General Knowledge flashcards for FIA Recruitment Test
20 of 50 cards from the General Knowledge deck — real questions with worked answers.
State Newton's Second Law of Motion and give its formula.
The acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Formula: F = ma (force = mass x acceleration).
Why does a pressure cooker cook food faster?
It traps steam, raising the internal pressure, which raises water's boiling point above 100 C. The higher temperature cooks food faster.
What everyday phenomenon explains why the sky appears blue?
Rayleigh scattering: shorter (blue) wavelengths of sunlight are scattered more by air molecules than longer (red) wavelengths.
Define refraction and give one daily-life example.
Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another of different density. Example: a straw appears bent in a glass of water.
What is the speed of sound in air at room temperature (approx.)?
About 343 metres per second (roughly 1,235 km/h) at 20 C.
What is the SI unit of electric current and what does 1 ampere equal?
The ampere (A). One ampere equals a flow of one coulomb of charge per second.
State Ohm's Law and its formula.
The current through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. Formula: V = I x R.
What is the chemical symbol and formula of common table salt?
Sodium chloride, formula NaCl.
What is the pH value of a neutral solution, and what do values below and above it indicate?
Neutral pH is 7. Below 7 is acidic; above 7 is basic (alkaline).
What are the three subatomic particles of an atom and their charges?
Proton (positive), neutron (no charge), and electron (negative).
Define an isotope.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons (different mass numbers).
What gas is produced when a metal reacts with a dilute acid?
Hydrogen gas (H2).
What is the chemical formula for water and for carbon dioxide?
Water is H2O; carbon dioxide is CO2.
Distinguish between a physical change and a chemical change.
A physical change alters form/state without producing a new substance (e.g., melting ice). A chemical change produces a new substance (e.g., burning wood).
Which blood group is the universal donor and which is the universal recipient?
O negative is the universal donor; AB positive is the universal recipient.
Name the four chambers of the human heart.
Right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle.
How many bones are there in the adult human body?
206 bones.
Which organ produces insulin and what does insulin regulate?
The pancreas produces insulin, which regulates blood sugar (glucose) levels.
What is the largest organ of the human body?
The skin.
Name the vitamin produced by the skin in sunlight and one deficiency disease it prevents.
Vitamin D; it prevents rickets (and osteomalacia).
