A liquid of volume 2.00 m3 and density 1.00 x 103 is mixed with 3.00 m3 of another liquid of density 8.00 x 103kg m-3. Calculate the density of the mixture [Assuming there is no chemical reaction]

A.

5.20 x 102 kg m-3

B.

1.13 x 103 kg m-3

C.

8.80 x 102 kg m-3

D.

5.20 x 102 kg m-3

Correct answer is D

\(V_T = 5m^3, m_1 = 2 \times 1 \times 10^3 = 2 \times 10^3\)

\(M_2 = 3 \times 8 \times 10^3 = 24 \times 10^3\)

MT = 26 x 103

D = \(\frac{m}{v} = \frac{26 \times 10^3}{5} = 5.2 \times 10^3\)

Which of the following observations is not an effect of surface tension?

A.

droplets of water dripping slowly from a tap

B.

mercury spilled on a clean glass plate forms spherical droplets

C.

an insect walking across the surface of a pond

D.

Determine the magnitude of P in the diagram above

A.

16N

B.

20N

C.

32N

D.

40N

Correct answer is C

X = 50 sin30 = 30 x 0.5 = 25cm

40 x 20 = p x 25

p = \(\frac{40 \times 20}{25}\)

= 32N

The diagram above shows the speed-time graph of a car. If the car covered a total distance of 600m in 25s, calculate its maximum speed

A.

30ms-1

B.

25ms-1

C.

20ms-1

D.

15ms-1

Correct answer is A

S = \(\frac{1}{2} (a + b)h\)

60 = \(\frac{1}{2}(15 + 25)h\)

h = \(\frac{1200}{40} = 30\)m/s
