Section A

Answer all the questions in the spaces provided.

For Examiner's Use

1 (a) A moon is in a circular orbit of radius $r$ about a planet. The angular speed of the moon in its orbit is $\omega$ . The planet and its moon may be considered to be point masses that are isolated in space.

Show that $r$ and $\omega$ are related by the expression

$$
r^3 \omega^2 = \text{constant}.
$$

Explain your working.

(b) Phobos and Deimos are moons that are in circular orbits about the planet Mars. Data for Phobos and Deimos are shown in Fig. 1.1.

One pole of the magnet is situated in a coil of wire. The coil is connected in series with a switch and a resistor. The switch is open.

The magnet is displaced vertically and then released. As the magnet passes through its rest position, a timer is started. The variation with time $t$ of the vertical displacement $y$ of the magnet from its rest position is shown in Fig. 3.2.
