A measuring cylinder is used to measure the volume of a quantity of water?

Which measuring technique would NOT improve the accuracy of the measurement?

• making sure that the measuring cylinder is vertical

• making sure that the water surface is at eye level

• reading the top of the water meniscus

• using the smallest measuring cylinder available that will contain all the water

Drops of water are dripping steadily from a tap (faucet). The diagram shows a measuring cylinder which has collected 120 drops of water.

How many drops in total will have been collected when the measuring cylinder reads 9cm3?

• 240

• 270

• 300

• 320

Diagram 1 shows a measuring cylinder containing water.

Diagram 2 shows the same measuring cylinder and water after 10 identical solid glass spheres have been added.

The mass of one of the spheres is 10g.

What is the density of the glass from which the spheres are made?

• 0.25 g/cm3

• 0.40 g/cm3

• 2.5 g/cm3

• 4.0 g/cm3

The diagram shows an experiment to find the density of a liquid.

What is the density of the liquid?

• 0.5 g/cm3

• 2.0 g/cm3

• 8.0 g/cm3

• 10.0 g/cm3

A beam pivoted at one end has a force of 5.0 N acting vertically upwards on it as shown. The beam is in equilibrium.

What is the weight of the beam?

• 2.0 N

• 3.0 N

• 3.3 N

• 5.0 N

The diagrams shows a non-uniform beam of weight 120 N, pivoted at one end. The beam is kept in equilibrium by force F.

What is the value of force F?

• 30 N

• 40 N

• 360 N

• 480 N

A geologist places a small rock on the left-hand pan of a balance. The two pans are level as shown when masses with a total weight of 23 N are placed on the right-hand pan. Take the weight of 1.0 kg to be 10 N.

What is the mass of the small rock?

• 0.023 kg

• 2.3 kg

• 23 kg

• 230 kg

A child sits on a rubber ball and bounces up and down on the ground.

What stays the same when the ball hits the ground?

• the acceleration of the ball

• the mass of the ball

• the shape of the ball

• the velocity of the ball

Two blocks of metal X and Y hang from spring balances, as shown in the diagrams.

What does the diagram show about X and Y?

• They have the same mass and the same volume but different weights

• They have the same mass and the same weight but different volumes

• They have the same mass, volume, and weight

• They have the same weight and the same volume but different masses

A train begins a journey from a station and travels 60 km in a time of 20 minutes.

What is the average speed of the train?

• 3.0 m/s

• 5.0 m/s

• 50 m/s

• 60 m/s
