  1. 1A ruler is used to measure the length of a nail.
    What is the length of the nail?
    Image for question 1
    1. A1.3 cm
    2. B2.9 cm
    3. C5.2 cm
    4. D8.1 cm
  2. 2In an experiment, two students investigated the speed and frequency of waves on the sea. This is shown is Fig. 3.1.
    The two students stood 60 metres apart on a pier that projected a long way into the sea.
    Student A waved his hand when a wave passed him. At that moment, student B started a clock.
    Student B watched the wave as it moved towards him. When the wave reached him, he stopped the clock.
    The students repeated this procedure until they had four results. Fig. 3.2 shows the clock dials for the four results.
    Read the dials and then determine:
    (i) the average time taken for the wave to travel 60.0 metres .
    (ii) the average speed of the wave.
    Image for question 2
    1. A(i) 45.5 s (ii) 0.76 m/s
    2. B(i) 46 s (ii) 0.77 m/s
    3. C(i) 45.5 s (ii) 0.8 m/s
    4. D(i) 46 s (ii) 0.8 m/s
  3. 3Fig. 2.1 shows the lower surface of a leaf from a dicotyledonous plant, on a 1 cm^2 grid.
    Calculate the surface area of the leaf in Fig. 2.1.
    Surface area = [blank_start]33[blank_end] cm^2.    Image for question 3
    1. A33
  4. 4The diagram shows the height of a stack of identical coins.
    What is the thickness of one coin?     Image for question 4
    1. AA) 0.20 mm
    2. BB) 2.0 mm
    3. CC) 0.24 cm
    4. DD) 2.0 cm
  5. 5A student is investigating a coloured mixture using chromatography.
    Where should the student place the coloured mixture?
    1. AA) in the solvent
    2. BB) just above the pencil line
    3. CC) just below the pencil line
    4. DD) on the pencil line
  6. 6The diagrams show liquids in a burette and a measuring cylinder.
    Which row shows the correct readings for the burette and the measuring cylinder?     Image for question 6
    1. AAImage for option A
    2. BBImage for option B
    3. CCImage for option C
    4. DDImage for option D
  7. 7The diagram shows the steps in the preparation of a salt.
    What are the names of the processes taking place in steps 3 and 4?
    Image for question 7
    1. Astep 3: evaporation; step 4: distillation
    2. Bstep 3: filtration; step 4: condensation
    3. Cstep 3: filtration; step 4: evaporation
    4. Dstep 3: condensation; step 4: evaporation
  8. 8The diagram shows two readings taken with the same burette.
    What is the change in the volume of the liquid in the burette between the two readings?
    1. AA) - 5.5 ml
    2. BB) + 25.5 ml
    3. CC) - 25.5 ml
    4. DD) not possible to know.
  9. 9A student uses a measuring cylinder to measure the volume of some water. The diagram shows part of the measuring cylinder. The top and bottom of the meniscus are labelled.
    What is the volume of the water?     Image for question 9
    1. AA) 47.0 cm^3
    2. BB) 47.5 cm^3
    3. CC) 49.0 cm^3
    4. DD) 49.5 cm^3
  10. 10The diagram shows four identical spheres placed between two wooden blocks on a ruler.
    What is the diameter of one sphere?     Image for question 10
    1. AA) 1.0 cm
    2. BB) 2.0 cm
    3. CC) 3.0 cm
    4. DD) 4.0 cm
