1- The diagram shows the height of a stack of identical coins.

The coin is a dime with a diameter of 17.9 mm. If the coin’s weight is 2.268 g,
calculate the density of the coin? (Give your answer in kg/liter)
Ans:
To calculate the density of one coin, first we need to find the volume of the coin.
And to find the volume of the coin, we need the radius and the height of the coin.
• Determine the height of a single coin:
The stack of coins is 2.4 cm high, and the stack has 12 coins.
So, the height of a single coin would be,
ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑠 2.4 𝑐𝑚
ℎ= = = 0.2 𝑐𝑚
𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑠 12

Since the diameter of the coin is 17.9 mm, so the radius r is:
𝑑 17.9 𝑚𝑚
𝑟= = = 8.95 𝑚𝑚
2 2

Now before we calculate the volume of the coin, we need to convert the units to
decimeter (remember that 1 liter = 1 dm3), it’s much easier to do it now before
finding the volume or density.
1 𝑑𝑚 = 10 𝑐𝑚
1 𝑐𝑚 = 10 𝑚𝑚 −≫ 1 𝑑𝑚 = 100 𝑚𝑚
𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑔𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑖𝑔𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑤𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒

ℎ= = 0.02 𝑑𝑚

8.95 𝑚𝑚
𝑟= = 0.0895 𝑑𝑚
100
𝑉 = 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ = 3.14 × (0.0895 𝑑𝑚 )2 × 0.02 𝑑𝑚 = 0.000503 𝑑𝑚3
𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑛 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑚𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 = 5.03 × 10−4 𝑑𝑚3
𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑠 0.000503 𝑑𝑚3

Now all we need to do is convert the mass to the appropriate unit and find the
density.
2.268 𝑔
𝑚= = 0.002268 𝑘𝑔
1000
Now we find the density,
0.002268 𝑘𝑔 𝑘𝑔
𝜌= = 4.51
0.000503 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟

2- A pendulum makes 50 complete swings in 3 min 35.12 s.


What is the time period for 1 complete oscillation?
Ans:
Before we find the time for one complete oscillation, we first need to convert the
units to seconds (it’s much easier to do subtracting and dividing with the same unit)

Time for 50 oscillations = 3 min × 60 + 35.12 s = 215.12 s


The time taken to finish all 50 swings is 215.12 s, so to find the time for one swing:
𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑠𝑐𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 215.12 𝑠
𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑜𝑠𝑐𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 = = = 4.3 𝑠
𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑠𝑐𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 50

3- Five athletes P, Q, R, S and T compete in a race. The table shows the finishing times
for the athletes.
Athlete P Q R S T
Finishing time/ s 22.50 24.40 25.20 26.50 23.20

Which statement is correct?


A- Athlete P won the race and was 0.70 s ahead of the athlete in second place.
B- Athlete S won the race and was 1.30 s ahead of the athlete in second place.
C- Athlete S won the race and was 2.10 s ahead of the athlete in second place.
D- Athlete P won the race and was 1.90 s ahead of the athlete in second place.

Ans: A

6- How long will it take a coach travelling at 90 km/h to travel 300 km along a highway?
Ans:
The question is asking us “how long”, meaning we need to find time.
We are given the speed (90 km/h) and the distance (300 km)

𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 300 𝑘𝑚


𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 = => 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 = = = 3.33 ℎ
𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 90 𝑘𝑚/ℎ
