Physics 3 (Practical) (Alternative A) 12.40pm – 3.25pm (2nd Set)
============================

2)

2b)
bi)The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature
at which the vapor pressure of the
liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid
and the
liquid changes into a vapor.
bii) impurities increases the temperature range a
substance can exist as a liquid

SLOPE(s)=(LogT2*10^-2 – LogT1*10^-2)(/Log L2 *10^-1 – LogL1*10^-1)
=(21.33-12.12(s))*10^-2/(18.50-16.02(cm)*10^-1)
=3.714*10^-1
=0.3714cm^-1

1axi)
i)ensured supports of pendula were rigged
ii)avoided parallax error on meter rule/stop watch

1bi)
simple harmonic motion is the motion of a body whose acceleration is always direct towards a fixed point and is proportional to the displacement from the fixed points

1bii)
T=1.2secs
Log 1.2=0.079
0079 shown on graph with corresponding Log L read L correctly determined

=================================

2 xii) two precaution

1. Avoided splas hing of water.
2Avoided parallax error on thermometer/

(2b i) This is the temperature of a liquid at which the saturated vapour pres sure of the liquid equals the external atmospheric
pressure.

2bii) Impurities increase the boiling point of a liquid.
