1 Peter has two beakers of water of different temperatures. The volumes of the two beakers of water are the same. Peter puts a thermometer in the water in beaker A and then in the water in beaker B.
Which of the following statements about the two beakers of water is correct?A They give out the same amount of light energy.B The water in beaker A has less potential energy than the water in beaker B.C The water in beaker A has more chemical energy than the water in beaker B.D The water in beaker B gives out more thermal energy than the water in beaker A.

4 The diagram below shows a set-up for carrying out a fair test about which metal (copper, aluminium or iron) conducts heat better.
Which of the following statements about the fair test is INCORRECT?A The time taken for the pins to drop is the dependent variable.B The faster the pin drops from the metal rod, the better the metal conducts heat.C The width of the rods is the independent variable.D If the rods are shorter in length, the pins will drop earlier.

5 Chris puts his hands near a flame. Both his hands feel warm but his right hand feels warmer.
Which of the following statements is/are correct?(1) Both his hands feel warm because thermal energy is transferred from the flame to the
hands by conduction.(2) His right hand feels warmer because thermal energy is transferred upwards by convection.(3) Radiation does not take place in the process.A (2) onlyB (1) and (2) onlyC (1) and (3) onlyD (1), (2) and (3)
Directions: Questions 6 and 7 refer to the information below.Mandy set up the apparatus below to study the heat transfer by radiation. Both of the flasks were empty. She took the readings on the thermometers at fixed time intervals and plotted the graph below.

7 Mandy forgot to write down which line (X or Y) refers to which flask. Which of the following statements about the graph and the result of the experiment is correct?A Line X is the result of the dull black flask because the flask is a good absorber.B Line X is the result of the shiny white flask because the flask is a good absorber.C Line Y is the result of the dull black flask because the flask is a good radiator.D Line Y is the result of the shiny white flask because the flask is a good radiator.

What does the graph tell us?(1) There is a rising trend of the global surface temperature from 1880 to 2019.(2) Global warming has caused climate change in recent decades.(3) There are no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere before 1940s.A (1) onlyB (2) onlyC (1) and (3) onlyD (2) and (3) only
E 9 Nuclear power is used as an energy source alternative to fossil fuels. Which of the following statements about using nuclear power and fossil fuels as energy sources for generating electricity is/are correct?(1) Both nuclear power and fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources.(2) In both methods, thermal energy is released from the fuel for boiling water.(3) In both methods, air pollutants are given out.A (1) onlyB (1) and (2) onlyC (2) and (3) onlyD (1), (2) and (3)
E 10 Hydroelectric power is a kind of clean energy. Why is it not commonly used to replace fossil fuels to generate electricity?(1) It produces radioactive waste and this threatens human health.(2) The river where the dam is built will easily dry out. (3) A large area will become flooded due to the building of the dam.A (1) onlyB (3) onlyC (1) and (2) onlyD (2) and (3) only
