c During the day, land gets heated by the Sun much quicker than does water.
As the land becomes warmer, it heats the air in the atmosphere above it.
This causes the air to expand, becoming less dense, and thus creating a low
pressure.

11 a The Principle of Conservation of Momentum / Energy 1
b When the ball on one end is pulled up and let to fall, it strikes the second
ball which is at rest and comes to a dead stop.

The momentum of the ball becomes zero as its velocity is zero.

The Principle of Conservation of Momentum states that in a collision between
two objects the total momentum of the objects in the system remains
unchanged.
The energy and momentum from the first ball is transferred to the
second ball and then transmitted through the balls at rest to the ball on the
other end.

Because the momentum and energy is maintained in this system, the ball
on the opposite side will move at the same velocity as the ball that were in













4
initial motion
(any four)

c Specifications. Reason
The balls touch each other This will reduce losses of energy
which will reduce the speed of the
balls
The type of material used
to make the balls is steel
Steel balls are hard and produce
highly elastic collision. Energy can
easily propagates through the
intermediate balls.
Two strings used to hang
each ball
This string arrangement restricts the balls
movements to the same plane.

the position of the ball to
start the oscillation
High position of the ball, high potential energy
and will change to high kinetic energy. The last
end ball will swing at bigger speed.
The most suitable design is Q because the ball s touch each other, made from
steel, use two strings attached to each ball and the initial position of the ball is
high.
