(c) Determine the thickness of the glass [2 marks]

Question 2 A stop watch is commonly used in the physics laboratory to measure time taken in a particular experiment. Using the appropriate physics concepts, suggest and explain suitable designs or ways (i) to protect the stop watch from breaking when dropped to the floor (ii) to obtain more accurate reading [8 marks] Question 3 A wooden block has a dimension of 15 cm x 20 cm x 30 cm. (i) What is the volume of the wooden block in cm3? Represent your answer in standard form [2 marks]

(ii)

What is the volume of the wooden block in m3? Represent your answer in standard form. [2 marks]

(iii)

If the mass of the wooden block is 15 kg and its density is defined as mass/ volume, find the density of the wooden block in SI unit. [2 marks]

(b) (c)

How should you do to increase the sensitivity of the thermometer? Why does the thermometer use mercury?

[3 marks] Question 5

Diagram above shows a parachute attached to a mans body whose weight is 65 kg when he jumps off from the plane. The ropes used are very light, strong, 36 m long and do not occupy a big space. The table below shows a few types of ropes which could be used to make the parachute. Ropes J K L M Length 3.6 X 102 mm -3 3.6 X 102 km 3.6 X 10 cm 3.6 dm Density 3 1.2 gcm-3 1.5 gcm-3 4.8 gcm-3 3.5 gcmSnapping force 450 N 950 N 650 N 1050 N Diameter 0.30 cm 7.0 X 10-3 m 0.50 cm 15 mm

You are required to state the most appropriate characteristics of the rope to be Used for the parachute. Then, determine which rope from the table above perfectly fits the characteristics that you have given. Justify your answer. [10 marks]

1 (a) i) External diameter ii) Internal diameter (b) Diagram 1 = 2.03 cm Diagram 2 = 1.70 cm (c) Thickness of the glass = 2.03 cm -1.70 cm = 0.33 cm 2 Characteristics/ ways/design i) Casing is made from soft material Transparent covering is made from strong and ii) Increase the divisions in durable plastic the scale Take a few reading and calculate the average 3(i) (ii) Reason Increase impact time, hence reducing impulsive force To prevent it from shattering if fall onto the floor To detect smaller change in reading To obtain more accurate reading/reduce random errors

volume = 15cm x 20cm x 30 cm = 9000 cm3 = 9.0 x 103 cm3 volume = 9.0 x 103 cm3 = 9.0 x 10-3 m3.

(iii) Density = mass / volume = 15 kg / 9.0 x 10-3 m3 = 1.67 x 103 kg m-3

4 (a)To transfer heat faster from surroundings to the mercury (b)The thermometer is made longer with finer scales (c) Mercury does not vaporize/ conducts heat well/ does not wet the sides of the tube/ thread opaque 5 -The length of the rope is according the length needed, so that the parachute is easier to navigate -The density of the rope has to be small to make it light - The snapping force is larger to ensure that the rope is not easily break. - The diameter of the rope must smaller, occupy a smaller space, easily to maneuver -The best choice is K because the length is according the length needed, low density, snapping force is big and small diameter
