Final exam

  1. Speed is the extdistanceext{distance} travelled by an object per unit time.

  2. An object in extuniformext{uniform} motion moves at a constant speed in a fixed direction.

  3. A car that is braking is an example of extnon−uniformext{non-uniform} motion.

  4. A extfree−bodyext{free-body} diagram is used to show all the forces acting on an object.

  5. Laboratory instrument used to measure the size of a force is called a spring extbalanceext{balance}.

  6. The standard international unit of force is extnewtonext{newton}.

  7. Magnetic force and force of gravity are examples of extnon−contactext{non-contact} forces.

  8. Forces that allow an object to stay at rest or in uniform motion are extbalancedext{balanced} forces.

  9. The amount of matter an object contains, which is constant in different places is called extmassext{mass}.

  10. The force of gravity of the Earth acting on an object is its extweightext{weight}.

  11. An object of mass 1 kg has a weight of only 1.6 N on the extmoonext{moon}.

  12. extFrictionext{Friction} is a contact force that opposes the motion of objects between two surfaces.

  13. Opposing force that increases when an object moves faster in air is extairext{air} resistance.

  14. To reduce friction, we can separate surfaces by adding extlubricantsext{lubricants} or an air cushion.

  15. High-speed trains use a extstreamlinedext{streamlined} shape to minimize fluid resistance.

  16. Action and reaction forces are always equal in extmagnitudeext{magnitude} but opposite in direction.

  17. Vinegar contains extethanoicext{ethanoic} acid, while citrus fruits contain citric acid.

  18. Acids taste sour, while alkalis have a extbitterext{bitter} taste and a slippery feel.

  19. Acids can change the color of blue litmus paper to extredext{red}.

  20. The measurement scale for the acidity or alkalinity of a substance is called the extpHext{pH} scale.

  21. A reusable instrument that measures the pH value more accurately than pH paper is a pH extmeterext{meter}.

  22. Neutralization is a chemical reaction between an acid and an alkali to form extsaltext{salt} and water.

  23. In the stomach, excess acid can be treated by taking a tablet called an extantacidext{antacid}.

  24. Farmers often add an alkali like calcium hydroxide to regulate the pH value of extsoilext{soil}.
