The particles are very close together.

b)

The particles are merely vibrating.

c)

The particles are unable to move.

d)

The particles are very far apart.

5.

Work done

a)

work done = force

b)

work done = force × distance

c)

work done = distance / force

6.

Pressure

a)

pressure = force x area

b)

pressure = force / area

c)

pressure = area / force

7.

In gases, pressure is

a)

directly proportional to volume

b)

inversely proportional to volume

c)

directly proportional to friction

d)

inversely proportional to heat

8.

For a constant temperature, Boyle's law states that

a)

the pressure of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to the volume of the gas

b)

the pressure of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas

c)

the pressure of a fixed amount of gas is independent of the volume of the gas

d)

None of the above

9.

Gas pressure is caused by

a)

Gas molecules heating up

b)

Gas molecules reacting with other gas molecules

c)

Gas molecules hitting the walls of a container

d)

Gas molecules hitting other gas molecules

10.

How do you calculate the area of an object?

a)
b)
c)
11.

At a pressure of 405,000Pa, the volume of a gas is 6.00 m3. Assuming the temperature remains constant, at what pressure will the new volume be 4.00m3?

a)

6 Pa

b)

607,500 Pa

c)

2,430,000 Pa

d)

9,720,000 Pa

12.

A volume of gas at 110.000 Pa was measured at 0.326 m3. What will be the volume if the pressure is adjusted to 190,000 Pa?

a)

35.86 m3

b)

1.88 x 10-4

c)

5298.3 m3

31666.6

13.

Doing work on a gas increases the .....

a)

Gravitational potential energy

b)

The internal energy

c)

The change of state energy

d)

The potential energy

14.

Pumping a bicycle pump makes the air inside hotter because....

a)

The internal energy of the gas in the pump gets larger which in turn increases the temperature

b)

The internal energy of the gas in the pump decreases cause it to change state

c)

More work has been done on the gas so the internal energy of the gas increases and the state changes

d)

The work done on the gas decreases the kinetic energy of the particles and they increase in temperature

15.

A student carried out an investigation to see how pumping a squash ball in their hand multiple times affected the temperature of the air inside the ball.


The method is below


1. Gently push the thermometer into the hole in the squash ball and record the temperature of the air in the ball. Record it in the table below

2. Remove the thermometer. Hold the ball in your hand and squeeze it as hard as you can 20 times.

3. Gently push the thermometer into the hole in the squash ball and record the temperature of the air in the ball. Record it in the table below

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have squeezed the ball 120 times


What is the independent variable in this investigation ?

a)

The temperature of the ball

b)

Using the same squash ball

c)

The same person doing the squeezing

d)

The number of times the ball is squashed
