You must have:
• the Printed Answer Booklet
• a scientific or graphical calculator
QP
INSTRUCTIONS
• Use black ink. You can use an HB pencil, but only for graphs and diagrams.
• Write your answer to each question in the space provided in the Printed Answer Booklet. If
you need extra space use the lined page at the end of the Printed Answer Booklet. The
question numbers must be clearly shown.
• Fill in the boxes on the front of the Printed Answer Booklet.
• Answer all the questions.
• Where appropriate, your answer should be supported with working. Marks might be given
for using a correct method, even if your answer is wrong.
• Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures unless a different degree
of accuracy is specified in the question.
• The acceleration due to gravity is denoted by g m s–2. When a numerical value is needed
use g = 9.8 unless a different value is specified in the question.
• Do not send this Question Paper for marking. Keep it in the centre or recycle it.
INFORMATION
• The total mark for this paper is 75.
