1 A student has a measuring cylinder and a small, irregularly shaped piece of metal. The piece of
metal can easily fit into the measuring cylinder.

Describe how the student can use the measuring cylinder and some water to find the volume of
the metal.

4 The diagram shows a wind turbine.

 2

The wind blows at a speed of 16 m / s towards the turbine blades. In one second, a volume of
3
24 000 m of air passes through the circular area swept out by the blades. The density of air is
3
1.3 kg / m .

(a) Calculate the mass of air that passes through the circular area swept out by the blades in 1.0 s.

mass= .............................................. [2]

(b) Calculate the kinetic energy of the mass of air that passes through the area swept out by the
blades.

kinetic energy = .............................................. [2]

5 The diagram shows liquid in a cylinder.

The table gives some data about the cylinder and the liquid.

radius of cylinder 3.5 cm

weight of empty cylinder 2.5 N

depth of liquid 12.0 cm

3
density of liquid 900 kg / m

The cylinder containing liquid is placed on a digital balance that displays the mass in kg.

Calculate the reading shown on the balance.

reading .............................................. kg [4]
