Suggested answer
9 (a) (i) 1 Pressure is defined as force per unit area
P=F/A, where F= force, A=area
(ii) 1

1
Depth of singking in Diagram 9.1 is deeper than in
Diagram 9.2
The weight/load of the man in Diagram 9.2 and
Diagram 9.1 is equal
Area of contact with the sand in Diagram 9.2 is
larger than in Diagram 9.1
(iii) 1
1
The depth of sinking increases, pressure increases
As the area of contact increases, the pressure
exerted decreases

The fan blows /remove/push/force air out the
vents

Produce a partial vacuum area in the vacuum
cleaner/low pressure

Atmospheric pressure is higher than the pressure
inside the vacuum cleaner/Difference in pressure


Push the dirt into the vacuum

Question 9
Suggestion Rationale
1
Type of fluid
Oil
2 Incompressible/ No air
bubble/Cannot be
compress/water produce air
bubble

Any 5
correct
3
Characteristic of fluid
High boiling point/ Low
density/ High viscosity
4
Does not change to gases state
easily/lighter/Less
friction/Does not evaporate
easily
5
Size of the master piston
Small
6
To produce high pressure/small
force used
7
Size of slave piston
Big
8
To produce a big force on the
disc/ Force is directly
proportional to area
9
Material for fluid
transmission pipe
Plastic/ Aluminium / Steel
10 Strong/ Does not break
easily/Does not rust easily/
Non corrosive/withstand
temperature/prevent leakage

11 (a) (i) 1 Two bodies are said to be in thermal equilibrium
when
Both bodies are at the same temperature/ The net
heat flow between the two bodies is zero/
There is no net heat flow between them
(ii) 1

1
Heat flows from hot water to thermometer
Achieve thermal equilibrium
Temperature of water is the same as temperature
shown by thermometer
No more heat flows at 100

Heat released by M = Heat absorbed by water



Substitution:
(0.5) (800)(100-T)= (0.2)(4200)(T-30)



T= 52.58

(ii) 1 No heat is lost to the surrounding
Question 11
11 (c)
Characteristics Explanation
Hollow plastic stopper Bad conductor of heat /Reduce
heat loss/bad conductor/good
insulator/reduce heat escape to
the surrounding/Trapped air
Space X is vacuum Prevent heat lost from the sides
through convection/heat cannot
travel through vaccum
Double walled tube made of glass High specific heat capacity/
Becomes hot very slowly
Double walled tube coated by shiny
paint
Reflect heat from the wall of
thermos flask/not absorb heat
The most suitable is W Because
Hollow plastic stopper, space X
is vacuum, double walled tube
made of glass and coated by
shiny paint
12 (a) (i) 1
Work done in moving one coulomb of charge from
one point to another /

Energy dissipated per unit charge by the resistor /
V= E/Q, E= work done, Q= quantity of charge
(b) (ii) 1

1
When I increases, V increases

The resistance increases

Because temperature increases
(iii) 1 Decrease
Section C (Decision Making Skill) ( Section C: Question 12 )
12 (c)
Characteristics Explanation
Shape of filament wire
Coiled
So that a very long wire can be
fitted inside the glass bulb to
give out a bright light /
High resistance
Thickness of the filament wire
Thin
To give more resistance per unit
length/
More heat
Type of wire
Tungsten
Has high melting point/
Does not break easily
Pressure in the bulb
Low pressure
The bulb will not burst/explode
after for a long time
The most suitable is R Because
Coiled , thin wire, nitrogen at
low pressure

Correct substitution
I= P/V
= 11/240
=0.046 A/ 0.05 A
(ii) 1

Heat loss= 11J -10 J=1J
