Question 9 [ Introduction In Physics]


Diagram1 below shows a thermometer.










Diagram 9
You are required to give some suggestions to design an efficient alcohol thermometer to be
used in physics research expedition at North Pole. Using your knowledge about heat and
properties of materials, explain how to build a thermometer which can function effectively
based on the following aspects:
(i) Strength of thermometer
(ii) Sensitivity of thermometer
(iii) Design of the thermometer so that the scale can easily be read
(iv) Freezing point of the liquid
(v) Thickness of the glass bulbs wall [10 marks]



Suggestion Explanations





Question 10 [ Forces and Motion]
Diagram 10 below shows a rocket.

Diagram 1
You are required to give some suggestions to design a rocket which can travel in the outer space
with higher acceleration. Using the knowledge on forces and motion and the properties of
materials, explain the suggestions based on the following aspects:
(i) the shape of the rocket
(ii) the material used to build the rocket
(iii) additional supply needed that enable the rocket to move in outer space
(iv) the structure of the rocket to accelerate.
(v) size of the combustion chamber

Question 9 [Introduction to Physics]

Suggestion Explanations
Thermometer is made from transparent
glass that is strong

It is not easily broken
The capillary tube is made narrow and thin It is more sensitive
The shape of the thermometer is
round/streamline

It has a magnifying effect

The liquid has low freezing point
It can measure very low temperature/ not freeze at low
temperature
Thin glass bulbs wall Absorb / transfer heat faster

Question 10 [Forces & Motion]

Suggestion Explanations
Aerodynamic shape / stream line/
torpedo
Reduce air resistance
Low density material //
Strong material// high boiling point
Lighter //
Does not break easily// does not melt easily

Has liquid oxygen
Boosting combustion // supply oxygen for
combustion
Retro rocket /Has several stages that can
slip/strip off
To decrease mass
Increase the size of combustion chamber More space for the fuel to be burnt


Question 11 [Forces & Motion]

Characteristic Explanation
Low density Small mass/light
Many/fewer/very few studs Gives extra/higher grip
Expansion effect is low Always fits/Does not loosen when hot.
Ability to stretch is good Less stress on the feet/
Can be pushed in all directions/
Can walk on uneven surface.

Q
Because it has a low density,many studs,low
expansion effect and good ability to stretch.




Question 12 [Forces & Pressure]

Characteristic Explanation
Made of concrete Stronger / Not easy to break
// metal can rust easily
low density lighter / the structure that hold the tank able to
withstand the weight of tank
thicker wall at the bottom // Diagram able to withstand the higher pressure at the bottom
height from ground is high to produce a greater difference in pressure
R Made of concrete, low density,
thicker wall at the bottom, height from ground is high
