[P5G]

Please help.



Q15.

http://www.orlesson.org/orp/09Sc/2009-Sc-CA2-Nanyang.pdf


My answer is 2 since it does not mention that the experiement is repeated with more or less strokes.

But worksheet answer is 4.


Please advise which answer is correct.


TIA.

Hi P5G, the answer is more inclined towards 4, as it did not specifically mention that the strokes he used increased or decreased, he jusat stroked it once and used the magnetised nail....

http://www.orlesson.org/orp/09Sc/2009-Sc-CA2-Nanyang.pdf

I would think the ans is 2 too.

Isn't this expt is trying to show how an iron nail can be magnetised by the stroke method?

I think the answer is 2 and the answer key might have been a typo.

It has to be 2. to determine the relationship between 2 pieces of data, you need at least 2 set-ups though 3 is usually preferred

Yes, I agreed.

Hi,


Referring to Q24 of this paper http://www.orlesson.org/orp/09Sc/2009-Sc-CA1-MahaBodhi.pdf

Need some help to understand why the answer is (3) A and C only [I thought it is (4) cos if evaporation has taken place, then there will a reduction in volume as well as a reduction in weight.] Some advices please. Thanks!

Hi

In primary science, students learned about the three states of water. They are solid(ice),liquid(water) and gas (steam or water vapour).

In this question, substance X is not labelled. Students who are familiar with States of Matter should be able to see that there is a change of state from solid to liquid. Naturally, the change from ice to water may come to mind as this is probably the only example in their primary science textbook (as far as I can remember while going through my boy’s book last year).

You have correctly pointed out that there will be evaporation. However, the key point is here is what you observe after two hours. Undeniably, the liquid evaporates, but the amount may be insignificantly or too negligible for us to see noticeable changes in weight.Hence option (3) is a logical answer based on the context in the question.

However if the question states that the set up is left overnight, I’d venture to say that there will be change of weight as the amount of water evaporated may be significant enough to influence the weight.

Best wishes

The change in volume is due to change in temp (expand when warm?)?

The answer given is 1
I think it should be B and C ( there is no such option)
