the background radiation only.

11. (a) The maximum potential difference (the full scale deflection voltage)

(b) (i) To produce a magnetic field of symmetrical to an axis passing through the coil. [1]

(ii) He is incorrect [1]

The soft iron core is used to makes the magnetic field stronger (concentrate the magnetic
field), and thus the galvanometer can still work without the core. [1]
12. (a) (i) Consider M1 and M2 as a system.
By Newton’s 2nd law, Fnet = ma [1]

(iii) The student is incorrect. [1]
Loss P.E. of M2 = gain in K.E. of M2 + gain in K.E. of M1 [1]
The difference is due to the K.E. gained by M2 as it falls. [1]
(c) (i) By the principle of conservation of momentum [1]
M1×Ubefore = (M1+M3)×Vafter

(b) The meats remain tenderized and will not be over-cooked [1]
OR The favors are not easily lost as water evaporates.
OR The ingredients are able to remain intact and will not get broken up as they are stationary
throughout the process.
(c) The temperature of the boiling soup remains unchanged since the boiling point has been reached
and all the energy (supplied by the flame) absorbed by the soup will become latent heat of
vaporization of the soup in order to change soup to steam. [2]
OR
Energy supplied by the flame is used to increase the intermolecular potential energy of the soup.
(d) (i) For 1 kilogram of soup, [1]
it takes 2.26 ×10 6 joules of heat energy to vaporize. [1]
