PHYSICS - PAPER 3 - MARKING SCHEME

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER – 2022

ARISE AND SHINE TRIAL 1 EXAMINATION 2022


PART A
1. You are provided with the following apparatus:
 Helical spring with pointer
 One clamp, one stand and one boss
 A stop watch
 One 50g mass
 Two 100g masses

Proceed as follows;

(i) Suspend the spring vertically alongside a clamped metre rule as shown in the diagram so
that the pointer slide along the millimeter scale of the metre rule as shown in the figure
below.

(ii) Measure the length L of the unloaded spring.


L0 = 40.8cm (At least 1d.p) (use student values. Any length within the metre rule)

(iii) Attach a mass of 100g on the spring and measure the new length L of the spring.
Record this in the table. (5
marks)

PART B
(i) Using the same set up in part A above, attach the 100g on the spring and support it to stop
oscillating.
(ii) Pull the mass through a small distance vertically downwards and release it to make
vertical oscillations and record the time for 10 oscillations and determine the periodic
time(s).

(iii) Hence complete the table to get T2(S2) and the value of K = where
T 2(S 2)
M = mass used and T2(S2) is its periodic time T squared.

PART C
You are provided with the following:
 A metre rule
 Complete stand
 One 50g mass and a 100g mass
 Three pieces of thread 30cm each
 Some water in a beaker
 Liquid L in a beaker
 Tissue paper

Proceed with the experiment as follows:


(i) Balance the meter rule on the stand and record the reading at this point.
Balance point = 50.0 ± 0.1cm ✔1 1 d.p

@Copyright Arise and Shine Trial Exam - 2022 Page 2


(For the rest of the experiment, the balancing thread must be placed at this position)

(ii) Set up the apparatus as shown in the figure 4 below;


Use the thread provided to hang the masses such that the positions of the support can be
adjusted.

The balance point is attained by adjusting the position of the 100g mass. Note that the
distance X and D are measured from the supporting string and the 50g mass is fully
submerged in water.

Record the values of X and D.


X =17.5 ± 1.0cm ✔1 1 d.p is a must
D = 40.0 ± 1.0cm✔1 1 d.p is a must
Apply the principle of moments to determine the weight W1 of the 50g mass in water and
hence determine the upthrust Uw in water.
1 x 175 = w1x40 ✔½
W1 = 0.4375n ✔½ Use student value
Uw = 0.5 – 0.4375 = 0.0625N ✔1
Remove the 50g mass from the water and dry it using the tissue paper

(iii) Now balance the metre rule when the 50g mass is fully immersed in the liquid L.
Record the value of the distance X

X = 18.3 ± 1.0cm ✔1 1 d.p is a must

Apply the principle of moments to determine W2 of the 50g mass in the liquid L and
hence determine the upthrust U1 in the liquid.
W2 = 0.4575✔½ W2 X 40 = 1.0 X 18.3
UL = 0.5 - 0.4575 = 0.0425N✔1
(iv)Determine the relative destiny R.D of the liquid L given that:
UL 0.0425
R.D = = = 0.68✔1
Uw 0.0625
(v) Find the density of liquid L in Kg/m³
