Sebuah lori tangki membawa petrol ke stesen minyak di tengah bandar. Simbol bahaya manakah yang perlu dipamerkan pada tangki lori itu?A tanker lorry carries petrol to a petrol station in the city centre. Which hazard symbol should be displayed on the tank of the lorry?
Show answerHide answer
B
Petrol easily vaporises and catches fire, so it carries the flammable symbol (textbook Figure 1.7 gives alcohol and petrol as examples). A is corrosive, C is toxic and D is explosive.

Seorang juruteknik mengukur diameter sebatang bolt basikal dengan menggunakan angkup vernier. Rajah 1 menunjukkan bacaan angkup vernier itu. Berapakah diameter bolt itu?A technician measures the diameter of a bicycle bolt using a pair of vernier calipers. Diagram 1 shows the reading. What is the diameter of the bolt?
Vernier calipers: the vernier zero lies between 1.4 and 1.5 cm on the main scale; the 7th vernier line coincides with a main-scale line
Rajah 1Diagram 1
Show answerHide answer
C
Main scale: the vernier zero is just after 1.4 cm, so 1.40 cm. Vernier scale: line 7 coincides, so 7 × 0.01 = 0.07 cm. Reading = 1.40 + 0.07 = 1.47 cm.

Seorang mekanik membaca skala meter analog di sebuah bengkel kereta. Mengapakah matanya perlu berada pada kedudukan berserenjang dengan skala?A mechanic reads the scale of an analogue meter in a car workshop. Why must his eye be perpendicular to the scale?
Show answerHide answer
A
Reading a scale at an angle gives a parallax error. The eye must be perpendicular to the scale to avoid it. Zero error is a fault in the instrument itself, not in how it is read.

Pepejal X dipanaskan di sebuah kilang untuk membuat cat garisan jalan raya. Rajah 3 menunjukkan graf suhu melawan masa bagi X. Mengapakah suhu X tidak berubah dari K hingga L?Solid X is heated in a factory to make road-marking paint. Diagram 3 shows the graph of temperature against time for X. Why does the temperature of X stay the same from K to L?
Temperature rises from 30 °C at J to 80 °C at K (4 min), stays at 80 °C until L (10 min), then rises to 120 °C at M
Rajah 3Diagram 3
Show answerHide answer
A
From K to L, X is melting at its melting point (80 °C). Heat is still absorbed but it is used to overcome the forces of attraction between particles, so the temperature stays constant. Mass stays the same during a physical change.

  • Roads and buildings (concrete / tar) do not let rain water seep into the ground1
  • More water flows on the surface into drains and rivers quickly, so they overflow1
  • No trees / roots to absorb water and hold the soil, so soil erodes and blocks drains1

  • Do not agree1
  • Flash floods will increase further because even less water can seep into the ground1
  • Higher risk of landslides / soil erosion on the cleared slope, endangering residents1
  • Loss of habitat for flora and fauna / more air pollution and global warming1
Tick each point you got.
[3 marks] (g)Reka satu taman bandar yang dapat membantu mengurangkan banjir kilat di Bandar Hijau.

  • A retention pond / lake to collect and store rain water so drains do not overflow1
  • Many trees and grassy areas so that rain water can seep into the ground (underground water)1
  • Paths made of porous / permeable paving or gravel instead of concrete, so water soaks in1
  • Rain water harvesting tanks to collect water from roofs for watering plants1
  • Plants on slopes / riverbanks to hold the soil and prevent erosion that blocks drains1

Aiman ingin mengkaji keselamatan landasan menurun di tempat letak kereta sekolahnya. Dia menyiasat kesan tinggi landasan terhadap jarak yang dilalui oleh sebuah kereta mainan di atas lantai. Kereta mainan yang sama dilepaskan dari bahagian atas landasan setiap kali, dan jarak d diukur sehingga kereta itu berhenti. Rajah 14 menunjukkan susunan radas dan Rajah 15 menunjukkan keputusannya.Aiman wants to study the safety of the down ramp in his school car park. He investigates the effect of the height of a ramp on the distance a toy car travels on the floor. The same toy car is released from the top of the ramp each time, and the distance d is measured until the car stops. Diagram 14 shows the set-up of the apparatus and Diagram 15 shows his results.
Toy car at the top of a ramp of height h; it rolls off and stops a distance d along the floor

Show answerHide answer
  • The rough carpet surface slows the car down more than the smooth floor / the type of surface affects the distance travelled1

[2 marks] (f)Rakan Aiman mencadangkan landasan setinggi 50 cm untuk tempat letak kereta kerana kereta bergerak paling jauh. Adakah anda bersetuju? Wajarkan jawapan anda.Aiman's friend suggests a 50 cm high ramp for the car park because cars travel the furthest. Do you agree? Justify your answer.
Show answerHide answer
Any 2 points
  • Do not agree1
  • A higher ramp makes cars move faster and travel further, so they are harder to stop and may hit pedestrians / pupils1
  • A lower ramp (with a rough surface) is safer for a school car park1
Tick each point you got.
[3 marks] (g)Reka satu cara untuk memastikan kereta yang menuruni landasan di tempat letak kereta berhenti dalam jarak yang lebih pendek. Huraikan bagaimana anda akan menguji reka bentuk anda dengan model kereta mainan.Design a way to make sure cars coming down the car-park ramp stop within a shorter distance. Describe how you would test your design using the toy car model.
Show answerHide answer
Any 3 points
  • Design: cover the end of the ramp / floor with a rough surface (rubber mat, grooved concrete) or add speed bumps, or make the ramp lower1
  • Test: keep the same ramp height and the same toy car, release it from the top each time (fair test)1
  • Measure the distance d with a metre rule, repeat three times and take the average1
  • Compare with the distance on the smooth floor; the design works if d is shorter1
