Essay Type Questions

Question 1.
Define potential energy. Derive an expression for the potential energy of a body.
Answer:
Potential Energy:
The energy possessed by a body due to its position or change in shape is known as potential energy.

Expression for potential energy:
Consider a body of mass m kept on the.ground level at point ‘A’. it is raised to a point ‘B’ by applying a force F on it. The distance between A and B is ‘h’.
As we know that, the force F acting on the body to lift it, is equal and opposite to the gravitational force
F = \(\frac{G M_e m}{\mathrm{R}_e{ }^2}\) …………(i)

Where, Me = Mass of the earth
Re = Radius of the earth
But, g = \(\frac{G M_e m}{\mathrm{R}_e{ }^2}\) (g = acceleration due to gravity) ………..(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii),
F = mg
The work done in raising the body to a height ‘h’
W = F x S (∵ s = h) = mgh
Because work done is same as the energy. Therefore, at a height ‘h’ the potential energy of the object is,
Potential Energy (P.E.) = mgh
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 11 Work and Energy - 6

Question 2.
Define kinetic energy. Obtain an expression for it.
Answer:
Kinetic Energy:
The energy possessed by a body due to its motion is called kinetic energy.

Expression:
Let us suppose a body of mass m is dropped from a height h and its velocity becomes V.
on reaching the ground level Then –
Initial velocity of the body (u) = 0
Acceleration (a) = g (acceleration due to gravity)
Final velocity = v
Distance (s) = Height (h)
We know that, v2 – u2 = 2as
v2 – 0 = 2gh
v2 = 2gh
h = \(\frac{v^2}{2 g}\) …………. (i)
As the object comes down, its potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases. When the body strikes to the ground level, its hoIe potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, Energy can neither be increased nr be decreased.”
Thus, kinetic energy at ground level = Potential energy at height h.
Kineiic Energy = mgh
or K.E. = mg x \(\frac{v^2}{2 g}\) (∵ h = \(\frac{v^2}{2 g}\))
K.E. = \(\frac {1}{2}\) mv2

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 11 Work and Energy

Question 3.
Define Law of conservation of energy. Give an example of conservation of energy.
Answer:
Law of conservation of energy-According to this law, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. ¡t can only be transfèrred from one form to another. When the energy is released in any form, the same amount of energy appears in other forms. Thus, total energy of the universe remains constant. Suppose, an object of mass m starts falling from a height h, on the ground level.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 11 Work and Energy - 7

(a)EnergyatpointA, PotentialEnergy = mgh
Kinetic Energy = 0
∴ Total energy = mgh + 0 = mgh ……………(i)

(b)Energy at point B:
Suppose the object falls from A to B at a distance s, then its height from ground level will be (h-S).
∴ Potential energy = mg (h-s)
and v2-u2 = 2gs
v2 = 2gs [∵ u = 0]
Kinetic Energy = \(\frac {1}{2}\) mv2 = \(\frac {1}{2}\)m x 2gs = mgs
Total Energy = mg (h-s) + mgh = mgs – mgs + mgs = mgh …………(2)

(c) Energy at point C; v2-u2 = 2gh
v2 = 2gh [∵u = 0]
Kinetic Energy = \(\frac {1}{2}\) mv2 = \(\frac {1}{2}\) m x 2gh = mgh
and Potential Energy = 0
Total Energy = mgh + 0 = mgh ……………(iii)
in this way we observe from eQuestion (i), (ii) and (iii) that the energy of the object remains constant at every point. There is potential energy in the object at highest point. When it falls litle downs same part of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and on ground level whole potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Practical Work

Experiment 1.
Describe by an experiment that the wark done by a force can either be positive or negative.

Procedure:
A child is pulling a toy car parallel to the ground as shown in figure. The child has exerted a force in the direction of displacement of car. In this situation, the work done will be equal to the product of the force and displacement. In this situation the work done by the force is taken as positive. Consider a situation in which an object is being displaced by the action of forces and we identit one of the forces, F acting Opposite to the direction of the displacement s, thus, the angle between the two directions is 1800.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 11 Work and Energy - 8

In such a situation, the work ‘ done by the force F is taken as negative and denoted by the minus sign. The work done by the force is F x (-s) or (-F x s). When the force acts opposite to the direction of the displacement, the work done is negative. When the force acts in the direction ofdisplacernen, the work done is positive.

Experimenf 2.
Describe by an activity in which both positive and negative forces are working.

Procedure:
When an object is lifted up, both positive and negative forces work, because the force applied by us, displaces the object upward and called positive force, while the force of gravity applied by earth pulls the object downward which is called negative force.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 11 Work and Energy

Experiment 3.
Describe by an experiment that the object at more height has more energy.

Procedure:
(1) Take a heavy ball. Drop it on a thick bed of sand. A wet bed of sand would be better. Drop the ball on the sand bed from height of about 25 cm. The ball creates a depression.
(2) Repeat this activity from heights of 50 cm, I m and 1.5 m.
(3) Ensure that all the depressions are distinctly visible.
(4) Mark the depressions to indicate the height from which the ball was dropped.
(5) Compare their depths.

We will observe that when the ball was dropped from the height of 1.5 m, the depression was the deepest; which proves that the object at more height has more energy which makes the deepest depression.

Expereiient 4.
Describe by an experiment that the kinetic energy of an object increases by increasing its mass.

Procedure:
(1) Set up the apparatus as shown in figure
(2) Place a wooden block of known mass in front of the trolley at a convenient fixed distance.
(3) Place a known mass on the pan so that the trolley starts moving.
(4) The trolley moves forward and hits the wooden block and displaces the block.
(5) Note down the displacement of the block. It is, clear that the work is done on the block by the trolley as the block has gained energy.
(6) Repeat this activity by increasing the mass on the pan.

You will observe that the displacement will increase with the increase in mass, which proves that the kinetic energy increases by increasing the mass.

Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
If a piece of stone is allowed to fall freely from a certain height, then what will be the changes in velocity ?
Answer:
The following are the changes :
(1) The initial velocity of stone is zero and it increases at coming down.
(2) The stone nearest to earth has maximum velocity.
(3) The velocity of stone becomes zero after striking the ground. –

Question 2.
What is gravitation ? In which direction it works ?
Answer:
Everybody of universe attracts other body towards itself. This attraction between two bodies is gravitation. This attraction between two bodies works along the line joining the centres.

Question 3.
Prove that acceleration produced in the object dropped towards the earth does not depends upon its mass.
Answer:
If an object of mass, m is dropped from the centre of earth at a distance of R, then the force exerted by the earth on object,
F = \(\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{R}^2}\)
Where, Me = mass of earth, G = gravitation constant
∴ Acceleration produced in the object = \(\frac {F}{m}\) (F = ma; a = \(\frac {F}{m}\))
= \(\frac{\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{R}^2}}{\mathrm{~m}}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{R}^2} \times \frac{1}{\mathrm{~m}}=\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{e}}}{\mathrm{R}^2}\)
∴ The acceleration produced in an object does not depend upon the mass of dropped object.

Question 4.
What is Newton’s third law of motion ? Is this law applicable on gravitational force ? Explain.
Answer:
According to Newton’s third law, “To every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.” For example, we act on ball when we throw it on wall and ball comes back by the reaction of wall. Thus, an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B is also exerts equal and opposite force on A. This fact is also true for gravitational force. When a stone falls on earth, it happens due to the force of gravity of the earth on stone. In fact, the piece of stone, attracts the earth towards itself with equal force of gravity. But the mass of stone is less than that of the earth so the force exerted by the stone on the earth is less. Therefore the stone seems to attracted towards earth.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 10 Gravitation

Question 5.
Discuss the motion of the object thrown upward.
Answer:
When a body is thrown upward, the earth attracts that body continuously towards itself. Therefore, the gravitational force works in opposite direction of motion and the body moves slowly. The speed reduces at a rate of 9.8 ms-2 in every second. At last when the body reaches at highest point, the speed becomes zero. The body again starts falling towards earth with an acceleration of 9.8 ms-2.

Question 6.
Find the unit of ‘G’
Answer:
‘G’ is the ratio of force (F) and \(\frac{M_1 M_2}{R^2}\) Therefore, its unit depends upon the units offorce, mass and distance. If the mass is taken in kilogram, distance in metre and time in second, then the uqit offorce is newton (N).
Unit of G = \(\frac{M_1 M_2}{R^2}\) = Nm2/kg2

Question 7.
Why is G called universal constant ?
Answer:
We know that F = G \(\frac{m_1 m_2}{R^2}\)
‘G’ is constant among diem. The value of ‘G’ does not depend upon the Value of mj, m2 or R. Its value does not depend upon that how, when and where the force is measured. The value of‘G’ remains consant for any two bodies in universe. The ratio of F and \(\frac{m_1 m_2}{R^2}\) is equal to G which is equal for any two bodies. That is why, G is called universal constant.

Answer:
The difference between ‘g’ and ‘G’ is as follows:

g: G:
1. It indicates acceleration due to gravity. 1. It indicates gravitational constant.
2. Its value vary from place to place. 2. Its value is same everywhere. Therefore, it is called universal constant.
3. Its value on earth is 9.8 ms-2. 3. Its value is 6.673 x 10-11 Nm2 kg-2.
4. It is always negative. 4. It is always positive.

Question 9.
Prove that the bodies of different masses when dropped together from the same height, strikes in same time (assume, air resistance is negligible).
S0lution:
Suppose two objects of different masses were dropped together from same height h,
In this state s = h, u = 0
According to formula s = ut + \(\frac {1}{2}\) gt2
h = 0 x t + \(\frac {1}{2}\) gt2
Or h = \(\frac {1}{2}\) gt2
Or 2h = gt2
Or gt2 = 2h
t2 = \(\frac {2h}{g}\)
Or t = \(\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}}\)
It is clear from the equation that the time taken by objects does not depend upon masses. Thus, both objects fall in same time on earth.

u = initial velocity
y = final velocity
g = acceleration due to gravity
s = distance or height
t = time

Question 12.
What is meant by weight ? Write the formula for weight.
Answer:
The force of attraction applied by earth on an object is called its weight. if earth produces an acceleration ‘g’ on an object of mass, m then, the force of artraction applied by earth on object, F = mg
But, the force of attraction applied by the earth on object (F) = Weight of object (W) = W = mg

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 10 Gravitation

Question 13.
Find a formula to compare the weight of a body on earth and on any other heavenly body.
Solution:
Suppose, mass of the object = m
Mass of the earth = Me
Radius of earth = Re
The attractive force applied by earth on object, Fe = \(\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{e}}{ }^2}\) ………..(i)
Suppose, mass of hçavenly body = Mm
Radius of heavenly body = Rm
The force of attraction applied by other heavenly body on object
Fm = \(\mathrm{G} \frac{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{m}} \times \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{m}}^2}\) …………..(ii)

Dividing eq (ii) by eq (1)
\(\frac{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{e}}}=\frac{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{e}}} \times\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{e}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{m}}}\right)^2\)

Question 14.
Find the relation between acceleration due to gravity (g) and universal gravitational constant (G).
Answer:
Suppose an object of mass m is kept at a distance of R from the centre of the earth. If M is the mass of the earth, then the force applied by earth on that object:
F = \(\mathrm{G} \frac{\mathrm{Mm}}{\mathrm{R}^2}\) ………..(i)
The force by which the earth attracts the object towards its centre, is cal led weight. It is also denoted by’ F’.
F = mass (m) x acceleration due to gravity (g)
or F = mg ……….(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii) mg = \(\mathrm{G} \frac{\mathrm{Mm}}{\mathrm{R}^2}\)
Or g = \(\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}^2}\)
This is the required relation. The value of’g’ can be found with the help of this.

Question 15.
What is mass ? What is its measurement unit ? WrIte the law to measure mass.
Answer:
Mass: The quantity of matter contained in an object is called its mass. It is a scalar and constant quantity.
The unit of mass is kilogram. It is found by physical balance.

Law to measure mass:
Suppose we have two objects of masses m1 and m2, kept at the same distance from the centre of the earth, then the force of attraction between the earth and m1:
F1 = R2
Here, Me = mass of earth and R = distance of mass m1 from the centre of the earth.
Like this, the force of attraction between the earth and m2
F1 = \(\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{m}_1}{\mathrm{R}^2}\)
Here, Me = mass of earth and R = distance of mass m1 from the centre of the earth.
Like this, the force of attraction between the earth and m2
F2 = \(\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{m}_2}{\mathrm{R}^2}\)
1f both the forces are same, then F1 = F2
\(\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{m}_1}{\mathrm{R}^2}=\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{m}_2}{\mathrm{R}^2}\)
∴ m1 = m1
Thus, if two forces are equal then the masses of two objects will be equal and parts of physical balance will be equal.

But first of all Galelio told that the air resistance becomes zero, cotton ball and piece of stone will reach in same time on the surface of earth with equal acceleration. According to Galelio. “the objects the acceleration of falling on the acceleration of the earth does not depend upon their masses.”
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 10 Gravitation - 3

Question 19.
How does acceleration due to gravity change at any place (i) due to height, (ii) due to the shape of the earth?
Answer:
In the following way the acceleration due to gravity changes at any place:
(i) Due to height: The value of ‘g’ is less on the mountains situated at some height on earth surface, whereas it ¡s more on plain surface.
∴ \(\frac{W_h}{W}=\frac{g_h}{g}=\frac{R^2}{(R+h)^2}\)
Like this, the value of ‘g’ goes on decreasing by increasing height.

(ii) Due to the shape of earth: The earth is not completely round like a ball, but it is convexed at the equator line and concaved at the polar line. There is a difference of 22 km between the radius of the equator and polar line of the earth. That’s why
the value of’g’ is more on poles and less on equators.
∴ g = \(\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}^2}\) (Where, G and M are constant.)
∴ g ∝ \(\frac{1}{R^2}\)

Question 20.
“The moon falls towards the earth.” What does it mean ? Why does it not fall on the surface of the earth?
Answer:
The moon falls towards the earth means that the earth attracts the moon towards itself due to its gravitational force. But, moon moves around the earth in a circular path and does not fall, because the velocity of the object moving on a circular path changes at every point. The change in velocity or acceleration is due to the change in the direction of motion of the object. The centripetal force which produces this acceleration maintains the body to move in circle, which is always directed towards the centre.

Question 22.
What are Kepler’s three laws of motion?
Answer:
Kepler’s is three laws of motion are following:
(i) The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the sun at one of the foci. As the position of sun is shown by in the figure.
(2) The line joining the planet and the sun sweep equal area in equal intervals of time. Thus, if the time of travel from A to B is same as that from C to D, then the areas OAB and OCD are equal.
(3) The cube of the mean distance of a planet from the sun is proportional to the square of its orbital period, T, or constant. It is important to know that Kepler could not give a theory to explain the motion ofplanets. It was Newton who showed that the cause of the planetory motion is the gravitational force that the sun exerts on them.

Question 25.
What is buoyant force? [low is it measured?
Answer:
When a body is immersed in a fluid, an upward force works on the body which is called buoyant force. Measurement of Buoyant Force: Take a metal’s sphere. Hang it on spring balance and note its weight. Let its weight is W1 gm. Now put some water in a beaker and take the sphere in the beaker slowly. You will see that the weight of sphere seems decreasing when put in water slowly, which is indicated by spring balance. Note the indicator of spring balance when the solid sphere immersed completely in water.
Let it is W2 gm.
The difference between two weights will be the buoyant force of water.
Buoyant force = weight of sphere in air – weight of sphere in water.
= (W1 – W2)gm

Question 31.
Define Archimedes’ principle and explain it. What arc uses of this principle? Or Define Archimedes’ Principle. Write Iwo applications ofArchimedes’ Principle.
Answer:
Statement of Archimedes’ principle: When a body is immersed fully or partially ¡n a fluid, it expirences an upward force that is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it.

Explanation:
When a solid is immersed in a fluid, the fluid pushes it upwards by its buoyant force, and its wekht decreases, because buoyant force is equal to the weight of water displaced by the solid. So the decrease in weight of solid when immersed ¡n fluid is equal to the weight of the water displaced.

Uses of Archimedes’ principie in daily life:
(I) It is used in designing of ships and submarines.
(2) The lactometer, which is used to determine the purity of milk, is based on this principle. .
(3) The hydrometer which is used for determining density of liquid, is also based on this principle.

Essay Type Questions

Question 1.
Find the deflnition of universal gravitational constant ‘G’. Write the unit of ‘G’ In SI system.
Answer:
According to Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation,

F = \(\mathrm{G} \frac{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{M}_2}{\mathrm{R}^2}\)
Or G = \(\frac{\mathrm{FR}^2}{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{M}_2}\)
If M2 = M2 = 1 unit and R = 1 unit, then
G = \(\frac{F \times 1^2}{1 \times 1}=\frac{F \times 1}{1 \times 1}\) = F
∴ Thus, universal gravitational constant is a gravitational force which is placed between the objects of unit mass which are at unit distance from each other.

SI unit of G:
G = \(\frac{\mathrm{FR}^2}{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{M}_2}\)
Because G is the ratio ofF and M1 M2/R2 . Therefore, its unit depends upon the units of force, mass and distance. If mass is taken in kilogram, distance in metres and time in seconds, then unit of force is newton (N). Therefore, unit of G will be Nm-2 kg-2. The value of G found by the experiments on golden balls is:
G = 0.000,000,000,066,734 Nm2 kg2
= 6.673 x 10-11 Nm2 kg2

Question 2.
State the universal law of gravitation. Derive the formula for gravitational force between two bodies. Aand B of masses M and m, placed at a distanced.\(1 \frac{1}{2}+2 \frac{1}{2}=4\)
Answer:
Universal Law of Gravitation:
Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force is along the line joining the çentres of two objects.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 10 Gravitation - 9

Let two objects A and B of masses M and ‘m’ lies at a distance ‘d’ from each other as shown in figure. Let the force of attraction between two objects be F. According to the universal law of gravitation, the force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses, that is,
F ∝ M x m …………(i)
And the force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, that is,
F ∝ \(\frac{M \times m}{d^2}\) ………..(ii)
Combining eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
F ∝ \(\frac{M \times m}{d^2}\) or F = G \(\frac{M \times m}{d^2}\)
Where G is the constant of proportionality and is called universal gravitational constant.

Question 3.
Compare the weights of body if that are weigh on earth and moon.
Answer:
The value of acceleration due to gravity of each planet (g) depends upon its mass and radius. Due to this reason, weight of an object on moon is \(\frac {1}{6}\) th times than on the earth. Suppose the mass of object is ‘m’e. If the mass of earth is Me and its radius is Re, then weight of the object on earth (Fe).
Fe = \(\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{e} \mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{e}}^2}\) ………..(i)
In same way, the mass of the moon is Mm and its radius is Rm then weight of the object on moon (Fm)
Fm = \(\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{e}}^2}\) ………(ii)
Dividing eQuestion (i) by eQuestion (ii) \(\frac{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{e}}}{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{m}}}=\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{e}}^2} \times \frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{m}}^2}{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{m}} \times \mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{e}}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{m}}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{e}}}\right)^2\)
∴ The mass of the earth is 100 times than that of moon, and radius is 4 times more
Me = 100 Mm and
Re = 4 Rm

By putting the value of Me and Re
\(\frac{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{e}}}{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{m}}}=\frac{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{e}}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{m}}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{e}}}\right)^2=\frac{100 \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{m}}} \times\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{m}}}{4 \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{m}}}\right)^2\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{e}}}{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{m}}}\) = 100 x \(\frac {1}{6}\)
= 6 approx.
Fe = 6 Fm
Thus, it is clear that the mass of the object on the moon will be m, but its weight on the earth is 6 times more in compare to moon.

Question 4.
Write the difference between:
(i) Gravitational force and force of gravity
(ii) Centre of mass and centre of gravity.
Answer:
(i) The difference between gravitational force and force of gravity is as follows:

Gravitational Force Force of Gravity:
1. The gravitational force is the force that arises between any two objects in the universe. 1. The force exerted between the earth and the object is called force of gravity.
2. The gravitational force exerted between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses. 2. The force of gravity is proportional to the masses of body.
3. The gravitational force exerted between the two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centres. 3. The force of gravity is proportional to the acceleration due to gravity (g).
Gravitational Force Force of Gravity:

(ii) Centre of mass and centre of gravity.
Suppose a giant body is made of many particles. Then it is possible for us to define that point where the whole of the mass of the body is concentrated. This point is called ‘centre of mass’. On the surface of earth or nearby it, where force of gravity is constant, centre of mass is only that point where the force of gravity on whole body can be experienced. In this state, the centre of mass is called centre of gravity.

Thus ‘centre of gravity’ of a body is that point, where the force of gravity is acting on the whole body as shown in fig. The centre of gravity of objects having regular size and uniform density lies on their geometrical centre. This can be balanced on a needle at the geometrical centre. For example, the centre of gravity of a spherical ball, or rectangular piece of wood or circular disc of metal is at their centre.

Practical Work

Experiment 1.
Describe an activity to understand the motion of moon from earth. Procedure:
(i) Take a piece of thread. Tie a small stone at one end.
(it) Hold the other end of the thread and whirl it round as shown in fig.
(iii) The direction of the motion of stone will be circular motion.
(iv) Now release the thread.
(v) Again, note the direction of motion of the stone.
Before the thread is released, the stone moves in a circular path with a certain speed and changes direction at every point. The change in direction involves change in velocity or acceleration. The force that cause this acceleration and keeps the body moving along the circular path is acting towards the centre. This force is called the centripetal force.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 10 Gravitation - 11

Experiment 2.
Explain an activity to understand the meaning of free fall of objects.

Procedure:
(i) Take a stone.
(ii) Throw it upwards.
(iii) It reaches a certain height and then it starts falling down.
We know that the earth attracts objects towards it. This is due to force of gravity. Whenever objects fall towards the earth under this force alone, we say that the objects are in free fall.

Experiment 3.
Prove with experiment that the gravitational force between two objects of general masses is weak.

Procedure:
Take a magnet. Take it near the iron pin kept near the piece of stone. You will see that the iron pin is not attracted towards piece of stone but towards the magnet. It proves that the gravitational force between stone and pin is very weak. So the iron pin is not attracted towards stone. In fact, the gravitational force between piece of stone and iron pin is very weak as compared to magnetic force. So the iron pin attracted towards magnet but not towards piece of stone. It is concluded that the gravitational force between two objects of general masses is weak.

Experiment 4.
Explain with an experiment that why iron sinks into the water while cork floats ?

Procedure:
(i) Take a beaker filled with water.
(ii) Take an iron nail and a cork of equal mass.
(iii) Place them on the surface of water.
(iv) You will observe that the cork floats and the nail sinks.
This is due to the difference in their densities. The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume. The density of cork is less than the density of water. This means that the up thrust of water on the cork is greater than the weight of the cork. So it floats.

Question 6.
What are the types of inertia ? Explain with example.
Answer:
Inertia is of two types:
1. Intertia of rest: The property of body by which the body resists its rest position until an external force is not applied on it.
Example: A book on table does not move due to inertia of rest.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion

2. Inertia of motion: The property of body by which it resists its state of motion, until an external force is not applied on it.
Example: A passenger sitting in a bus or cart falls forward when the moving bus or cart stops suddenly. In such situation, the lower portion of body of passenger comes in rest as the bus or cart stops, but the upper portion tries to remain in motion, due to this passenger falls forward. –

Question 7.
What happens when a wet cloth is jerked ? Clarify your explanation.
Answer:
When we jerk the wet cloth, the cloth displaced from its position to inertia and they detached from cloth and escape in environment. Thus, the cloth dries fast.

Question 8.
In javelin throw, if a player crosses the fixed line, he fouls, but the playes usually fail to stop on this line, why ?
Answer:
When in javelin throw competition, a player runs and reaches the fixed line, his whole body comes in motion. When he tries to stop his feet on fixed line, the upper portion remains in motion due to inertia of motion and the player crosses the fixed line and fouls.

Question 9.
Why the rider falls backward when the horse starts running suddenly?
Answer:
The rider falls backward when the horse starts running suddenly because due to suddenly running the horse, it comes in motion but the rider tries to remain in rest due to inertia of rest and falls backward.

Question 10.
Why the rider falls forward when a running horse stops suddenly?
Answer:
The rider falls forward when a running horse stops suddenly because the horse and rider are in motion when it is running and when horse
stops suddenly it comes in rest but the rider tries to remain in motion due to inertia of motion and falls forward.

Question 11.
Why are the tyres of vehicles made rough and treaded ?
Answer:
The movement of vehicles is due to the frictional force between road and tyres. If their tyres are smooth then the friction will be less betw een road and tyre, so that it will be difficult to control the vehicle. In order to control vehicles, the tyres are made rough and treaded so that the friction between tyre and road increases and grip of tyres with road will be firm.

Question 12.
Define and explain Newton’s first law of motion.
Answer:
Newton’s first law of motion:
An object continuous to be a state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This law is also known as “Galileo’s Law of Inertia.” e.g. a ball rolling on floor can move far due to less friction. If the friction reduces to zero by any mean, the ball will move with initial velocity for a certain time.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion

Question 13.
Prove that Newton’s first law of motion can be called the law of inertia.
Answer:
According to Newton’s first law of motion, an object continuous to be a state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. In other word, all objects oppose the change in their state of motion. This tendency of the objects to oppose the change in their state of motion is called inertia. Thus, Newton’s first law of motion is also called the law of inertia.

Question 14.
Prove that the mass of a body is the measure of its inertia.
Answer:
The quantity of matter in a body is its mass. In this way, the mass is the measure of inertia of body. A body having large mass has large inertia.

Explanation:
If we kick a football it moves so far. but if we kick a stone, it will not move and our foot gets wound, because in comparison of football, stone has larger capacity to oppose the change in motion due to its larger mass. The mass of a body is the measure of its inertia.Thus, the inertia of a stone is more.

Question 15.
Define and explain Newton’s second law of motion with the help of this law, obtain equation of force.
Answer:
Newton’s second law of motion : The force applied on a body is proportional to the product of its mass and acceleration. If we kick a ball, it will move quickly because its acceleration becomes more. In this way, a cricketer stops a moving ball slowly, so that the change in motion of ball takes much time. He moves his hands in the direction of ball and the acceleration of ball becomes less in comparison of initial and less force is required to stop the ball. Let us consider a body has mass m and a force F produces an acceleration a in it. According to Newton’s second law of motion,
F ∝ m x a
or F = K ma ………..(i)
here, K , is a constant, whose value depends upon the units of mass, force and acceleration.
Let m = 1 kg, a = 1 m s-2 and f = 1 N
then, putting the value of F, m and a in eQuestion (i)
1 = K x 1 x 1
or K = 1
F = 1 x ma
Force = Mass x Acceleration

Question 16.
Define and explain Newton’s third law of motion.
Answer:
Newton’s third law of motion:
To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction and they act on two different bodies. Action and reaction are equal and in opposite direction.

For example:
(i) A ball presses the earth with a force, the earth pushes the ball upwards with same force.
(ii) When a person swims, he pushes the water backward, he moves forward, by this reaction.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion

Question 17.
Explain why does cricket player pulls his hands backward while catching a fast moving cricket ball ?
Answer:
The momentum of moving ball is more. When player catches the ball, he pulls his hands backward so that momentum of ball takes some time to become zero. In this way, momentum of ball, rate of change and the force applied on hand will become less and there is no hurt on hands.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion - 4

Question 18.
Why larger force is required to stop a ship than car moving on road ?
Answer:
The frictional force between the tyres of car and road is more. Therefore the car stops quickly by applying lesser force. The frictional force between the surfaces of liquids is much less than the frictional force between the surfaces of solids. Due to this reason, the ship experiences less friction in water. Thus, larger force is required to stop a ship than car.

Question 19.
When there is negligible reaction between two bodies how the direction changes when two moving objects strike? Clarify with figure.
Answer:
When there is negligible reaction between two bodies, one body affects the other by force. The collision between two marbles is an example of negligible reaction. In figure two marbles are shown moving towards each-other. The direction of their motion is shown by arrow. It is clear from figure that the direction of marble changes after collision. Two forces act in this action. One is that which has accelerated one marble and second is that which has accelerated the other marble.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion - 5

Question 20.
What is meant by action and reaction ? What is the relation between them ? In which law of motion, these are described ?
Answer:
If a body applies some force on other, then it is the active force on other body. In response, the force which second body applied on first is the reactive force on first body. The relation between action and reaction : The force of action and reaction are equal and in opposite directions. An important fact is that the force of action and reaction always act on different bodies. These are described in third law of motion.

Question 21.
Give some examples of Newton’s third law of motion in daily life.
Answer:
Following are the examples of Newton’s third law of motion :
(i) The bullet moves forward when trigger is pressed and due to reaction force, the gun recoils backward.
(ii) The person pushes the water backward while swimming and moves forward due to tne reaction or
water.
(iii) When a person jumps from boat at river-shore, the boat displaced far from shore due to reaction of water on that.
(iv) We press the earth backward while walking and
due to force of reaction the earth pushes our feet forward and we move. .
(v) The ores push the water backward and due to reaction, the boat move forward.
(vi) When a player jumps up, he pushes the surface of earth downward, so that he gets reaction.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion - 6

Question 22.
Why the boat moves in opposite direction when a person jumps to shore from the boat ? Explain.
Answer:
A person applies force in upward to get the necessary motion at the time of jumping from boat. His reaction is on boat, which according to Newton’s third law of motion is in opposite direction. As a result of this, the boat move far on opposite direction.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion

Question 23.
Explain in brief, the relation between Newton’s first and second law of motion.
Answer:
The Newton’s first law of motion is the part of second law. It can be clarify on the basis of following fact:
According to second law of motion,
F = m a
if F = 0, then
m a = 0 m = 0,
a = 0
But mass, m cannot be zero, because it is a constant quantity. So, if acceleration a is zero, the change in velocity will also be zero. Therefore, there is no change in the position of body. If it is in rest, it will remain in rest, and if it is in motion, it will remain in motion unless external force is not applied. This is the statement of Newton’s first law of motion. Thus Netwon’s first law of motion is the part of second law.

Question 24.
What is the reason that a fast moving bullet makes a round hole in glass but on throwing the stone, the glass damages ?
Answer:
The size of bullet is small and that of stone is big so that the glass does not move when bullet is striked, only that part move where the bullet is striked and makes a hole, but there is no hole when stone is striked because whole glass moves and damaged.

Numerical Questions

Question 1.
Speed-time graph of a moving coin on table is shown in fig. . The weight of coin is 10 g.
How much force the table exerts to stop the coin?
Solution:
Here,
Initial velocity (u) = 24 ms-1
Final velocity (v) = 0 ms-1
Time (r) = 8 sec
Mass (m) = 10g = \(\frac {10}{1000}\) kg
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion - 7
We know that,
Acceleration (a) = \(\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-24}{8}\) = \(\frac {-24}{8}\) = -3 ms-2
∴ Force(F) = m.a
\(\left(\frac{10}{1000} \times-3\right)\) N
= – 0.03 N
(- ve sign shows that force decreases the motion.)

Question 2.
A cricket ball of mass 70g is moving with a velocity of 0.5 ms-1. A cricket player stops it in 0.5 s. Calculate the force applied by the player to stop
the ball.
Solution:
Mass of the ball (m) 70g =\(\frac {70}{1000}\)= 0.07 kg
Initial velocity of ball (u) = 0.5 ms-1
Final velocity of ball (v) = 0
The time taken to stop the ball, (t) = 0.5s
We know that, v = u + at
a = \(\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-0.5}{0.5}=\frac{-0.5}{0.5}\) = -1 ms-2
Thus, the force applied by the player to stop the ball
(F) = ma
= 0.07 x -1N = -0.07 N
(-ve sign shows that force is working against momentum.)

Question 3.
How much acceleration will be produced in the object ¡fa force of 200 N is applied on an object of 5 kg mass?
Solution: Here,
Mass(m) = 5kg
Force (F) = 200N
Acceleration (a) = ?
We know that, F = ma
a = \(\frac{F}{m}=\frac{200}{5}\) = 40 ms-2

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion

Question 4.
A constant force is working on an object of 5 kg mass for 2 seconds. It increases the velocity of object from 3ms1 to 7ms-1. Calculate the value of applied force. Now, what will be the final velocity if the force works for 5 seconds on object?
Solution:
Here,
Mass of object (m) = 5 kg
Initial velocity of object (u) = 3 ms-1
Final velocity of object (v) = 7 ms-1
Time (t) = 2s
Acceleration (a) = ?
We know that.
a = \(\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{7-3}{2}\)ms-2 = \(\frac {4}{2}\) = 2 ms-2
The force applied on object (F) = ma
= 5 x 2 = 10 N

In second stage,
Initial velocity of object (u) = 3 ms-1
Final velocity of object (v) = ?
Time (t) = 5s
Acceleration (a) = 2 ms-2
We know that,
v = u + a = 3 + 2 x 5 = 13 ms-1

Question 5.
How much force is required to stop a car of mass 1000 kg and a loaded truck of mass 10,000 kg moving both with a velocity of 5ms in 2 seconds?
Solution:
Here.
Initial velocity of both (u) = 5ms
Final velocity of both (v) = O
time (t) = 2 s
Acceleration (a) = ?
We know that, v = u + at
a = \(\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-5}{2}=\frac{-5}{2}\) = ms-1

Mass of the car (m1) = 1000 kg
Mass of the truck (m2) = 10,000 kg
The necessary force to stop the car (F1) = m1 a
= 1000 x \(\frac {-5}{2}\) N
= – 2500 N
Thus, necessary force to stop the car = – 2500 N
(-ve sign shows that force is working against momentum.)
In same way, the necessary force to stop the truck (F2) = m2 a
= 10000 x \(\frac {-5}{2}\)N
= – 25000 N
Therefore, the necessary force required to stop the truck is more than that of car.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion

Question 6.
Which will require more force – to accelerate a body of mass 2 kg with a rate of 5 ms-2 or to accelerate a both of mass 4kg with a rate of 2 m-2?
Solution:
Here,
m1 = 2kg
a1 = 5 ms-2
Force (F1) = m1a1 = 2 x 5 = 10 N
m2 = 4 kg
a2 = 2 ms-2
Force(F2) = m2a2 = 4 x 2 = 8N
In this way F1> F2
∴ Large force will required to accelerate the object of 2 kg mass with a velocity of 5 ms-2

Question 7.
A bullet of mass 20 g is horizontally fired with a velocity of 150 ms from a pistol of mass 2 kg. What is the recoil velocity of the pistol?
Solution:
Mass of bullet, m1 = 20 g ( = 0.02 kg)
Mass of pistol. m2 = 2 kg
The initial velocity of bullet (u1) and pistol (u2) is zero, respeciively.
That is u1 = u2 = 0
Final velocity of bullet, v1 = + 150 ms-1
The direction of bullet is taken + ve according to left to right system. Suppose, recoil velocity of pistol is v.
Total momentum of bullet and pistol before firing = (2 + 0.02) kg x o ms-1
= 0 kg ms-1
Total momentum after firing = 0.02 kg x (+ 150 ms-1) + 2 kg x v ms-1
= (3 + 2v)kg ms-1
According to the law of conservation of momentum,
Total momentum after firing = Total momentum before firing
3 + 2v = 0
2v = -3
v = \(\frac {-3}{2}\)
v = -1.5 ms-1
(-ve sign shows that the pistol recoils opposite to the direction of bullet i.e. right lo left.)

Solution:
Here,
Initial velocity (u) = 24 cm s
Final velocity (v) = 0
Acceleration (a) = – 3 cm s2
Time (t) = 8s
Distance (s) = ?
We know that, Distance (s) = ut + \(\frac {1}{2}\) at
= 24 x 8 + \(\frac {1}{2}\) x (-3) x (8)2
= 192 – 96
= 96 cm

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion

Question 9.
In which the more force will require-to produce an acceleration of 5 ms in mass 10 g or to produce an acceleration of 2 ms2 in mass 20 g?
Solution:
In first stage, Mass (m) = 10 g = \(\frac {10}{1000}\) kg
Acceleration (a) = 5 ms-2
The necessary force (F) = m x a
= \(\frac {10}{1000}\) x 5
= 0.05 N
In second stage, Mass (m) = 20 g = \(\frac {20}{1000}\) kg
Acceleration (a) = 2 ms-2
The necessary force (F) = m x a = \(\frac {20}{1000}\) x 2 = 0.04N
Thus, larger force will be required to produce an acceleration of 5 ms2 in an object of mass 10 g. Answer:

Question 10.
A bullet of mass 20 g moving with a velocity of 16 ms-1 enters ¡n a sand bag and comes in rest after 0.05 s. Find,
(a) depth of penetration ¡n sand
(b) the average resistive force applied by sand.
Solution:
Here,
(a) Initial velocity (u) = 16 ms-1
Final velocity (v) = 0
Time (t) = 0.05 s
Distance (s) = ?
Average resistive force (F) = ?

We know that,
Acceleration (a) = \(\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-16}{0.05}\) = 0.05
= \(\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-16}{0.05}\)
= \(\frac{-16 \times 100}{5}\) = – 320 ms-2
s = ut + \(\frac {1}{2}\) at2
= 16 x 0.05 + \(\frac {1}{2}\) x (-320) x (0.05)2
or s = 0.8 – 0.4 = 0.4m
(b) Mass (m) = 20 g = \(\frac {20}{1000}\) kg
Average resistive force (F) = m x a = \(\frac {20}{1000}\) x -320 = -6.4 N

Question 11.
How much will be the change in momentum of an object of mass 5kg, If Its speed:
(i) reduces from 20 ms-1 to 0.20 ms-1
(ii) Increases from 30 ms1 to 40 ms-1.
Solution:
Here,
Mass of the body (m) = 5kg
Initial velocity (u) = 20 ms1
Final velocity (v) = 0.20 ms1
Initial momentum (p1) = m x u = 5 x 20 = 100 kg ms-1
Final momentum (P2) = m x v = 5 x 0.20 = 1.00 kg ms-1
Thus, decrease in momentum = p1 – p2 = 100 – 1 = 99 kg ms-1
Initial velocity (u) = 30 ms1
Final velocity (v) = 40 ms1
initial momentum (p1) = m x v = 5 x 30 = 150 kg ms-1
Final momentum (p2) = m x v = 5 x 40 = 200 kg ms-1
Thus, increase in momentum = 200 – 150 = 50 kg ms-1

Question 12.
A driver accelerates a car In first stage with 1.8 ms-2 and in second stage with 1.2 ms-2 acceleration. Find the ratio of forces applied by engine in both stages.
Solution:
Let,
The mass of car = m kg
Acceleration in first stage = (a1) = 1.8 ms-2
∴Force in first stage (F1) = m x a1 = m x 1.8m = 1.8 m N
Acceleration in second stage (a2) = 1.2 ms-2
∴Force in first stage (F2) = m x a2 = m x 1.2 = 1.2m N
\(\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{1.8 \mathrm{~m}}{1.2 \mathrm{~m}}=\frac{18}{12}=\frac{3}{2}\)
F1:F2 = 3:2

Question 13.
On applying a force for 1.2 s on an object, its speed increases from 1.8 ms-1 to 4.2 ms-1. The same force is applied for 2 s again. How much change in speed will be in 2s?
Solution:
Initial velocity in first stage (u) = 1.8 ms-1
Final velocity (v) = 4.2 ms-1
Time (t) = 1.2 s
According to formula, v = u + at
or u + at = v
1.8 + a x 1.2 = 4.2
or 1.2a = 4.2 – 1.8
or 1.2a = 2.4
or a = \(\frac {2.4}{1.2}\) = 2 ms-1
∴ Acceleration = 2 ms-2
initial velocity in second stage (u) = 4.2 ms
Time (t) = 2s
Acceleration (a) = 2 ms2
Final velocity (v) = u + at = 4.2 + 2 x 2 = v = 4.2 + 4 = v = 8.2 ms-1
Thus, change in speed in 2s = 8.2 – 4.2 = 4 ms-1

Question 1.
How Galileo proved that the object will move with a ceaseless speed if a balanced force is not applied on that object?
Answer:
On the basis of experiments written ahead, Galileo first of all told that the object will move with a ceaseless speed if a balanced force is not applied on that object. Galileo studied the motion of objects on a double inclined plane. He observed that velocity of a body increases when it rolls down the inclined plane and decreases when it climbs upon as shown in fig.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion - 10
Thus, he concluded that if the body moves on smooth plane then its speed neither increases nor decreases but its speed will remain ceaseless.
Now, he imagine that if a ball is allowed to go down by touching a hollow semi-spherical surface, it will reach the same height to which it was dropped. He concluded on the basis of motion of bob pendulum because the bob of pendulum attains that height from where it started moving. Semi-spherical surface works the same which thread does in pendulum.

After that he told that the shape of pot is taken as showm in fig., then the ball or object reaches the same height in this situation also. Yet, it has to cover large distance to do so.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion - 12
Now, if the slope on the other side of pot is decreased, the ball covers the more distance to reach that height. In this way he concluded that if the slope is decreasing to one side of pot, the ball will cover the large distance. If there is no slope the surface becomes plane the ball will cover infinite distance and move with constant velocity.

Question 2.
What is the momentum of body ? Establish a relation between the momentum and force of a moving body.
Answer:
Momentum: The momentum of body is the product of its mass (m) and velocity (v). It is denoted by ‘p’
Momentum = Mass x Velocity
or p = mv
We know that a body accelerates if some force is applied to it. According to Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration produced in a body depends upon the force applied on that. If by applying a force, ‘F’ on a body of mass m, produces an acceleration of ‘a’ then according to second law of motion
F = ma
a = \(\frac {F}{m}\) ………….(1)
Suppose, Initial velocity of body = v1ms-1
After time (t) the final velocity = v2 ms-1
Then a = \(\frac{v_2-v_1}{t}\)
From eqs. (i) and (ii) is
\(\frac{F}{m}=\frac{v_2-v_1}{t}\)
F = \(\frac{m\left(v_2-v_1\right)}{t}\)
F = \(\frac{m v_2-m v_1}{t}\)
But mv1 = p1 (Initial momentum)
and mv2 = P2 (Final momentum)
F = \(\frac{p_2-p_1}{t}\)
F = rate of chance of momentum.
Thus, the force applied on a body is equal to the change in momentum in unit time.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion

Question 3.
What do you understand by conservation of momentum ? Prove the law of conservation of momentum in mathematical way.
Answer:
Conservation Law of Momentum : According to this law, the total momentum of a group of objects remains constant until it is not act upon by external force.
Activity: To prove this law, suppose two objects A and B of mass m1 and m2 are moving with velocities u1 and u2 respectively. Let both react with each other till time t. After action, their velocities become v1 arid v2as
shown in fig.
if any external force does not act, then the rate of change in momentum of object A is m1 \(\frac{\left(v_1-u_1\right)}{t}\) In the same way the rate of change in momentum of object B is m2 \(\frac{\left(v_2-u_2\right)}{t}\) If a force F1 is exerted on A by B and F2 on B by A, then according to Newton’s second law of motion,

F1 = m1\(\frac{\left(v_1-u_1\right)}{t}\) ………….(1)
and F2 = m2\(\frac{\left(v_2-u_2\right)}{t}\) ………….(2)
According to Newton’s third law of motion, F1 and F2 act equally and ¡n opposite direction.
F1 = -F2 ………….(3)
From eqs. (1), (2) and (3), is
m1 = \(\frac{\left(v_1-u_1\right)}{t}\) = m2
or m1(v1 – u1) = m2 (v2 – u2)
or m1v1 – m2u1 = m2v2 + m2u2
or m1v1 + m2v2 = m1u1 + m2u2
or m1 u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2 ………(4)
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion - 13

Thus, total momentum before collision m1u1 + m2 u2 is equal to total momentum after collision m2v2 . This is the law of conservation of momentum.

Question 4.
What is meant by friction ? Prove that it is a boon as well as curse.
Answer:
Friction: The opposing force that comes into play when a body moves on another surface or through a fluid (liquid or gas) is called friction.
Friction as a boon: The friction is a necessary evil because nothing is possible without it, that is:
(i) We cannot move if there is no friction between road and feet.
(ii) The vehicles cannot move if there is no friction between road and tyres.
(iii) The nail can be insisted in wall only due to friction.
(iv) Only due to friction, the match stick burns.
(v) It is possible to write on blackboard due to friction between chalk and blackboard.
(vi) Due to friction, we can write on copy.
(vii) The vehicles can be stopped only by friction.
(viii) The belts related to electric motors can move on wheels due to friction.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion

Friction as a curse: Besides a necessary evil, friction is harmful to us as:
(i) Due to friction the parts of machine get bear and tear.
(ii) Due to friction, the efficiency of machines is not 100%.
(iii) More energy is spent due to friction.
(iv) Due to friction, our shoes tear.
(v) Due to friction, the tyres of vehicles reduces.

Question 5.
Write the methods of reducing friction. Explain any one out of them.
Answer:
Methods of Reducing Friction : Friction can he reduced by following methods:
(i) The frictional force can be reduced by planing the depresions on the surface of body
(ii) Oil or lubricant educes the friction between two surfaces. Due to this the oil is put in the part machines and the friction can be reduced.
(iii) The mixture of water and soap can minimise the friction between two surfaces.
(iv) The friction can be minimize by using ball-bearings.
(v) When we sprinkle powder on a carom board, the powder tills up the depressions and the coin
(vi) In order to reduce friction, special shape is given to vehicles.
(vii) By polishing two surfaces and by putting coaltar on roads, the friction can be reduced.

To reduce the friction by using ball-bearIng : Ball-bearings are used in machines to reduce friction. Small balls are there in ball-bearings which are kept between the sliding surfaces of machines. You will have seen them in the wheels of cycle. These reduces the friction which save energy and work.

Practical Work ‘ .

Activity I.
Two activities to show the effect of force which proves that the force can change the size of body.

Procedure:
(i) Take a spring and pull it towards outside by holding its two ends. You, will see the size of spring increase, which shows the force applied on spring by us. It proves that the force can change the size of body.
(ii) Take a spherical rubber ball and press it between your palms. You will see that on pressing, the size of ball becomes some long. It proves that the force can change the size of body.

Activity 2.
Perform on activity to show that a body starts moving only when the force applied by us is more than frictional force.

Procedure:
Take a box and tell to children to push it. You will see that the box does not move if they apply less force, because the frictional force between the lower surface of box and rough surface of floor balances the force applied to push and due to this the box does not move. The children push the box with large force, but box does not move. This is because of that the friction force is still balances the pushing force. If the children push the box with much more force, then pushing force will become more than frictional force. Here, the unbalanced force is working and the box is moving. It proves that if the force applied by us is more than frictional force, the body moves.

Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
What is the difference between rest and motion ?
Answer:
When a body does not change its position with respect to its surroundings, it is called rest, e.g. a book lying on the table, a stone lying on the floor, etc. When the position of the body continuously changes with respect to its surroundings, it is called motion, e.g. a moving car, a running horse, etc.

Question 2.
What is meant by displacement ? When it is positive and negative ?
Answer:
The change in the position of body in a certain direction is called displacement.
The position of a body changes from x1 to x2, then the displacement (d) can be written as:
d = (x2 – x1)
The +ve and -ve signs of displacement shows the direction of change in position of body. If displacement is +ve, then body moves from left to right. If the displacement is -ve, then body moves from right to left. It is a vector quantity.

Answer:
To draw a velocity-time graph of a car moving with constant velocity’ of 40 kmh-1. It means, car covers a distance of 40 km in an hour, 80 km in two hours, 120 km in 3 hours and so on, it can be seen from figure, that velocity-time graph is a straight line and parallel to time axis. It is true for all velocity-time graphs when motion is uniform.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 8 Motion - 20

Question 14.
How we can calculate the distance covered by a body in a given time by using velocity¬time graph ?
Answer:
Suppose the velocity-time graph of a car moving with speed of 40 kmh-1 is as the given figure. Let us consider, we have to calculate the distance covered by the car between time and t2. Draw perpendiculars from points t1 and t2 on time axis as shown in figure.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 8 Motion - 21
By this, we obtain a rectangle ABCD between graph and X-axis. In this rectangle side AD is equal to BC, which is equal to (t2 -t1), and side AB is equal to CD, which is similar to 40 kmh-1. We know that, if a body moving with velocity (v) covers a distance (.s’) in time (?) then,
s = vt
∴ Distance covered by the car in time (t2 – t1) = [(40 kmh-1) (t2 – t1)h]
= 40(t2 – t1) km
= Area of rectangle ABCD or the area under velocity-time graph shows the distance covered by the car. This is true for any velocity-time graph, whether velocity is uniform or non-uniform,

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 8 Motion

Question 15.
How velocity is calculated by straight-lined distance-time graph ? Explain.
Answer:
We can calculate the velocity of a car from its distance-time graph. In fig., think about the smaller part AB of distance-time graph of motion of car. We draw a straight-line from point A parallel to X-axis and from point B parallel to Y-axis to find the velocity of car. These two straight lines meet at a point C and make a AABC. Now, on graph, AC represents time-interval (t2 – t1), and BC is equal to distance (s2 – s1). It can be seen from the graph that when car move from point A to B, it covers a distance (s2 – s1) in time (t2 – t1)
Velocity of car = \(\frac{s_2-s_1}{t_2-t_1}\)

Question 16.
Show uniformly accelerated motion, non-uniformly accelerated motion and uniform retarded motion by graph.
Answer:
1. Uniformly Accelerated Motion: In uniformly-accelerated motion, speed-time graph is a straight a line.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 8 Motion - 23
2. Non-uniformly Accelerated Motion: In non-uniformly accelerated motion, speed-time graph is a
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 8 Motion - 24
3. Uniformly Retarded Motion: In uniformly retardation, the acceleration is negative (-ve) and velocity time graph is a straight line.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 8 Motion - 25

Question 17.
Draw speed-time graph for a body, moving in a straight line. What the slope of this straight line show ?
Answer:
If there is equal change in the velocity of a body in equal intervals of time, then we can say that the body is moving with uniform acceleration. The speed-time graph for a body moving in a straight-line is shown in figure. If the speed of the body is v1 at time t1 and v2 at time t2, then
acceleration of the body, a = \(\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}\)

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 8 Motion

The time intervals (t2 – t1) and (t4 -t3) are equal as shown in figure, because the change in heights of speed are also equal. Therefore, this graph shows the motion of such a body, which is moving with uniform acceleration.
The speed-time graph of a body moving with uniform acceleration is a straight line. The acceleration of such body is the slope of this straight line.

Question 18.
How you will prove that the motion is relative ?
Answer:
In order to prove that the motion is relative, we can compare the passengers sitting in a moving bus or train with road or trees standing near the track, vehicle or persons, e.g. the passengers sitting inside the bus . or train are in rest as compared to the luggage lying inside, but are in motion as compared to outsided objects.

Question 19.
Write the difference between-
(i) vector and scalar.
(ii) uniform and non-uniform motion.
(iii) distance and displacement.
Answer:
The difference between vector and scalar:
Vector:
1. Those physical quantities which contains both direction and magnitude are known as vector quantities, e.g. velocity, displacement, force, etc.
2. Vector quantities are combined according to rule of triangle or parallelogram.
3. Vector quantities are represented by a straight line with an arrow head over it.

Scalar:
1. Those physical quantities which contain magnitude only is known as scalar quantities, e.g. distance, volume, mass, etc.
2. Scalar quantities can be combined algebraically.
3. There is no special method to represent scalar quantities.

(ii) The difference between uniform and non-uniform motion :
Uniform Motion:
When a body covers equal distance in equal intervals of time, its motion is called uniform motion, e.g. motion of earth, motion of pendulum of watch, the motion of moon around the earth.

Non-uniform Motion:
When a body covers unequal distance in equal intervals of time, its motion is called non¬uniform motion, e.g. motion of train starting from station, the motion of bus starting from bus stop, motion of cycle.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 8 Motion

(iii) The difference between distance and displacement:

Distance:
1. The length of the path actually covered by the body is called distance.
2. It is a scalar quantity.
3. The distance between two points through different paths can be different.

Displacement:
1. The distance between the initial and final positions of the body is called displacement.
2. It is a vector quantity.
3. The value of the displacement between any two points is always same.

Question 20.
What is meant by uniform circular motion ? Justify your answer with example.
Answer:
When a body moves on circular track, it changes its direction at every point. Actually, circle is a polygon figure which has infinite sides. In figure any circular shaped track can be called a polygon of inner-sides. Therefore, a body moving in a circle with uniform speed is an example of accelerated motion. Although, there is no change in the speed of the body, but the direction of the motion of body is continuously changes. Example – Take a piece of thread and tie one stone on its one end and rotate it, it will be in a circular motion.

Solution:
The car started from rest
∴ Initial velocity (u) = O
Final velocity (v) = 36 kmh-1 = 36 x \(\frac {5}{18}\) = 10 ms-1
Time (t) = 10 s
We know that. v = u + at
10 = 0 + a x 10
10 = 10 a
a = \(\frac {10}{10}\) = 1 ms-1

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 8 Motion

Question 5.
A cycle moving with a velocity of 3 metre per second increase its motion with acceleration of 0.5 ms2 . What will be Its velocity after 5 seconds and how much distance it will cover ¡n this time?
Solution:
Here, Initial velocity (u) = 3 ms
Acceleration (a) = 0.5 ms2
Time (t) = 5 s
Final velocity (v) = ?
Distance (s) = ?
We know that,
v = u + at = 3 + 0.5 x 5 = 3 + 2.5 = 5.5 ms-1

(2) s = ut+ \(\frac {1}{2}\) at2
= 3 x 5 + \(\frac {1}{2}\) x 0.5 x 5 x 5
15 + 6.25 = 21.25 m

Question 6.
The uniform acceleration of a scooter is 4 ms2. How much distance will scooter cover after 10 seconds from its movement ? What will be its velocity after 10 s?
Solution:
Here,
Initial velocity of scooter (u) = 0
Acceleration (a) = 4 ms
Time (t) = 10 s
Distance (s) = ?
Final velocity (y) = ?
We know that
(1) s = ut + \(\frac {1}{2}\) at2
s = 0 x 10 + \(\frac {1}{2}\) x 4 x (10)2
s = 0 + \(\frac {1}{2}\) x 4 x 100 = 200m
(2) v = u + at = 0 + 4 x 10 = 40 ms-1

Question 7.
A bicycle is travelling at a speed of 10 ms. The brakes are applied so as to produce a retardation of 0.5 ms2. Find, how far the bicycle travel before it is brought to rest?
Solution:
Initial velocity of bicycle (u) = 10 ms-1
Final velocity (v) = 0
Retardation (a) = 0.5 ms-2
We know that, v2 – u2 = 2as
(0)2 – (10)2 = 2(- 0.5) x s
– 100 = – 1s
s = 100 m

Question 8.
A car travels with uniform velocity 20 ms’ for 5 s. On applying brakes, the car comes to rest in 8s with uniform retardation. Draw, velocity-time graph. How far, the car will go after applying brakes?

Question 10.
Write the speed of following bodies in descending order –
(i) Bicycle running with a speed of 18 kmh-1.
(ii) An athlete running with a speed of 7 ms-1.
(iii)A car running with a speed of 2000 m min-1
Solution:
We know that,
(i) 18 kmh-1 = \(\frac {18000}{3600}\) ms-1 = 5 ms-1
(ii) 7 ms-1
(iii) 2000 m min-1 = \(\frac {2000}{60}\) ms-1 = 33.33 ms-1
∴ The descending order of speed of bodies is as follows:
(i) A car running with a speed of 2000 m min-1.
(ii) An athlete running with a speed of 7 ms-1.
(iii) A bicycle running with a speed of 18 kmh-1.

Question 11.
A body moves with velocity of 2 ms-1 for 5 seconds, in next 5 seconds, its velocity increases to 10 ms-1 due to uniform acceleration. After that, its velocity decreases uniformly and comes in rest in 10 seconds, then
(a) draw velocity-time and distance-time graphs for the motion of the body.
(b) Show that portion in graph, where the motion is uniform and non-uniform.
(c) From graph, find the distance covered by the body after 2s and 12s and in the last lOs.
Answer:
(a) Velocity-time graph: The velocity of the body is 2 ms for first 5 seconds, which is marked
by AB in the graph. After that, it becomes 10 mst in another 5 seconds (between 5 and 10 s), which is marked
by BC in the graph. After that the body comes in rest in next 10 seconds, which is marked by CD in the graph.

(b) Distance-time graph: Because the speed of the body is not uniform. Therefore, distance-time graph is not a straight-line
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 8 Motion - 32
From velocity-time graph, we find that the motion of the body is uniform in AB part, whereas the motion is non-uniform in BC and CD parts.
(c) (1)The distance covered by the body in 2s = 2 x 2 = 4 m.
(2) The distance covered by the body in 12 s = area of [OB’BA + BBC’C + CC’FF’]
Now, the area of rectangle OBBA = 2 x 5 = 10
Area of trapezium BB’C’C = \(\frac {1}{2}\) x (BB’ + CC’) x B’C
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) (2 + 10) x 5
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) x 12 x 5 = 30
Area of trapezium CC’FF’ = 4- (CC’ + FF’) x CF’
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) x (10 + 8) x 2 = \(\frac {1}{2}\) x 18 x 2 = 18
∴ The distance covered by the body in 12 sec 10 + 30 + 18 = 58 metres

(3) Distance covered in last lO seconds area of (trap. CC’ F’F + right-angle ∆FF’D
Now, area of trapezium CC’F’F = x (CC + FF’) x C’F’
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) x (10 + 8) x 2
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) x 18 x 2 = 18

Area of right-angle ∆FF’D = \(\frac {1}{2}\) x F’D x F’F = \(\frac {1}{2}\) x 8 x 8 = 32
∴ Distance covered in last 10 seconds = 18 + 32 = 50 metres.

Essay Type Question

Question 1
Prove the following equations:
(i) v = u + at2
(ii) s = ut + ut2
(iii) v2 – u2 = 2as
Solution:
(i) Let the initial velocity of the body = u
Time = t
Final velocity = v
Change in velocity = v – u
Rate of change in velocity (acceleration), a = \(\frac {v – u}{t}\)
at = v – u
at+u = v
v = u + at
Let the initial velocity of the body = u
Acceleration = a
and after time t, final velocity = v
1f after t sec, the distance is s, then distance (s) = average velocity x time
But, average velocity = \(\frac {v – u}{t}\)
∴Distance (s) = \(\frac {v – u}{t}\)
s = \(\frac {v – u}{2}\) x t
s = \(\frac {u + u + at}{2}\) x t [∴v = u + at]
s = \(\frac {2u + 2t}{2}\) x t
s = \(\left(\frac{2 u t+a t^2}{2}\right)=\frac{2 u t}{2}+\frac{a t^2}{2}\)
s = ut + \(\frac {1}{2}\) at2

(iii) We know that, v = u + at
Squaring both sides
(v)2 = (u + at)2
v2 = u2 + a2t2 + 2uat
v2 – u2 = a2t2 + 2uaI
v2– u2 = 2uat + a2t2

v2– u2 = 2a(ut + \(\frac {1}{2}\) at2)
v2– u2 = 2as

Experiment 2:
Clarify with an activity that direction of motion changes at every point on circular track

Procedure:
Take a piece of thread and tie a small piece of stone at one of its ends, move the stone to describe a circular path with constant speed by holding the thread at the other end as shown in figure. Now, let the stone go by releasing with thread and measure the direction of stone.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 8 Motion

By repeating the activity for a few times and releasing the stone at different positions of circular path, check whether the direction in which the stone moves remains the same or not If you carefully note, on being released the stone moves along a straight line tangential to the circular path. This is because once the stone is’ released, it continues to move along the direction it has been moving at that instant. This shows that the direction of mot ion changes at every point when the stone was moving along the circular path.

Short-Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
What is the science of Taxonomy and Classification ?
Answer:
Taxonomy:
The branch of biology in which organisms are classified is called Taxonomy. First of all D. Candolli used this word Taxonomy involves identification, nomenclature and classification of organisms.

Classification:
It arranges the organisms in groups or set on the basis of their relations. Animals and plants are ranked in different categories as follow: Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species. First of all, Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) gave idea about it in his book ‘Systema Naturae Therefore, Carolus Linnaeus is known as father of Taxonomy.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 7 Diversity in Living Organisms

Question 2.
Why is it necessary to classify the living organisms ? Explain in your own words.
Answer:
The number of organisms in the world is very large. These organisms possess some similarities and some dissimilarties. The structure of some organisms is simple and that of others is complex. The organisms differ in their structure, nature, life-cycle, nutrition, respiration and reproduction, etc. Therefore, so as to make their study convenient, their classification is essential. The organisms are classified on the basis of similarities and dissimilarities. The science of classifiation provides a base for other branches of biology.

Question 3.
What is classification ? Explain its importance.
Answer:
Grouping organisms on the basis of similarities, dissimilarities and their inter-relationships is called classification.

Importance:
(1) Classification gives a base to the other branches of biology.
(2) Classification makes the study of organisms easy and convenient.
(3) Classification provides a clear picture of organisms.
(4) It provides information about inter-relationship of organisms.
(5) The study of geography is completely based on classification of plants and animals.
(6) The classification of organisms also contributes to the development of knowledge in other subjects.
(7) The branches of biology like ecology, cell biology, etc. have developed due to science of classification.

Question 4.
What is binomial nomenclature ? Explain with an example.
Answer:
Binomial Nomenclature: This system of nomenclature was given by Carolus Linnaeus. According to this system 4200 species of animals were named and were published in a book ‘SystemaNaturae’in 1758. In this system each plant or animal is given two names : The first name indicates the genera and is known as generic name whereas the second name indicates the specific name or species. Linnaeus is known as the father of Taxonomy.

For Example:
the scientific name of mango is Mangifere indica, that of mustard is Brassica compestris and that of man is Homo sapiens.
In all these the first name is generic name and the second name is that of species. All these names are universal and are used throughout the world.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 7 Diversity in Living Organisms

Question 5.
What are the salient features of two kingdom system of classification ? Why are bacteria and fungi classified along with plants ?
Answer:
The living organisms are generally classified into two kingdoms : kingdom Animalia and kingdom Plantae. In both these kingdoms the characteristic features of organisms are same but they still differ in some characters. The organisms belonging to kingdom animalia are motile and cannot prepare their own food as they lack chlorophyll.

On the other hand the organisms belonging to kingdom plantae are (generally) autotrophs and prepare their own food. They are non-motile and remain confined to the same place. Their cell wall is made up of cellulose. They contain chlorophyll and are green. Bacteria and fungi do not contain green coloured pigment called chlorophyll, so they are not autotrophs. These obtain food/nourishment from dead or living organisms.

Still they are classified along with plants (kingdom Plantae) because:
(1) Their cell wall is made up of cellulose.
(2) They obtain their food/nourishment in soluble form.

Question 6.
Describe the different categories of classification ?
Answer:
Categories of the classification are the following:

Question 7.
What is Cryptogamae and Phanerogamae ?
Answer:
1. Cryptogamae: They are lowest group of plants. They lack flowers and seeds plants. They have bidden reproductive sex orgAnswer: Asexual reproduction takes place by the formation of spores.

2. Phanerogamae: They are highest group of plants. They bear roots, stem, leaves, flower, fruit and ’ seeds. They reproduce sexually by means of seeds. The seed contains embryo and nourishing material.

Question 8.
How is cryptogamae classified ?
Answer:
They are flowerless plants. Reproductive organs are hidden in them. There is no external flower and seed consists in them. According to classification, by Lindale and Eichler, cryptogamae is divided into three main groups:
(i) Thallophyta; e.g. Ulothrix, Penicillium, Lichens, etc.
(ii) Bryophyta; e.g. Funaria, Marchantia, etc.
(iii) Pteridophyta; e.g. Ferns, Selaginella, etc.

Question 9.
What is the difference between monocot and dicot plants ?
Answer:
These are the following differences between monocot and dicot plants :
Monocots:
1. Seeds with one cotyledon.

Essay Type Questions

Question 1.
What is called a tissue ? How many types of plant cells are there ? Describe meristematic tissues.
Answer:
Tissue:
A group of several cells that have common origin, structure and function is called a tissue. In plants there are two types of tissues.
(i) Meristematic tissues
(ii) Permanent tissues.

Meristematic Tissue:
In these tissues, division of cells takes places continuously and these cells that have the ability to divide, they keep on reproducing newly cells. Meristematic tissues are found only in those parts that participate in the growth process like tip of the shoot-root, and cambium. Due to these tissues, the length and thickness of the plants get increased.

On the basis of origination, meristematic tissues are of two types:
(i) Primary meristematic tissues.
(ii) Secondary meristematic tissues.

On the basis of position meristematic tissues are of three types:
(a) Apical meristem: They are found at the tip of the root, stem and branches; They are also of three types:
(1) Epidermis: These tissues buiid up the outer skin of the plant.
(2) Cortex: These tissues buiid up the filling up system.
(3) Hypodermis: These tissues make transport tissues, phioem and xylem,
(b) Intercalary meristem: This tissue is found in the stem of monocotyledones. Due to activity of this tissue plant grow up in height.
(c) Lateral meristem: This tissue is found in the stems and root of dicotyledones.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 6 Tissues

Question 2.
How many types of simple tissue of plant are there ? Explain them.
Answer:
Simple tissue When the meristematic tissues totally lose the ability of division, then they transform into permanent tissues. Permanent tissues are of two types: Simple tissues and complex tissues. Simple tissues are formed of only one type of same structural cells. Their function is also same. On the basis of structure these tissues are of three types:

(i) Parenchyma:
These tissues are found in the shoot system (stem, leaves and flower) and root in plants. In the green part of the plant their number used to be more. These cells can be round, elongated or polygonal shape. These are living cells. Their cell wall is thin and is made up of cellulose. These cells contain dense protoplasm. The main functions of these tissues are storage of food, assimilation, provide strength, storing of resin tanin and gum and many times preparing food too.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 6 Tissues - 11

(ii) Collenchyma:
These cells too are living. These are multiarmed, oval and rounded shaped. Their cell wall is thin, but at the corners of the cell due to deposition of cellulose and pectin they get hard or stout. In these cells generally there are some chloroplasts. This tissue brings flexibility and strength in plants and prepare glucose and starch due to presence of chloroplast in it.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 6 Tissues - 12

(iii) Sclerenchyma:
These cells are elongated in size and thin but are equipped with lignin. These are dead cells and are attached together. These cells are pointed at both ends. There is a clear mid lamella between adjacent ceils. Cells consist of askewed regions that are called as pit canals. The cells provide strength to the parts of plant.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 6 Tissues - 13

Question 3.
What is called as complex tissues ? What are their types in plants ? Explain each of them.
Answer:
Complex Tissue:
Complex tissue is a group of more than one type of cells which perform a special function. Complex tissue is of two types :
(1) Xylem: Xylem is a transport tissue. It transports water and dissolved mineral salts from root to the shoot-system. All the cells of this tissue are dead, thick walled and lignified. This tissue is formed of with the combination of four cells.
(i) Trachieds
(ii) vessels
(iii) xylem or wood-parenchyma
(iv) xylem fibres.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 6 Tissues

(2) Phloem:
It is a living transport tissue. Starch prepared due to photosynthesis process is transported to different parts of the plant by it. This tissue is also formed of with the combination of four components :
(i) Sieve tubes
(ii) companion cells
(iii) phloem parenchyma
(iv) phloem fibres.
Out of these sieve tubes are significant. These sieve tubes consist of porous wall that send food from the leaves to different parts of the plant.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 6 Tissues - 14

Question 4.
What is called as nervous tissue ? How many types does it have ?
Or
Define the neuron with diagram.
Answer:
Nerve cells (neurons): It is a specialised elongated cell which is the basic unit of conduction of impulses Tn this cell there a nucleus surrounded with cytoplasm. Many small branches project out of cytoplasm, which are called as dendrites. One of these branches is the longest one which is called as Axon. Axon carries the impulses away from cells. One nerve cell does not directly join with the another neuron. They have some empty space between them in which there is a very closed transportation. It is called as synapses.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 6 Tissues

If we have pain in our hand, this information gets collected by the dentrites of the sensory neuron located in the hand. The sensory neuron converts it into electric signal. This signal is transmitted by the motor neurons and passing through synapse reaches the brain. The brain on receiving the impulse reacts to that. The motor nerve carries this reaction to the muscles of the hand and thus, the muscles of the hand make suitable reaction.

Thus, nerve cells (neurons) are of three types:
1. Sensory nerve cells (neurons): They carry sensations in different parts of the body towards brain.
2. Motor neurons: These receive message from the brain and further send it to the muscles.
3. Multipolar neurons: They does both the functions they carry sensations towards brain and further carry the commands of brain towards the muscles.

(A) Plasma: This is a substance in the blood which is light yellow in colour. It contains 90% of water. The remaining salts, glucose, amino acid, protein, hormone, oxygen, carbon dioxide gas and certain digested undigested food materials are also found in it.

Function: It consists of fibrin named protein, that helps in coagulation or clotting of blood. It also consists anti bodies which destroy foreign bodies harmful bacteria etc.

(B) Blood corpuscles (Blood cells): There are three types of corpuscles found in blood which are described as ahead:
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 6 Tissues - 16

(a) Red Blood Corpuscles or Erythrocytes: These are round in shape. Each red corpuscle has the life time of nearly four months. They have a substance namely haemoglobin in them which provides red colour to blood. They are round in shape, flat and small in size. They have no nucleus in them. They have the largest number (50 lakh oer cubic milliletre).

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 6 Tissues

Functions:
(i) Red blood corpuscles provide red colour to the blood.
(ii) Their haemoglobin distributes oxygen throughout the body. On receiving oxygen these corpuscles i become oxy-haemoglobin.

(b) White Blood corpuscles or Leucocytes : The number of white blood corpuscles is lesser than red blood corpuscles, but they are bigger in size than them. They are white in colour, since they have no haemoglobin in them. Therefore they do not have a definite shape. They also have nucleus. They are of five types.
Function: They kill the harmful bacteria in the body and gobble them up. Thus, they protect us from diseases.

(c) Thrombocytes or Platelets: They are thick in the centre and thin at the ends. They are very small. They also have nucleus.
Function: They help in coagulation of blood. When in case of injury, blood oozes out from the wound, these platelets gather around the injury and by a chemical action clot there, so that there might not be any more bleeding.

Practical Work

Experiment-1:
Observing the structure of stem by cutting it in a transverse section (T.S.).

2. Eukaryotic cells: Eu means continuous and karyon means nucleus. These cells have a well-defined nucleus which is enclosed by a nuclear membrane. More than one chromosomes are present in these cells, like plant and animal cells.

Question 23.
Define the following :
Protoplasm, cytoplasm, nucleoplasm.
Answer:
(i) Protoplasm : All the substances present inside the cell membrane constitute protoplasm. Protoplasm is the very basis of life. It performs all the activities of life.
It has two parts:
(a) Nucleus
(b) Cytoplasm.

(ii) Cytoplasm : Apart from the nucleus, the remaining part of the protoplasm is called cytoplasm. It contains living as well as non-living material. Many cell organelles are present in the cytoplasm i.e. Mitochondria, ribosomes, Golgibodies, lysosomes, vacuoler, endoplasmic reticulum etc.

(iii) Nucleoplasm : It is found inside the nucleus in which proteins, nucleolus, enzymes and chromosomes are present.

Question 24.
Write a note on Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.) Or White down the functions of Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.).
Answer:
Near the nucleus, a large network of membrane-bound tubes is found, which is called endoplasmic reticulum. These look like long tubules or round or oblong bags (vesicles). ER is of two types:
(i) Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER),
(ii) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER).
ER helps in intracellular transport of materials. It also acts as a cytoskeleton for some bio-chemical reactions. In the liver cells of vertebrates it plays a crucial role in detoxifying many poisons and drugs.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 5 The Fundamental Unit of Life

Question 25.
Differentiate RER and SER.
Answer:
Differences between RER and SER as below:
RER (Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum)
1. They are present on the surface of the ribosomes.
2. They, lie near the nucleus.
3. They help in photosynthesis.

SER (Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum):
1. They don’t have any ribosomes.
2. They are present near the plasma membrane.
3. They help in lipid synthesis and in the formation of plasma membrane.

Question 26.
Write a note on Golgibodies.
Answer:
Golgibodies were first described by Camillo Golgi. The substance secreted by Golgibodies is accumulated in the vacuoles. Golgibodies form the cell wall. They are made up of vesicles, vacuoles and tubules. They are called golgi complex or golgi apparatus. It packages the materials produced by the ER and despatches it outside the cell.

Question 27.
Which cell organelle is called digestive bag and why ?
Answer:
Lysosome functions as a digestive bag in the cell.
Lysosomes occur in all the cells. These are spherical structures enclosed by a green coloured membrane. These contain many membrane bound small vesicles which are filled with catabolic substances lenzymes, also which are called as digestive bags which contain enzymes. These vesicles digest organic substances in the cell. These work as intercellular digestive system.

Lysosomes also function in digestion of food particles as well as worn-out cell organisms as a result of which old cells die. Therefore, they are also called ‘suicidal bags’ because during disturbances in cellular metabolism, when the cell gets damaged, lysosomes burst and the enzymes digest their own cell. RER make the digestive enzymes of the lysosomes.

Essay Type Questions

Question 1.
Explain the microscopic structure of an animal cell.
Answer:
Microscopic structure of an animal cell: The basic unit of life in living organism is called a cell. It is a small sized structure filled with protoplasm. The body of every animals is formed by grouping together of many cells. The shape ofthe cell varies and their number also varies (from organism to organism). Cell has two main parts:
(a) Cell membrane,
(b) Protoplasm.

(a) Cell membrane:
A cell is enclosed by a thin membrane which is made up of plasma. It is very thin, soft and smooth. Cell membrane is semi-permeable. It gives shape to the cell and protects the protoplasm in it. It controls the movement of material inside and outside the cell.

(b) Protoplasm:
All the material present inside the cell membrane constitutes protoplasm. In fact, protoplasm is the basis of life. All life activities are completed in the protoplasm. Protoplasm has two main parts:
(1) Nucleus,
(2) Cytoplasm.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 5 The Fundamental Unit of Life - 8

1. Nucleus:
Every cell has a spherical structure in its centre known as nucleus. Nucleus controls all the activities of the cell. Nucleus has four main parts nuclear membrane, nucleoplasm, chromatin reticulum, nucleolus. Nucleus is enclosed by a double membrane which is attached to endoplasmic reticulum. Nucleus contains DNA, RNA and substance chromatin which is made up of proteins. Chromosomes are found on the thread-like structures which constitute chromatin. Chromosomes are composed of DNA and protein. Chromosomes carry the hereditary traits from parents to offspring through genes. In the centre of the nucleus is present a dense, dark straining organelle called nucleolus. It stores RNA in it and helps in cell division.

2. Cytoplasm: Protoplasmic material of the cell other than nucleus is called cytoplasm. It contains living as well as non-living particles.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 5 The Fundamental Unit of Life

Following cell organelles are present in the cytoplasm:

(i) Mitochondria: These are double membraned spherical or rod-shaped structures. Mitochondria contains DNA, RNA and respirator)’ enzymes. These are helpful in respiration. Mitochondria are also called energy houses or powerhouses of the cell.

(ii) Ribosomes: These are spherical structures composed of RNA and protein. They are found scattered freely throughout the cell cytoplasm in prokaryots. However, in eukaryotic cells they are found either in free state in the cytoplasm or attached on the outer surface membrane of RER.

(iii) Endoplasmic Reticulum:
It is a large network of membrane-bound tubules. ER communicates both with plasma-membrane as well as nuclear membrane. Ribosomes are found on its outer surface membrane (in case of RER). It is a network formed of proteins and lipids. It helps in the transport of materials within the cell. It establishes contact between cytoplasm and nucleus.

(iv) Golgibodies:
These are membrane-bound structures found near the nucleus. Its function is not so clear or distint, but it helps in the formation of cell wall and despatches the material synthesised in ER outside the cell.

(v) Centrosome:
It is a small spherical structure found near the nucleus. It contains one or two granules, the centrioles. It helps in cell division.

(vi) Lysosomes:
These are spherical or oval structures present inside the cell. They contain digestive enzymes. Lysosomes help in digestive activity and destruction of damaged cell organelles.

(vii) Vacuoles:
These are a few spherical or egg shaped regions in the cell where there is very little cytoplasm. These are called vacuoles. Vacuoles help in the disposal of poisonous material from the cell as well as in the storage of food particles. In some unicellular organisms, specialised vacuoles also help in expelling excess water outside the cell.

(viii) Cilia and Flagella:
These are some thin, hair-like structures which help in movement of the organism in a fluid medium. Cilia are more in number but smaller in size whereas flagella are one or two in number. Their length is comparatively more.

Question 2.
What is a nucleus ? Write its functions.
Answer:
Every cell has a nucleus present in the centre. It is spherical or oval-shaped. The cell which have more than one nucleus is called coenocyte.

Following are the main parts of a nucleus :
1. Nuclear membrane: It is a thin and elastic membrane which keeps the nucleus separate from the cytoplasm.
2. Nucleoplasm: The fluid present inside the nucleus is called nucleoplasm.
3. Nucleolus: It is present inside the nucleus and controls the synthesis of protein.
4. Chromosomes: Every nucleus contains thin and long structures called chromosomes. Chromosomes are composed of a substance called nucleoprotein. This substance is formed by the joining of nucleic acids and proteins. The number of chromosomes for one type‘of organisms is fixed.

Functions of Nucleus: Following are the functions of a nucleus:
(i) The main function of the nucleus is to control and coordinate the activities of the cell.
(ii) A cell cannot remain alive without a nucleus.
(iii) It controls the hereditary characters with the help of genes.

Question 9.
What are the fundamental contributions of E. Rutherford to understand the structure of atom ?
Answer:
To understand the structure of atom, E. Rutherford gave a model of atom, according to which electrons were assumed revolving around the nucleus in their pre-planned orbits, it was just like as the planets in our solar system revolve around the sun in their fixed orbits. Besides, he told that the absolute mass of atom lies in its 4vely charged nucleus which is of the size 10-15 m .

Question 10.
Is the number of electrons in different shells of an atom constant or inconstant ? Illustrate with examples.
Answer:
The number of electrons in different shells of an atom is constant. The distribution of electrons in different shells is done on the basis of Quantum Equation i.e., 2n2; where n indicates the serial number of the orbit like:

Quantum Orbit Maximum electron
1 K 2 x 12 = 2
0 L 2 x 22 = 8
3 M 2 x 32 = 18
4 N 2 x 42 = 32

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 4 Structure of the Atom - 2

This distribution of electrons was conceived by Bohr and Bury. According to them, the valence shell (outermost shell) cannot accommodate more than eight electrons and second last shell cannot accommodate more than 18 electrons.

Example:
Hydrogen has only single orbit where only 1 electron is there. 2 electrons of helium revolve in the first orbit. Lithium has 3 electrons out of which the third electron enters the second shell. Similarly in the atom of calcium there are 20 electrons out of which in the first shell there are 2, in the second and third orbit 8-8 and in the fourth shell there are 2 electrons.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 4 Structure of the Atom

Question 11.
Define valency. How is it related to atomic structure?
Answer:
Valency:
Valency of an atom is the number of valence electrons, whereas valence electrons are the electrons of the valence shell of any atom. The valency of an element and the valency of the electrons present in its outermost shell have the following relationship :
(1) The elements that have 1-4 electrons in their valence shells, their valency is equal to that of the electrons present in the valence shell.

(2) The elements that have 5-8 electrons in their valence shells, their valency is equal to the (8-electrons existing) outermost shell of the element.

(3) In the valence shell of helium, due to two electrons, its outermost shell gets filled up completely, that is why the valency of helium is zero. Similarly, the valency of other active gases is zero because the outermost shells get accommodated.

Normally, valency of metals = number of electrons present in the outermost shell and valency of non-metals = 8- number of electrons present in the outermost shell. Therefore, we can say that valency is related to the atomic structure, since the valency of electrons present in the valence shell is known only by atomic structure.

Question 12.
What are valence electrons? How many valence electrons are there in Mg and Al ?
Answer:
Valence electrons present in the outermost orbit are known as valence electrons.
The atomic serial number of Mg and A1 is 12 and 13 respectively. Their electronic configuration is:
Mg – 2,8,2
Al – 2,8,3
Therefore, we come to know that the number of valence electrons in Mg and Al is 2 and 3 respectively.

Question 13.

Answer:

Element Atomic number Distribution of Electrons in different shells
N K L M
Lithium (Li) 3 2 1
Nitrogen (N) 7 2 5
Neon (Ne) 10 2 8
Magnesium (Mg) 12 2 8 2
Silicon (Si) 14 2 8 4

Question 14.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 4 Structure of the Atom

Question 15.
How many of the following are protons and neutrons ?
14N7 14C6 15P15
Answer:
(1) 14N7
Atomic mass = 14
Atomic number = 7
Number of protons = 7
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass – atomic number = 14 – 7 = 7

(2) 14C6
Atomic mass = 14
Atomic number = 6
Number of protons = 6
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass – atomic number
= 14 – 6 = 8

(3) 15P15
Atomic mass = 31
Atomic number = 15
Number of protons = 15
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass – atomic number
= 31 – 15 = 16

Question 16.
Explain the chemical neutrality and chemical reactivity of atom.
Answer:
The chemical properties of an atom depend upon the schematic system of setting up of electrons in it. When the valence shell of an atom of an element gets filled up completely, then that element does not participate in chemical reaction, that is, such an atom is chemically neutral, for example neon, argon, etc. When the outermost shell of an atom of any element is not completely filled up, then such an atom is chemically reactive. The law of chemical reactivity depends upon the distribution system of electrons.

Question 17.
Why are inert or inactive gases behaviourally inactive?
Answer:
The valence shell in inert gases remains filled up completely. In helium, being the first orbit it gets completed due to two electrons. In rest of the inert gases it gets filled up with 8 electrons. Thereby, the electronic configuration of inert gases used to be stable. The cause of neutrality of these elements is the difficulty of entrance or exit of the electrons. It needs more energy to out electrons out of them more on so they also do not have the efficiency of acquiring electrons.

Question 18.
Boron has two isotopes 5B10 (19%) and 5B11 (81%). Find average atomic weight for Boron.

= \(\left[\frac{190}{100}+\frac{891}{100}\right]\) = [1.90 + 8.91] = 10.81 = 11

Essay Type Questions

Question 1.
Who discovered the nucleus of atom and how ?
Answer:
The nucleus of atom was discovered by Ernest Rutherford by experimenting with the scattering of alpha particles.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 4 Structure of the Atom - 3
In this experiment, Rutherford happened to bombard a high speed stream of alpha particles on a thin foil of gold and he found that after striking the gold leaf, the alpha particles generally deflect from their path by an angle of 1°. One of the smallest parts of the alpha particles get scattered by a larger angular deflecting and come back after getting deflected very little.

It is a general fact that alpha particles are too much energetic particles. Their deflection of forming of bigger angle shows that they had hit against the total mass of atom of the substance. On the basis of this demonstration, he concluded that:

(i) The central part of the atom i. e., the nucleus is solid and has positive charge. The nucleus possesses approximately the total mass of the atom.
(ii) This central part of atom has a very’ small size as compared to the atom itself.

Question 2.
What new concept was introduced in Neils Bohr model of an atom by him ?
Answer:
Neils Bohr proposed a model of atom in 1912 A.D., which was basically based upon the new concept. These concepts are:
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 4 Structure of the Atom - 4
(1) Electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed orbits and each orbit has a different radius.
(2) Each orbit does have its definite energy. Accordingly, the orbit located near the nucleus possesses the least energy and the orbit situated farthest from the nucleus possesses the maximum energy.
(3) When an electron moves to the orbit of a lower energy level from the higher energy level, then the difference of energy is emitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation or in the form of light.
(4) All around the nucleus to fill up the different orbits or shells the number of electrons does have a definite number.
(5) Electrons can constantly revolve in a stable orbit in the form of electromagnetic waves without radiating energy.
(6) If energy is propagated to the electron with a definite energy level, it can enter the orbit with a higher energy level.

Question 3.
What are the similarities in the electronic configuration of the following atoms?
(i) Lithium, Sodium, Potassium
(ii) Helium, Neon, Argon
(iii) Beryllium, Magnesium and Calcium.
Answer:
(i) Lithium, Sodium, Potassium:

Element Atomic Number Electron Distribution
K L M N
Lithium 3 2 1
Sodium 11 2 8 1
Potassium 19 2 8 8 1

In the above electron distribution, we learn that there is only one or single electron in the valence shell of all the three atoms of the elements i.e. Lithium, Sodium and Potassium due to that reason the valency of all these elements is the same.

(ii) Helium, Neon, and Argon:

Element Atomic Number Electron Distribution
K L M N
Helium 2 2
Neon 10 2 8
Argon 18 2 -8 8

From the above electron distribution, it is learned that the valence shells (outermost shells) of the atoms of all the three elements i.e., Helium, Neon and Argon are completely filled up, due to that reason their valency is zero or all these elements are inert or inactive.

(iii) Beryllium, Magnesium and Calcium:

Element Atomic Number Electron Distribution
K L M N
Beryllium 4 2 2
Magnesium 12 2 8 2
Calcium 20 2 8 8 2

From the above electron distribution we learn that in the atoms of all three elements, there are two electrons in the valence shell. Because of that reason, all the valency of all these elements is 2.

Practical Work

Experiment 1:
Prove experimentally that when two bodies are rubbed against each other, charge is produced.

Procedure:
(1) Take a comb and rub it against the dry hair. Bring the comb near to the paper-bits. We notice the comb attracts the paper-bits to it. This proves that on rubbing two bodies against each other, a charge gets produced.

(2) Rub a glass rod with a silken cloth on bringing this glass rod near to the balloon, the balloon will get attracted to the charged glass rod. Thus, the experiment proves that on rubbing the glass rod against the silken cloth, the glass rod gets charged.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 4 Structure of the Atom

Experiment 2:
Explain with an experiment Rutherford’s scattering of alpha (a) particles.

Procedure:
To understand Rutherford’s scattering alpha (a ) particles experiment is performed in the open ground. Suppose a child is standing in front of a wall with their eyes shut. Now, ask him to throw some stones against the wall from at a short distance. On striking every stone against the wall, he will hear a sound.

If he repeats the activity ten times, he will hear the sound ten times. But if the child with his eyes shut throws the stones against a wall surrounded with barbed wire, most of the stones will not strike against that boundary and hence, no sound will be heard. As there is enough blank space in between the boundary, through which the stone escapes.

Short-Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Discuss the basic principle introduced by John Dalton regarding the nature of matter.
Answer:
The basic principle introduced by John Dalton regarding the nature of matter states that all substances whether they are elements, compounds or mixtures are composed of minute particles called atoms. It can be discussed as follows:
(1) Element is composed of very tiny indivisible particles, which are called atoms.
(2) All the atomic masses and characteristics or properties of a given element are equal in both. Atoms
of different elements have different masses and properties.
(3) The creation and destruction of atoms of an element cannot be transformed into atoms of other element.
(4) When atoms of different elements combine themselves in smaller but complete ratio, then they form compounds.
(5) In the given compound the relative number and kinds of atoms remain constant.
In brief, atom is the smallest particle of an element that keeps its chemical identity in all chemical and physical changes. The atoms of an element are different from the atoms of other elements.

Question 2.
How is modern concept different from that of the Daltons principle in terms of atom ?
Answer:
According to Daltons opinion, atom is the smallest and indivisible particle of matter and atom can neither be created nor destroyed, but according to the modem concept an atom can be further divided into even more smaller particles – electrons, protons and neutrons. Nowadays, by splitting the nucleus of atom, atom bomb is made, which expresses the difference from the law of indestructibility of atom.

Question 3.
What were the drawbacks found in the principle of Dalton ? Clarify with examples.
Answer:
Daltons principle could not explain some of the facts, which are as follows:
(1) Diamond and Graphite are formed of the same element, even then why is there so much difference in their properties ? Diamond is the hardest and the brightest thing found in nature and graphite on the other hand, is soft and of black colour.
(2) According to the principle of atom, atom is an indivisible particle, but according to the modem discoveries; atom is formed of protons, electrons and neutrons in a combined way.
(3) Mass of two atoms of an element can also be different like uranium has two isotopes 92U235 and 92U238whose atomic mass is 235u and 238u respectively.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 3 Atoms and Molecules

Question 4.
Explain that atom is divisible rather than indivisible.
Answer:
A comprehensive study has proved that atoms of certain elements release radiations that are capable to penetrate through many substances like paper. The emission of radiations or particles from atoms proves this thing that atoms are not indivisible but, divisible.

Question 5.
How big are atoms in size?
Answer:
Atoms are very small. They are even smaller than a thing that we can imagine or compare. When millions of atoms are stacked, then it would hardly form a thick layer same as thick that of a sheet of paper.

Practical Work

Experiment 1.
Prove with an experiment the law of solutions conservation of mass.

Procedure:
Prepare a 5% solution of copper sulphate and sodium carbonate in water. Now, take a little quantity of sodium carbonate solution in a conical flask and take a little quantity of copper sulphate in a test tube and suspend it into the conical flask in such a way that both the solvates should not get mixed up with each other as shown in the figure. After that fix it to the neck of flask and find its mass. Now, rotate the flask in a tilted position so that both the solutions get mixed up together. Now, again note down the mass of the flask. You will notice that before and after the activity the mass of the conical flask remains constant. This proves the law of mass conservation.

Experiment 2.
Describe an activity to explain the standard atomic mass unit.

Procedure:
Suppose a fruit seller is selling fruits without standard weights. He takes a watermelon and says “This has a mass equal to 12 units.” He chops the watermelon into 12 equal pieces and finds that the mass of each fruit being sold by him is relative to the mass of the single piece of the watermelon. As shown in the figure. Now, he sells the fruits by relative fruit mass unit (frnu). Thus, the relative atomic mass of an element is defined as average mass of its atoms w.r.f. the mass of 1/12 th part the mass of one carbon-l2 atoms.

Short-Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
What is called as a mixture? How many types of the mixture are there? Explain briefly.
Answer:
A mixture constitutes more than one substance (element/compound). A mixture can be separated by physical process into two or more two substances. Mixtures are mainly of two types:

1. Homogeneous Mixture: The mixture where composition remains constant everywhere, is called a homogeneous mixture e.g., a mixture of salt and water, a mixture of sugar and water.

2. Heterogeneous Mixture: The mixture in which physically there are different parts and each part is of different characteristics, is called a heterogeneous mixture e.g., a mixture of sodium chloride and iron peeling, a mixture of salt and sulphur and a mixture of water and oil.

Question 2.
Why is the solution of salt into water considered as a mixture but not a compound?
Answer:
Solution of salt into water is considered as a mixture but not a compound because:
(1) In salt water, salt and water can be separated by the distillation process.
(2) Saltwater displays the properties of of its both components – water and salt.
(3) Salt water has a different composition. By dissolving different quantity of salt into a definite quantity of water, salt water of different compositions can be obtained.
(4) Salt water does not have any fixed formula.

Question 3.
Give an example of such a mixture:
(i) Where both substances are compounds.
(ii) Where both element and compound are combined.
(iii) Where both are elements.
Answer:
(i) Such a mixture where both substances are compounds: On dissolving sugar in water, the syrup is formed which is a mixture in which sugar and water both are compounds.
(ii) Such a mixture where both element and compound are combined: Air is such a mixture in which oxygen and nitrogen are elements and carbon dioxide and water vapours both are compounds.
(iii) Such a mixture where both elements: Brass, copper and zinc are formed by mixing two elements.

Question 4.
What is called a solution ? Make a list of different types of solutions.
Answer:
A solution is a homogeneous mixture in which two or more two substances are there. Different types of solutions are as follows:

State of solute State of solvent Example of solution
Solid Solid Gold and silver, copper and gold, combined metals (copper, bronze).
Solid Liquid Sugar-water, salt water.
Liquid Solid Mercury in silver.
Liquid Liquid Alcohol in water.
Gas Gas Air.
Gas Liquid Oxygen dissolved in water, carbon dioxide dissolved in water.

Question 5.
Give any four characteristics of solutions

Different characteristics of the solution are as follows:
(i) Solution is a homogeneous mixture.
(ii) As molecules of solution are smaller in diameter than lnm (10-9 m), so they cannot be seen with naked eyes.
(iii) Due to their smaller size, solutions do not scatter the passing over the beam of light, thus no path of light is seen in solutions.
(iv) Particles of solute cannot be separated from the solution by the filtration method. On leaving the solution, untouched even then the particles of solute do not settle down, thus the solution is stable.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure

Question 6.
What are aqueous and non-aqueous solutions?
Answer:
Aqueous Solutions: These are those solutions which are prepared by dissolving substances into the water; like syrup and soda water etc.
Non-aqueous Solutions: These are those solutions which are prepared by dissolving apart from water in other solvents (like alcohol, acetone etc.) e.g., solution in benzene of tincture iodine nap/itfiafene.

Question 7.
Why is it not possible to identify solute and solvent particles separately in a solution?
Answer:
Particles of solute are so closely combined with a solvent that they cannot be separately identified. Solutions are homogeneous, thus the composition of solutions is uniform. If salt-solution and sugar-solution are mixed, as the result in the obtained homogeneous solutions both solutions combine with each other well and to make difference between basic solute and solvent is not possible.

Question 8.
How is the strength of a solution expressed? Explain with an example with its meaning.
Answer:
The strength of solutions is expressed in the context of the quantity of solute present in the mass or volume of a given solution or in the context of the quantity of dissolved solute in the mass or volume of a given solvent The strength of solutions can also be expressed in the form of per cent volume of solutes which give the mass of solutes in the 100 mass per unit. Its mass unit is gram.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure - 2
For example, if we take a solution of 10% glucose (C6H12O6) by mass. It contains 10 g of glucose in 100 g of solution. It can also be called in the form as 10 g of glucose in 90 g of water. If something is not said in a special manner, then the meaning of per cent in the form of mass is per cent and water is solvent in it.

Question 9.
Define saturated solution, unsaturated solution and supersaturated solution.
Answer:
Saturated Solution: When at a given temperature in a solution the extra solute that gets dissolved in it beyond its capacity, then it is called a saturated solution. In this solution, dissolved and undissolved solutes are in equilibrium together.
Unsaturated Solution: If in a solution, the quantity of a solute already present in it is less than the saturated level, then the solution is called an unsaturated solution.
Supersaturated Solution: If in a solution, the strength of the solution is more than the saturated strength, this solution is called a supersaturated solution.

Question 10.
A certain solution, in 320 g of water keeps 40 g of salt. Give the strength of solution.
Solution:
Mass of solute substance (salt) = 40 g
Mass of solvent (water) = 320 g
Mass of solution = Mass of solute substance + Mass of solution = 40g + 320 g = 360 g

(ii) Rice, grams and iron powder.
(iii) Sand, phaseolies mungo (dal mash) and chaff.
(iv) Sand, camphor and iron powder.
(v) Sand, sugar and iron powder.
Answer:
(i) This mixture can be separated by more than one methods. Mixture of chaff is separated by threshing method. After that the mixture is filtered by immersing it into water. Sugar due to possessing solution quality makes solution in water and the wheat grains leaves behind on the sieve. They are got dried up. Thereafter, solution is heated up in the porcelain dish. On heating water evaporates in the form of steam and sugar leaves behind in the porcelain dish. Hence, all the three components get separated.

(ii) To separate this mixture too more than one methods are applied. Firstly, creep the magnet into the mixture, with the result the iron powder get stuck to the magnet and is got separated. Again, the remaining rice and grams can be separated by filtration method. In this method, rice will leave at the bottom and grams will come up.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure

(iii) To separate this mixture, at first chaff is separated by threshing method. Sand and phaseolies mungo will be left behind. These can be separated by filtration process.

(iv) Firstly, magnet is moved above the mixture, the iron powder gets stuck to the magnet and thus is got separated. After that, the mixture is separated by sublimation process. Camphor turns into vapours, which get deposited on the inner walls of the funnel when they cool down and sand remains behind in the vessel. Thus, all the three components get separated.

(v) The iron powder is got separated from the mixture by using the magnet. Then mixture is dissolved into water. Sugar gets dissolved in water. Thereafter it is filtered, sugar being solute goes down to the bottom in the form of solution, and the sand leaves behind on the filter-paper. Then this solution is heated up. On heating water evaporates and sugar is left behind in the container.

2. Physical state These are generally found in solid state (except mercury). They are found in three states (solid, liquid and gas).
3. Lustre Metals have a peculiar metallic lustre. They have no lustre.
4. Conductivity Metals are generally good conductors of heat and electricity. They are generally bad conductors. Graphite is an exception.
5. Malleability and ductility Metals are generally Non-metals are generally brittle.
6. Flardness malleable and ductile. These are soft.

Practical Work:

Experiment – 1:
Prepare two homogeneous mixtures in the laboratory.
Procedure:
(i) Take 50 ml of water in a beaker, add two spoonful of salt into it and stir the solution with a spoon. Thus, the obtained mixture will be homogeneous because in it, the particles of solute and solvent cannot be identified separately.
(ii) Take 50 ml of water in a beaker, add one spoon of sugar to it and stir it. Thus, by stirring the obtained solution will be homogeneous mixture, since, in it solute and solvent particles cannot be separately identified

Experiment – 2:
Prove with an experiment that solution is homogeneous.
Procedure:
Take a solution of salt and water. Filter it through filter paper and taste the filtered solution. It will be salty as before. Now, look at the filter paper. It does not have any residue. Thus, it proves that solutions are homogeneous which escape through the filter paper and leaves no residue.

Experiment- 3:
How can components of colour (dye) be separated from blue or black ink ?
Procedure:
Take a beaker half-filled with water, now keep a watch glass on its mouth as shown in the figure. Trickle down a few drops of ink on it. Now, start heating up the beaker. We don’t want to directly heat the ink. You will notice evaporation taking place in the watch glass. Heating is done constantly till evaporation. When we do not notice any further change in the watch glass, then we stop heating. Thus, a blue or black component remains left behind in the watch glass as a residue. In this process in the ink-water coloured mixture water gets evaporated by means of evaporation.

Experiment – 4:
How will you separate iodine and sand from its mixture ?
Procedure:
The mixture of iodine and sand is separated by sublimation process. In this process, the mixture is put into a porcelain dish and a separating funnel is kept on it in an inverted position. The opening of the stem of the funnel is blocked with a cotton plug. Now, this mixture is heated from at the bottom. On heating iodine directly converts into vapour state which on cooling down, gets deposited on to the inner walls of the funnel and the sand is left behind in the dish. Thereby, iodine is scratched down from the funnel. Thus, the components of mixture get separated.

Experiment – 5:
How is acetone and water separated from their solution in the laboratory ?
Procedure:
(i) Pour the mixture into the distillation flask. Joins a thermometer with this.
(ii) Set the apparatus according to the given diagram.
(iii) Gradually heat up the flask and carefully keep eyes on the thermometer.
(iv) Acetone evaporates and on condensing, can be collected into the vessel by condensation after taking
(v)Water is remain left in the distillation tiask. Thus, acetone and water will get separated.
