Every sheet in October 1966

The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st October 1966A water wave has a wavelength of 0.4 m and a frequency of 2.5 Hz. Calculate its speed.
  2. 2nd October 1966Explain how elements heavier than iron, such as gold, are created and distributed through the universe.
  3. 3rd October 1966Convert 0.05 mm into micrometres.
  4. 4th October 1966State the function of the valves in the heart and in veins.
  5. 5th October 1966State three factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis.
  6. 6th October 1966State the type of diabetes in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin.
  7. 7th October 1966The Arctic fox has small, rounded ears compared with the desert fennec fox, which has very large ears. State whether this is a structural, behavioural or functional adaptation, and explain how it helps the Arctic fox survive.
  8. 8th October 1966Explain, in terms of particle size, how reverse osmosis separates water from dissolved salt.
  9. 9th October 1966Write the formula of calcium chloride and explain the ratio.
