QUESTION 1
You are provided with following apparatus

  • A pendulum bob
  • A cotton thread about1m long
  • A retort stand and clamp
  • A metre rule
  • A stopwatch
  • Two pieces of wood
  • Vernier calipers(to be shared)

Proceed as follows

  1. Using the vernier calipers measure the diameter of the pendulum bob. (1mk)…………………………cm
  2. Clamp the pendulum as shown starting with L=80cm
    1
  3. Give the bob a small displacement and record the time t for 20 complete oscillations. Record also periodic time T for one complete oscillation.
  4. Repeat the procedure above for values of L as shown in the table. Record and complete the table.(8marks)
    Length L (cm) L (m) Time for 20 oscillations Period T (T2)(s2)
    80         
    70         
    60         
    50         
    40         
    30         
    20        
  5. Plot the graph of T2 against L(m)(5marks) 
    2
  6. Determine the slope of the graph(3marks)
  7. The equation for the graph is given by T2 = 4π2L/g where g is a constant. From the graph find the value of g.(2marks)
  8. What is the significance of g.(1mark)

QUESTION 2
APPARATUS

  • concave mirror
  • lens holder
  • screen
  • candle
  • proceed as follows;
    3

Figure 2
Procedure

  1. Set the apparatus as shown in figure 2
  2. Place the candle at a distance x=5.0 cm from the screen
  3. Move the mirror to and fro to focus a clear; sharp image of the candle on the screen
  4. Measure and record the distance u between the mirror and the candle and the distance v between the screen and the mirror.
  5. Repeat the experiment for other values of x and complete the table below (8MKS)
    x (cm) 5.0 10.0 15.0 20.0 25.0 30.0
    u (cm)            
    v (cm)            
    (u + v)(cm)            
    uv (cm)            
  6. Draw a graph of ( u + v) cm against u v (cm) (5MKS)
    2
  7. Determine the slope S of the graph 3mks ……………………………
  8. Using the value of S obtained above in (viii); determine the value of f, the focal length of the mirror, 2mks …………………
    Given that R = 4f/s2 2mks……………………………………
