Explanation

• Sublimation process is used for purifying a solid.
• Sublimation is the process where a solid changes directly into a gas without passing through the liquid state.

Explanation

According to the positions of effort, fulcrum, and load, levers are divided into three kinds:

1. First kind of lever: The fulcrum is located between the effort and the load. Examples: See-saws, crowbars, hammer claws, scissors, pliers and boat oars.
2. Second kind of lever: The load is located between the effort and the fulcrum. Examples: Bottle opener, wheelbarrow, nut cracker, nail clippers, nail cutter, paper cutter and door.
3. Third kind of lever: The effort is located between the fulcrum and the load. Examples: Broom, tongs, human arm, stapler, fishing rod and tweezers.

Explanation

• The velocity of a wave (v) is equal to the product of its wavelength (λ) and frequency (f).
• This is expressed mathematically as: v = λf

Explanation

• Wood is an insulator and cannot conduct electricity.
• So it cannot be used to complete a circuit.

Explanation

• Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact.
• It acts in the opposite direction of motion, making it harder to move an object or keep it moving.

Explanation

In a gas, the particles are:

• Widely spread out, with no fixed position or arrangement
• Not in a regular pattern, with no repeating structure or order
• Separated by large empty spaces, with no close packing or cohesion

Explanation

• The correct answer is: Particles have large empty spaces between them.
• This statement is incorrect because particles in liquids have small spaces between them, not large empty spaces.

Explanation

• Asthma is a respiratory disease that can be triggered or exacerbated by exposure to air pollution.
• Air pollution can irritate the airways, trigger asthma attacks, and make symptoms worse.

Air pollution can cause:

• Respiratory problems: asthma, pneumonia, lung cancer
