Question 1 25 are based on the given stimuli. Study the information carefully and choose the BEST answer. Question 1 - 2 A blog is something like an online journal or diary. In the main page of a blog, there is a set of entries. When the author adds a new entry, it goes at the top, pushing all the older entries down. A blog might also have a sidebar that contains additional links to other websites. The author of a blog can write about anything and everything on his mind. Blogs often contain stories or little snippets of information that have caught the attention of the author. Even though blogs can be completely free-form, many blogs have a focus. For example, if a blogger is interested in technology, the blogger would post entries on the latest technological gadgets. Some people use their blogs simply as a scrapbook or a form of online memory the blog is useful to the author because the blog is searchable electronic medium that the author can access with a Web browser from anywhere in the world, at anytime of the day. 1. The latest entry in a blog would be A at the top of the page B at the bottom of the page C at the right side of the page D at the left side of the page 2. The following are possible reasons why a blog is useful except A A blog serves as a form of online memory B A person can write a blog on any topic that he/she wants C A blog can only be accessed from ones home D A blog can be written and updated anytime Question 3 Advantages of Biodiesel Biodiesel is largely environmentally friendly as it has fewer emissions than standard diesel, biodegradable, and a renewable source of energy. Biodiesel can help reduce dependency on foreign oil. Disadvantages of Biodiesel Biodiesel is a solvent which in higher concentrations may cause some older diesel vehicles to experience clogging.

In some engines, using biodiesel can lead to a slight decrease in fuel economy and power. Biodiesel helps to lubricate the engine Biodiesel has a higher cost than itself, decreasing engine wear. standard diesel. Biodiesel can be used in almost any diesel There is a limited amount and low vehicles with little or no engine availability of biodiesel. modification.

Question 4

The cutting and burning of tropical forests worldwide emits at least 20 percent of total global greenhouse gases. Protecting these forests minimizes the impact of climate change while providing direct benefits to local populations, such as fresh water, clean air, food, seed dispersal, pollination and sources of medicines. 4. Which of the following statements about tropical forests, is not true? A Tropical forests are a source of medicines B Tropical forests are a source of water and fresh air C Tropical forests are sources of food D Tropical forests are sources of pollution

Question 5 - 6

All the known elements differ from each other in the number of protons their atoms contain. An atom with a single proton, is a hydrogen atom, and is given the atomic number 1. An atom with two protons is a helium atom, and has the atomic number 2 and so on. Uranium, the largest of naturally occurring elements, has an atomic number 92. Fortunately, no one has to memorize the atomic numbers of all the elements, because a periodic table is provided in most chemistry texts. The periodic table lists all of the known elements in the order of their atomic numbers. 5. Atomic numbers are given to elements based on A the number of protons in their atoms. B the number of electrons in their atoms. C the number of neutrons in their atoms. D the number of protons and electrons in their atoms.

Calcium has an atomic number of 20. This means a calcium atom contains A 20 electrons B 20 protons C 20 neutrons D a total 20 protons and electrons

Question 7 - 8

Although phones seem to be made from harmless plastic, they have many nasty chemicals hidden inside them. Their plastic covers contain flame retardant additives that can give rise to toxic dioxins if incinerated, the cadmium in nickel-cadmium batteries is known o be toxic and carcinogenic and there are other toxic metals in the circuit board. When consigned to a landfill, phones could remain there for hundreds of years, leaching their toxic chemicals into the soil and potentially into water supplies. Recycling phones means that toxic substances can be removed and precious metals such as gold and silver can be recovered and used again in other products. 7. Why should phones be recycled? I To avoid the leaching of toxic substances into the environment II To avoid the release of toxic substances that could affect health III To recover and reuse useful materials such as precious metals A B C D I and II I and III II and III I, II and III

8. What precious metals can be found in phones? A Nickel and gold B Cadmium and silver C Gold and silver D Nickel and cadmium Questions 9 10 The purpose of the roller coasters initial ascent is to build up a reservoir of potential energy. The concept of potential energy, often referred to as energy of position, is very simple: As the coaster gets higher in the air, gravity can pull it down a greater distance. The potential energy you build going up the hill can be released as kinetic energy the energy of motion that takes you down the hill. Once you start cruising down that first hill, gravity takes over and all the built-up potential energy changes to kinetic energy. Gravity applies a constant downward force on the cars.

It has a value of 10 on the Mohrs scale compared to glass which has a value of 6 or talc with a value of 1. But if a diamond is placed in a oven and the temperature is raised to about 763 degrees Celsius, it will, simply vanish, without even ash remaining. Only a little carbon dioxide will have been released.

Question 25 Four main forces act on the aircraft when it is in the air. The aircrafts weight continually pulls it down towards the ground. The wings provide the lift which counteracts the weight and helps the aircraft to stay aloft. The air around the plane rubs against it to provide the drag to hold the aircraft back. The aircrafts engine provides the thrust to drive the plane forward to counteract the drag. The aircraft can move forward when the right balance is kept between the four forces. 25 The aircraft is able to move forward when A the drag weight equals the lift weight B the aircraft maintains a perfect weight C a right balance is struck between drag and thrust D there is a balance between weight, lift, drag and thrust
