Hi everyone,I'm candy from Thailand. This is my first time using this web site. So I have question about physics please help me...

 Q1.Why the vacuum is necessary in the cathode ray oscilloscope?.

 I answered-> vacuum is necessary because accelerated electron will not lose their kinetic energy colliding with air molecule while traveling toward the screen. ( correct?)...

Q2.State what is seen when the cathode ray strike the florescent screen.?

 I answered-> Light (correct?)

Q3.What is mean by the north pole of the magnet?.


Q4.state two change the usually happen to the molecules of the Solid when the solid is heated?.
 
I checked from the Mark Scheme it's witten. greater speed, molecules further apart ( correct?).

 Q5. The gound beneath the chair is soft ,so the organisers put the chair on a large flat board.Why the board prevent the chair from sinking into the ground?

 I answered -> Board have large area which decreases the pressure. ( how I should write in proper way)??...


 Please help me I'm waiting u all to answer all the time....

Please help me ...

 Thank you very much in advance .....

Your answer to Q1 is excellent.

Q2. Correct . A bit brief though . Are you expected to know the   mechanism that causes the screen coating of fluorescent chemicals to flash when hit by a high speed electron? Probably not., so just leave your answer.

Q3. The North pole of a magnet is the bit of  the magnet that is attracted northwards by the Earth's magnetic field ( when the magnet is suspended in such a way that it is free to turn ). Since the North pole of the magnet is attracted towards he South pole of any other magnet, this means that close to the     Earth's North Geographic Pole, there must be a South Magnetic Pole.

Q4 Yes - the molecules of a hot solid are vibrating with greater speed and they are ( usually ) slightly further apart. Which means that hot objects have expanded a little. ( Not all heated objects expand - water, when heated from 0˚C to 4 ˚C , will actually contract.... and this is very important for the survival of life )

Q5 The board has a much greater   surface area than the area of the    4 feet of the    chair and so , with the same weight of  person sitting on the  chair, the pressure exerted by the board on the ground will be far less than  the pressure from the chair legs .

You have it all right really ;-)
