A trolley experiment uses a total moving mass of 0.80 kg. Resultant forces 0.40 N, 0.80 N and 1.20 N produce accelerations 0.50, 1.00 and 1.50 m/s².
.1
Calculate the acceleration predicted for a 1.60 N resultant force.
[2 marks]
.2
Evaluate whether the data support the proposed relationship, and identify one way to make the conclusion more reliable.

Identical detectors at equal distances from two heated plates record infrared signal after the background reading has been subtracted. Both plates have the same area and temperature. Matt black gives 8.4 units and shiny silver gives 2.1 units.
.1
Calculate how many times larger the black-plate signal is.
[2 marks]
.2
Evaluate whether the measurements support using a shiny surface to reduce thermal radiation losses.

A vibrating string is observed with a ruler in its plane. Its equilibrium position is at 12.0 cm on the ruler. The highest and lowest positions are 14.4 cm and 9.6 cm.
.1
Calculate the amplitude in metres.
[2 marks]
.2
A pupil says that increasing amplitude necessarily increases frequency. Evaluate the claim.
A car has thinking distance 10 m and braking distance 18 m on a dry road. On a wet road at the same initial speed, its thinking distance is still 10 m and braking distance is 30 m.
.1
Calculate the percentage increase in total stopping distance on the wet road.
[3 marks]
.2
Explain why wet conditions increase braking distance in this comparison.
