Document Content and Description Below

Answer all the questions. 1 A student investigates the motion of a steel ball in oil in a laboratory. The radius r of the ball is 8.1mm. (a) Describe how the student can determine r accurately in t... he laboratory. ................................................................................................................................................... ................................................................................................................................................... ................................................................................................................................................... .............................................................................................................................................. [3] (b) The student uses a measuring cylinder and a digital balance to determine the density of the oil. The student records the following measurements: • mass of empty measuring cylinder = 96g • volume of oil added to measuring cylinder = 87cm3 • total mass of measuring cylinder and oil = 169g Show that the density of the oil is about 840kgm–3. [2] (c) The steel ball is submerged in the oil. Show that the upthrust acting on the steel ball is 1.8 × 10–2N. [2] 4 © OCR 2022 (d) The student fills a long tube with the oil. The student drops the steel ball from rest at the surface of the oil at time t = 0. The displacement s of the ball is measured from the surface of the oil. The graph shows the displacement s against time t for the steel ball from the instant it enters the oil. 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 s /m t/ s (i) The terminal velocity v of the steel ball is 1.8ms–1.

The drag F acting on the steel ball falling through the oil is given by the equation F = 6πηrv where η is a constant for the oil, r is the radius of the steel ball and v is the speed of the steel ball through the oil. At v = 1.8ms–1, the force F is equal to the difference between the weight of the steel ball and the upthrust acting on the steel ball. Calculate η. Include an appropriate unit. [Show More]
