II. Answer the following questions. (9 marks)

1. Write mass or weight next to each statement in the second column of this table.
(4 marks)
Statement Mass or weight
The force of gravity acting on an object
Measured in kilograms
Get much less if you go to the Moon
Can be represented by a force arrow
Measured in Newtons
‘Add 50 g of salt to 1 kg of water.’
Stays the same even if you are far out in
space
5 apples are about 5N

3. Hot air ballons travels through the air. (3 marks)

The air inside the balloon is heated by burning propane fuel.

Tick the three correct answers.

The air inside the balloon has the most kinetic energy.
The hot air balloon has the most kinetic energy
after is has landed on the ground.
The chemical energy in the propane fuel is changed into thermal energy.
The hot air balloon has no light or sound energy
when it is travelling through the air.
 The hot air balloon has the most potential energy

when it is highest in the sky.
