THIRD TRIMESTER FINAL ASSESSMENT

11TH GRADE

SUBJECT: PHYSICS SCORE: _________

NAME: _________________________________

Questions 1 through 5 will assess achievement 11-SC-Ph-H-13 and 11-SC-Ph-H-14 dealing with Hydrostatics and Pascal’s law. Questions 6 through 12 will assess
achievement 11-SC-Ph-G-12 dealing with the Kinetic theory of gasses. Solve the problems INSIDE each rectangle. Answers with no procedures or justifications will
GIVE YOU ZERO MARKS IN THE FINAL SCORE. For all processes follow the Understand-Plan-Answer-Check approach to solve problems.

1. Explain the concept of Pascal's principle and provide an example of its application in everyday life. (10 pts):
2. A rectangular container with a base area of 0.5 m² is filled with water (𝜌 = 1000 𝑘𝑔/𝑚3) to a height of 2 meters. Calculate the pressure
exerted by the water on the container's base. (8 pts)

3. What is Archimedes' principle, and how does it relate to buoyancy? Provide an example to illustrate this principle. (8 pts)

4. A cylindrical tank with a radius of 1.5 meters is filled with oil (𝜌 = 950 𝑘𝑔/𝑚3 ) to a height of 4 meters. Determine the total pressure at the
bottom of the tank. (8 pts)

5. Differentiate between absolute pressure and gauge pressure. Explain how they are related. (8 pts):
6. A hydraulic press has an input piston with an area of 0.02 m² and an output piston with an area of 0.1 m². If a force of 500 N is applied to the
input piston, calculate the force exerted by the output piston. (8 pts)

7. Describe the kinetic theory of gases and explain how it relates to the macroscopic properties of gases, such as pressure and temperature. (10
pts)

8. A sample of nitrogen gas occupies a volume of 2.5 L at a temperature of 300 K. If the volume is reduced to 1.5 L while keeping the temperature
constant, calculate the final pressure of the gas. (8 pts)

9. What is meant by the root mean square (rms) speed of gas molecules? How does it relate to the temperature of the gas? (8 pts)
10. Calculate the average kinetic energy of an oxygen molecule (M=0.032 kg/mol) at 27°C (8 pts)

11. Discuss the effect of increasing the temperature on the pressure of a gas while keeping the volume constant, according to the kinetic theory
of gases. (8 pts.)

12. A container holds 0.5 moles of helium gas at a temperature of 27°C. Determine the RMS velocity and the average kinetic energy of the
helium molecules in joules. (8 pts.)
