Question 8

A student wants to take a particularly accurate measurement of the volume of liquid in a


measuring cylinder.

Which of the following procedures would make her measurement ​less​ accurate?

A Putting her eyes level with the height of the measurement to be taken.

B Reading the liquid level from the bottom of the meniscus.

A particularly diligent student wants to measure the volume of some liquid for an
experiment. She has two measuring cylinders available, a large 250 ml one and a small
50 ml one. The liquid will fit into either of the two measuring cylinders.

As expected, the liquid forms a meniscus where it touches the sides of either measuring
cylinder.

Which cylinder should the student use to get the most accurate result, and from where
should she measure the liquid level?

Measuring Reading taken from


cylinder

A large Top of meniscus

B large Bottom of meniscus

Question 11

A scientist is trying to determine the volume of three identical pieces of a new material.
She places them in a measuring cylinder, as shown in the diagram.

The first cylinder shows the level of water in the measuring cylinder before the pieces
are added, and the second cylinder shows the measuring cylinder with the pieces of the
new material inside.

Question 12

A student is trying to see how quickly they can run 5.0 km on a standard 400 m running
track.

They reason that, if they know how fast they can run one lap, they can assume they will
run at the same speed for 5.0 km, and can calculate their predicted time.

They, correctly, reason that they will not be able to maintain their initial pace throughout
the whole 5.0 km, so they decide to time lap 5.

The diagram shows the reading on the stopwatch at the beginning and the end of lap 5.

Calculate how long it should take the student to run 5.0 km.

A 36 minutes 52.5 seconds

B 24 minutes 22.5 seconds

C 13 minutes 0 seconds

D 9 minutes 45 seconds.
