Resource summary

Question 1

Question
A ruler is used to measure the length of a nail. What is the length of the nail?
Answer
  • 1.3 cm
  • 2.9 cm
  • 5.2 cm
  • 8.1 cm

Question 2

Question
In an experiment, two students investigated the speed and frequency of waves on the sea. This is shown is Fig. 3.1. The two students stood 60 metres apart on a pier that projected a long way into the sea. Student A waved his hand when a wave passed him. At that moment, student B started a clock. Student B watched the wave as it moved towards him. When the wave reached him, he stopped the clock. The students repeated this procedure until they had four results. Fig. 3.2 shows the clock dials for the four results. Read the dials and then determine: (i) the average time taken for the wave to travel 60.0 metres . (ii) the average speed of the wave.
Answer
  • (i) 45.5 s (ii) 0.76 m/s
  • (i) 46 s (ii) 0.77 m/s
  • (i) 45.5 s (ii) 0.8 m/s
  • (i) 46 s (ii) 0.8 m/s

Question 3

Question
Fig. 2.1 shows the lower surface of a leaf from a dicotyledonous plant, on a 1 cm^2 grid. Calculate the surface area of the leaf in Fig. 2.1. Surface area = [blank_start]33[blank_end] cm^2.
Answer
  • 33

Question 4

  • step 3: filtration; step 4: evaporation
  • step 3: condensation; step 4: evaporation

Question 8

Question
The diagram shows two readings taken with the same burette. What is the change in the volume of the liquid in the burette between the two readings?
Answer
  • A) - 5.5 ml
  • B) + 25.5 ml
  • C) - 25.5 ml
  • D) not possible to know.

Answer
  • A) 160 g
  • B) 80 g
  • C) 360 g
  • D) 160 g

Question 12

Question
A falling object pulls a paper strip through a timer. The timer marks dots on the paper strip at intervals of 0.020 s. The diagram shows a section of the paper strip with the first three dots marked. What are the average speeds of the falling object in each of the first two 0.020 intervals?
Answer
  • A) 1st interval: 0.095 m/s; 2nd interval: 0. 38 m/s
  • B) 1st interval: 0.095 m/s; 2nd interval: 0. 285 m/s
