6. C 7. C 8. D 9. A 10. A
Section B
Structured Question
mg = GMm/r2 2
g = GM/r2
r = RE
g = GM/R2
ii) From © i) 2
g = GM/r2
r=R=h
g = GM/(R+h)2
(d) i) g = GM/R2 2
= (6.67x10-11)(5.97x1024)/(6.37x108)2
= 9.81 ms-2
g = GM/(R+h)2 2
r=R+h
= 6.37x108 + 3.45x105
= 6.915 x 106 m
g = (6.67x10-11)(5.97x1024)/(6.915 x 106)2
= 8.831 ms-2
2 (a) Escape velocity is velocity needed to overcome the gravitational 1
force acting on Earth
(b) r = (6.37x103 ) km + 250 km 1
= 6620 km @ 6.62 x 108 m
(c) i) 2
𝐺𝑀
𝑣= $
𝑟
(6.67𝑥10/00 )(5.97𝑥1045 )
𝑣= $
(6.62𝑥107 )
𝑣 = 775.57 𝑚𝑠 /0
ii) - Satellite will fall back to Earth 2
- Due to gravitational pull towards the center of the Earth
(d) i) Rotational direction : Same direction as Earth’s rotation 2
Reason : Same geolocation as Earth’s rotation
ii) Orbital period : 24 hours 2
Reason : Earth needed 24hour to complete 1 rotation
3 (a) i) Liquid-in-glass 1
ii) Mercury 1
iii) Expansion and contraction of liquid 1
(b) - easy to view 2
- does not stick to wall
- reactive to heat
(c) i) Thermal equilibrium is when two objects contact thermally and 1
achieve same temperature.
(ii) - Wet towel and hot forehead thermally contact and 3
exchange of heat will happen
- Wet towel will receive heat and hot forehead will transfer
the heat
- When the heat transfer between those object become
equal and temperature become same, they are achieve
thermal equilibrium
iii) Lower 1
