ROUND ONE

1. The force of attraction or repulsion between two stationary electrical charges is known as
………….. ans: Electrostatic force
2. The force that opposes the relative sliding motion of two bodies in contact is
……………… ans :Friction
3. The force that binds molecules of the same substance together is known as …… ans :
Cohesion
4. The force of attraction between molecules of different substances is called
………………. ans : Adhesion

ROUND ONE

Explain briefly the following terms.

1. Why it is important to sharpen a knife before use
ANS: when a knife is sharpened, the area at the cutting urge is reduced; hence greater
pressure is attained at a given applied force. Therefore, it cuts easily with less applied
force
2. How a body which sinks in water could be made to float
ANS: when the volume of a body increases at constant mass, its density reduces,
therefore, the volume of in increased by increasing its hollowness such that its resultant
density is less than that of the water.
3. How a comb rubbed vigorously on dry hair attracts small pieces of paper
ANS: the comb becomes charged when vigorously rubbed on dry hair. When the comb is
brought near small pieces of paper, they also become charged oppositely bi induction.
The pieces of paper are then attracted to the charged comb as a result of the opposite
charge.
4. Why the efficiency of a machine is always less than one?
ANS: part of the energy input is used to overcome friction and also expended as heat
