(ans) © Facts: Posted on on 10 Nov 2009 ‘MOE approved Physics textbook teaches my nephew the wrong thing. ASTOMPer's nephew came home crying after his GCE '0' level Physics exam. He answered a question according to what he studied from the ‘MOE approved textbook, only to find out later that it was wrong. How can the MOE approved textbooks, which so many students use, carry such errors and ambiquities, questions this STOMPer. Says this STOMPer: “My nephew who sat for his GCE ‘0’ level exam came back crying and showed ‘me his Physics Paper 1 (5058/01) in which Q19 says: ‘What is the refractive index of a medium? A. the ratio of the speed of light in air to the speed of light in the medium, B. the ratio of the speed of light in the medium to the speed of light in air. the ratio of the speed of light in the medium to the speed of light in vacuum D. the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium. “According to the internet, which Ihave checked the answer is ‘D' ‘My nephew who wrote the answer as A’ later consulted his teacher after the ‘exam and was told thot the answer is ‘0’ According te his textbook page 231 the authors say ‘It has been proven that the refractive index isa ratio between the speed of light in air or vacuum and the speed of ight in a medium’. The cover of the school textbook titled GCE '0" Level Physics matters by Charles Chew and Chow Siew Foong and there was a seal with the words ‘Approved by ‘Ministry of Education for use from 2007 - 2011" This was the textbook used in many of our secondary schools and endorsed by the MOE. If the textbook has errors or ambiguities why does MOE recommend that schools use this particular textbook?" A competent guide would have explained that the determination of any physical standard, such as the refractive index, must be found based on invariant bench—mark(s).

Tarzan found some stones to use as projectiles to knock the coconut off the tree, His plan was to throw a stone such that it would hit the coconut horizontally because he thought it would be easiest to break the coconut off its stalk using a horizontal force.

(b) ( 12 Given that his hand was 2.2 m above the ground when the stone was released, show that the stone was unable to reach the coconut, regardless of where he stood. He decided to try again. After some thought, he reckoned that he had to throw the stone at a larger angle 8 to the horizontal in order to hit the coconut. (i) Find the value of 9 at which the stone had to be projected so that it would hit the coconut horizontally. Assume that the stone ‘was again projected at 20 ms”. (ii) Find the time taken for the stone to reach its maximum height at this angle of projection. ) Hence, calculate the distance from the coconut tree at which he should stand t throw the stone so that it could hit the coconut.
