Paper 1 H - SAMPLE SET 1 Q5 Answers
5) A student investigated the efficiency of a motor using the equipment in Figure 4.
He used the motor to lift a weight of 2.5 N a height of 2.0 m.
He measured the speed at which the weight was lifted and calculated the efficiency of the energy transfer.
He repeated the experiment to gain two sets of data.
5.1) Give one variable that the student controlled in his investigation. [1 mark]
5.2) Give two reasons for taking repeat readings in an investigation. [2 marks]
