Study Notes
General Examination Guidelines
- Examination consists of 50 multiple-choice questions, each worth 0.8 marks.
- Candidates must select the best answer and blacken the letter on a separate answer sheet.
- Use pencil for marking answers; marks must be clear and cover the entire answer space.
- Erase all unnecessary marks completely from the answer sheet.
- Duration of the exam is 2 hours and 30 minutes.
- Cheating results in immediate dismissal and score cancellation.
- Ensure all required information is written on the answer sheet before beginning.

Sample Problem Highlights
- Resultant vector calculation: determine the magnitude with given angles (e.g., 30° West of South).
- Refraction affects wave characteristics: changes involve wavelength (λ) and speed (v) but frequency (f) remains unchanged.
- Average speed: calculated based on distances and times for different segments of motion.
- Coefficient of friction: derived from force applied to move an object at constant speed over a surface.
- Magnetic forces on charged particles depend on the particle's motion relative to the magnetic field.
- Kinematics: calculate distance traveled by a train under constant acceleration over a specified time.
- N-type semiconductors formed with doping elements: e.g., Phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony.
- Archimedes' Principle: the volume of displaced water by a floating solid equals the volume of the submerged portion.
Tension in Cord Problem
- Analyze a mass suspended with cords to calculate tension values based on the configuration and forces acting on the system.
