11. a)i) Buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced

ii) W = ρVg = 1000 x 2/3 (0.3 x 0.3 x 0.3) x 10 = 180 N

m, cube= W/g = 180/10 = 18 kg

ρ = m / V = 18 / (0.3 x 0.3 x 0.3 ) = 666.67 kg m −3

b)

Characteristic/cirri Reason/Sebab
1.Streamline / larus
3. Density /ketumpatan rendah
5. Specific heat capacity high / muatan
haba tentu tinggi
7. High strength / Kekuatan tinggi
2. reduce the resistance of water/
kurangkan rintangan air
4. higher buoyant force/ daya apungan
tinggi
6. absorbs heat slowly/serap haba dengan
perlahan
8. Difficult to damage / sukar rosak

S, because its streamline,low density, high specific heat capacity and high strength
S, sebab ia adalah larus,ketumpatan rendah,muatan haba tentu tinggi dan kuat.

c) Buoyant force always greater than the load weight,so that the ship will not sink.
Daya apungan sentiasa lebih besar daripada berat beban,supaya kapal tidak
tenggelam

d) 1. In the sea, buoyant force > weight of the ship

Di laut, daya apungan > berat kapal ,kapal timbul
2. When the ship in the river,density of water< density of sea,so buoyant force
decrease
Bila kapal di sungai, ketumpatan sungai < ketumpatan laut,daya apungan
menjadi kurang
3. The weight of the the ship > the buoyant force ,so the ship will sink
Berat kapal > daya apungan ,kapal tenggelam

12 a) i) The total resistace in the circuit / jumlah rintangan dalam litar

ii) 1. 1/3 + 1/ 2+4

2. total resistance = 2 ohm
3. I 1 = 2 A
4. I 2 = 1 A

b) i)
Characteristic/ ciri-ciri Reasons/sebab
1. Smaller surface area 2. the resistance is higher
3.High melting point 4. not easy to melt
5. Low specific heat capacity 6. the temperature arises shortly
7. Long (coiled) metal 8. to increase the resistance
 ii) V, because it has,smaller surface area, high melting point, low specific heat
capacity and long metal.
