23 A train travels along a track from Aytown to Beetown. The map shows the route. The distance travelled by the train between the towns is 210 km. It moves at an average speed of 70 km / h. How long does the journey take? A less than hours, because the journey is not in a straight line B exactly hours C exactly hours D more than hours, because the journey is not in a straight line 24 A student tries to find the density of a metal block. First he measures the weight with a forcemeter (spring balance). Next he measures the sides of the block using a rule, in order to calculate the volume of the block. Finally he divides the weight by the volume to find the density. The student has made a mistake. Why does his method not give the density? A Density is volume divided by weight. B He should have measured the surface area, not the volume. C He should have used the mass in his calculation, not the weight. D Weight is not measured with a forcemeter (spring balance). 210 ––– 70 210 ––– 70 70 ––– 210 70 ––– 210 Aytown Beetown 11 0652/01/O/N/03 [Turn over
