7. What is momentum?
Answer:
The product of the mass of an object and its velocity.
8. Give two types of collision.
Answer:
Elastic collision and inelastic collision
9. What is principle of conservation of momentum?
Answer:
If objects collide, the total momentum before the collision is the same as the total
momentum after the collision
(provided that no external forces - for example, friction - act on the system).

Answer: The Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of heat required to change 1 kg of
a substance by 1°C in temperature
26. What is the relationship between specific heat capacity, c and time of a substance to be hot?
Answer:
The higher the specific heat capacity, the longer the time of a substance to be hot.
e.g: water has a higher specific heat capacity, use as a coolant because difficult to
heat up.
27. Give the formula to calculate specific heat capacity, c? Answer: c= Q/mθ
28. State the relationship between specific heat capacity, c and mass, m, difference in temperature,θ ,
quantity of heat, Q.
Answer: Look at the formula in 27.

33. Explain the experiment to determine the latent heat of fusion of solid
Answer:
34.
Answer:
- Phenomena where the direction of light is changed when it crosses the boundary
between two materials of different optical densities.
- It due to the change in the velocity of light as it passes from one medium into
another.

41. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image in plane mirror.
42. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image in convex mirror.
43. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image in concave mirror
44. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image in concave lens
45. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image in convex lens
46. Draw a ray diagram to show the reflection of light in a torch light
Answer: (Torchlight and car head lamp use a concave mirror to reflect all light rays to one
direction)
47. Draw a ray diagram to show the reflection of light in a car head lamp
Answer: (Same like torchlight)
48. What is frequency?
Answer:
The number of cycles of an oscillating motion which occur per second.
49. What is wavelength?
Answer: The horizontal distance between two successive equivalent points on a wave
50. What is damping?
Answer:
Energy loss from an oscillating system to the surrounding in the form of heat energy
51. What cause damping to happen?
Answer: External frictional force like air resistance and internal frictional force
52. Draw a graph amplitude against time to show damping process.
Answer:
53. Explain how bright and dark region is produced on the screen of a ripple tank
Answer:
-The water acts as a lens to produce a pattern of bright and dark.
-Water waves have crests and troughs.
-A crest is the highest position of the wave acts as a convex lens, whereas a trough is
the lowest position acts as a concave lens.

-Light rays from the lamp on top will focus onto the
white screen below. The bright lines correspond to
the crests, and the dark lines correspond to the
troughs.

61. Explain why sound from distant object sound clearly at night compare to daytime.
Answer:
Sound waves travel faster in warm air than in cold air.
On a hot day, the hot surface of the Earth causes the layer of air near the surface to
be warmer.
This causes sound waves too be refracted away from the Earth.
On a cool night, the sound waves travel slower in the cooler layer of air near the
surface of the Earth than in the upper, warmer air. The waves are refracted towards
the Earth. Hence, sound can be heard over a longer distance on a cold night compared
with a hot day.
62. What is electromagnetic wave?
Answer:
Waves which consist of a joint electric and magnetic fields which oscillate
perpendicular to each other
