s5 Physics Paper One

The document is a physics examination paper for Senior Five students at St. Austin's High School, focusing on the factors affecting the period of oscillation of a simple pendulum. It includes an investigation by a student named Mark, detailing the relationship between period, mass, length, and gravity, along with a related scenario involving a suspended banner. Students are tasked with identifying facts from Mark's report and calculating the forces in the ropes supporting the banner, with specific assumptions to be stated.

 Attempt all items.


Where necessary take g = 9.81 m/s2

ITEM 1:

Mark, a physics student at St. Austin's High School in Wakiso, conducted


an investigation into the factors affecting the period of oscillation of a
simple pendulum. Specifically, he explored how length, mass, and
acceleration due to gravity impact the time it takes for one complete swing.
In his report, Mark presented scientific and analytical findings on the
following:

I. The derived relationship between period, mass,length, and


acceleration due to gravity.

II. The implications and limitations of this relationship.

III. The correctness and validation of the relationship.


In a related scenario, a 5 kg banner of the Scripture Union in the school
compound is suspended from a tree branch by two ropes. One rope makes
a 30° angle with the vertical, while the other rope makes a 60° angle. Sarah,
a friend of Mark's, is curious about the tensions in the ropes that keep the
banner in equilibrium.

TASK

As a physics student:

a) Identify the facts presented in Mark's report.

b) Determine the forces in the ropes that keep the banner suspended.
Hence provide an answer to Sarah, stating any assumptions made
during the calculation. (25 scores)
