Q16
A sharp knife cuts bread better than a blunt one because its
blade is narrow and so has a smaller surface _AREA_ in
contact with the bread. A smaller surface AREA___ means
that for the same downward _FORCE____ the knife exerts a
greater _PRESSURE_ and so cuts the bread more easily.
Q17

area 50 cm2 and weight 5N.
P =F/A

A girl lifts a suitcase of mass 4 kg up by 0.5 metre.
(a) What is the weight of the suitcase?
W = ma = 4 x 10 = 40N
(b) What is the minimum force that she must exert upwards on
the case in order to lift it?
40 N
(c) How much work must she do?
W = F x d = 40 x 0.5 = 20 Joules
Hot air rises because when air molecules are heated they move
more RAPIDLY and take up more space. This increase in
volume for the SAME mass of gas results in a decrease in the
DENSITY of the heated air. The hotter air therefore rises
above the surrounding, colder, more dense air. This movement
of air constitutes a CONVECTION current.

Carbon 14 dating can be used to estimate the AGE of a piece
of a wooden building found on an archaeological site.
Living material contains a known ratio of carbon 14 to other
isotopes of CARBON. Carbon 14 is unstable and so the
amount contained by the SAMPLE falls away once the tree it
was part of dies. By measuring how much CARBON 14 is left
in the old piece of wood it is possible date when the wood was
used to make the building and so how long ago the building
was constructed.
