[1] 13 © OCR 2022 Turn over 5 Kai watches as a metal bar is heated up. After some heating it starts to glow red. After more heating it appears orange and finally yellow. Kai tries to explain what happens. Cold objects do not emit radiation. When the bar has been heated for a long enough time it starts to emit red light. The longer it is heated the more colour changes happen. It stops emitting red wavelengths and gives out orange wavelengths. Finally, it changes to emit yellow wavelengths. Kai Explain what is wrong with Kai’s explanation. .......................................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................................... .....................................................................................................................................................

The image shows a helicopter carrying a large bag of rock. (a) Draw a free body force diagram for the bag of rock when the helicopter is stationary in the air above the dam. [3] 15 © OCR 2022 Turn over (b) The height of the water in the reservoir was reduced by removing 966000m3 of water. (i) Calculate the weight of this volume of water.
