Accuracy = 3 %
3% of 327.66 is almost equal to 10. Therefore the value should be nearest 10th which is 330m/s.
Answer is C

Overall resistance in circuit X is 3.5 Ohm while in circuit Y it is 5.0 Ohm.
p.d of battery V = 1.5V
Let p.d across 3.0 Ohm resistor be Va in circuit X and that in circuit Y Vb
Va= Ra/Rtotal x V
Therefore for circuit X....... Va = 3/3.5 x 1.5 = 1.29V
for circuit Y ....... Vb = 3/5 x 1.5 = 0.9V
1.29 > 0.9 -----> p.d in X is greater than p.d in Y across 3.0 Ohm resistor.
This eliminates answers C and D.
P = V2/R
For circuit X.......P = 1.292/3 = 0.55W
For circuit Y.......P = 0.92/3 = 0.27W
Therefore power dissipated in X is greater than that dissipated in Y across 3.0 Ohm resistor.
Answer is B.

26. Energy per unit time (E) = Power(P) = Intensity x Area
Intensity(I) being proportional to the square of the amplitude (A2)
P = IS = A2S
By doubling the amplitude the power is multiplied by 4 (22) but since area is halved power is halved too.
Net power developed hence turns out to be twice the previous power (2E)
Answer is B
29. The acceleration of an electron is always opposite to the direction of the electric field.
Answer is D

Ok........i'll take the E.M.F to be 12V.
First calculate the overall resistance across the circuit. It will come out to 3.Ohm. (If you cant figure it out, let me know).
Now we can find the current flowing through the circuit using R = 3.0 and E.M.F = 12
I = V/R = 12/3 = 4.0A
I'll take the second loop first. Since both resistance are identical (2.0 Ohm) the current will just be divided by two according to Kirchoff's current law. Hence I2 = 2.0A
Now back to the first loop. Voltage across both resistances is constant. Therefore I is inversely proportional to R.
I1R1 = I2R2
I1/I2 = R2/R1 = 6/3 = 2
In other words I1 = 2I2
Since I1 + I2 = 4.0 ------> I1 turns out to be 2.67A.
Hence I1 > I2
Total resistance in loop 1 being greater will require more voltage. therefore V1 > V2
Answer is A

You need to plot a Velocity against time graph to be able to understand that. You'll see that you will obtain a straight line graph with a constant negative gradient as air resistance is being neglected.
Gradient = g = -9.81 m/s2
Answer is B
Hope i've been of help. If you have any doubt, do ask. I'll try to elaborate more.

@Deadly_king
Thank you so much, i really appreciate it. I got the calculation for Nov 03, No 34 correct! i am so poor at that.. +rep!!
I am preparing for my AS this OCT and its school holiday in my country here, couldn't believe that you solved the questions so fast.

Its ok dear..........am actually sitting for A2 this october. so am bound to be more prepared than you :P
Try to practice more papers......am sure you'll perform well then!

I have another question, Nov 2005 Q 37 (the "light level" part)
As light intensity increases the resistance of the LED decreases.
This is the only thing you need to remember about LED. Just memorize that and you'll be able to do every question about it :)
Since resistance of LED decreases the voltage across it will increase as voltage is inversely proportional to its resistance.
I believe you understood the temperature part.
Answer is C

But deadly_king, why is the answer low light level..? as you said the voltage increase, when resistance decrease- where the light intensity increase.. shouldn't it be high light level..? its there something wrong with my english that i misunderstood the answer?
-
Sorry to bother anyone, but i cannot get the answer for June 2006 33,34 and 37. Any help will be greatly appreciated..

Actually i made a small mistake. I apologise for that. seems you understood well :)
V = IR.........Voltage is directly proportional to resistance.
let me clear your mind.
The questions ask when both readings on VT and VL are high.
When VL is high.........the resistance of the LED should be high. For the resistance to be high the light intensity should be low.
-
May i ask why "When VL is high.........the resistance of the LED should be high." ?
-
May i ask why "When VL is high.........the resistance of the LED should be high." ?
This is because the voltage VL is directly proportional to the resistance of the LDR.
The equation V = IR proves that.
Voltage = Current x Resistance
*Another mistake.......its LDR......not LED!

Hmm.......I wont b able to explain you today.
Am pretty much busy especially with Eid and all that.......i even have tuitions :P
Sorry for any inconvenience.........but i promise i'll answer your questions on sunday :)
Hope you understand :)

6. Acceleration is perpendicular to the motion. We can conclude that he is talking about centripetal acceleration whereby the acceleration and the force are directed towards the center of the motion while velocity varies continuously. However speed remains constant but direction channges. this causes velocity to change.
Answer is C
14. Moment is defined as the turning effect from a point obtained from the product of the force to its perpendicular distance applied from the point.
Taking moments about the point where the ladder touches the vertical wall
Clockwise moments = Anticlockwise moments
W x a + F x h = W x 2a
Wa + Fh = 2Wa
Answer is A
22. Since it has exceeded the elastic limit there should have been plastic deformation only. However the examinator's report highlights that the limit of proportionality is not the same as the elastic limit. In other words it is referring X as the limit of proportionality and Y as the elastic limit.
Therefore if that is the case......the deformation would be only elastic.
Answer is B
26. Intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude(a2). It has been give that it is also inversely proportional to x2where x is the distance from the source.
Hence a2 is inversely proportional to x2. In other words a2x2 = constant term.
a12x12 = a22x22
(8.0)2 x (r)2 = A x (2r)2
therefore A = 4
Answer is D
30. At the point where the electron leaves the field.........resolve horizontally. I'll take pheta as a..
You'll get U = vcos a. Hence V =u/cos a.
Answer is A
31. Since the oil droplet gained 5 electrons its net charge became q = 5(1.6 x 10-19)
Electric force = F = qV/d where q is the net charge, V is the potential difference across the plates and d is the distance between the plates.
F = 5(1.6 x 10-19) x 5000/(0.8 x 10 -2)
F =5.0 x 10 -13 N
The droplet remains stationary implies the electric force is contering weight. Since weight acts downwards the electric force must be acting upwards.
Answer is C
