End-of-unit test
Unit 3
1 a Complete the equation for density. Use the words mass and volume. [1]

density = ______________________________
mass by volume

b Look at the list of substances.

water ice wood air iron

i Circle the substance with the lowest density. [1]


ii Explain your choice of the substance with the lowest density. [1]

its particles are more far apart which means there will be less number of particles or mass
_________________________________________________________________________
per a particular volume
_________________________________________________________________________
c Water has a density of 1.0 g/cm3. A substance called LDPE has a density of 0.91 g/cm3.
Explain whether LDPE will float or sink in water. [1]

It will float as it is less dense than water.

3 A hairdryer uses 1500 J of electrical energy in 1 second.


The hairdryer changes 1300 J of this to useful thermal energy in 1 second.
Calculate the quantity of energy that is wasted by the hairdryer in 1 second.
Show your working. [2]

1500-1300=200

200

4 Two objects, A and B, are placed in contact with each other.
Thermal energy initially flows from A to B.
Explain the conclusion that can be made about the initial temperatures of A and B. [2]

The temperature of A is higher than B because thermal energy always flows from high energy
