Physics Worksheet – ATP (Class X) 2. A student investigates the mixing of water.


The student places a beaker A of warm water on a bench.
Name: _____________________ Date: _______________
He places a laboratory thermometer in the water, as shown in Fig. 2.1a.
1. A GCE student is investigating moments using a simple balancing
experiment. He uses a pivot on a bench as shown in Fig. 5.1.

To take the reading of the thermometer, the student lifts the thermometer
to the position shown in Fig. 2.1b.
First, the student balances the metre rule, without loads, on the pivot. He
(a) (i) On Fig. 2.1b, mark the position of the student’s eye when taking the
finds that it does not balance at the 50.0 cm mark, as he expects, but it
reading. [1]
balances at the 49.7 cm mark.
(ii) Explain why the student lifts the thermometer. [1]
Load Q is a metal cylinder with diameter a little larger than the width of
(iii) Explain why the thermometer is not removed from the water to take
the metre rule, so that it covers the markings on the rule. Load Q is placed
the reading. [1]
carefully on the balanced metre rule with its centre at the 84.2 cm mark.
(iv) Fig. 2.2 shows the scale on the thermometer.
The rule does not slip on the pivot.
(a) Draw on Fig. 5.1 the metre rule with load Q on it. [2]
(b) Explain, using a labelled diagram, how the student would ensure that the
metre rule reading at the centre of Q is 84.2 cm. [2]
(c) Calculate the distance between the pivot and the centre of load Q. [1]
State the temperature shown on the thermometer. [1]
(b) The student leaves the water in beaker A until it reaches room temperature
of 25 °C.
He then takes a large beaker B containing 150 cm3 of hot water at 86 °C,
as shown in Fig. 2.3.
He transfers 60 cm3 of
water from beaker A to
beaker B, and measures the
new temperature of the
water in beaker B. The
student repeats this several
times to obtain the results
shown in Fig. 2.4.
The student did not include
the column headings in the
table.
(i) On Fig. 2.4, add the correct headings. [2]
(ii) On Fig. 2.5, plot a graph of the student’s results with temperature on
the y-axis. Start your axes from the values given on Fig. 2.5. Draw
the smooth curve of best fit. [4] (iii)The student repeats the experiment with the same initial conditions.
He transfers 40 cm3 of water to beaker B each time. Use Fig. 2.5 to
find the temperature when a total of 80 cm3 is transferred. [1]
(iv) Explain why beaker B needs to be large. [1]
(v) Use your graph to explain why it is not possible to continue the
experiment to the point when the water in beaker B reaches room
temperature of 25 °C. [1]
