The diagram below shows a piece of ruler and the position of the eye of a Form One student who is measuring length of an object by using the ruler, unfortunately he/she gets an error.

What value and type of the error does the student get?

A. 0.2±, instrumental error. B. 0.2± , parallax error. C. 0.8± , instrumental error. D. 1.2± , parallax error. E. 0.8± , parallax error.

An aluminium block of mass 2kg rests on a steel platform. A man applies a horizontal force of 10N to push the block horizontally, but the block does not move. If the coefficient of static friction between the platform and the aluminium block is 0.6, why the block does not move when it is pushed by the man?

A. The force applied by the man to the aluminium block is less than the static frictional force trying to oppose the motion of the block. B. The force applied by the man to the block is greater than the static frictional force trying to oppose the motion of the block. C. The normal reaction provided by the surface of the platform to support the aluminium block is 200N. D. The aluminium block takes large surface area on the platform. E. The speed of the aluminium block along the platform is too small.

By comparison, the perception of radio waves around a hill is better than the perception of television waves around the same hill. Which one of the following would be the set of reasons for these transmissions of electromagnetic waves:

A. Radio waves have large diffraction around a hill due to long wavelengths they have, while television waves cannot diffract around a hill because they have shorter wave lengths than that of radio waves. B. Television waves have large diffraction around due to short Wavelengths they have, while radio waves cannot diffract around the hill because they have long wavelengths. C. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves while television waves are mechanical waves. D. Radio waves have speed t h e same as that of light while television waves have no speed at all. E. Television waves are longitudinal waves while radio waves are mechanical waves.
