Version: 4 of 5 Answer Key

Subject: Combined Science (Physical Sciences)
Level: Secondary 3

Section A: Multiple Choice [10 marks]

Question	Answer	Explanation
1	C	The principle of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. In a closed system, the total energy remains constant. A and B violate this principle. D is incorrect as potential energy can exceed kinetic energy.
2	D	To measure speed (= distance/time), a stopwatch (time) and metre rule (distance) are needed. Markers help identify the start/stop position precisely. A measuring cylinder is for volume, and a beam balance measures mass, neither of which is needed for speed.
3	B	Using $E_p = mgh$ : $196 = 2 \times 9.8 \times h$ , so $h = \frac{196}{19.6} = 10$ m.
4	A	The engine burns fuel (chemical energy), converting it to kinetic energy of the train and thermal energy (waste heat). At constant speed on level track, kinetic energy is constant, so energy input balances energy losses.
5	A	For $s = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (or using energy methods), mass cancels out. Only height and time (plus diameter if using a trapdoor method) are relevant. Mass is not needed to find $g$ .
6	B	Kinetic energy is maximum when speed is maximum. At B (lowest point), all gravitational potential energy has converted to kinetic energy. At A and C, the bob is momentarily at rest ( $v = 0$ , so $E_k = 0$ ).
7	C	Work done $= F \times d = 50 \times 8 = 400$ J.
8	D	Energy $= P \times t = 800 \times (2.5 \times 60) = 800 \times 150 = 120\,000$ J. Critical step: convert minutes to seconds.
9	C	Force is a vector (has magnitude and direction). Energy, power, and time are scalar quantities.
10	C	$\Delta E_k = \frac{1}{2}m(v^2 - u^2) = \frac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times (30^2 - 10^2) = 500 \times (900 - 100) = 500 \times 800 = 400\,000$ J.

Section B: Structured Answers [32 marks]

Question 11 [7 marks]

(a) One variable kept constant: mass of the toy car / starting position on ramp / same ramp surface — any one accepted. [1]

Teaching note: In a fair test, only one variable (independent: height) should change. Mass affects inertia but not final speed in ideal conditions; however, keeping it constant ensures consistency.

(b) [3 marks]

By conservation of energy: $E_p$ at top $= E_k$ at bottom (ignoring friction)

$mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Mass cancels: $gh = \frac{1}{2}v^2$ [1 for stating principle/equating energies]

$10 \times 0.20 = \frac{1}{2}v^2$ [1 for correct substitution, noting $h = 0.20$ m]

$2.0 = \frac{1}{2}v^2$

$v^2 = 4.0$

$v = 2.0 \, \text{m s}^{-1}$ [1]

Common error: Forgetting to convert 20 cm to 0.20 m, giving $v = \sqrt{400} = 20$ m/s (implausible for a toy car).

(c) [2 marks]

Friction/air resistance acts against the motion [1]
Some initial gravitational potential energy is converted to thermal energy (and sound) in the surroundings, rather than all becoming kinetic energy [1]

Teaching note: Real systems are not closed. Energy is still conserved overall, but less becomes useful kinetic energy of the car.

(d) [1 mark]

Use a smoother ramp surface / lubricate wheels / reduce air resistance (e.g., streamlined shape) / use heavier car (reduces relative effect of air resistance)

Question 12 [9 marks]

(a) [2 marks]

Gravitational potential energy → kinetic energy of moving water [1]
Kinetic energy of water → kinetic energy of turbine → electrical energy (via generator) [1]

Teaching note: The generator converts mechanical rotation to electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.

(b) [3 marks]

Mass of water per minute: $m = \rho V = 1000 \times 250 = 250\,000$ kg [1]

$E_p = mgh = 250\,000 \times 10 \times 120$ [1 for correct substitution]

$E_p = 3.0 \times 10^8 \, \text{J}$ [1]

Unit consistency: $m^3 \times kg/m^3 = kg$ ; then $kg \times m/s^2 \times m = J$ .

(c) [2 marks]

Actual energy output $= 0.85 \times 3.0 \times 10^8 = 2.55 \times 10^8$ J [1]

$P = \frac{E}{t} = \frac{2.55 \times 10^8}{60} = 4.25 \times 10^6 \, \text{W} = 4.25$ MW [1]

Teaching note: Power is energy per unit time. The 85% efficiency means 15% is lost, mainly as thermal energy in turbine friction and generator resistance.

(d) [2 marks]

Renewable: Water cycle continuously replenishes reservoir supply (rain, rivers) → sustainable [1]
Negative impacts: Flooding of habitats/land for reservoir; disrupts downstream ecosystems; methane from rotting vegetation; displacement of communities [any one, 1 mark]

Question 13 [6 marks]

(a) [2 marks]

$E_p = mgh = 60 \times 10 \times 12$ [1]

$= 7200 \, \text{J}$ [1]

(b) [2 marks]

$P = \frac{E}{t} = \frac{7200}{8.0}$ [1]

$= 900 \, \text{W}$ [1]

(c) [2 marks]

Muscles also do work against air resistance / internal friction in body [1]
Energy is also converted to thermal energy (body heat) during metabolic processes; not all chemical energy from food becomes mechanical work [1]

Teaching note: Human efficiency is typically 20-25%. The 900 W is mechanical power output; actual metabolic power is much higher.

Question 14 [9 marks]

(a) [2 marks]

$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{6 - 0}{4 - 0} = \frac{6}{4}$ [1]

$= 1.5 \, \text{m s}^{-2}$ [1]

Direction note: Since velocity is positive (upward assumed), this is upward acceleration.

(b) [2 marks]

$F = ma = 500 \times 1.5$ [1]

$= 750 \, \text{N upward}$ [1]

Teaching note: Since the lift is accelerating upward, tension > weight. The resultant force is $T - mg = ma$ , so $T = m(g+a)$ .

(c) [2 marks]

Constant velocity (or steady speed, no acceleration) [1]
At constant velocity, tension equals weight (zero resultant force, Newton's First Law) [1]

(d) [3 marks]

Distance = area under v-t graph:

Phase AB: triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 6 = 12$ m [1]

Phase BC: rectangle = $6 \times 6 = 36$ m [1]

Phase CD: triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 6 = 12$ m

Total = $12 + 36 + 12 = 60$ m [1]

Question 15 [7 marks]

(a) [1 mark]

Efficiency = $\frac{\text{useful energy output (light)}}{\text{total electrical energy input}} \times 100\%$

Teaching note: For lamps, "useful" is light; "wasted" is thermal energy.

(b) [2 marks]

$E_{input} = VIt = 12 \times 0.5 \times 60$ [1]

$= 360 \, \text{J}$ [1]

Alternative: $P = VI = 6$ W, then $E = 6 \times 60 = 360$ J.

(c) [2 marks]

$\eta = \frac{180}{360} \times 100\%$ [1]

$= 50\%$ [1]

(d) [2 marks]

Longer lifetime / more durable (less frequent replacement) [1]
Lower operating temperature / reduced fire risk / smaller energy bill / reduced carbon footprint (any valid point) [1]

Section C: Data Analysis and Extended Response [18 marks]

Question 16 [8 marks]

(a) [1 mark]

From graph: when $x = 0.08$ m, $E = 0.64$ J (accept 0.60–0.68 J with tolerance for reading)

(b) [3 marks]

Hypothesis: $E \propto x^2$ , meaning $E/x^2$ should be constant.

Using $(0.04, 0.16)$ : $\frac{E}{x^2} = \frac{0.16}{(0.04)^2} = \frac{0.16}{0.0016} = 100$ [1]

Using $(0.10, 1.00)$ : $\frac{E}{x^2} = \frac{1.00}{(0.10)^2} = \frac{1.00}{0.0100} = 100$ [1]

Ratio is constant (100) for both points, supporting the hypothesis. [1]

Teaching note: You can use any two points. The ratio $E/x^2 = k/2$ where $k = 50$ N/m gives 25... wait, let me check: actually $\frac{1}{2}k = 25$ , so $E/x^2 = 25$ ? The values given in the graph seem to have $E/x^2 = 100$ ? Let me recalculate: at $x=0.10$ , $E=\frac{1}{2}(50)(0.10)^2 = 25 \times 0.01 = 0.25$ J. But graph says 1.00 J. This suggests the graph uses different units or the spring constant verification in (c) will show consistency with the formula. Actually re-reading: the spring constant is given as 50, and the formula is $E = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$ . For the graph values to match: at $x=0.10$ , $E=1.00$ requires $\frac{1}{2}k \times 0.01 = 1.00$ , so $k = 200$ N/m? There's inconsistency in my quick design. Let me recalculate properly for the answer key:

Actually in the question, $k = 50$ N m⁻¹. At $x = 0.10$ m: $E = \frac{1}{2}(50)(0.10)^2 = 25 \times 0.01 = 0.25$ J. But I wrote graph value 1.00 J. This is inconsistent. I need to fix this in verification.

Self-correction for published answer key: The graph values should show $E = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$ with $k = 50$ N/m: at $x=0.02$ : $E = 25 \times 0.0004 = 0.01$ J; at $x=0.10$ : $E = 25 \times 0.01 = 0.25$ J. My original graph values were off by factor of 4. Since I cannot modify the exam paper now, I'll note: the graph values in the question show $E/x^2 = 100$ , suggesting an effective constant of 200 N/m, or the $k=50$ refers to a different spring system. For marking, accept method marks for correct proportionality test regardless of numerical values.

Corrected approach for student understanding: The method is what matters—test if $E/x^2$ is constant. [Full marks for correct method]

(c) [2 marks]

Using point $(0.10, 1.00)$ from graph: [Note: this should be $(0.10, 0.25)$ for $k=50$ ]

Corrected: Using $(0.08, 0.64)$ with $k=50$ : Self-correction: Even this gives $E = 25 \times 0.0064 = 0.16$ J, not 0.64.

I need to be honest about the error in my generated content. The answer key should:

Flag: There appears to be an inconsistency between the graph values and stated $k=50$ N/m. The graph shows $E \propto x^2$ with proportionality constant 100, i.e., $E = 100x^2$ , which would correspond to $\frac{1}{2}k = 100$ , so $k = 200$ N/m.

For assessment purposes, students who identify this inconsistency and show correct verification method should receive full credit. [2 marks for correct verification using any consistent data point]

Verification with graph data: At $x = 0.10$ m, $E = 1.00$ J. Formula gives: if we use the graph's implied $k = 200$ N/m: $\frac{1}{2}(200)(0.10)^2 = 100 \times 0.01 = 1.00$ J ✓

(d) [2 marks]

<image_placeholder> id: Q16-ans-fig1 type: graph linked_question: Q16(d) description: Same axes with original curve and steeper curve labeled "stiffer spring" labels: x (m), E (J), original spring, stiffer spring must_show: Both curves parabolic through origin, steeper spring curve above original at all x>0 </image_placeholder>

Stiffer spring has larger $k$ , so $E = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$ gives more energy for same extension [1]
Sketch shows steeper curve (larger gradient), still passing through origin, above original curve [1]

Question 17 [10 marks]

(a) [3 marks]

By conservation of energy ( $E_p$ lost = $E_k$ gained, assuming no friction):

$mgh_A = \frac{1}{2}mv_B^2$ [1 for stating principle]

Mass cancels: $gh_A = \frac{1}{2}v_B^2$

$10 \times 25 = \frac{1}{2}v_B^2$ [1 for substitution]

$250 = \frac{1}{2}v_B^2$

$v_B^2 = 500$

$v_B = \sqrt{500} = 10\sqrt{5} \approx 22.4 \, \text{m s}^{-1}$ [1, accept 22–23 m/s]

(b) [2 marks]

Friction/air resistance acts on the car and track [1]
Some energy is converted to thermal energy and sound, so less kinetic energy at B than theoretical maximum [1]

(c) [4 marks]

Energy at C: $E_C = mgh_C + \frac{1}{2}mu^2 = (800 \times 10 \times 15) + \frac{1}{2}(800)u^2 = 120\,000 + 400u^2$

Energy needed at D (minimum, i.e., arriving with $v \approx 0$ ): $E_D = mgh_D = 800 \times 10 \times 18 = 144\,000$ J

At rest at C: $E_C = 120\,000$ J < $E_D = 144\,000$ J [1 for showing inequality]

Insufficient by $24\,000$ J. [1]

To just reach D with zero speed: need total energy at C = 144,000 J

$120\,000 + 400u^2 = 144\,000$ [1]

$400u^2 = 24\,000$

$u^2 = 60$

$u = \sqrt{60} \approx 7.75 \, \text{m s}^{-1}$ (accept 7.7–7.8 m/s) [1]

(d) [3 marks]

At the top of the loop, two forces act on passengers: weight ( $mg$ downward) and normal force from seat (also downward, pushing passenger into seat) [1]
For circular motion, centripetal force is required, directed toward center of circle (downward): $F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}$ [1]
If $\frac{mv^2}{r} \geq mg$ , i.e., $v \geq \sqrt{gr} = \sqrt{10 \times 8} \approx 8.9$ m/s, the seat pushes down on the passengers, keeping them in place. They don't fall because they're in free fall around the loop—the track provides the centripetal acceleration, not because gravity "disappears." [1]

Common misconception: "Centrifugal force pushes them out" is wrong in inertial frames. It's the normal force from the secured seat providing the necessary downward centripetal force.
