What GSC101 Assignment 1 asks
This assignment focuses on applying principles of general science through two distinct problems. The first part involves analyzing a graph showing the relationship between gas volume and temperature for two samples, A and B. The second part examines concepts of work and power in physics through real-world scenarios. Students must perform calculations and provide conceptual explanations based on the provided data.

Question #1
5+5=10 marksFor part (a), identify the temperature and volume where the dashed lines intersect and explain the physical limitation of extending these lines further to the left. For part (b), calculate the slope for both line A and line B using values from the graph. Additionally, determine the specific volume of sample B at a temperature of -33 °C.

Question #2
5+5=10 marksFor part (a), evaluate the scientific accuracy of a statement regarding work done by a man holding a heavy bag. For part (b), calculate the work done and power for two workers, X and Y, lifting 20 kg boxes to a height of 5 m within different timeframes. Conclude by identifying which worker exerts more power and provide the reasoning for your answer.
