(Solved)
The following results were recorded in an experiment where different masses were hung on the end of a long spring whose other end was firmly fixed. The length of the spring and the mass hanging from it were recorded as below. Original length of spring was 40cm.
(a) Complete the table for load and corresponding extensions
(b) Plot a graph of extension of the spring against load on the spring on the grid provided
(c) Determine the spring constant using the linear section of the graph
(d) Give an explanation why the slope of the graph changes when a mass greater than 0.75kg is attached to the spring
(e) From the list of quantities below, select quantities that are vector quantities:-
speed, density, force, acceleration and current

(Solved)
A uniform metre rule is balanced at its centre. It is balanced by the 30N, 5N and the magnetic
force between P and Q. P is fixed and Q has a weight of 5N
Ignoring the weight of the metre rule, calculate the value of the magnetic force between Q and P
