QUESTION 5
A lady injured her back when she slipped and fell in a supermarket. She holds the owner of the supermarket accountable for her medical expenses. The owner claims that the floor covering was not wet and meets the accepted standards. He therefore cannot accept responsibility.
The matter eventually ends up in court. Before passing judgement, the judge approaches you, a science student, to determine whether the coefficient of static friction of the floor is a minimum of 0,5 as required. He provides you with a tile from the floor, as well as one of the shoes the lady was wearing on the day of the incident.
5.1
Write down an expression for the coefficient of static friction.

Formulate an investigative question.
Apparatus: List ALL the other apparatus, except the tile and the shoe, that you will need.
A stepwise method: How will you perform the investigation? Include a relevant, labelled free body-diagram.
Results: What will you record?

QUESTION 6
An athlete is preparing for a fitness competition. In order to develop the biceps muscle, she embarks on a training programme. This programme entails holding a 176 N weight steady in the palm for some minutes at a time.
The forearm weighs 24 N. It is held horizontally as shown in the sketch, and can be regarded as a rod. In the diagram below, the elbow joint is the pivot. The weight of the forearm acts through the point C. The maximum force developed in the biceps muscle, due to the weight, is represented by FM.
Elbow joint0,089 m0,330mFMC0,051 m

(2)
Arthritis is a medical condition which affects many South Africans. In simple terms, it is a condition in which the joints (such as the elbow joint), become swollen. A patient complains that lifting even the smallest object causes much pain.

QUESTION 7
Visit your optometrist regularly
Optometrists deal with vision problems. They examine the eyes and prescribe spectacles when vision becomes defective.
A father, a child and the child’s grandmother visit an optometrist together. The father works in a factory where they make microchips. He complains that he has perfect eyesight for his work, which includes assembling tiny components, but has difficulty seeing while driving to work.
The child complains that he has difficulty reading his textbooks, but can read very easily from the board in the classroom.
The grandmother complains that she has no problem in observing monkeys playing on the farm next to her house, but whenever she tries to read her favourite magazine, her eyes always water. There is also a sharp pain in her eyes, which disappears whenever she moves the magazine further away from her face.
Assume that you are the optometrist.
7.1
State the eye defect that EACH of the three family members has.
(3)
7.2
Describe the possible cause(s) of EACH of the defects.
(6)
7.3
Make separate sketches to indicate the following:
7.3.1 The defect in the case of the father.
7.3.2 How the defect in QUESTION 7.3.1 can be corrected using an appropriate lens.

QUESTION 8
Read the following passage on noise pollution and answer the questions that follow.
Noise pollution in the community
Unpleasant or unwanted sounds are called noise. It interferes with speech communication and can be annoying during relaxation and leisure time. Noise is known to damage the ears, cause tiredness and loss of concentration and, if it is very loud, it can result in sickness.
The lowest sound level the average human ear can just detect, called the threshold of hearing is taken as 0 dB. Normal conversation is about 60 dB and the threshold of pain is 120 dB.
The main sources of noise pollution in communities are transport services, such as aircraft arrivals and departures, road traffic and railways, industrial and commercial centres, construction activities and (increasingly) leisure activities. Noise from neighbours (stereo systems, late-night parties, children and barking dogs) is now the cause of many complaints in communities.
Some of the ways of reducing unwanted sounds include, amongst others, the design of quieter engines for use in vehicles on our roads; the use of sound-insulating materials such as carpets and curtains, and double-glazed windows in our homes. The further away the noise originates, the weaker it is. Distance is thus a natural barrier, as are trees between houses on a noisy road.
8.1
In what unit is loudness measured?
(1)
8.2
Suggest TWO ways to your local municipality how they can help reduce the noise levels in your area.
(2)
8.3
State TWO precautions which factory owners can take to protect their workers against unwanted sounds.

(4)
8.5
Write down the letters of TWO consecutive points on the wave, which are in phase.
(2)
8.6
Calculate the period of this wave.

8.7
Calculate the speed of this wave.

[18]
QUESTION 9
Bats are nearly blind. To avoid flying into objects and to help them hunt for food, bats send out high frequency squeaks. Bats sense the time that the echo takes to return to them after the wave has been reflected from an object in its path. When a bat approaches an object, it emits squeaks of a shorter duration and with shorter intervals between squeaks.
A stationary bat emits a squeak. It takes 0,018 s for the echo to return to the bat. The speed of sound in air is 345 m⋅s-1.
9.1
Calculate how far the bat is from the obstacle.
(5)
Sound waves are disturbed by objects that are comparable to, or larger than, their wavelength. The maximum frequency that bats can emit, is 1,2 × 105 Hz.
9.2
Calculate the diameter (in mm) of the smallest object that a bat can detect.
