9. Experiments are carried out on the Moon and on Earth. There is no atmosphere on the
Moon and the gravitational field strength on the Moon is less than that on Earth.
A coin and a feather are dropped at the same instant from the same height.
Which statement is correct for the experiment on the Moon?
A The coin falls faster than the feather, but both take a longer time than on Earth.
B The coin falls faster than the feather, but both take a shorter time than on Earth.
C They fall together, taking a longer time than the coin takes on Earth.
D They fall together, taking a shorter time than the coin takes on Earth. ( C )

20. A student is trying to find the density of a stone, but he has mixed up the instruction cards.
21. A 15 g of ice at −10 °C with a volume 16.5 cm3 is added to 20 g of water at 30 °C and
volume 20 cm3 in a cup. The cup of ice and water is left on the table and the temperature
is allowed to stabilise to 30 °C. What was the final density of the water?
A 0.95 g cm−3
B 0.96 g cm−3
C 1.0 g cm−3
D 1.10 g cm−3 ( C )

1. A student checks the purity of a small, uniform bar of
gold by measuring its density.
He measures the dimensions of the bar. The values are
shown on the figure.
(a) The student has written down every digit of the
readings from the measuring instrument that he used.
Suggest the name of the instrument used. [1]
(b) He measures the mass of the bar as 176.8 g and the weight of the bar as 1.80 N.
(i) Calculate the gravitational field strength where the measurements were made. [1]
(ii) Calculate the density of the bar. Give your answer in g/cm3. [3]
