Correct Answer: A. joint venture

Correct Answer: A. -\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Explanation

a = \(\frac{2}{3}\), d = \(\frac{7}{15}\) - \(\frac{2}{3}\)

= 7 - 10

= \(\frac{-3}{15}\)

d = - \(\frac{-1}{5}\)

T6 = a + 5d

= \(\frac{2}{3}\) + 5(\(\frac{-1}{5}\)

= \(\frac{2}{3}\) - 1

= \(\frac{2 - 3}{3}\)

= \(\frac{-1}{3}\)

Correct Answer: C. contract

Explanation

Kinetic energy at point of projection = \(\frac{1}{2} mv^2 \times 0.6 \times 20^2\) = 120J

or

V\(^2\) = U\(^2\) - 2gs

S = \(\frac{v^2 - U^2}{-2g}\) = \(\frac{0^2 - 2062}{-2 \times 10}\)

= 20cm

P.E. = mgs or mgh 0.6 x 10 x 20 = 120J

ii) Kinetic energy in reaching ground = Potential energy at highest point = 120J.

Correct Answer: A. The business

Correct Answer: B. They willfully sinned against God

Correct Answer: D. 27g

Explanation

(i) Sewage : Waste matter/ feaces, urine, waste water from animals/industrial/domestic sources; that is dissolved/ suspended in water.

(ii) Effects of releasing untreated sewage into a stagnant water body;

• Spread of water-borne diseases/correctly named diseases/microbes/pathogens
• May be toxic/poisonous to aquatic life/organisms
• Makes water unfit for consumption/use
• Increased decomposition
• Increased concentration of nutrients
• Rapid growth of algae/aquatic plants/algal bloom/eutrophication
• Depletion of oxygen
• Suffocation/death of aquatic animals
• Generates offensive odour/air pollution
• Nutrient/nitrate/phosphate enrichment/accumulation in a water body; as a result of breakdown by bacteria.

(b) Surface terracing as a soil conservation method :

A method of controlling erosion on a gentle/steep slope of hill; flat horizontal areas are constructed on which crops are cultivated; following the contour; steps/walls are built along the contous; plughing is also done along the contours; reduces the speed of water running down the slopes.

(c)Adaptation: Is the possession of the characteristic/trait/behaviour/structure/feature; that evolved over a period of time; enable an organism to survive and reproduce; in response to changes in the environment/habitat.

(d) Adaptation of;

(i) Hydrophytes

1. Some hydrophytes lack/have reduced roots/root hairs/root caps
2. do not need firm anchorage in water/wetland
3. presence of large air space parenchyma in roots/leaves; provide support for buoyancy
4. Presence of hairs on the leaves; to prevent blockage of the stomata
5. stomatal pores; occur only at the upper epidermis of the leaves to aid transpiration/loss of water
6. numerous adventitious roots and root hairs; aid the absorption of water/mineral salts
7. small size of the plant; for buoyancy/floating in water
8. waxy upper surface of the leaf; to prevent clogging of the leaf by water
9. long petiole/leaf stalk to support/ expose the broad lamina for photosynthesis
10. long flower stalk/pedicel; to expose flower for pollination/ pollinating agents
11. presence of breathing roots/pneumatophores; for breathing/gaseous exchange.

Xerophytes

1. possession of thick succulent leaves/stem; for storing water
2. reduction of leaves to spines; to reduce water loss/rate of transpiration
3. thick waxy cuticle on epidermis; to reduce water-loss/transpiration
4. possession of long tap root system; tp obtain water from great depth of soil
5. presence of sunken stomata; to reduce water loss
6. reduced number of stomata; to prevent excessive water loss
7. possession of multiple epidermal layers; for water conservation/to reduce water loss.

Correct Answer: D. 4.7

Explanation

Mean \(\bar{x} = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f} = \frac{189}{40}\)

= \(4.725 \approxeq 4.7\)
