Two twin brothers, Micheal and Jackson, of the same size, are swinging happily on the swings at a playground as shown in the figure above. However, the ropes that is holding the swing where Micheal is sitting is longer than Jacksons. And, Micheal notices that his swing is swinging slower than his brother, Jackson. Using this information; (a) make a suitable inference, [1 mark] (b) state one appropriate hypothesis that could be investigated, [1 mark] (c) describe how you would design an experiment to test your hypothesis using a bob, strings and other apparatus. In your description, state clearly the following: (i) aim of the experiment (ii) variables in the experiment (iii) list of apparatus and materials (iv)arrangement of the apparatus (v) the procedure of the experiment, which includes the method of controlling the manipulated variable and the method of measuring the responding variable.

1. A student carries out an experiment to find out the relationship between the change in length, y, of a spring and mass, m, of the load on the spring. The arrangement of the apparatus for the experiment is shown in Figure 1. The length of the spring when a load is placed on the piston is l.

Obj110

At the beginning of the experiment there is no load. The length of the spring is lo. The actual length of lo is shown in Figure 2. The experiment is repeated by using loads with mass, m, equal to 0.5 kg, 1.0 kg, 1.5 kg, 2.0 kg, 2.5 kg. The actual lengths of the spring when the different masses are used are shown in Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7 on the next page.

(b) Measure lo shown in Figure 2 on page 2 lo = . Measure the lengths l of the spring in Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7 when different load are used.

In each case, calculate the change in length, y, of the spring where:

y = (lo- l)

Tabulate your results for m, l and y in the space below.
