& MARK SCHEME FINAL TEST 2026
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◍ d = m/v.
Answer: Density formula
◍ White dwarf.
Answer: A star of a similar size to the sun would become unstable and eject
its outer layer of dust and gas - it leaves behind a hot, dense, solid core - this
◍ Brown, carries the current.
Answer: Live wire
◍ Radioactive particles getting onto objects.
Answer: Contamination
◍ diffuse reflection.
Answer: the reflection of the light ray from the surface is reflected at many
angles due to an uneven surface
◍ black body radiation.
Answer: a black body perfectly emits and absorbs radiation, the only known
black body is a black hole
◍ Current (I) x Time (t).
Answer: Charge (Q)
◍ generator effect.
, Answer: this induces a potential difference in a wire which is experiencing a
change in magnetic field - a solenoid is placed in the middle of two poles of
a magnet - on one side, the field lines from the bar magnet will double up
with the field lines from the solenoid, and on the other side, the field lines of
the bar magnet will cancel out the ones of the solenoid, and thus the
solenoid will rotate
◍ .Cavity wall insulation.Loft insulation.Draught excluders.Double glazed
windows.
Answer: Reducing Unwanted energy
◍ gravitational mass.
Answer: the mass of an object that gravity acts on
◍ .electron, virtually no mass, charge -1.travel few metres, stopped by around
5mm of aluminium sheet.Moderately ionising, Moderately penetrating.
Answer: Beta
◍ human hearing range.
Answer: 20Hz - 20,000Hz
◍ .V is the shared +.I is same =.R adds up (total).
Answer: Series
◍ 14/6 U -> 14/7 N + 0/-1 E.
Answer: Nucleur Beta decay equation
◍ advantages of electromagnets:.
Answer: - can be switched on and off- strength can be altered
◍ seismic waves.
Answer: the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within
the earth or an explosion - include P, S, and L waves
◍ Big yawn.
Answer: A theory for how the universe will end - space just keeps getting
bigger as time goes and objects would just get further apart until life is no
longer sustainable
, ◍ 1. Power stations produce electricity2. Step- up transformers increase
voltage to reduce the current, reduce resistance in wires.3. Pylons carry the
current across the country4. Step down transformers decrease the voltage
back to a safe current5. electricity is delivered to homes.
Answer: National Grid
◍ reflection.
Answer: the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound
without absorbing it
◍ by a force doing work.
Answer: Mechanically
◍ same mistake every time.
Answer: Systematic
◍ a parachutists journey.
Answer: as she jumps out of the plane, the air resistance is little so the
weight pulls her downwards, so she starts to accelerate - as she accelerates
the air resistance increases until it is equal to her weight - this is when
terminal velocity is reached as the two forces are balanced - when she opens
her parachute, she decelerates as there is a much larger air resistance as the
surface area has increased - eventually, the air resistance on the parachute
decreases until it is the same as her weight - a new terminal velocity has
now been reached, just slower than the last one - until she gets to the
ground, where her weight is equal to the upwards force from the ground
◍ Hydrogen gas nebula.
Answer: A huge cloud of dust and gas - the hydrogen contracts under the
force of gravity, more hydrogen is collected as the force of gravity increases
◍ Protostar.
Answer: The hydrogen gas nebula heats up until nuclear fusion starts in the
core - it becomes this when nuclear fusion starts
◍ time taken for the no. of radiation nuclei in a sample to half.
