1. A stopwatch is used to time a race. The diagrams show the watch at the
start and at the end of the race.

How long did the race take?

A 45.7 s B 46.0 s C 46.5 s D 47.0 s
2. The diagram shows a stopwatch, originally set at 00:00. When a car was
first seen, the stop-start button was pressed. When the car passed the
observer, the stopwatch showed 01:06.

How long did the car take to reach the observer?

A 1.06 s B6s C 66 s D 106 s
3. The diagrams show the times on a stopclock at the beginning and at the
end of an experiment.

How long did the experiment take?

A 10s B 25s C 35s D 45s

4. A student is collecting water as it runs into a measuring cylinder. She

uses a clock to measure the time interval between measurements. Th e
level of the water in the cylinder is shown at two times, together with the
clock at these times.

Calculate:
a. the volume of water collected between these two times
b. the time interval.
5. Two digital stopwatches X and Y, which record in minutes and seconds,
are used to time a race. The readings of the two stopwatches, at the start
and at the end of the race, are shown.

Which statement about the time of the race is correct?

6. A stopwatch is used to time a student running a 1500m race.

7. A pendulum is swinging. Five students each measure the time it takes to

swing through ten complete swings. Three students measure the time as
17.2s. Another student measures it as 16.9cm and the fifth student
measures it as 17.0s. What is the average period of the pendulum?
A. 1.69s B. 1.70s C. 1.71s D. 1.72s
8. Many television sets show 25 images, called ‘frames’, each second. What
is the time interval between one frame and the next?
9. A pendulum is timed, first for 20 swings and then for 50 swings: time for
20 swings = 17.4 s time for 50 swings = 43.2 s.
a. Calculate the average time per swing in each case. ‘
b. Th e answers are slightly different. Suggest some possible
experimental reasons for this.
10. A pendulum is set in motion and 20 complete swings are timed.
The time measured is 30s. What is the time for one complete swing of the
pendulum?
A. 0.67s B. 0.75s C. 1.5s D. 3.0s
