PHYSICS TOPICAL: MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MATTER FORM ONE
EXAM 2026
QUESTIONS
7(a) Define the following terms (i) Plasticity (01 mark) (ii)
Tension (01 mark) (iii) Surfactant (01 mark)
(b) When both a rubber band and a metal spring are stretched
using the same force, it will be noticed that the rubber band stretches much
more than the spring. Why does this happen, and what does it tell us about the
concept of elasticity in physics? (03 marks)
(c) Briefly explain the mechanism of capillarity (04 marks)
8(a) Give two (2) differences between Brittle and Ductile
material (02 marks)
(b) Draw the graph of relationship between tension and
extension of a stretched spring and show the following regions (Limit of
proportionality, Elastic limit and Breaking point) (04 marks).
