SECTION ONE : Comprehension ( 7 marks)

Reads the text carefully and answer the questions below.
Text : Machines and Work
Defined in the simplest term a machine is a device that uses force to accomplish
something. More technically, it is a device that transmits and changes force or motion into work.
This definition implies that a machine must have moving parts.
A machine can be very simple, like a block and tackle to raise a heavy weight or very complex,
like a railroad locomotive or the mechancial systems used for industrial processes.
A machine receives input from an energy source and transforms into out put in the form of
mechanical or electrical energy. Machines whose input is a natural source of energy are called
prime movers.
Natural sources of energy include wind, water, steam and petroleum. Windmills and
waterwheels are prime movers. So are the great turbine driven by water or steam that turn the
generators that produce electricity ; and so are internal combustion engines that use petroleum
products as fuel.
Electric motors are not prime movers, since an alternating current of electricity, which
supplies most electrical energy does not exist in nature. Force is an effort that results in motion
or physical charge.
The water which strikes the blades of a turbine is exerting force and the distance through which
it was exerted.
