D
As air escapes the available space is quickly replaced with water, so the tank's density becomes the same as that of the water and with the added weight and density of the tank itself continues to sink.

A
Cold air sinks, whereas hot air rises. The house and the air inside it are warmer than the outside air temperature, so if these two systems (house and outside) were to be suddenly connected (door opening) the cold air would sink and the hot air would sit above the cold air until the heat transferred between the two.

The speed of the water exiting the bucket by the hole is proportional to the pressure exerted upon it. When the bucket is full there is a greater volume of water trying to exit the bucket via the hole. A greater volume of water is a greater mass of water and therefore exerts a greater pressure, the greater pressure tra...

B
The further the distance that the force is applied to the pivot point, the less force that's required to cut through the bolts, or the stronger the force that can be applied to the bolts is. This is the advantage in having long handles on many tools.

Two balloons are placed side by side. Balloon A is inflated fully, while Balloon B is only half-inflated. Which balloon has more air pressure inside? (If equal, mark C) Select from A, B, and C (A) A (B) B (C) C
A
The correct answer is A. The question asks us to compare the air pressure inside two balloons: fully inflated (Balloon A) and half-inflated (Balloon B). Air pressure in a balloon is generally determined by the amount of air it contains and the volume it occupies. A fully inflated balloon is generally stretched more tig...

Who will need to apply more force to lift the weight? (If equal, Mark C.) Select from A, B, and C (A) A (B) B (C) C
C
The correct answer is C. The figure in B has a wheel to reel in the rope. However, this wheel does nothing to divide the force and only changes the pulling from a linear motion in A to a circular motion in B. Remember the physical principle: In a pulley system, the wheels that reduce applied force are supporting wheels...

In which direction will the wheel spin? (If either, mark C.) Select from A, B, and C (A) A (B) B (C) C
B
The correct answer is B. A band connects the two wheels on the left; therefore, the top wheel will spin counter-clockwise. The two wheels at the top are connected by a rod; thus, both rotate in the same direction. The wheel in question is connected by a band to the top right wheel and influenced by its rotation.

The correct answer is A. When contact is made between the rack (toothed belt) and the cogwheels, a conversion occurs from linear to angular velocity. The location of the point of contact is critical. The point of contact between the red cogwheel and the rack is in the lower part of the red cogwheel. The counterclockwi...

In which direction should the acrobat move his body to balance the seesaw? (If neither, Mark C.) Select from A, B, and C (A) A (B) B (C) C
B
The correct answer is B. A seesaw is an example of a first-class lever, where the fulcrum is between the effort and load. For the seesaw to be balanced, the torque applied by the acrobat must increase. Since the weight of the acrobat is constant, the only way to increase the input torque is by increasing the distance f...

Which pendulum will swing faster? (If equal, mark C.) Select from A, B, and C (A) A (B) B (C) C
A
The correct answer is A. Pendulum A has a shorter string; therefore, it will swing faster. Intuitively, the shorter pendulum has less distance to travel in every cycle and, therefore, will move faster. The bob's mass is irrelevant since the pendulum is affected by gravity, which applies the same acceleration on eac...

C
The correct answer is C. A magnifying glass is a convex lens that produces a magnified image of an object. A convex lens converts light as follows: when parallel rays of light from the sun hit the glass, they converge to a single point called ‘the focal point’ of the magnifying glass. This process forms concentrated he...

C
The correct answer is C. The centrifugal force is directed in the opposite direction of the center of the circle around which the stone spins. The tension of the string pushes the stone inwards, maintaining the rotation. In each moment the stone changes its speed, but its direction is always perpendicular to the direct...

The correct answer is A. The rectangle pivots about the point of contact with the floor. The further the pole is away from the pivot point, the less force it needs to apply to achieve the same torque (the torque needed to keep the rectangle static). Thus, Pole 2, the pole that is further away from the point of contact ...
