SPM Tips: Physics Paper 2
Paper 2 tips:
Usually in paper 2, especially in essay section B/C, the question will provide u with a table of comparison. For eample, if the question ask u to choose a material from a table to build an electric kettle..then u r asked to choose the most suitable characteristic.
for example,
My suggestion is.. rather than writing a common lengthy essay type of answer.. its easier if u answer it by making a table of comparison like this:
| Suitable Characteristic | Reason |
| High Boiling Point (1 mark) | Not easily melt (1 mark) |
| High Resistivity (1 mark) | It can produce more heat ( 1 mark) |
e.g:
kettle W is most suitable coz it has high boiling point & high resistivity.
If u answer in table form, u r more focused & will go straight to the point.
Otherwise if u choose to write like typical english essay.. there's a tendency that u might 'goreng merapu-rapu'. In the end lots of non relevant facts will b included.
I know your mid term is just aroun the corner right... so here i include some revision list of form 4 summarized terms.
| Form 4 TERM | VALUE | MEANING |
| Acceleration ,a | Low / small (+) | Slow increase of velocity |
| High / big | Fast increase of velocity | |
| negative | Decrease in velocity, deceleration | |
| Density,ρ | Low / small | Lighter / less compact |
| High / large | Heavier / more compact | |
| Spring Force constant , k | Small | Spring is soft / easy to stretch |
| Large / big | Spring is stiff / difficult to stretch | |
| Specific Heat Capacity ,c | Low / small |
|
| High / large |
| |
| Specific Latent Heat, L | Low / small |
|
| High / large |
| |
| Melting point / Freezing point | Low |
· Starts melting earlier / Starts freezing later |
| High |
· Starts melting latter / Starts freezing earlier | |
| Boiling point | Low |
|
| High |
| |
| Refractive index | Low / small | Substance that refracts light less |
| High / large | Substance that refracts light more | |
| Critical angle | Small | Easier for total internal reflection to occur |
| Large / big | Difficult for total internal reflection to occur | |
| Power (of a lens) | Low |
|
| High |
| |
| Focal length | Short | Higher power , thicker lens |
| Large / long | Lower power |
