The French Revolution broke out in 1789 during the reign of the indecisive King Louis XVI. Years of social, political, and economic problems, as well as the influence of Enlightenment ideas, led to unrest among the commoners. In May 1789, the Estates-General was convened to address France's fiscal crisis but ended in deadlock. In June, the National Assembly swore the Tennis Court Oath, pledging not to disband until France had a constitution. On July 14, 1789, crowds stormed the Bastille prison, marking the start of the French Revolution.
Character A represents the First Estate of clergy and had privileges such as not paying taxes or serving in the armies. Character B represents the Second Estate of nobility and held most important government posts. Character C represents the Third Estate of commoners and had a difficult life, as shown in the cartoon carrying heavy loads while being whipped by animals, indicating they paid heavy taxes and did difficult manual labor.
This document discusses three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. For conduction, it notes that materials can be good or poor conductors of heat. Convection involves hot or cold fluids rising or sinking, setting up convection currents that heat or cool surrounding areas quickly and evenly. Radiation describes how materials can be good or poor radiators and absorbers of heat energy depending on their properties like color, and how this affects heating and cooling through the emission and absorption of infrared radiation.

The document discusses gases in air, how to test for gases, differences between breathed and unbreathed air, conditions needed for burning, and fire safety. It provides information about the components of air, how to test for oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water in air samples. It compares the oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water vapor, and temperature levels in breathed vs unbreathed air. It outlines the three conditions (fuel, oxygen, high temperature) needed for burning and how fires can be extinguished by removing one of these conditions. Guidelines are given for preventing fires at home and actions to take if a fire breaks out.
This document provides revision notes on basics of electricity. It discusses the key conditions needed for electricity to flow, including having a source of electrical energy like a dry cell and a closed circuit. It defines common electrical components like switches and describes how they work. It also explains concepts such as electric current, voltage, resistance, and how these can be measured using instruments like ammeters and voltmeters. Examples are given throughout to illustrate the concepts discussed.
1) The document discusses common acids and alkalis found in daily life and laboratories. It provides examples of acids in drinks, foods and household products. Common acids used in laboratories include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid.
2) Natural plant pigments and litmus are discussed as indicators for testing acids and alkalis. Litmus paper or solution changes color between red and blue depending on whether the solution is acidic or alkaline.
3) Safety precautions are emphasized when handling acids and alkalis due to their corrosive properties. Personal protective equipment should be worn and direct contact avoided.
This document provides information about electricity, circuits, and circuit components. It defines key terms like closed and open circuits, conductors and insulators, electric current, voltage, resistance, and circuit symbols. It explains that a closed circuit with a power source is needed for current to flow. It also describes the differences between series and parallel circuits, noting that in series circuits the current is the same at all points, while in parallel circuits the currents can be different sizes.
The major urban problems in Hong Kong are housing, pollution, and traffic congestion. These problems are caused by Hong Kong's high population density, limited land supply, past lack of urban planning, and economic growth. To address these issues, the government has taken measures such as developing new towns, reclamation, building more public housing, redeveloping old urban areas, improving transportation infrastructure, enacting environmental protection laws, and incorporating better planning in new developments. However, urban solutions can also create new problems for the environment if not implemented sustainably. Citizens must work with the government to develop cities in a way that balances development and conservation.
This document contains the marking scheme for an ICT uniform test with 7 questions. It provides the answers and marks awarded for each part of each question. The questions cover topics like Pascal programming, output formatting, variables, if/else statements, and multimedia compression methods. For each question, it lists the answers or code snippets and the number of marks awarded per part in parentheses.
