(3 marks)

(c) Data given

p.d = 2V
Capacitance = 25μf (25 x 10-6f)
Required: charge, q
Soln.
From charge = CV
Charge = 25 x 10-6f x 2V
‫ ؞‬Charge = 50 x 10-6C. (50μC) (5 marks)
4. (a) - It helps to study how to control tiny particles like electrons and protons led to the
discovery of electronics.
- It helps to study the use of machines in hospitals for diagnosis and treatment of
diseases
- By applying use of equipment such as computers, photocopy machines, printers,
projector e.t.c. at school.

(b) Data given
Main scale reading = 3.4cm
Least count (L.C) = 0.01cm
Vernier coincidence = 6
Soln
Reading = main scale + vernier coincidence x L.C
= (3.4 + 6 x 0.01)cm
= 3.46cm
Correct reading = reading – zero error
= 3.46 – (-0.03)
= 3.46 + 0.03
‫ ؞‬The correct reading = 3.49cm (4 marks)
(c) - Fill a graduated cylinder with about one – quarter of water
- Carefully measure the initial volume of water, V1
- Then gently lower the stone into the water
- Read the final of water, V2
- The difference between the final and initial volume gives the volume of the stone
i.e. Volume of stone, V = final volume – initial volume
V = V2 – V1 (3 marks)
5. (a) This is because steel ball has large density than water but steel ship has low density than
water. (2 marks)
(b) It is because hydrometer sinks more in less denser liquid than in more denser
Liquid. (2 marks)
(c) soln.
Volume of liquid Y = 25cm3
Mass of empty beaker = 500g
Mass of beaker + liquid, Y = 600g
Therefore:
Mass of liquid Y = 600g – 500g = 100g
Mass of liquid
From density of liquid =
Volume of liquid
100 g
= 3
25 cm
= 4g/cm3
‫ ؞‬Density of liquid Y is 4g/cm3 (6 marks)
6. (a) This is because wooden floor allows longer time of impact and therefore a lesser force of
impact than in a concrete floor. (2 marks)
(b) Science is the study of laws of nature while technology is the application of these laws
for general well – being of human race. (2 marks)
(c) Let we be the weight on earth
i.e. we = mege
where me be the mass of rocket on earth
we 10,000 N
me = ¿
10 N /kg
me = 1000kg.
Let wx be the weight of rocket on planet x
Thus wx = mx gx
Page 2 of 5
Here mx = me
wx
gx =
me
300 N
=
1000 kg
Gx = 0.3N/kg
‫ ؞‬The acceleration due to gravity on planet x is 0.3N/kg. (6 marks)
3
7. (a) This means that the mass per unit volume of water is 1000kg/m (2 marks)
(b) - It is applied in magnetic recording media
- It is applied in credit, debit and ATM cards
- It is applied in speakers and microphones
- it is applied in electromagnets
- It is applied in moving coil meters
- It is applied in electric generators (1 mark each)
(c) Every piece of a bar magnet would become a magnet with its own North Pole and South
Pole. (3 marks)

8. (a) - The resultant force acting on the body must be zero (no unbalanced forces)
- The sum of clockwise moments about any point must be equal to the sum of
anticlockwise moments about the point. (1 mark each)

(b) So as to increase the turning effect of the force since the perpendicular distance would be
increase hence less force is applied on opening the door. (2 marks)

(c)

80cm

50cm
65cm 15cm

−3
120 x 10 kg
The rod’s weight W = =1.2 N
10 N /kg
From principle of moments
wd1 = Wd2 if w be the weight hung.
W d2
w=
d1
1.2 N x 0.15 m
=
0.5 m
W = 0.36N
Since w = mg
w
m=
g
0.36 N
m=
10 N /kg
m = 0.036kg
Page 3 of 5
‫ ؞‬The mass required would be 0.036kg or 36g. (6 marks)

9. (a) When the object moves in a straight line in the same direction. (3 marks)
(b) This is because the resultant cohesive force is much larger than the resultant adhesive
force.
Therefore mercury does not spread over glass; it forms into little drops when split on
the glass. (3 marks)
(c) No, it is because speed is ratio of distance to the time taken and distance can never
be negative. (4 marks)

SECTION C; (15 Marks)

10. (a) - It is basically an attractive force.
- It is a short – range force (operates in a distance ranging from 0.7fm to 2.5fm
- It is a non – central force (does not originate from the centre)
- It is stronger than gravitational force
- It does not depend on charges of object. (1 mark each)
(b) (i) Potential energy

Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy (rotation)

Electrical energy. (3 marks0

(ii) For resistor M and 6Ω
Mx6
Re =
M +6
Now
2Ω Re

ReT = 2 + Re
Mx6
4=2+
m+6
6M
=2
M+6
6M = 2(M + 6)
6M = 2M + 12
4M = 12
M = 3Ω
‫ ؞‬The value of M resistor is 3Ω (3 marks)

(c) The Kinetic theory of matter describes the physical properties of matter in terms of the
behaviour of its components atoms or molecules. It states that:
“All matters are made up of very small particles that are in constant motion”.

Page 4 of 5
- The more heat energy the particle possesses the faster they move.
- Hence this theory explains the properties of solid, liquid and gaseous. (4 marks)
