An experiment was carried out using the apparatus shown in the figure above. The following steps were carried out:Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 : : : The copper cylinder and copper ring were heated until both reached 650 o C. The copper cylinder and copper ring were immediately placed in beaker L and M. The temperature of the water in the beakers were measured after 10 minutes and recorded in a table.

(a) Suggest a suitable hypothesis for this experiment. (b) Name three variables that are kept constant in this experiment. (c) Name the variable that (i) is manipulated (ii) responds (d) Complete the table showing the results obtained. Final temperature of water in beaker L Final temperature of water in beaker M 55 oC (e) What is the quantity of heat in the copper cylinder and copper ring, when both reached 650 oC? (f) How is heat transferred from the copper objects to the water in the beaker?

(g) (i) Would you get the same final temperature in beaker L if the copper cylinder was replaced with a zinc cylinder, of the same mass? (ii) Explain why. (h) What can be concluded from this experiment? 4 The following apparatus was used in an experiment.

An experiment was conducted using the apparatus as shown in the figure above. The following steps were carried out: Step 1 : Two similar metal T-blocks were selected. One T-block was painted black, the other was painted silver. Step 2 : A thumb tack was attached with molten wax to each end of the T-blocks. Step 3 : Glowing coals were placed under the T-blocks. Step 4 : The time taken for the thumb tacks to drop off was recorded in a table. (a) What is the aim of this experiment? (b) What was used as a heat source in this experiment? (c) Name the variable that (i) is kept constant (ii) is manipulated (iii) responds (d) In order for the results of the experiment to be accurate, what precaution must be taken? (e) What is the function of the asbestos sheet? (f) How is heat transferred from (i) the heat source to the T-block? (ii) the based of the T-block to the ends where the thumb tacks are? (g) What can be concluded from this experiment?
