4. Simran has been measuring the time taken for different objects to slide down a ramp. The picture shows the ramp with one of the objects, a pencil case, on it.

(a)   On the picture, draw an arrow to show the direction of the force of friction on the pencil case. [1]
(b)    
(b) When timing the different objects, the test should be made fair.
One factor to keep constant is the distance that the object slides.
State two other factors which need to be kept the same for each test.
1..................................................................................................................................
2..............................................................................................................................[2]
Simran repeats the test with the pencil case and records the results in this table.

She thinks there may be something wrong with her second time.

(c) Why might she think this?
....................................................................................................................................
................................................................................................................................[1]
(d) How could she check if the second time was wrong?
....................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................[1]


5. Complete the boxes beside each picture to record the reading on each piece of   
    equipment.
(a)   Measuring cylinder in cm3.

[1]

(b)   Voltmeter in volts.

                                           [1]



6. Complete the table to show the useful energy transfer that happens in each case.
      The first one has been done for you.

7. Liz and Rena investigate how high a ball bounces. They use a metre ruler and a tennis   ball.
Liz drops the ball from different heights.
Rena watches and records the height of the first bounce.
They measure the height from the bottom of the ball.

(a) Write down one reason why Rena will find it difficult to record the height of the bounce accurately.
....................................................................................................................................
................................................................................................................................[1]
Liz and Rena repeat each test three times and work out the average for each.
They measure in centimetres (cm).
They record their results in the table below.

They have plotted three of their results on a graph.
(b) Complete the graph by:
• plotting the last two points
• drawing a best fit straight line.

[2]

(c) One advantage of plotting a graph is that the trend can be seen more clearly than in the
     table.
     Write down one other advantage of displaying results in a graph.
....................................................................................................................................
................................................................................................................................[1]
(d) Another group in the class does the test.
They plotted their results on a similar graph.
Their points were all far from their line.
What does this suggest about their results?
...................................................................................................................................
................................................................................................................................[1]


8. Andy and James are pulling on a rope.
    The size and direction of their pulling forces are shown.

(a) The rope does not move toward Andy or James.
Explain why the rope does not move.

....................................................................................................................................
....................................................................................................................................
....................................................................................................................................
................................................................................................................................[2]

(b) Andy keeps pulling with the same force of 100 N.
The rope now starts to move towards him.
What must have happened to the pulling force from James?

....................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................[1]






9. The diagram shows four large objects, A to D, at different places on the Earth’s surface.

(a) Draw arrows from the objects to show the force of gravity on them.
     The first one has been done for you. [2]
(b) The Moon has a smaller force of gravity than the Earth.
      Use this information to complete the sentences.
      Use the words from the list below.
greater             the same          less
The mass of object A will be ..................................... when placed on the Moon.
The weight of object A will be ...................................... when placed on the Moon.[2]

10. Brigitte plays a musical instrument called a saxophone.
