1.

A 5kg iron sphere of temperature

500C is put in contact with a 1kg copper
sphere of temperature 273K and they are put
inside an insulated box. Which of the
following statements is correct when they
reach thermal equilibrium?
A. A iron sphere will have a temperature of
273K
B. The copper sphere will have a
temperature of 500C.
C. Both the sphere have the same
temperature.
D. The temperature of the iron sphere will
be lower than 500C

B.

The energy needed to increase the

temperature of 1 kg of this sample is 5000
J.
C.
The energy needed to increase the
temperature of 0.5kg of this sample is
2500J.
D.
The temperature of this sample will
increase 10C when 5 000 J energy is
absorbed by this sample.

In the process to transfer heat from

one object to another object, which of the
following processes does not involve a
transfer to material?
A. Convection
B. Vaporisation
C. Radiation
D. Evaporation
When we use a microwave oven to
heat up some food in a lunch box, we should
open the lid slightly. Which of the following
explanations is correct?
A. To allow microwave to go inside the
lunch box
B. To allow the water vapors to go out,
otherwise the box will explode
C. To allow microwave to reflect more
times inside the lunch box
D. To allow microwave to penetrate deeper
into the lunch box.
Water is generally used to put out
fire. Which of the following explanation is
not correct?
A. Water has a high specific heat capacity
B. Steam can cut off the supply of oxygen
C. Water is easily available
D. Water can react with some material

Given that the heat capacity of a

certain sample is 5000 J0C-1. Which of the
following is correct?
A.
The mass of this sample is 1kg.

Which of the following statement is

correct?
The total mass of the object is kept
constant when fusion occurs.
The internal energy of the object is
increased when condensation occurs
Energy
is
absorbed
when
condensation occurs.
Energy
is
absorbed
when
vaporization occurs.

Water molecules change their states

between the liquid and gaseous states
only when water vapour is saturated
at all times because evaporation and
condensation occur any time
only when the vapour molecules
produce a pressure as the same as the
atmospheric pressure
only when the water is boiling
Based on the kinetic theory of gas
which one of the following does not explain
the behaviour of gas molecules in a
container?
Gas molecules move randomly
Gas molecules collide elastically
with the walls of the container
Gas molecules move faster as
temperature increases
Gas molecules collide inelastically
with each other

9.

D.
10.

A cylinder which contains gas is

compressed at constant temperature of the
gas increase because
the average speed of gas molecules
increases
the number of gas molecules
increases
the average distance between the gas
molecules increases
the rate of collision between the gas
molecules and the walls increases
A plastic bag is filled with air. It is
immersed in the boiling water as shown in
diagram below.

A.
B.
C.
D.

Which of the following statements is

false?
The volume of the plastic bag
increases.
The pressure of air molecules
increases
The air molecules in the bag
move faster
The repulsive force of boiling
water slows down the movement of air
molecule
