Instructions
• Use black ink or ball-point pen.
• If pencil is used for diagrams/sketches/graphs it must be dark (HB or B).
• Answer all questions and ensure that your answers to parts of questions are clearly
labelled.
• Answer the questions in the spaces provided – there may be more space than you need. •
You should show sufficient working to make your methods clear. Answers without working
may not gain full credit.
• Inexact answers should be given to three significant figures unless otherwise stated.
Information
• • There are 5 questions in this paper. The total mark is 31.
• The marks for each question are shown in brackets – use this as a guide as to how much
