1 A surveyor measures the dimensions of a room of constant height. Fig. 2.1 is a top view of the
room and shows the measurements taken.
6.01 m

4.25 m

6.75 m

3.26 m

(a) State an instrument that would be suitable to take these measurements.

(b) The volume of air in the room is 76.4 m3. The density of the air is 1.2 kg / m3.

Calculate the mass of air in the room.

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

(c) A window in the room is open. The next day, the temperature of the room has increased, but
the pressure of the air has stayed the same.

State and explain what has happened to the mass of air in the room.

The mass of the hammer head is 0.15 kg.

The speed of the hammer head when it hits the nail is 8.0 m / s.
The time for which the hammer head is in contact with the nail is 0.0015 s.

The hammer head stops after hitting the nail.

(a) Calculate the change in momentum of the hammer head.
