Answer ALL questions
1.

3 marks

2.

Add impurities

Raise temperature

Break surface tension

3 marks

4.

Metal is a better conductor of heat than wood.

The metal handle conducts heat away from the body faster than a wooden handle.

2 marks

5.

The thick walled glass is more likely to crack.

Glass is a poor conductor of heat. On the thick-walled glass, the inner wall expands more than the outer wall while the thin –walled glass expands uniformly.

SECTION B (55 Marks)

Answer ALL questions
14.

(c).Advantages

-Makes walking easier

-Friction between matchstick head and rough surface develops heat igniting the stick head

-Friction between brake drum and brake lining halts the vehicle

Disadvantages

-Causes wear, tear and noise between moving parts of a system

-Causes energy loss since work has to be done against it
