11.1 A teacher in a science class explains how different types of spectra are obtained. The teacher uses the simplified diagrams shown below for the explanation. Name the type of spectrum of: 11.1.1 Y (1) 11.1.2 Z (1) 11.2 In an excited atom, electrons can ‘jump’ from lower energy levels to higher energy levels. They … Read more
10.1 The diagram below shows different positions (ABCDA) of the coil in a DC generator for a complete revolution. The coil is rotated clockwise at a constant speed in a uniform magnetic field. The direction of the magnetic field is shown in the diagram below. 10.1.1 Write down the energy conversion that takes place during … Read more
9.1 Learners investigated the relationship between potential difference (V) and current (I) for the combination of two resistors, R1 and R2. In one experiment, resistors R1 and R2 were connected in parallel. In a second experiment, resistors R1 and R2 were connected in series. The learners then plotted graph X, the results of one of … Read more
A and B are two small spheres separated by a distance of 0,70 m. Sphere A carries a charge of +1,5 x 10-6 C and sphere B carries a charge of -2,0 x 10-6 C. P is a point between spheres A and B and is 0,40 m from sphere A, as shown in the … Read more
Two small spheres, X and Y, carrying charges of +6 x 10-6 C and +8 x 10-6 C respectively, are placed 0,20 m apart in air. 7.1 State Coulomb’s law in words. (2) 7.2 Calculate the magnitude of the electrostatic force experienced by charged sphere X. (4) A third sphere, Z, of unknown negative charge, … Read more
A police car moving at a constant velocity with its siren on, passes a stationary listener. The graph below shows the changes in the frequency of the sound of the siren detected by the listener. 6.1 State the Doppler Effect in words. (2) 6.2 Write down the frequency of the sound detected by the listener … Read more
In the diagram below, a 4 kg block lying on a rough horizontal surface is connected to a 6 kg block by a light inextensible string passing over a light frictionless pulley. Initially the blocks are HELD AT REST. 5.1 State the work-energy theorem in words. (2) When the blocks are released, the 6 kg … Read more
A 2 kg block is at rest on a smooth, frictionless, horizontal table. The length of theblock is x. A bullet of mass 0,015 kg, travelling east at 400 m∙s-1, strikes the block and passes straight through it with constant acceleration. Refer to the diagram below. Ignore any loss of mass of the bullet and … Read more
