Science Test

1. Which of these substances has the lowest density?


a. Solid
b. Liquid
c. Gas
2. Arun has some solid blocks with different densities. State how the density of a solid
block should compare with water if the block is to float on water.
3. Complete the equation for density.
a. density = ------------------
4. Calculate the density of each of these substances.
a. A 56 g mass of propane that has a volume of 100 cm3.
b. A 170 g mass of brass that has a volume of 20 cm3.
5. Marcus has a model boat with a volume of 250 cm 3. Calculate the maximum mass of this
boat that will float in water. The density of water is 1.0 g/cm3.
6. Sofia has two cups of coffee. The volume of coffee in both cups is the same. One cup of
coffee is at 55 °C. The other cup of coffee is at 30 °C. Which statements are true?
a. the temperature of the coffee in each cup is different
b. the temperature of the coffee in each cup is the same
c. the heat in the coffee in each cup is different
d. the heat in the coffee in each cup is the same
7. Two solid blocks are at 20 °C. One block has double the mass of the other block. Explain
how the heat and temperature of the blocks compare. Use ideas about particles.
8. Marcus uses an electric immersion heater to heat water. Marcus measures the heat
supplied to the water and the temperature of the water at regular intervals. His results
are in the table.
a. Marcus thinks that one of his results is anomalous.
i. State which result is anomalous
ii. Describe what Marcus could do about this result.
b. Use the results in the table to estimate
i. the quantity of heat supplied when the temperature of the water was 19
°C.
ii. the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of the water to 30
°C
9. A car engine changes chemical energy to thermal and kinetic energy. A total of 3500 J of
thermal and kinetic energy are changed. Write down the quantity of chemical energy
changed in the engine.
10. An electric lamp changes electrical energy to light and thermal energy. Explain how the
law of conservation of energy applies to this electric lamp.
11. A motorcycle engine uses 2400 J of chemical energy in fuel. The thermal energy changed
is 1000 J. The sound energy changed is 600 J. The remaining energy is changed to kinetic
for movement. Calculate the quantity of kinetic energy changed by the engine.
12. Two objects are in contact. The two objects are at different temperatures. Describe the
direction of thermal energy transfer between these two objects.
13. Sofia makes a cup of hot coffee. She adds cold milk to the coffee. Explain what happens
to the temperature of the coffee and the temperature of the milk.
14. Explain why conduction of heat occurs more easily in solids than in gases.
15. Explain why convection can occur in liquids and gases but not in solids
16. Explain why radiation can occur in a vacuum while conduction and convection cannot
occur in a vacuum.
17. Explain why houses in hot countries are often painted white.
18. A plastic box with shiny silver aluminium foil on the inside can be used to keep food hot.
Explain how this works
19. A type of air cooler works by blowing air from the room through a sponge soaked in
water. Explain how blowing air through a sponge soaked in water lowers the
temperature of the air.
20. Arun has sweat on his face. The air temperature is 25 °C. Arun uses a fan to blow air
onto his face. The fan does not change the temperature of the air. Explain why the fan
helps Arun to cool (lose heat) faster.
