PLK Vicwood K.T. Chong Sixth Form College 82' AL Physics: Structural Questions Marking Scheme

1. This document contains the marking scheme and solutions for an 82' AL Physics exam on structural questions. It includes 8 questions on topics like spacecraft motion, conservation of momentum, gas laws, Doppler shift, optics, thin films, and RC circuits. 2. The questions cover calculating changes in kinetic and potential energy for spacecraft escape, applying conservation principles to collisions, determining temperature changes from heating gases, using the Doppler effect to calculate velocities, applying laws of refraction and thin film interference, and analyzing RC circuits. 3. Marking schemes and solutions are provided for each sub-part of each multi-part question.

(a) Because spacecraft moves against the gravitational force of attraction


between the earth and the spacecraft. (or equivalent answer)

(b) Change in p.e. = - change in k.e.

= 1.51 1012 J

(c) (i) The magnitude of the intercept represents the extra initial
k.e. on blast-off for the spacecraft to escape from the
earths gravitational field.

(b) Temperature rise will be smaller. Nitrogen is a diatomic gas and will
possess internal energy stored as rotation/vibration of its molecules,
as well as translational K.E. The initial energy goes to these other
forms and less will go to translational K.E.

Frequency of local oscillator is 2000 Hz below the signal frequency of


satellite.

(c) If direct measurement were made, the oscillator frequency would have
to be measured to a much higher degree of accuracy.

(a)

sin 38 = 1.45 sin

(b) Consider optical fibre to be made up of many infinitestimal layers


// to axis.
Using
n1 sin i1 = n2 sin i2
1.45 sin 64.9 = n2 sin 90
= 1.45 - 0.09 r
Solve for r,
r = 1.52 mm

(c) There would be less energy loss in an optical fibre.
