    6. You are given some isotopes of a certain element. The isotopes are ionized so that they can

    carry the same charge Q, and enter a speed selector as shown in the diagram below. Onlythose isotopes with a definite speed can pass straight through the mutually perpendicular

    uniform electric and magnetic fields in the speed selector. The whole set-up is in a

    vacuum environment.

    (i) Explain how the speed selector works. [2]In the speed selector, the electrostatic force and the magnetic force acting the charged

    particle are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. (1)

    Therefore the resultant force is zero, thus the charge will move in a straight line. (1)

    Or qE = Bqv or FE = FB (1)

    F = 0 (1)

    (ii) Describe and explain how the isotopes can be distinguished experimentally by

    directing the emerging beam of ionized isotopes into a uniform magnetic field.

    [3]Different isotopes will be deflected in magnetic field in semicircular path of different

    radii. (1, 1)

    The mass of the isotope is directly proportional to the radius of the path. (1)

    Section B [ 60 marks ]

    Answer anyfour questions in this section.

    9. (a) State Newtons Law of Universal Gravitation. [1]

    The gravitational attraction between two point masses is directly proportional to the

    product of the masses but inversely proportional to the square of their separation.

    (b) A satellite of mass 200 kg is placed in a circular orbit at a height of 200 km above the

    Earths equator travelling in the same direction as the rotation of Earth about its own

    axis.

    (i) Explain why the centre of the orbit must be at the centre of the Earth. [2]

    The weight of the satellite provides the centripetal force. (1)

    Since the weight acts towards the centre of the Earth, therefore the centre of the

    Earth is the centre of the orbit. (1)

    (ii) Calculate the speed of the satellite. [3]

    i) State three basic assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases, which lead to a model

    of an ideal gas [3]

    Any three of the followings:

    - The gas molecules move randomly in all direction.- The collisions between the molecules and the wall of the container

    are elastic.- There is no force between the molecules.- The time of collision can be neglected compared to the time between

    collisions.- The motion of gas molecules obeys Newtons Laws of motion.- The volume of the molecules can be neglected compared to the

    volume of the container.

    ii) Write down the equation for an ideal gas. Explain the symbols you use.

    [2]

    pV = nRT

    p = pressure of gas

    V = volume

    n = number of mole of gas

    T= temperature in Kelvin 2/0

    iii) Show that the average kinetic energy of a molecule of an ideal gas is proportional

    to the thermodynamic temperature T. [4]
