Class 9 Physics Worksheet Final

This document contains a science test with 5 multiple choice questions about physics concepts like force, speed, and motion. It also describes an experiment to determine the period of a pendulum. A student measures the time for 20 oscillations of a pendulum 3 times and calculates the average period. To improve accuracy, a card with a thin black line can be placed behind the pendulum to judge when an oscillation is complete.

C N Kg
D N N
2. The displacement of a moving object can be found from
A Area under displacement-time graph

3. A ruler is used to measure the length of a nail, as shown.

What is the length of the nail?


A 2.1 cm
B 3.3 cm
C 5.4 cm
D 7.5 cm
4. A man takes 30 min to walk 4 km to a station. He then immediately gets on a train
that takes 60 minutes to travel 100km.
What is the average speed for the man’s complete journey?
A 1.2km/hour

C 54km/hour
D 69km/hour
5. Which change can not be caused by a force acting on an object?

2. A student determines the period T of a pendulum.

(a) She uses the apparatus shown in Fig. 3.1.

pendulum

Fig. 3.1
The period T is the time it takes for the pendulum to complete one full oscillation (from S to
P, P to Q and then from Q back to S), as shown in Fig. 3.2.

• The student pulls the pendulum a few centimetres to one side and releases it.
• She measures the time for 20 complete oscillations of the pendulum using a
stop-watch.
• She records, in Table 3.1, the time for 20 oscillations of the pendulum, to the nearest
0.01 s.
• She repeats this measurement two more times, recording the results in Table 3.1.

Table 3.1

time for 20 oscillations / s period T / s


26.72 1.34

26.61 1.33

(i) Explain why the student measures the time for 20 oscillations rather than just one
oscillation.

Ans Because one oscillation is too quick


Fig. 3.3 shows her final stop-watch reading.

Read and record in Table 3.1 the time to the nearest 0.01 s for 20 oscillations of
the pendulum.

(b) (i) Calculate the period T of the pendulum for this final
result. Use the equation shown.

T = time for 20 oscillations = 26.43 seconds


20

Record your answer in Table 3.1. Give your answer to the nearest 0.01 s. [1]

(ii) Calculate the average value of T from the student’s results.

average T = 1.34, 1.33 s

(c) Describe how the student can use a piece of white card with
a thin black line drawn on it to improve the accuracy of the
measurements made in this experiment.
Ans: Card placed behind pendulum and black line aligned
with pendulum, as it hangs vertically/before it swings; It
helps people to judge when oscillation is complete.
