 1.3 Mass and Weight

Q1. Answer Marks

(a) mg in any form C1 C1
650N A1
(b) gravitational / attractive and the Earth B1
(c) (i) 65 kg B1
(ii) 104 OR 100N ecf (i) B1
Total 5

Q2. Answer Marks

(a) V = W × L × D in any form words, symbols or numbers C1
use of M = ρV in any form OR ρV words, symbols or numbers C1
(M = 51 × 20 × 11 × 1030 = 11556600 =) 1.2 × 10 7 kg A1
(b) p = ρg(∆)h in any form words, symbols or numbers C1
(∆h = 60000 / (1030 × 10) =) 5.8(25)m A1
(c) use of F = pA in any form or pA words, symbols or numbers C1
(F = 60000 × 32.8 × 8.3 = 60 000 × 272.2 =) 1.6(33) × 107N A1
e.c.f. from (b)
Total 7

Q3. Answer Marks

(a) metre rule, tape measure, (surveyor’s) laser measurer, trundle wheel
tape is too vague, accept rule(r) B1

(b) M = ρV in any form or ρV in words, symbols or numbers C1

(mass = 1.2 × 76.4 =) 92kg A1
(c) mass (of air) in room decreases B1

(because) air expands / vol of air increases / density of air decreases /

appropriate use of pV = nRT OR pressure argument e.g. pressure would
have increased (with constant volume) if mass constant B1

any ONE from: B1

some air leaves room
molecules collide harder or more (often)
molecules move faster/ have more energy
molecules move further apart NOT molecules expand

Q4. Answer Marks

6 7
(a) (i) (W = mg = 2.8 × 10 × 10 =) 2.8 × 10 N B1
(ii) (W = mg = 2.8 × 106 × 10 =) 2.8 × 107N A1
(iii) F = ma in any form OR (a =) F÷m OR 4.0 × 106÷(2.8 × 106) C1
1.4m/ s2 A1
(b) Mass of rocket decreases (as fuel is used up)
OR
Value of g/gravitational force on rocket decreases as rocket rises B1

Q5. Answer Marks

(a) Column 1 Box 3 mass same B1
Column 2 Box 4 weight 1/6 B1
Column 3 Box 3 deceleration same B1
Total 3

Q6. Answer Marks

(a) (i) (Weight is) force/pull of gravity (acting on an object) B1
(ii) Mass × acceleration due to gravity OR mg OR 350 × 7.5 C1
2600 N A1
(b) (ρ =) m/V in any form C1
0.27 (kg /m3) OR 270 (g / m3) A1
Balloon moves/floats up B1
(Floats when) density of balloon less than density of atmosphere B1
OR (sinks when) density of balloon greater than atmosphere
OR (ρ =) m/V in any form C1
110 g A1
Balloon rises B1
(Floats when) mass/weight of balloon less than mass/weight of B1
atmosphere (of same volume as balloon)
(Sinks when) mass/weight of balloon greater than mass/weight of
atmosphere (of same volume as balloon)
Total 7

Q7. Answer Marks

(a) attempt to use 2 rectangles for A C1
A = ((1 × 3.2) + (1.1 × 1.6) = 3.2 + 1.76 =) 4.96 (m2) C1
9.9 m3 A1
(b) ρ = m / V OR m = ρV OR (m =) 9.9 × 1.1 × 103 C1
(m =) 1.1 × 104 kg A1
(c) depth of water = 1.2 m C1
(P =) ρgh OR (P = 1.1 × 103 × 10 × 1.2) C1
(P =) 1.3 × 104 Pa A1
