LIST B F G D H C
(05marks)@1mark

3. (a) (i) In architecture

-Scientist work in architecture they use knowledge of measurements to identify densities of various building
materials. Therefore helps them to select best material for constructing different standards structures like
bridges, flyovers. (02 marks)

(ii) In hospital

Doctors use correct dosage by using appropriate apparatus and at a right time which is knowledge of
measurement. For example a patient could be injected 3cm³ at 04:00 clock. In this case measurement of volume
and time has been considered. (02 marks)

b. Solution

Data given

Mass of crown (total mass of gold + silver), mt=1.05kg----→1050g

Volume of crown (total volume of gold + silver), VT=60cm³.

Density of gold (₰g) =19.3g/cm³

Density of silver (₰s) =10.5g/cm³ (01 marks)

Mass of gold (mg) =required.

Since the crown is a mixture.

Vt=Vg+Vs --------------- (1)

Mt=Mg+Ms ------------ (2)


But. Vg=Mg/₰g

Vs=ms/₰g = (Vt-Vg) (01 marks)

VT = mt/₰t

Ms= (Vt-Vg) x ₰s-------------------- (3)

Mg=Vg times ₰g------------------- (4)

Substitute eqn (3) and (4) into eqn (2)

Mt=Mg + Ms.

Mt=Vg x ₰g + (VT – Vg) ₰s

Mt=Vg₰g + Vt₰s (make the subject)

Vg = (Mt - Vt₰s)

(₰g - ₰s) (01 marks)

Vg = (1050 – 60 x 10.5)

(19.3 – 10.5)

Vg =47.73cm³

Since Vg = Mg/₰g (make Mg the subject) (01 marks)

Mg = Vg x ₰g

Mg = 47.73cm³ x 19.3g/cm³

Mg = 921.14g

Therefore the mass of gold contained in the crown is 921.14g (02 marks)

4. a) Sketched diagram. (2.5 marks)

I 15cm I 10cm I
I

0.4N
W
From the diagram.

The sum of clockwise moment = the sum of anticlockwise moment

0.4N X 15cm = 10cm x W. (01 marks)

6Ncm = 10cm.W

10cm = 10cm (01 marks)

W = 0.6N

Therefore the weight of Half Meter rule is 0.6N (0.5 marks)

b) Solution

Data given

4. A screw jack has a screw pitch of 5mm and the effort aim of 16cm.

i).Two Forms of energy are;

1-kinetic energy (due to the motion of the effort aim). (01 marks)

2-Potential energy (due to the position of the load). (01 marks)

ii). %efficiency =?

Effort (E) = 30N

Load (L) = 750N (0.5 marks)

From M.A = L/E

M.A = 750N/30N = 25

M.A = 25 (0.5 marks)

But VR = 2πR

P (0.5 marks)

Where; R = 16cm

Pitch (P) = 5mm-------→0.5cm


V.R = 2 X 3.14 X 16cm

0.5cm =201 (0.5 marks)

Finally efficiency = M.A/V.R X 100% (0.5 marks)

Efficiency = 25/201 x 100% = 12.4%

The percentage efficiency of this screw jack is 12.4% (0.5 marks)

5. a). (i).Law of conservation of energy are observed at the following

-Oscillation of a simple pendulum.

-A ball/ an object thrown up in air. (02 marks)

Any two points total (04 marks)

b).Solution

Data given

Mass of arrow (Ma) =100g

Mass of wood (Mw) =400g (01 marks)

Initial speed of arrow (Ua) =15m/s


Common velocity (VC) =required.

Initial speed of wood (UW) =0m/s. rest

Before collision after collision

Arrow Block wood Arrow Block wood

Mb = 400g mb
Ma = 100g ma

Ua = 15m/s Ub = om/s (rest) Common velocity (VC) = ?. (1 Marks)

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision/impact

Maua + MbUb = (Ma + Mb) VC (01 marks)

But MbUb = 0m/s (rest)

Maua = (Ma + Mb)Vc

Ma mb ma+ mb (total marks 04)

VC=Maua = 100g x 15m/s = 1500g m/s

Ma+Mb 100g + 400g 500g

VC = 3m/s

Therefore the common velocity after the impact was 3m/s (01 mark)

6. a) two factors affecting resistance of a conductor are,

1. Length of the conductor (2.5 marks)

-A short length of a wire has small resistance, while a long wire of the same material and thickness has a
larger resistance. i.e. R&L.

2. Temperature (2.5 marks)

-The higher the temperature of the conductor the higher the resistance and the vice versa. i.e.R&T

^ 3. Nature of the material (2.5 marks)

-A nichrome wire has higher resistance than a copper wire of the same dimension.
4. Cross-sectional area (2.5 marks)

-A thin wire has higher resistance than a thick wire of the same length and material. I.e. R&1/A

B). Solution

Data given

Resistor (R1) = 5Ω

Resistor (R2) = 10Ω

Resistor (R3) = 20Ω

Maximum resistance (obtained from series connection. (01 marks)


i.

^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^ ^^^^ ^^


5Ω 10Ω 20Ω

From R.max = RT = R1 + R2 + R3 (Total marks 2.5)


RT = 5Ω + 10Ω + 20Ω (01 marks)
RT = 35Ω
Therefore the maximum value of resistance after the connection is 35Ω (0.5 marks)

ii. Minimum value of resistance (obtained from parallel connection)

5Ω
^^^^^^^
10Ω
^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^ 20Ω (01 marks)

1/R.min = 1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 (01 marks)

1/RT = 1/5 + 1/10 + 1/20

1/RT = 0.35

1/RT = 0.35/1
RT X 0.35 = 1

0.35 0.35 (Total marks 2.5)

RT = 2.857 ≈ 2.9Ω

Therefore the minimum value is 2.9Ω (0.5 marks)
