calculate energy of photon. using around 10*10^-6m as wavelength. convert to ev get around 0.1eV which isnt enough energy to overcome the band gaps except for A
I did A too, but people here say I AM WRONG ! :(

May as well throw these out there:

1. D
2. A
3. C
4. B - But fuuuu I dunno so just did final - initial
5. C
6. C
7. B
8. A
9. B
10. D
11. C - This I'm quite sure on, A would mean no net force on the rocket, B lolwut, D a rocket still works in a vacuum, launch pad doesn't matter
12. A
13. B
14. D
15. D - I think it says some because not all of the magnet's field would even be in the superconductor in the first place.
16. C
17. B
18. C
19. D
20. A - Wakarimasen lol

4. B: higher altitude to lower is a loss in gpe so negative? (not too sure)
11. C: law of conservation
14: B: initial change in flux is positive gradient hence induced emf is initially positive
16: C: ideal motor no energy lost hence back emf = supply for constant rate
18: C: force is given by GM/r^2 hence i got ((1/3)^2)/((1/4.5)^2) = 2.25 (not too sure though)

Change in gpe is always positive.
Induced emf is in opposite direction. Lenz's law.
I think the back emf has to be smaller because there needs to be a constant supply emf for the motor to turn in a constant rotation.
For gpe the radius is not squared...

So question 20

How did people do it?

I converted the eV for each of the options to E, then used E=hf, (f=c/wavelength) to find the wavelength. I got on the graph:
A - before the turning point
B- At the turning point
C and D - way past the turning point

So i just put B :/

Thats wrong isn't it ):

I think I got like 13-14/20 for MC, improved by 6 from my trial.

That sounds exactly like what you had to do. How do convert the eV to E?

for 20 do you calculate it off the peak of the curve the wavelength? if so i got B pretty sure is right

Oh no they were talking about force... i thought it was gpe...
yes multiple choice has been tricky this year. i probably got 14 wrong then hahaha.
for 19 i got the same as you, i assumed that 'low' resistance would cause minimal heating haha.

20 is A, We want a semi-conductor which is capable of detecting the whole graph, as such we try HgCdTe - 0.03 Ev, and multiply it by 1.602*10^-19 to find it in joules, then use E=hf to find f
use f in c=f*wavelength to find wavelength which is 4x10^-5 m or 0.4 micro-metres as oposed to InSb which is around 7 micro-metres. So that means A covers more of the scope of the graph than B, so A is the better choice

btw C & D are ridiculous

10 wasn't the peak, ~8 was. If you use 8*10^-6 you get B.
