    A metal cube has a mass of 540 g and a volume of 60 cm3\text{cm}^3.
    (a)
    Given that density = mass ÷\div volume, calculate the density of the metal in g/cm3\text{g/cm}^3.
    [2 marks]
    (b)
    A second cube is made from the same metal and has a volume of 150 cm3\text{cm}^3. Using the density found in part (a), calculate the mass of this second cube.

    A box exerts a force of 240 N on the ground over a contact area of 0.4 m2\text{m}^2.
    (a)
    Given that pressure = force ÷\div area, calculate the pressure the box exerts on the ground, in N/m2\text{N/m}^2.
    [3 marks]
    (b)
    The box is turned onto its side so that the same force of 240 N now acts over a larger contact area of 0.6 m2\text{m}^2. Calculate the new pressure and state, with a reason, how the pressure has changed compared to part (a).

    A delivery van travels from a warehouse to Town A, a distance of 90 km, taking 1.5 hours. It then travels from Town A to Town B, a distance of 60 km, taking 45 minutes. Finally, it returns directly to the warehouse, a distance of 150 km, taking 2 hours 45 minutes.
    (a)
    Find the average speed, in km/h, for the second leg of the journey (Town A to Town B).
    [4 marks]
    (b)
    Find the average speed, in km/h, for the whole journey (all three legs combined).
    [4 marks]
    (c)
    The van's fuel consumption is 8 km per litre of fuel, and fuel costs 1.6 dollars per litre. Calculate the total cost of fuel for the whole journey (all three legs).
