A measuring cylinder contains 100 cm3 of water. 20 cm3 of the water is poured into a beaker. On , mark the level of the water left in the cylinder. A rule, calibrated in cm, is placed alongside the measuring cylinder, as shown in . What is the length of the measuring cylinder, from zero up to the 100 cm3 mark? The volume of a cylinder is found using the equation volume = cross-sectional area × length. Calculate the cross-sectional area of the measuring cylinder. cross-sectional area = cm3 cm3 Use

In the left-hand column below are four physical quantities that might be measured in the Physics laboratory. In the right-hand column are eight statements which might be definitions of the quantities in the left-hand column. Use a line to join each quantity with its definition. An example has been given to help you. There is only one definition for each quantity. work force of gravity on a body how big the body is mass power of a given force weight ÷ mass weight amount of matter in a body force × distance moved density mass ÷ volume the acceleration due to gravity
