Before you start
• Write in black ink. A pencil may be used for graphs and diagrams.
• Attempt every question and write each answer in the space below it; you may not need
all of the space.
• The number of marks for each part is given in brackets. Use it to judge how much to
write and how long to spend.
• Questions labelled with an asterisk (*) also reward a clear, logically sequenced answer in
which your points are connected.
• In calculations show each step, give the final answer to an appropriate number of
significant figures and include its unit.
• A data and formulae sheet is printed at the back of this paper. You may detach it.
