Which of the following gives the sub-multiples or multiples represented by pico (p) and giga (G)?
Answer
-
A pico (p) = 10^-9; giga (G) = 10^9
-
B pico (p) = 10^-9; giga (G) = 10^12
-
C pico (p) = 10^-12; giga (G) = 10^9
-
D pico (p) = 10^-12; giga (G) = 10^12
Question 3
Question
A metal sphere of radius r is dropped into a tank of water. As it sinks at speed v, it experiences a drag force F given by F = kr v, where k is a constant.
What are the SI base units of k?

Question 11
Question
A student finds the density of a liquid by measuring its mass and its volume. The following is a summary of his measurements.
mass of empty beaker = (20 ± 1) g
mass of beaker + liquid = (70 ± 1) g
volume of liquid = (10.0 ± 0.6) cm^3
He correctly calculates the density of the liquid as 5.0 g cm^–3.
What is the uncertainty in this value?
Answer
-
A 0.3 g cm^–3
-
B 0.5 g cm^–3
-
C 0.6 g cm^–3
-
D 2.6 g cm^–3

Answer
-
A (2.00 ± 0.01) A
-
B (2.00 ± 0.02) A
-
C (2.00 ± 0.03) A
-
D (2.00 ± 0.04) A
