. Hence scale is more sensitive when the petrol tank is about empty. 2(a) Refer to notes V 210 = = d 1.5 x10 2 (c)(i) Electric force on electron F = qE = eE = Apply F = ma = mea, a = Direction: vertically upwards (ii) For motion parallel to the length of plates, velocity is constant. Applying s = vt, 12.0 x 10-2 = (5.0 x 107)t t= (d) For the time calculated in (c)(ii) above, determine the vertical distance y travelled by the electron. For motion perpendicular to the plates, acceleration is constant. Apply s = ut + at2 s = y, uy = 0, a = ,t= Hence y = If y < 0.75 cm, electron will emerge from plates. If y > 0.75 cm, electron will hit the top plate.

(ii) tan = 5(a)(i) Refer to notes (ii) Refer to notes (b)(i) At antinodes, intensity of waves is maximum. Amplitude of oscillation of the air layers is maximum. Movement of air layers is large. Dust is blown off by the moving air. Hence there is no dust collected at the antinodes. The dust is blown away to the positions of nodes, at which the air layers are not moving. Hence the dust collects in heaps at the nodes. (ii) Positions of heaps = position of nodes Distance between successive nodes, d = 39.0 For 6 nodes, d = . 5 39.0 Wavelength = 2d = 2 x = 5 Speed v = f = (2.14 x 103) x (c) Stationary wave is formed when 2 identical progressive waves of the same wavelength, frequency, amplitude and speed but travelling in the opposite directions, meet in space. The speed of the wave referred to that of the progressive waves mentioned which form the stationary wave. 6(a)(i) 1. Total resistance R = 0.10 + 0.060 = 0.160 2.
