[2] • Take a piece of dialysis tubing. It is closed at one end with a knot. • Rub gently at the open end to separate the sides and open the end without the knot. • Using a syringe, add 2 cm3 of starch solution to the inside of the dialysis tubing. Take care not to spill any on the outside of the dialysis tubing. Tie the open end with a knot to enclose the starch solution inside and make a soft tubing bag, as shown in Fig. 1.1. bag of starch solution Fig. 1.1 • Rinse the outside of the bag with water and dry the outside with a paper towel, ensuring that there is no starch solution on the outside, particularly in the creases by the knots. Place the bag on a clean paper towel. • Repeat the procedure to make another bag of starch solution with the second piece of dialysis tubing. (b) (i) In Table 1.1, record the colour of the starch solution inside the tubing bags for time = 0. [1] • Half fill beaker A with water. • Place one bag into beaker A as shown in Fig. 1.2. Push gently with the stirring rod to submerge the centre of the bag if necessary. bag of starch solution beaker A water Fig. 1.2

9 0654/51/O/N/16 © UCLES 2016 [Turn over 3 You are going to investigate the period of a simple pendulum and determine a value for the acceleration due to gravity. The period of a pendulum is the time for one complete swing (oscillation) of the pendulum. This is shown in Fig. 3.1, where the period is the time taken for the bob to swing from P to Q and back to P again. P Q point of support pendulum bob Fig. 3.1 The pendulum has been set up for you as shown in Fig. 3.2. pendulum bob bench clamp l Fig. 3.2 The length l of the pendulum is the distance from the point of support to the centre of the pendulum bob.

You may draw a diagram if you wish. … …[1] (b) (i) Give the pendulum bob a small sideways displacement (between 5 cm and 10 cm) and release it so that it oscillates. Measure and record in Table 3.1 the time taken for 20 oscillations. Record this time to one decimal place. [2] (ii) Adjust the length l of the pendulum until it is 50.0 cm. Repeat the procedure described in (b)(i). [1] (iii) Repeat the procedure in (b)(i) for lengths l of 40.0 cm, 30.0 cm and 20.0 cm.
