SPM Trial MARA 2010 ~ paper 2 ( waves )

Diagram 8.1 shows Aini trying to open the house’s front gate using a remote control. Even though Amin is blocking her, the gate can still be opened.
Rajah 8.1 menunjukkan Aini cuba membuka pintu pagar rumah dengan menggunakan alat kawalan jauh. Walaupun Amin menghalangnya pintu pagar masih boleh dibuka.
