8. Answer these questions

There are two forces acting on a canoe floating on water.

a. The force that is exerted by water is ......................................... ( upthrust / friction )
b. The force that is exerted by gravity is ......................................... ( mass / weight )
c. We can tell that the forces on canoe are balanced because the canoe ......................................................

9. Circle the correct word to complete the sentences.

Gravity is a force that pulls objects upward / downward.

Air resistance / Energy is a friction force againts the gravity, when

an object falls through the air. When a parachutist jumps out of a

plane, he falls very slowly / quickly at first because his weight is

greater than his gravity / air resistance. As he falls faster, there is

more air resistance and he slows down. When he opens the

parachute, the air resistance increases / decreases quickly and is

actually stronger / weaker than gravity for a short time, so the

parachutis moves upward and slows down.

10. Look at the table below. The table show how much an object with a mass in kg would weight in different
places. Count the weight on each places.
Planets Mass (kg) Gravity (N/kg) Weight ( N )

Sun 100 2700 ................

Earth 100 10 ................
Moon 100 1.6 ................
Venus 100 8.5 ................
Outer space 100 0 ................

a. What does the table suggest about the strength of gravity on Earth and on Venus?
..................................................................................................................................................................
..................................................................................................................................................................
b. Why would the object weight almost nothing in outer space?
..................................................................................................................................................................
c. Which one has the strongest force of gravity? Explain why!

11. Draw an arrow to show the process of seeing.

We can see objects because .................................................................................................................

12. Look at this picture.

Circle the combination of mediums that will cause the ray of light to be refracted as it passes from medium
A to medium B

Air Air Water

Water Air Clear plastic

Glass Glass Clear plastic

Glass Air Clear plastic

13. Draw a simple diagram to show the difference between reflection and refraction.

Reflection Refraction

a. Mirror, shiny surfaces and still water are good / bad reflectors of light.
b. When a light ray hit a mirror, it is reflected different / same angle as it hits it.
c. Refraction happens when light hit on different mass / medium.
d. When refraction happens, the light will be bent / bounce.

14. Draw a circuit diagram with symbols.

Three lamps, two cells and an open switch.
15. Look at the picture.
a. What type of circuit is in circuit P , Q , R ?
...................................................................................................
b. If another lamp was added in series to circuit P, explain with
reasons how this affect the brigtness of the existing lamps.

Circuit P ...................................................................................................
...................................................................................................
c. If another lamp was added in parallel to circuit Q, explain with
reasons how this affect the brigtness of the existing lamps.
...................................................................................................
...................................................................................................
Circuit Q d. How long the cell would last after adding another lamp to
circuit Q? It will last the same, faster or slower?
...................................................................................................
...................................................................................................
