How do engineers minimize drag in vehicle design?
b. By using streamlined shapes
How does friction contribute to heat production?
By transferring kinetic energy
What effect does friction have on a moving object?
Slows it down
What determines the amount of friction between two surfaces?
The roughness of the surfaces
What effect does air resistance have on falling objects like feathers or parachutes?
Slows down their fall
Which force is responsible for making it harder to go faster when riding a bike or running?
Air resistance
How does the size of an object affect air resistance?
Larger objects face more air resistance.
What does air resistance depend on?
The object’s shape and size
In which direction does friction act?
Opposite to the object’s motion
What is friction?
A force between two surfaces in motion or attempting motion
How does friction affect speed?
more friction decreases speed
Which statement about air resistance is correct?
Air resistance opposes the motion of objects through the air.
What is drag?
type of friction
Which is the energy caused by the vibration of particles in a medium?
sound energy
What type of energy do we get from the food we eat?
chemical
Which of the following are examples of potential energy?
nuclear energy
Which of the following is a force acting on an object due to gravity?
Weight
Which of the following units is a measure of weight?
Newton (N))
Which of the following units is a measure of mass?
Kilogram (kg)
What is the fundamental difference between mass and weight?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.
How does mass change with location in the universe?
Mass remains constant regardless of location.
THRESHING IS USED TO SEPERATE

The sugar cubes are called the
solute
There are two types of mixture
Heterogeneous and homogeneous
