Question 2

[Maximum number: 1]

Two rectangular blocks consist of different materials.
Four different methods are suggested to compare the two masses.
1 Compare the accelerations with which they fall freely.
2 Compare the values of their lengths × breadths × heights.
3 Hang each in turn from the same spring. Compare the extensions.
4 Place one in the right-hand pan of a beam balance and the other in the left-hand pan.

Which methods give a comparison of the two masses?

A

1, 2 and 3

B

1 and 2 only

C

3 and 4 only

D

4 only

Question 3

[Maximum number: 1]

Which property of a body results from the effect of a gravitational field on its mass?

A

the ability of the body to resist a change in motion

B

the density of the body

C

the volume of the body

D

the weight of the body

Question 4

[Maximum number: 1]

A box is initially at rest at the top of a rough slope.
The box slides down the slope.
The weight of the box is 20 N .
The slope is 4.0 m long and 2.0 m high.

Figure for Question 4 — CAIE IGCSE Physics

The box does 10 J of work against friction as it slides down the slope.
What is the speed of the box as it reaches the bottom of the slope?

A

5.4 m/s5.4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

B

6.3 m/s6.3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

C

7.1 m/s7.1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

D

9.5 m/s9.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
