A catalytic converter helps reduce air pollution and acid rain. Where in a car will you find a catalytic converter? A fuel tank B air filter C oil filter D exhaust system What is meant by global warming? A the destruction of the ozone layer B that some places on Earth are getting hotter C the surface temperature of the Sun increasing D the increasing average temperatures around the world

D It cuts down the amount of pollution produced by light bulbs and other electrical appliances. 17 If you burn a piece of coal, the mass of the ashes you have left is less than the original mass of the coal because: A carbon dioxide has been produced, which has escaped into the air. B carbon dioxide has been absorbed from the air. C oxygen has been produced. D water has been absorbed from the air. A fuel is something that: A releases energy when it freezes. B takes in energy when it burns. C gives out energy when it burns. D gets hot on its own. Which of these fuels is not a hydrocarbon? A diesel B hydrogen C natural gas D petrol When hydrocarbons burn, they form: A hydrogen oxide only. B carbon dioxide only. C carbon dioxide and water. D smoke only. Charcoal is a fuel that is almost pure carbon. What is formed when charcoal burns? A carbon dioxide and oxygen B carbon dioxide and water C water and oxygen D just carbon dioxide An objects weight: A is caused because it is pulled towards the Earth. B is caused by the Earths magnetic field. C is caused by the air pushing down on it. D stays the same, even if its mass changes. Gravity is less on the Moon than on the Earth because: A the Moon is smaller than the Earth. B the Moon has a bigger mass than the Earth. C the Moon is bigger than the Earth. 2

18 14. Many scientists have linked increasing levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere with increasing temperatures around the world. Which of the following has helped increase the carbon dioxide levels? A the effect of acid rain B the destruction of the ozone layer C cutting down large areas of forest D increasing numbers of lightning storms The data below shows how the mean annual pH of rainwater changed at four different monitoring stations with time. At which monitoring station were the problems of air pollution getting worse? 21

22 16. How does saving energy by turning off lights and other electrical appliances, also help to reduce acid rain? A It reduces the heat losses to the environment. B It increases the amount of light available for photosynthesis. C It reduces the amount of fossil fuels being burned in power stations.

D the Moon has less mass than the Earth. 24 Which statement is not true? A The Earth attracts objects because it has a large mass. B You are attracting this quiz paper with a small force of gravity. C Only large objects like the Earth produce a force of gravity. D Your body is attracting the Earth. A bag of sugar has a mass of 1 kg. What is its weight? A1N B 10 N C 10 kg D 0.1 N Which statement is true? A Gravity always pulls a spacecraft towards the nearest planet. B There is no gravity in space. C Gravity is the same at all times during a space journey. D Gravity acting on a spacecraft depends on how close the spacecraft is to a planet. The planets stay in their orbits around the Sun because of: A the gravity of the Moon. B the gravity of the Sun. C magnetism. D the gravity pull of the Earth.

28

An artificial satellite is: A anything that orbits a planet or moon. B anything that orbits the Sun. C something made by humans that orbits the Earth or another planet or moon. D a machine that sends TV programmes. In a chemical reaction: A the masses of the reactants are always bigger than the masses of the products. B the masses of the reactants are always less than the masses of the products. C the masses of products and reactants are usually the same. D the masses of products and reactants are always the same. If you burn a piece of coal, the mass of the ashes you have left is less than the original mass of the coal because: A carbon dioxide has been produced, which has escaped into the air. B carbon dioxide has been absorbed from the air. C oxygen has been produced. D water has been absorbed from the air.
