II. SHORT ANSWER TYPE
QUESTIONS
1. Why a hand span cannot be used universally as a unit of length ?
Ans. Hand span cannot be used as standard units of length because the size of hand span varies from person to person. So, two different people may give different measurements for the same length, which is not desirable for a standard unit.
2. What is meant
by rest and motion ?
Ans. An object that does not change its positions with time with respect to a fixed point is said to be at rest. An object that changes its positions with time with respect to a fixed point is said to be in motion.
3. Differentiate between the motion of a ceiling fan and that of sewing
machine.
Ans.
|
Motion of a ceiling fan |
Motion of a sewing
machine |
|
The motion of the ceiling fan is the rotatory motion. |
The motion of the needle of sewing machine is the linear motion. |
|
Fan blades move in a circular pattern. |
The needle of the sewing machine has a periodic motion. |
4. The distance between Rohit’s house and Richa’s house is 20,000 m.
Express it in km.
Ans. Since 1000 m = 1 km Or 1m = 1/1000 km
Therefore 20,000 m = 20,000/1000 = 20 km
5. Arrange the following in decreasing order : 1 mm, 1 km, 1 cm, 1 dm,
1 hai= 10 cm and 1 cm = 10 mm
∴ 1 m = 100 × 10 = 1000 mm
Now, 1 km = 1000 m
∴ 1 km = (1000 × 100) cm = 100000 cm =
(100000 × 10) mm
= 1000000
mm
1 km> 1m>1dm> 1cm>1mm
6. Name the three types of translatory motion. Give one example of each type.
Ans. Three types of translatory motion are:
• Linear motion (or rectilinear motion): The motion of cars on a straight road
• Curvilinear motion (or Circular motion): The motion of a car along a curved road
• Random motion: Motion of a football or hockey player on the ground.
III. LONG ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS
1.
Why do we need standard units for
measurements?
Ans.
We need standard unit for measurement for precision and accuracy. For proper
dealing, measurement should be same for everybody at all places. Thus there
should be uniformity in measurement. For the sake of uniformity we need a
common set of units of measurement, which are called standard units.
2.
Mention the precautions to be observed while measuring the length of a pencil
using a ruler.
Ans.
To measure length of an object accurately, following precautions should be
taken:
•
The scale should be placed along the length to be measured. The scale should be
placed very close to the object to be measured.
•
Keep your eye in line with the point of measurement. If the eye is not in line
with the point of measurement, the measured length will be either shorter or
longer than the actual length.
Do
not start measurement from the worn out or damaged end of the scale. If the zero
end of the scale is damaged, start measurement from some other mark of the
scale.
3.
Name the types of motion executed by a rolling body. Give one example of
rolling motion.
Ans.
A rolling body executes both translational and rotational motion i.e. it moves
along its axis and also moves linearly
The
motion of a cylinder on an inclined plane or that of a bicycle wheel are
examples of rolling motion.
4. What is circular motion ? How does it differ from rotatory motion ?
Ans.
|
Rotatory motion |
Circular motion |
|
A body is said to be in rotatory motion if it moves about a fixed axis. |
The motion of a body along a circular path is called circular motion. |
|
The axis of rotation passes from a point in the body itself. |
The axis of revolution doesn’t pass through the body. |
|
The body undergoes rotation. |
The body undergoes revolution |
|
Ex.- Motion of earth about its own axis is an example of rotatory motion |
Ex.- Motion of earth around the sun is an example of circular motion. |
5. What kind of motion is executed by
(a) an ant
(b) a car moving on the straight road
(c) pendulum of a clock
(d) potter’s wheel
(e) a stone tied to a string
(f) ) a spin ball
Ans. (a)
Random motion
(b) Translatory motion
(c) Periodic motion
(d) Rotational motion
(e) Circular motion
(f) Rotational motion
6. State three precautions to be taken to measure the length of an object using a metre scale.
Ans. To measure length of an object accurately, following precautions should be taken:
·
The scale should be placed along the length to be measured. The
scale should be placed very close to the object to be measured.
·
Keep your eye in line with the point of measurement. If the eye
is not in line with the point of measurement, the measured length will be
either shorter or longer than the actual length.
·
Do not start measurement from the worn out or damaged end of the
scale. If the zero end of the scale is damaged, start measurement from some
other mark of the scale.
IV. HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS
1. Why are the co-passengers in a train
appear to be stationary, while the trees outside appear to move to a passenger
sitting in the train ?
Ans. The trees appear to be in moving
opposite direction while travelling in a train because the position of trees is
changing with respect to us. Whereas, our co-passenger in a train seem to be at
stationary position because their position is not changing with respect to us.
2. A turning screw undergoes two kinds of
motion at the same time. Identify the two kinds of motion.
Ans. Turning screw undergoes a rotatory motion and a linear motion in forward direction along with it.
3. A student has to measure the length of
his pencil. The zero mark on the scale is not clearly visible. How should
he/she use the scale to get the correct length of the pencil ?
Ans. The student can measure the length
from the 1cm mark in the scale and subtract 1cm later to his measurement. This will give the correct length of the pencil.
