1. While underwater a diver releases an air bubble of volume 6.50 × 10–8 m3. At the point of release
the pressure is 8.55 × 105 Pa and the temperature of the sea is 5.0 °C. The bubble rises to the surface
where the temperature of the sea is 20.0 °C.
(a) As the bubble rises, the mass of air in the bubble remains constant. Calculate the volume of the
bubble as it reaches the surface of the sea. Assume the air behaves as an ideal gas.
atmospheric pressure = 1.01 × 105 Pa (2 marks)
(b) Explain why the actual volume of the bubble as it reaches the surface would be less than the
volume calculated. (3 marks)

(a) State two advantages in connecting the light bulbs in parallel instead of in series. (2 marks)
(ii) the total current drawn from the mains supply. (2 marks)
(c) Is a 3-A fuse suitable for this circuit? Explain briefly. (2 marks)
In the tube the path of a beam of electrons can be observed on a grid. The grid is positioned between
two metal plates with a potential difference (p.d.) across them.
(a) Complete the diagram to show the electric field between the plates. (2 marks)
(b) The electron beam undergoes a vertical deflection of 2.0 cm, after travelling a horizontal
distance of 8.0 cm.
p.d. across plates = 1.50 kV
distance between plates = 5.0 cm
(i) Show that the electric force acting on each electron is about 5 × 10-15 N. (2 marks)
(iii) Calculate the speed with which the electrons entered the electric field. (1 mark)
(c) In another demonstration, a magnetic field of flux density B is applied to the grid. This time
the electrons enter the fields with a velocity of 2.4 × 107 m s–1. The p.d. across the plates is
changed so that the electric field is in the same direction as before, but so its strength is now
25 000 N C–1. B is varied until the electron beam shows no overall deflection.

(a) When light from a car headlamp is incident normally on the reflector, red light is reflected
back to the driver. The reflector is made of a layer of red transparent plastic with the
inner side in prismatic shape (Figure b). The refractive index of the red plastic is 1.46.

In Figure a, tower cranes are commonly used at construction sites to lift heavy objects. A tower
crane consists of two major structures: the vertical tall tower and the horizontal jib. A freely
movable trolley is placed on the jib and the object to be lifted can be attached onto a hook
hanged from the trolley. A counterweight is placed at one end of the jib to keep it balanced.

Figure a
The hook is connected to the trolley by pulleys and a steel cable. The pulley system is
designed in a way that the object can be lifted with a force smaller than its weight. In the
pulley system as shown in Figure b, the force needed to lift the object is about one-fourth of its
weight.

(a) Suppose the crane shown in Figure b is used to lift an object upwards at a constant speed.
Let m be the total mass of the hook and the object.
(i) The figure below shows the hook together with the object. Draw the external forces

You may assume that the pulleys are smooth. (3 marks)
(b) Figure c shows the simplified structure of the top part of a tower crane. The tall tower and
the jib are assumed to be hinged smoothly at O. The jib has a mass of 12300 kg and its
centre of gravity is located at G. The mass of the counterweight is 18000 kg. The total
mass of the trolley, the hook and the attached object is 2500 kg.
