Question 1

A large ship can adjust its floating depth by pumping water into or out of internal ballast tanks. When water is pumped into these tanks, what happens to the ship's average density and its position in the water?

Question 2

A square metal plate has a surface area of $1.5\text{ m}^2$ . What is this area expressed in square centimetres ( $\text{cm}^2$ )?

Question 3

To determine the volume of 50 small identical glass beads, a student pours $30\text{ cm}^3$ of water into a measuring cylinder and then adds all the beads. The water level rises to $42\text{ cm}^3$ . What is the volume of a single glass bead?

Question 4

An object sinks when placed in a fluid. Which of the following statements correctly describes the upthrust force acting on the object?

Question 5

Why does ice float on liquid water, whereas most other substances sink when they freeze?

Question 6

A cylindrical container with a radius of $5.0\text{ cm}$ is filled with oil to a height of $20.0\text{ cm}$ . If the density of the oil is $800\text{ kg m}^{-3}$ , what is the mass of the oil in the container? (Use $\pi \approx 3.14$ )

Question 7

A uniform solid object is cut into two pieces of unequal size. Which of the following statements correctly compares the density of the larger piece to the density of the smaller piece?

Question 8

A uniform block of material has a mass of $450\text{ g}$ and a volume of $150\text{ cm}^3$ . If this block is cut into two unequal pieces, the density of the smaller piece will be:

Question 9

A block of copper has a density of $8960\text{ kg m}^{-3}$ . If the block has a total mass of $448\text{ kg}$ , calculate the volume of the block.

V = \frac{m}{\rho}
