Explain, in terms of the behaviour of molecules, how a gas exerts a pressure on the walls of its container. (4)

This question is 4 marks so you need to make at least 4 points.

These types of questions just require memorising the 4 points:

Lots of molecules collide with the walls.

Describe the photoelectric effect and what it tells us about the properties of light .

The photoelectric effect describes the process by which surface electrons are emitted from a metal when light is shined on it. This occurs because the electrons are able to absorb the electromagnetic e...

A cup of tea contains 175 g of water at a temperature of 85.0 °C. Milk at a temperature of 4.5 °C is added to the tea and the temperature of the mixture becomes 74.0 °C. What is the internal energy lost by the water? What is the mass of the milk?

(a) In a question like this, you will be given that the Specific Heat Capacity of water is 4200Jkg-1K-1. However, commiting this to memory will be helpful.

A satellite is in a stationary orbit above a planet of mass 8.9 x 10^25 kg and period of rotation 1.2 x 10^5 s. Calculate the radius of the satellite's orbit from the centre of the planet.

A body in a stationary orbit will always remain above the same point on the planet as it orbits. For a body to be in such an orbit, it must rotate around the planet in the same direction as the spin of...

Describe the photoelectric effect.

If we give a peice of gold negative charge and shine long wave, low frequency, electro-magnetic (E-M) radiation on it (for example radio waves) absolutely nothing will happen.
