Yr 9 Physics Revision 3

1) Moment is the product of force and perpendicular distance from the line of action. The unit of measurement is the Newton meter (Nm). The moment of the 12N force acting 8m from the pivot is 96Nm. 2) Radioactivity is the spontaneous disintegration of unstable nuclides emitting alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. Alpha particles are massive and ionizing but have low penetration. Beta particles are lighter and more penetrating. Gamma rays are highly penetrating but do not cause ionization. Radioisotopes have uses in industry, agriculture, medicine, and geology. 3) Evaporation is the change from liquid to vapor below the boiling point at the surface. Boiling is the change from

MARKING GUIDE PHYSICS YEAR 9

1. a) Moment is the product of the force and perpendicular distance of point to the line of action
of the force. Unit Nm
M = F x d (Nm)
b) Moment = 12 x 8 = 96 Nm
c) If a body is in equilibrium, then the sum of the clockwise moments about any point on the
body is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments about the same point.

2. a) This is the process of spontaneous disintegration or breakdown of unstable nuclides with


the emission of alpha, beta or gamma radiations.

b) The three radiations are: α, β and ᴕ ( alpha , beta and gamma)

Properties:

Alpha: Relatively massive , Large, cause heavy ionization, Small penetrating


power e.g by thin sheets of paper.

Beta: Relatively light, Strongly deflected towards the N-pole, Medium, About 0.1%

of that of α-particle , Good penetrating power in air, several mm of aluminum.

Gamma: Electrically neutral , Small or no ionization, High penetrating power in air


and in solid e.g many cm of lead but not affected by electric and magnetic field.

c) i. .1. Industry to study defects in metals and welded joints. i.e detect leaks in pipes.

2. agriculture as radioactive tracers and preservatives and

3. in geological research for radio-dating.

4. medicine as radiotherapy

ii) 1. Weaponry: many weapons of mass destruction rely on radioactivity to function


2. Sicknesses: Exposure to radioactivity can commonly lead to either infertility, or
radiation poisoning.

3. a) As we heat water, its temperature rises and the liquid evaporates . If heating
continues , the temperature is found to rise until the water begins to boil.

Evaporation is a process which involves the escape of molecules from a liquid surface.

b) Factors affecting rate of evaporation includes:

i) Temperature

ii) Wind and dryness of the air

iii) Pressure

iv) Nature of the liquid

V) Area of liquid exposed

c) Differences between boiling and evaporation:

1. This is the change This is the change from

from liquid to vapour liquid to vapour at the

at temp. below boiling boiling point.

point.

2. Take place slowly at Occurs throughout the

the liquid surface entire volume of liquid

3. Takes place at Takes place at a

all temperatures particular temperature.

4. Temperature Temperature remains

need not steady steady during boiling

during evaporation

5. Wind assist evapo Wind has no effect on

-ration. Boiling.
