Q6. MOMENTS
Extinct animals can be studied by using their fossils. 70-million-year-old fossils from the Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops dinosaurs show that a Triceratops was sometimes eaten by a Tyrannosaurus rex.
The diagram shows a Tyrannosaurus rex skull.
On the diagram, the position of the main biting muscle is indicated by the line labelled 'muscle force'. The muscle is connected to the jaw at point J. This produces a moment about point P where the jaw is hinged. Teeth marks found in fossilised Triceratops bones show that the force exerted by a tooth at the front of the jaw X could reach 6500 N.
The skull is drawn to a scale of 1 to 10. The force arrows are not drawn to scale.
Take measurements from the diagram to determine the size of the muscle force when the force exerted by the tooth at X is 6500 N.

Q8. CAPACITANCE
A defibrillator is an electrical device designed to deliver a brief electrical signal to restore a normal rhythm to the heart. Electrodes are attached to the chest of a patient and a charged capacitor is discharged through the chest cavity.

Q10.
In recent years there has been a development of ultracapacitors which have much higher capacitance than traditional capacitors. Capacitors store energy due to charge in an electric field whereas batteries store energy due to a chemical reaction. There are several applications where ultracapacitors have an advantage over batteries; for example storing energy from rapidly fluctuating supplies or delivering charge very quickly.
(a) A typical ultracapacitor has a capacitance of 1500 F and a maximum operating potential difference of 2.6 V.
(i) Show that the charge on this capacitor when fully charged is about 4000 C.(2)

(c) There is a limit to the amount of charge an ultracapacitor can hold but it can deliver the charge very quickly. A battery can deliver much more charge but only at a slower rate. For electric powered vehicles it is suggested that using a combination of batteries and ultracapacitors would give the best performance.
Suggest, with reasons, which stages of a journey would be more suited to ultracapacitors and which would be more suited to batteries.

Q17. CAPACITANCE
Some mobile phones have a capacitor touch screen made up of a sheet of glass with a thin metallic coating. The screen is charged and when it is touched some of the charge is transferred to the user. This causes a drop in electrical potential at the point where the screen is touched.

A helium-neon gas laser is often used in the laboratory as a source of high intensity, coherent, monochromatic light.
The diagram shows some of the energy levels above the ground level E3 for helium atoms and for neon atoms. The highest shown levels for helium atoms and neon atoms are almost identical.
Helium atoms in the gas are excited to level E2 by the current passing through the laser. They collide at high speed with neon atoms.

Q31. WAVE PARTICLE DUALITY
In the late 1880s it was discovered that a negatively-charged zinc plate loses its charge when exposed to ultraviolet radiation.
Explain why this happens, but only with ultraviolet radiation and not white light. You are expected to complete a calculation to support your answer.
work function of zinc = 6.9 × 10−19 J

Q32. FOCAL LENGTHS
A telescope consists of a convex lens (objective) of power 0.820 D and a second lens (eyepiece) as shown.
The objective produces an image at P. This image becomes the object of the eyepiece, which produces a final image at Q.
Show that the focal length of the objective lens is about 1200 mm.

Q34. ERROR AND UNCERTAINTY
A group of students was asked to find how the velocity of a cylindrical battery changes as it rolls down an inclined board.
The group marked the position of the battery on the board every second with an X.
(a) These markings were used to obtain the following results table.
(i) Complete the table.(3)
(ii) Justify which of the columns, A or B, gives a more accurate value for the velocity of the battery at the bottom of the inclined board.
