Set 3

1. State why does the fireman suit made from asbestos ( a

silicon compound)?
Asbestos is a silicon compound. It has high resistance
against heat since it does not decompose when heated
2. By using a suitable example, explain kinetic theory based on
the following keywords

(a) Heat energy heat energy is converted into kinetic
energy. The more the heat energy, the higher the kinetic
energy
(b) Movement of particles / amount of kinetic energy-
higher kinetic energy means that the gas particle is moving
faster
(c) Number of collisions when particles move faster, the
more they hits/ collides with each other and the wall of
container
(d) Air pressure the collisions create pressure in a
container such as balloon. The more the collisions, the
higher the air pressure.

3. Create a question (use situation-based) to show calculation
of work done. Then, modify your question to show that the
work done can be increased and decreased.








Height
= 4m
2kg = 20N
Work done
= force (N) X distance (m)

To increase work done To decrease work done
Increase the distance (height) Decrease the distance (height)
increase the force ( weight) Reduce the force (weight)
Use rougher surface Use smoother surface

State the advantages and disadvantages of friction.
Advantages
- Avoid slippering
- Help to hold object
- Help to stop moving object
disadvantages
- Produce unwanted heat
- Produce unwanted noise
- Wore off the surface

4. By using the correct example, write the word equation for
combustion of hydrocarbon and carbon

Combustion of Carbon :
Charcoal / firewood
Carbon + oxygen heat energy + light energy

Combustion of hydrocarbon :
Petrol, candle
hydocarbon + oxygen heat energy + light energy + water


5. Choose an issue about air pollution phenomenon caused by
a gas and then, explain by using the following guides:
(a) The issue
(b) Factors
(c) Effect to earth / environment
(d) How to overcome the problem?

6. Suggest a material can be used to build more
environmentally friendly buildings. Explain your suggestion.

7. What do you know about support system of mammals?

Endoskeleton
Differ in aquatic mammals and land mammals
The size and strength of the bone (endoskeleton)
Aquatic mammals smaller endoskeleton since its body
weight is supported by buoyancy of water
