ENGINEERING SCIENCE N4

QUESTION 1: GENERAL

1.1 An object remains at rest or moves in a straight line✓ with uniform velocity
unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.✓ (2)

1.2 Angular displacement is the motion from one position✓ to another position in a
circular course.✓ (2)

1.3 The pressure in given mass of gas varies✓ directly with the absolute
temperature of the gas when the volume is kept constant.✓ (2)

1.4 When a pressure is exerted on the surface of a liquid,✓ this force is transmitted
with the same intensity in all directions through the liquid.✓ (2)
