Notes for some specific questions:

3 - Ans: D. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 1117 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 240 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2016/07/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-240.html}




4 – Ans: B. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 287 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 48 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2015/01/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-48.html}



5 – Ans: B.
A mass is dropped from rest, and falls through a distance of 2.0 m in a vacuum. An observer records the time taken for the mass to fall through this distance using a manually operated stopwatch and repeats the measurements a further two times.


6 - Ans: A.
The diagram shows two complete pulses on the screen of a cathode-ray oscilloscope. A grid of 1 cm squares covers the screen.


7 - Ans: A. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 518 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 101 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2015/04/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-101.html}



8 – Ans: D.
9 – Ans: A. Brick is falling, so height decreases with time. [C and D are incorrect] Gradient of the graph gives speed of fall of brick. Due to gravity, there is an acceleration of 9.81ms-2, so speed keeps on increasing until it reaches the ground. So, gradient is not constant. [B is incorrect]

31 - Ans: C. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 678 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 137 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2015/05/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-137.html}

33 – Ans: D. R=ρL/A.  A is incorrect since the charged particles (ions and electrons) are already present in the wire. B is incorrect because the wire with the smaller diameter, and hence, smaller cross-sectional area resulting in a higher resistance. So, for same current to flow in both of them [I=V/R], a larger potential difference should be applied to the smaller wire, causing the average velocity of the charged particles to be faster in the smaller wire. C incorrect because larger diameter > smaller resistance > smaller pd required > less energy provided to charged particles.



35 - Ans: D. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 364 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 65 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2015/02/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-65.html}

  1. Explanation for Qu8 is already available above.

    18 – Ans: D. Power produced by generator = VI = 230 x 32 = 7360W. Power = Work done / time. Taking KE = PE. Power available in water = mgh / t = (m/t)gh = (200)x9.81x8 = 15696W. Efficiency = 7360/15696 = 0.468 = 47%.

  6. Q36 solution please?

  7. For question 13, why are we subtracting the fricition from the 2kg box's weight?whereas the friction is acting on the 8kg box?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The 8kg box and the 2kbg box form part of a single system. If the friction on the 8kg box is greater, this also causes the 2kg box to fall with a smaller acceleration, and if it is large enough, the 2kg may even remain still.

      + it is NOT being subtracted from the 2kg box. The weight of the 2kg box causes an acceleration downwards, and on the horizontal surface, this acceleration is to the right. Friction, which opposes motion, is to the left.

      So, both are forces that area acting on the whole system

  8. Can you provide a diagram from q 15. It's confusing, where exactly is the torque acting?
    I mean, how does the clockwise direction maintain equilibrium? I don't get it.

  12. Question 16, why is it not C? Initial acceleration should be 9.81ms^-2 right? And then this decreases as the speed increases since resultant forces (viscous drag) increase so the gradient should fall. Also, when do we know if value of g is positive or negative?

  13. October/November 2012 paper13 qu25. Could you please explain this question? I found D as the answer by finding the spring constant of each wire and then multiplying it by 2 since the lift is supported by two cables in parallel and then substituted my values in E=kL/A, where A is the total cross sectional area of both wires. It is the wrong answer, however.
