Q

what is stopping distance

A

the minimum distance required to stop a vehicle in an emergency

16
Q

what is the formula for distance

A

speed x time

17
Q

what is thinking distance

A

the amount of time it takes a driver to react and stop a vehicle

18
Q

what is the formula for thinking distance

A

speed x time

19
Q

what is the formula for stopping distance

A

thinking distance +breaking distance

20
Q

what is braking distance

A

depends on how fast a vehicle is travelling before the brakes are applied, and is proportional to the square of the initial speed#

21
Q

Newtons first law

A

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it

22
Q

Newton second law

A

In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration

23
Q

newton 3rd law

A

n the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

24
Q

What are carbohydrates and what is their importance

A

sugar molecules and they provide the body with glucose for energy production

25
Q

what are proteins and what is their importance

A

A molecule made up of amino acids. and they are used to repair body tissues

26
Q

what are li[ids and why are they important

A

Lipids are a class of organic compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like alcohol and acetone.
maintain temperature and insulate the body

27
Q

How does one test for glucose (reducing sugar )

A

Using benedicts solution (brick red)

28
Q

How does one test for starch

A

Using Iodine (if positive blue black )

29
Q

How does on test for protein

A

Using buiret solution ( if positive the color will be purple)

30
Q

Test for lipids?

A

get a food sample and mix with ethanol (cloudy emulasion
