20 |TED Ankara College Foundation High School Physics Department
2. Specimen 2016 P3 A student uses an electronic timer in an attempt to estimate the acceleration of free-fall g. She measures the time t taken for a small metal ball to fall through a height (h) of 0.50 m. The percentage uncertainty in the measurement of time is 0.3 % and the percentage uncertainty height is 0.6 %. (a) Using h =
1 2 gt , calculate the expected percentage uncertainty in the value of g. [1] 2
(b) State and explain how the student could obtain a more reliable value for g. [3]
3. Specimen 2016 P3 In an experiment to measure the specific heat capacity of a metal, a piece of metal is placed inside a container of boiling water at 100 C°. The metal is then transferred into a calorimeter containing water at a temperature of 10 C°. The final equilibrium temperature of the water was measured. One source of error in this experiment is that a small mass of boiling water will be transferred to the calorimeter along with the metal. (a) Suggest the effect of the error on the measured value of the specific heat capacity of the metal. [2]
(b) State one other source of error for this experiment. [1]

4. IB Exam May 2016 P3 A student investigates the oscillation of a horizontal rod hanging at the end of a vertical string. The diagram shows the view from above.
The student starts the rod oscillating and measures the largest displacement for each cycle of the oscillation on the scale and the time at which it occurs. The student begins to take measurements a few seconds after releasing the rod.The graph shows the variation of displacement x with time t since the release of the rod. The uncertainty for t is negligible. (a) Draw the line of best-fit for the data. [1]
(b) Calculate the percentage uncertainty for the displacement when t = 40 s. [2]
(c) The student hypothesizes that the relationship between x and t is x = test the hypothesis x is plotted against
a , where a is a constant. To t
1 as shown in the graph. t
22 |TED Ankara College Foundation High School Physics Department
(i) The data point corresponding to t = 15s has not been plotted. Plot this point on the graph above. [1] (ii) Suggest the range of values of t for which the hypothesis may be assumed to be correct. [2]
5. IB Exam May 2016 P3 A student measures the refractive index of the glass of a microscope slide. He uses a travelling microscope to determine the position x1 of a mark on a sheet of paper. He then places the slide over the mark and finds the position x2 of the image of the mark when viewed through the slide. Finally, he uses the microscope to determine the position x3 of the top of the slide.
23 |TED Ankara College Foundation High School Physics Department
The table shows the average results of a large number of repeated measurements.
(a) The refractive index of the glass from which the slide is made is given by
x 3 − x1 .Determine x3 − x2
(i) the refractive index of the glass to the correct number of significant figures, ignoring any uncertainty. [1]
(ii) the uncertainty of the value calculated in (a)(i). [3]
(b) After the experiment, the student finds that the travelling microscope is badly adjusted so that the measurement of each position is too large by 0.05 mm. (i) State the name of this type of error. [1]
(ii) Outline the effect that the error in (b)(i) will have on the calculated value of the refractive index of the glass. [2]
(c) After correcting the adjustment of the travelling microscope, the student repeats the experiment using a glass block 10 times thicker than the original microscope slide. Explain the change, if any, to the calculated result for the refractive index and its uncertainty. [2]
24 |TED Ankara College Foundation High School Physics Department
6. IB Exam November 2015 P2 Data analysis question. An experiment is undertaken to investigate the relationship between the temperature of a ball and the height of its first bounce. A ball is placed in a beaker of water until the ball and the water are at the same temperature. The ball is released from a height of 1.00 m above a bench. The maximum vertical height h from the bottom of the ball above the bench is measured for the first bounce. This procedure is repeated twice and an average hmean is calculated from the three measurements. The procedure is repeated for a range of temperatures. The graph shows the variation of hmean with temperature T.
(a) Draw the line of best-fit for the data. [1] (b) State why the line of best-fit suggests that h mean is not proportional to T. [1]
(c) (i) State the uncertainty in each value of T. [1] (ii) The temperature is measured using a liquid in glass thermometer. State what physical characteristic of the thermometer suggests that the change in the liquid’s length is proportional to the change in temperature. [1] (d) Another hypothesis is that hmean= KT3where K is a constant. Using the graph above, calculate the absolute uncertainty in K corresponding to T = 50°C. [4]

Table of times (in seconds) for water to poor out of a can for varying heights of water in the can and varying diameters of hole at bottom of the can. The experiment was an investigation of the time it takes water to pour out of a can through a hole in the bottom. As you would expect, this time depends on the size of the hole and the amount of water in the can.
h
To find the dependence on the size of the hole, four large cylindrical containers of water of the same size were emptied trough relatively small circular openings of different diameters. To find the dependence on the amount of water, the same containers were filled to different heights.
d
Each measurement was repeated several times, and the averages of the times (in seconds) that each container took to empty have been entered in the table. A stop watch operated by a human hand cannot be trusted to measure less than a tenth of a second. The last digit in each time entry in the table may be error by one unit either way. Therefore, the relative (or fractional) error is larger for shorter times than for longer times. You are asked to plot necessary graphs by using Vernier Logger Pro data-collection and analysis program and obtain an equation for the relation between variables of experiment. The following graphs are expected to be plotted and analyzed: 1. First, plot the time versus the diameter of opening for a constant height you choose. You will get a smoot curve. From your graph you will see that t decreases rather rapidly with increasing d. This suggests an inverse relationship. 1
2. Plot time (t) versus reciprocal of d ( 𝑑 ). Examine this graph. What do you conclude about the relation of t and d? If the graph is not linear then you cannot say that time is inversely proportional to d. 39 |TED Ankara College Foundation High School Physics Department
1
3. This time try a plot of time (t) versus reciprocal of d2 ( 𝑑2 ). Examine the graph line and decide whether t is inversely proportional to d2 or not. 4. Now, to investigate the dependence of time on height of water (h), plot t versus h graph when the diameter of hole is fixed at a value you prefer. You will get a smoot parabola. By examining this curve try to guess right mathematical expression between t and h. If you succeed, check by further graphing (follow 5) to see if your prediction is correct or not. 5. In order to verify your guess on the relationship between t and h, make necessary conversions on graph in (4) to strengthen the graph line. As a result, you should have a straight-line graph of t versus suitable power of h. 6. In order to find the general expression for the time of flow as a function of both h and d, 𝑡=a
ℎ𝑚 𝑑𝑛
a linear graph of three variables should be constructed. At first determine the value of m and n by ℎ𝑚
using proper graphs you have plotted. Plot t versus 𝑑𝑛 to obtain a linear graph. The gradient of this graph is equal to a. Determine the gradient of line. 7. At the end, determine the function of time for water to empty through a hole at the bottom of a can depending on the height of water in can and the diameter of hole -t(h,d).

GUIDELINES FOR PHYSICS INDIVIDUAL INVESTIGATIONS Introduction to the new assessment model for IA The new assessment model uses five criteria to assess the final report of the individual investigation with the following raw marks and weightings assigned: Personal Engagement 2 (8%)
Exploration 6 (25%)
Analysis 6 (25%)
Evaluation 6 (25%)
Communication 4 (17%)
Total 24 (100%)
Levels of performance are described using multiple indicators per level. In many cases the indicators occur together, but not always. Also, not all indicators are always present. This means that a candidate can demonstrate performances that fit into different levels. To accommodate this, the IB assessment models use mark bands and advise examiners and teachers to use a best-fit approach in deciding the appropriate mark for a particular criterion. Please read the guidance on using mark bands shown above before starting to mark, it is also essential to be fully acquainted with the marking of the exemplars in the Teacher Support Material. The precise meaning of the command terms used in the criteria can be found in the glossary of the subject guides. Personal engagement This criterion assesses the extent to which the student engages with the exploration and makes it their own. Personal engagement may be recognized in different attributes and skills. These could include addressing personal interests or showing evidence of independent thinking, creativity or initiative in the designing, implementation or presentation of the investigation. 0

from Newton 3, FAB + FBA = 0, or FAB = –FBA; therefore –M(vA – V) = MvB; therefore MV = MvB + MvA; that is, momentum before equals momentum after collision such that the net change in momentum is zero (unchanged) / OWTTE; Some statement is required to get the fourth mark ie an interpretation of the maths result.

from conservation of momentum V = vB + vA; from conservation of energy V2 = vB2 + vA2; if vA = 0, then both these show that vB = V; or from conservation of momentum V = vB + vA; from conservation of energy V2 = vB2 + vA2;
