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.)

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

Essay Type Questions

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.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion - 11
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.

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 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.

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.

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

Practical Work

Experiment 1:
Describe one activity for the difference between distance and displacement.

Procedure:
Take a metre scale and a long rope. Walk from one corner of a basket-ball court to its opposite corner way and measure with the help of scale. This will be the distance covered by you, whereas you will get displacement by putting a straight-rope from one corner to another. Suppose ABCD is basket-ball court. Distance to go from A to C AB + BC, whereas displacement = AC.

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.
2. The leaves of these plants have parallel veination.
3. The root system is fibrous in them.
4. There is no secondary growth.
5. Stem divided into nodes.
Example: Wheat, maize, bajra, etc.

Dicots:
1. Seeds with two cotyledons.
2. Veination in their leaves is reticulate with a network of veins.
3. Tap root system is present in them.
4. Secondary growth is present.
5. Stem is not divided into nodes.
Example: Mustard (sarson), pea, gram, etc.

(c) Cardiac muscles.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 6 Tissues

Question 34.
Make difference between striated muscles arid cardiac muscies.
Answer:
The differences between striated muscies and cardiac muscles are as follows:
Striated muscle:
1. These muscles work accordingly to our will i.e., they are voluntary muscles.
2. These muscles are jointed with bones.
3. They are unbranched.
4. They have a number of nuclei.
5. They have light or dark bands on them.

Cardiac muscle:
1. These muscles are involuntary, they do not work accordingly to our command.
2. These muscles are found in the heart.
3. They are branched.
4. They have one or two nuclei.
5. They have transverse indistinct light bands which show faint cross striations.

Question 35.
Describe the structure of skeletal and cardiac muscles.
Answer:
Skeletal Muscles:
We can move some muscles by the conscious will. Muscles present in our limbs move when we want them to, and stop when we so decide. Such muscles are called voluntary muscles. These muscles are also called skeletal muscles as they are mostly attached to bones and help in body movement. Under the microscope, these muscles show alternative light and dark bands or striations when stained appropriately. As a result, they are also called striated muscles. The cells of this tissue are long, cylindrical, unbranched and multinucleate (having many nuclei).
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 6 Tissues - 9

Cardiac Muscles: The muscles of the heart show rhythmic contraction and relaxation throughout life. These involuntary muscles are called cardiac muscles. Heart muscle cells are cylindrical, branched and uninucleate.

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.

Question 5.
What is blood (human blood) ? Explain its constituents.
Answer:
Blood: Blood is liquid connective tissue which is red in colour. Blood circulates in the organs of body, thus it can be said that it connects the entire parts of the body together.

Human blood has mainly two constituents:
(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.).

Procedure:
(i) Peel off a thin slice or transverse section of a thin and soft stem of a plant, keep it into the safranine solution.
(ii) Take a slice of stem section and keep it on a glass slide carefully leave a drop of glycerine on it and cover it with a coverslip.

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

Question 2.
Write a note on the size of the cell.
Answer:
The size of the cell is so small that it is difficult to see it. It can be seen under a microscope, but to see and measure its structural organisation, a special unit called micron (p) on a micrometre is used. A micron is the l/000th part of a millimetre. Generally cells are around 30 microns in size. The smallest cell is mycoplasmas galisepticum and the largest cell is the egg of ostrich which is 170 x 135 mm in size. The size of pleuropneumonia is 0.1 pm. The size of the cell depends on the function it performs.

Question 3.
What is cell theory (principal) ?
Answer:
Cell is the basic unit of life. This is the cell theory. According to this theory, all living organisms are made up of cells. Cell is the functional and structural unit of life. Cell is a body containing protoplasm. Cell theory was proposed by M. Schleiden (1838) and T. Schwann (1839) after studying plant and animal cells. Afterwards, in 1855, Virchow expanded the cell theory by saying, ‘The new cells are formed from division of pre-existing cell.’ This is the cell theory.

Question 4.

The main differences between the cells of unicellular and multicellular organisms are :
(1) The cell of a unicellular organism is generally circular or oval, while the cells of multicellular organisms are cylindrical.

(2) As a unicellular organism is made up of a single cell, all the life activities are performed by this single cell. On the other hand in multicellular organisms, all cells perform certain specific functions.

(3) As all the life activities are performed by a single cell in unicellular organisms, these activities are not performed efficiently. But division of labour is found in the cells multicellular organisms. Different cells perform specific functions, which they do efficiently.

(4) Amoeba, Paramoecium, etc. are unicellular organisms while dog, frog, man, etc. are multicellular organisms.

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

Question 8.
What are the advantages of multicellularity ?
Answer:
Multicellularity has a lot of advantages. Because of multicellularity, division of labour is found in higher animals. Because of difference in the types of cells, various cells perform specific functions in these organisms. All the cells co ordinate with each other. Thus, all the activities relating to growth and development depend upon the co ordination between all the cells.

Question 9.
What are the differences between plasma membrane and cell wall ? Give their functions also.

Question 10.
What happens when we put an animal cell or a plant cell into a sugar solution ?
Answer:
The following can happen if we put a living cell in sugar solutions having different concentration:
(1) When put in a hypotonic solution, water will enter the cell by osmosis.
(2) When put in an isotonic solution,there will be no net movement of water through the cell membrane.
(3) When put in a hypertonic solution, the water will come out of the cell through osmosis.

Question 11.
How is diffusion important for a cell ?
Answer:
Diffusion plays an important role for the entry and exit of water and gases in and out of the cell. It helps the cell to get nutrition from the outside environment. The entry and exit of various molecules and in and out of the cell takes place by diffusion only.

Question 12.
What is cell wall ?
Answer:
Cell Wall: Cell wall is found only in plant cells. Some bacteria also possess cell wall. As the cell wall is made up of cellulose, it is permeable to water. Because of hardening of cellulose, it is non-living.

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:

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:

QuantumOrbitMaximum electron
1K2 x 12 = 2
0L2 x 22 = 8
3M2 x 32 = 18
4N2 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.

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.
Answer:
Average atomic mass of Boron atom = [10 x \(\frac {19}{100}\) + 11 x \(\frac {81}{100}\) ]
= \(\left[\frac{190}{100}+\frac{891}{100}\right]\) = [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:

ElementAtomic NumberElectron Distribution
KLMN
Lithium321
Sodium11281
Potassium192881

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:

ElementAtomic NumberElectron Distribution
KLMN
Helium22
Neon1028
Argon182-88

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:

ElementAtomic NumberElectron Distribution
KLMN
Beryllium422
Magnesium12282
Calcium202882

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.

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.

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.

(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

Essay Type Questions

Question 1.
Explain the method to obtain different gases from air.
Answer:
Air is a homogeneous mixture of different gases and its components can be separated by fractional distillation. Different stages or phases of this method have been shown diagrammatically ahead:
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure - 18
For instance, if we want to obtain oxygen gas from the air (according to the figure), then we will have to isolate other gases present in the air. In order to obtain liquefied air, initially pressure is increased on the air and then by decreasing temperature and cooling it down and it is compressed. This liquefied gas is further heated up in fractionating distillating column, where all gases get separated in accordance with their boiling points at different altitudes, as it is shown in the fig. below:

Question 2.
Name the method applicable to separate the following mixtures respectively:
(i) Wheat grains, sugar crystals and chaff.
(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.

Question 3.
Explain water supply system in towns diagrammatically, also tell which separating methods are adopted ?
Answer:
In towns, water is supplied by water-works. A flow diagram of typical water works is shown in the figure. In these water works, by means of distillation decantation, sedimentation and filtration processes unwanted material is separated from water.

Short-Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
How has the classification of matter been done in ancient period in context with the modern science?
Answer:
Classification of matter:
(1) In ancient times, the ancient philosophers had the concept that matter is composed of five basic elements i.e.,
(i) air
(ii) earth
(iii) fire
(iv) water
(v) sky (all were said to be Panch Tatvas)
all the living or non-living things according to them were bom out of these five elements, whereas the Greek Philosophers are of the view that there have been only four elements in all i.e.,
(i) air
(ii) earth
(iii) fire and
(iv) water.
(2) The modem scientists on the other hand, on the bases of physical properties and chemical nature have classified matter into two kinds.

Question 2.
How is the classification of matter done according to the physical properties?
Answer:
According to physical properties matter are divided into three categories:
1. Solids: Solids are completely incompressible, of definite shape and volume; like stone, wood, iron, ice, salt, sugar, etc.
2. Liquids: Liquids are comparatively less incompressible. They have a definite volume but have an indefinite shape like water, kerosene, spirit, petrol, milk, etc.
3. Gases: Gas is an excessively compressible fluid. Its volume and shape is indefinite which means the gas of a given quantity can be filled in any container of any shape like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapours, methane, etc.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings

Question 7.
Clarify your answer with suitable examples that the properties of all the liquid matter do not resemble one another.
Answer:
The following examples make it clear that the properties of all the liquid matter do not resemble with one another:
(1) Some liquids have low ignition point like petrol, but there are yet certain liquids which do not catch fire like water.
(2) Some liquids are comparatively heavier in weight like mercury. Some liquids are not too heavier like kerosene oil.
(3) Some liquids flow’ quickly like water. Some liquids flow slowly, for example, molten sugar and honey.
(4) Some liquids have the property to saturate salt, sugar, etc. in them. Some liquids cannot saturate these in them like mustard oil.
(5) Some liquids are colourless like kerosene oil, whereas some liquids are coloured like mustard oil.
(6) Some liquids evaporate earlier like spirit. Some liquids evaporate later like turpentine oil.

Question 8.
Compare the intermolecular force in molecules or atoms in solids, liquids and gases.
Answer:
In solids, molecules or atoms are densely and compactly arranged and they are tied up with one another by means of force of attraction whereas in liquids, atoms or molecules are thinly and loosely arranged. In solids, molecules or atoms oscillate about their respective positions, while in liquids, molecules or atoms can move about here and there within their fixed path. In gases, molecules or atoms are quite far away from one another and they move randomly. These molecules or atoms are free to move about within maximum space.

Question 9.
Clarify the reason of generating of pressure in gases.
Answer:
Since in a gaseous state, the motion of molecules is free at all. they can move about in a container, they can collide with one another and also, with the walls of the container. Due to the regular collision of them against the walls, a definite force gets produced. Consequently, pressure is generated in gases.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings

Question 10.
When we turn ice into water by heating process and further convert water into steam by heating it up, then what differences do we observe in the compactness of the molecules of water ?
Answer:
Ice is a solid substance and its molecules are associated with one another due to the force of cohesion. On heating ice, its molecules get active and start moving on receiving energy with the result, their force of cohesion gets loosened and molecules start flowing that means the solid ice forms the shape of liquid. When water is heated up the random speed of molecules speeds up very much and they generally leave apart from one another to a great extent and become free to move about that is, their intermolecular force weakens too much, such a state of water is said to be steam (gas).

Question 13.
The shape of a rubber band can be changed by stretching it, but even then it is not considered as a solid, why ?
Answer:
The shape of the rubber band can be changed by stretching it, but even then it is not considered as a solid, it is because of the reason that on applying external force the rubber band changes its shape and on the removal of the external force it again retains its original shape, whereas it breaks up if the applied force is beyond a limit.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings

Question 14.
Sugar and salt form the shape exactly of the vessels of different shapes in which they are kept, but still they are considered as solids, why ?
Answer:
Sugar and salt form the shape of the vessels of different shapes in which they are kept, but still they are considered as solids, it is because the shape of their crystals do not change.

Question 15.
A sponge, even being a solid gets compressed, why?
Answer:
Even being a solid, a sponge gets compressed, it is because the sponge consists of small pores in it, which keep trapped air in them. When we press or compress it, the air escapes out from these pores and the sponge gets compressed.

Question 16.
In fluids, diffusion of three states (solid, liquid and gas) is possible, why?
Answer:
In fluids, diffusion of solids, liquids and gases is possible. In liquids the diffusion rate is comparatively higher, in a liquid state, the molecules of a substance move freely and in comparison to solids, the molecules of liquids occupy more vacant space.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings

Question 17.
The temperature remains equal when a solid undergoes the process of melting, where does the heat energy go during the process?
Answer:
During the melting process any solid (like ice), on reaching the melting point, till the solid melts as a whole, the temperature does not change. Despite providing heat to the beaker, it happens so. By bringing under control the intermolecular force of the molecules, while in changing the state of the matter this heat energy is utilised, because without indicating any increase in the temperature, this heat energy is absorbed by the solid (ice), this thing is assumed that it remains hidden in the material of the beaker, which is called latent heat. At atmospheric pressure, the amount of heat energy that is required to convert 1 kg of solid at its melting point into liquid, is called dormant heat energy of melting, at 0° centigrade (273 K) the energy of the molecules of water is more than that of the molecules of ice at a similar temperature.

Question 18.
Convert the following Celsius measures into Kelvin measuring sequence:
-273°C; -100°C; -40°C; 30°C; 2000°C
Answer:
We know that K = °C + 273
Therefore,
(i) -273°C = -273 + 273 = 0 K
(ii) -100°C = -100 + 273 = 173K
(iii) – 40°C = – 40 + 273 = 233 K
(iv) 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303 K
(v) 2000°C = 2000 + 273 = 2273

Question 19.
Air, at 82 K temperature changes into liquid and at 61K temperature, converts into solid Convert these temperatures in Celsius measuring sequence:
Answer:
We know that
(i) While keeping K = 82
K = °C + 273
82 = °C + 273
⇒ °C = 82 – 273 -191
So, the temperature of the liquefied air = 82 K = -191°C

(ii) Assuming K = 61
61 = °C + 273
⇒ °C = 61 – 273 = -212
So, the temperature of solidified air = 61 K = – 212°C

Question 20.
Why is ice, with a temperature 0°C more effective for cooling than water at 0°C ?
Answer:
We know, the dormant heat energy of melting of ice is 335 J/g. Therefore, ice with 0°C does have comparatively more heat than water at 0°C. Hence, ice with 0PC is more effective than the water with 0°C for cooling.

Question .21.
Why does our body feel cooler in the Himalayan region during winters?
Answer:
In the Himalayan region during winters, the temperature of environment drops below 0°C, whereas the normal temperature of our body used to be 37°C or 98.6° F. Just because of this drastic difference in temperature we feel more chilled in those regions during winters. Covering the body with woollen clothes the inner heat of the body gets maintained and the low temperature outside does not affect our body.

Question 22.
What is meant by evaporation and boiling ?
Answer:
Evaporation: During this process the liquid converts into water vapours before it gets boiled. Evaporation generally occurs on the outer surface of a liquid at all temperatures.

Boiling: When the pressure of any liquids surface equalises the atmospheric pressure, then the liquid starts converting into vapours. This process is called the boiling of a liquid.

Question 23.
Why do the wet clothes dry up sooner if they are spread out ?
Answer:
The speed of evaporation depends upon the surface of the wet article. When the wet clothes are spread out to dry up, the size of the wet surface area gets increased with that evaporation takes place fastly. For that reason the wet clothes dry up earlier when they are spread out and put to dry.

Question 24.
When during winters the water in the tank thaws, then how the fishes living in the tank survive ?
Answer:
During chilly winter days the water in the tank thaws at 0°C into ice, but in this process, only the outer layer of the water surface freezes and the water below to that layer does not thaw. Due to this non-uniform expansion when water is cooled down below 4°C temperature, it instead of contracting expands up to 0°C. For that reason, water thaws into lighter ice and ice start floating on the water. The fish found in such water and the other aquatic animals move to the liquid water below to ice and they survive there.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings - 2

Question 25.
Where do water vapours come from in the atmosphere?
Answer:
When we put wet clothes in the sun, they dry up sooner. The water present in the fibres of the clothes on evaporating becomes a part of the atmosphere. Similarly, water evaporates in a huge quantity from lakes, rivers and oceans Air cannot sustain water vapours at a given temperature more than a fixed amount. When there is the maximum amount of water vapours in air, the air is said to be quenched.

Question 26.
Why do people sprinkle water on floor and roofs during summers ?
Answer:
People sprinkle water on floor and roofs during summer because water evaporates for which it gets heat from the floor and the roof and thereby keeps them cool. Therefore to keep floor and roofs cool, people sprinkle water on them in summer.

7. This process depends upon all these things.
8. In this process, bubbles are not produced.

Question 2.
On what factors does the process of evaporation depend ?
Answer:
The process of evaporation is affected by the following factors:
(1) On being the air become dr}’, the evaporation process goes rapidly.
(2) Also, due to fast speed of wind the process of evaporation speeds up.
(3) Even when the base of the liquid is open the process of evaporation will take place randomly.
(4) With the increase in the temperature of the liquid evaporation process will be faster.
(5) If the temperature of air increases the speed of the evaporation process will be rapid.
(6) In more volatile liquids like spirit, petrol, etc. evaporation takes place quickly.
(7) Due to low pressure evaporation process accelerates.

Question 3.
Why does coolness occur with the evaporation of water ? Give some of its uses in our daily life.
Answer:
Coolness occurs due to evaporation, because when water evaporates, it needs latent heat energy of evaporation. This heat can be obtained from that substance which is in the contact of water, thus that substance becomes somewhat cool.

Uses of Evaporation in Daily Life:
(1) Water remains cool in an earthen pot, but not in a bucket, because there are pores in the pot. Water seeps out of them and it evaporates which produces coolness. Thus, water remains cool.
(2) During summer the trees bear more leaves and from the stomata of these leaves evaporation takes place, as a result coolness produces and the trees remain cool.
(3) During perspiration, fanning brings the sensation of coolness, because by fanning the sweat evaporates which produces coolness. For evaporation of sweat, heat is obtained from the body itself.
(4) On sprinkling water on the ground there is coolness for when evaporation of water takes place, then it gains heat from the earth, so the earth becomes cool.
(5) After bathing we feel cool, it is because the body is wet. The evaporation of water takes place and for evaporation, heat is obtained from the body, hence we feel cold.

Practical Work

Experiment 1:
Prove through an activity that matter are composed of molecules and molecules have vacant space or gap in between them.

Procedure:
Take a graduated measuring cylinder. Fill % part of it with water and note down the surface level. Now add some sugar to it and note down its surface level. You will notice that the surface level of water has increased somewhat.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings - 4
Now, stir well sugar in the water. Sugar will dissolve in water and the surface level of water will again reduce. This proves, that there is gap between molecules of water. While stirring the molecules of sugar-filled up that vacant space, consequently, the water level inside the cylinder was reduced. Since matter is composed of molecules, hence sugar got dissolved in the whole of the water.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings

Experiment 2:
Prove experimentally, the molecules of matter are so small in size, that we cannot even imagine.

Procedure:
Take a beaker, add 100 ml of water in it. Add two or three crystals of potassium permanganate and dissolve. Draw out approximately 10 ml of solution from the beaker, add 90 ml of pure water to it. Again draw out 10 ml of solution and add 90 ml of pure water to it. Repeat this process 5 to 8 times. You will notice, the water will still remain coloured. This experiment shows that with very small amount of crystals of potassium permanganate, the huge amount of water (1000 litres) too becomes coloured. Thus, we come to the conclusion that just one crystal of potassium permanganate will have a number of minute molecules. They are so minute that we cannot even imagine.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings - 5

Experiment 3:
Prove experimentally that diffusion takes place more rapidly in gases than in liquids. Procedure: Make a preparation of concentrated film by adding a spoonful of potassium permanganate in 100 ml of water. Keep this solution in the beaker. Now, keep the beaker in a little bit tilted position and add 100 ml of water to it. While adding water to the beaker, be careful that the water should flow down along the wall of the beaker in such a way, so that the concentrated solution of potassium permanganate remains undisturbed. After some time you will observe two layers are formed separately which are quite clear.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings

Nevertheless, you will see the water gradually flowing into coloured film and the coloured film gradually flowing into water. After some time both the layers will not be seen isolated quite clearly. Note down the tune taken by both the layers to mix up with each other. Now, light a candle in one of the comers in your classroom. You stand far away at the other comer. Now, ask one of your friends to light a few incense sticks. You will very soon experience the fragrance of the incense sticks. Note down the time taken right from the time of lighting of the incense sticks, till the time taken by fragrance to reach to you. We will notice that in the latter stage total time taken was very less than that in the former stage. It proves that in gases diffusion was more rapid than in the liquids.

Experiment 4:
Illustrate experimentally, what effect does pressure have on solids, liquids and gases.

Procedure:
Take a syringe of 100 ml volume. Insert its needle (nozzle) into a rubber cork and close it up, as shown in the figure. Take away the piston and let air fill completely inside the syringe. Now, insert the piston back into the syringe carefully and make sure there is no leakage around the ends of the syringe. It would be better to apply a little bit of vaseline on the piston. Now, try to compress the air. You will notice that air will be compressed.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings - 6

Now, fill the syringe with water and again repeat the same process. In the experiment done with water you will notice in water, compression is comparatively less than in the first one. Now, repeat the same experiment with piece of chalk in place of water, there will be no compressibility. On the bases of this experiment, we can say gases have maximum effect of pressure, liquids have lesser than that and on solids, it is almost negligible; that is, gases are the most compressible.

Experiment 5:
Experimentally show that with the change in temperature, the state of matter changes.

Procedure:
Take a piece of ice of 150 gm in a beaker and according to the figure hang the thermometer used in the laboratory into it such that the bulb of the thermometer should touch the ice. Start heating the beaker on mild flame. When the ice starts melting, then note down the temperature.
(1) When the whole of the ice change into water, then again note down the temperature.
(2) Note down the downfall in temperature in the change of solid into a liquid state.
(3) Now, place a glass rod into the beaker and heat it while stirring, till the water boils.
(4) Keep a constant eye on the degree of temperature in the thermometer, till most of the water converts into water vapours.
(5) Note down the drop in temperature right from the conversion of water in a liquid state into the gaseous state

Experiment 6:
Experimentally show that ammonium chloride is a sublime substance.

Procedure:
Take a small amount of powdered ammonium chloride in a dish. Place a funnel in an inverted position on this dish. Insert a cotton plug into the mouth of the stem of the funnel as shown in the figure. Now gently heat the dish carefully. We will notice, that ammonium chloride, without getting converted into a liquid state gets converted directly from a solid state to a gaseous state and gets deposited on the walls of the funnel. This proves that ammonium chloride is a sublime substance.

(b) Farmers use ordinary seeds, adopt irrigation and use fertilizers.
(c) Farmers use good quality seeds, adopt irrigation, use fertilizers and use crop protection measures.
Answer:
In the above three conditions, the third condition (c) is best because in this condition, seeds are of
high quality, i.e., high-level production. Irrigation is helpful in the nutrition of plants, fertilizers supply the nutrients to plants that are required for the development, growth and production of the plants. Crop protection prevents the crops from various harms and in fact, production increases. Hence, condition (c) is best for farmers.

Questions from Sub-section 15.1.3

Question 1.
Why should preventive measures and biological control methods be preferred for protecting crops?
Answer:
The preventive measures for the protection of crops are: timely sowing of crops, proper seedbed preparation, intercropping and crop rotation also help in weed control. Any type of poisonous chemical such as pesticides, weedicides, etc. is not used. Some other preventive measures against pests are the use of resistant varieties and summer plowing, in which fields are plowed deep in summers to destroy weeds and pests. In this way, soil pollution is not taking place and no extra amount is to be consumed on these measures. Hence, these are also useful economically.

Discuss the implications of the following statement:
“It is interesting to note that poultry is India’s most efficient converter of low fiber foodstuff (which is unfit for human consumption) into highly nutritious animal protein food.”
Answer:
Poultry has this quality that low fiber foodstuffs which are unfit for human consumption that means on the basis of quality these are totally unfit for human consumption, to those it has the ability to convert into highly nutritious animal protein food. Poultry eggs and meat are enriched with proteins and this diet is considered to be a protein-rich diet for humans

Questions from Sub-section 15.2.2

Question 1.
What management practices are common in dairy and poultry farming?
Answer:
There is a big similarity between animal husbandry and poultry farming :
(1) Both are required clean, well-ventilated, and moisture-less homes.
(2) Both are supplied well balanced and enough diet.
(3) Both suffer from a number of diseases that are prevented by appropriate vaccination and both are also treated by the physicians
(4) Both have economic importance, i.e., both are domesticated for economic profit.
(5) Both the high-quality breeds are domesticated to earn a big profit.
Hence, both are similar under the management system.

Question 2.
What are the differences between broilers and layers in their management?
Answer:
Broiler farming is done for meat purposes, whereas layer farming is undertaken for egg production. This is the main difference between them. Broilers and chickens are fed with protein, fats, and vitamin-rich supplementary food for good growth rate and better feed efficiency. Care is taken to avoid mortality and to maintain feathering and carcass quality, whereas the layer requires this type of feeding in less quantity. The housing, nutritional and environmental requirements of broilers are somewhat different from those of egg-producing layers.

More intensive fish farming can be done in composite fish culture systems. In such a system, a combination of five or six fish species is used in a single fishpond. These species are selected so that they do not compete for food among them having different types of food habits:
(1) The food available in all the parts of the pond is used.
(2) Weeds can be controlled by bio-practices in composite fish culture.
(3) Without competing with each other, fish yield increases in the pond.

Questions from Sub-section 15.2.4

Question 1.
What are the desirable characteristics of bee varieties suitable for honey production?
Answer:
It is the natural desirable character in variety that it is suitable for increasing honey production. Honey collection and the defense of the beehive are both qualities in Italian bees. They stay in a given beehive for long periods and are freed very well, it increases honey production.

Question 2.
What is pasturage and how is it related to honey production?
Answer:
Pasturage is the natural grassy field where grass for animals and other flowering plants are available. By these flowers, the bees make honey from nectar and pollen collection. The taste of honey depends upon the pasturage, or the flowers available to the bees.
For Examples; honey of bruce flowers, honey of neem flowers, and honey of eucalyptus flowers. The quality of honey is determined by the taste of honey.

HBSE 9th Class Science Improvement in Food Resources Textbook Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Explain any one method of crop production which ensures high yield.
Answer:
One way of incorporating desirable characters into crop varieties is by hybridization. Hybridization is the mating or crossing of genetically different plants. The progeny resulting from hybridization is known as a hybrid. Hybridization refers to crossing between genetically dissimilar plants. This crossing may be intervarietal (between different varieties), interspecific (between two different species of the same genus), or intergeneric (between different genera). Another way of improving the crop is by introducing a gene that would provide the desired characteristics. This results in genetically modified crops.

Question 2.
Why are manures and fertilizers used in fields?
Answer:
Manures and fertilizers have macro-nutrients. There is a lack of nutrients in the soil as crops absorb nutrients from the soil continuously. Manures and fertilizers are mixed in the fields to fulfill the loss of nutrients. The land proves to be barren and the fertility of the land decreases if we do not fulfill the loss. The loss of these nutrients can also be completed by crop rotation.

Question 3.
What are the advantages of intercropping and crop rotation?
Answer:
The following are the advantages of intercropping and crop rotation:
(1) It maintains the fertility of the land. It does not become barren.
(2) Two or more crops can be grown in a year with good harvests.
(3.) Weeds and insects are destroyed.
(4) With the increase of production, farmers’ income also increases.
(5) Threat of unsuccessful crop production also decreases.

Question 4.
What is genetic manipulation? How is it useful in agricultural practices?
Answer:
The high yield of the crops is dependent on the characteristics of their varieties. If we want to improve the crop varieties, then genes with desirable characteristics are used because only genes establish what characteristics of the plants will be, i.e., crop production will increase or decrease. Hence, a change in genes is called genetic manipulation. Today, by using this technique we have got high-quality seeds and crop production has increased the number of times. Especially farmers and gardeners have got an advantage by this technique.

Question 5.
How do storage grain losses occur?
Answer:
(A) Biotic Factors: Following biotic factors are responsible for storage losses of grain :
1. Rodents, birds, and other insects: Rats, squirrels, etc. make a loss to the cereals kept in fields, houses, and in warehouses. Loss is caused to foodgrains due to their hair, feathers, and excreta.
2. Micro-organisms: Various insects and molds change the structure of the storage even after the chemical changes and in this way they cause loss of foodgrains.
3. Insects: Various types of insects damage the raw food storage, e.g., cereals and pulses.
4. Enzymes: These are biocatalysts that are found in nerve cells. These destroy the fruits, and vegetables which are stored a long time.

(B) Abiotic Factors: Following abiotic factors are responsible in storage losses of grain:
1. Moisture: There should not be high moisture at the time of storage. Moisture in the foodgrains should not exceed 14% in relation to its weight.

At high moisture in the foodgrains:
(1) Size of the grains develop.
(2) Microorganisms and enzymes cause more activity.
(3) Possibility of insect-infection increases.
(4) Possibility of growing molds in the moist air increases.

2. Temperature: At low temperatures, enzymes, insects and other micro-organisms do not set more active. For this reason, profligate food materials are kept in cold storage.

3. Pots for storage: Pots used in storage should not be made of lead, metal or nickel because these are toxic and the possibility of toxicity in foodgrains increases.

Question 6.
How do good animal husbandry practices benefit farmers?
Answer:
Animal husbandry practices benefit farmers as follows:
(1) Farmers get milk from dairy animals (milch animals).
(2) In animal husbandry, draught animals are useful for agricultural work and carting.
(3) In animal husbandry, due to economical advantages, farmers get occupational work.
(4) Agriculture by animals provides an extra and round year income.
(5) Biogas and organic matter are prepared from the excreta of animals domesticated by the farmers.
(6) Animal husbandry provides wool, meat, skins, and bones.

Question 7.
What are the benefits of cattle farming?
Answer:
Two main benefits of cattle farming are as under:
1. To get foodstuffs:
The main objective of cattle farming is to produce food products in which the main production is of milk and meat. Furthermore, we get wool, skins and bones from cattle farming. In this way, the objective of cattle farming is related to economic reasons.

2. To get assistance in agricultural activities:
To get assistance in agricultural activities is the main second objective of cattle farming. Oxen, mule, camel, etc. are used in agricultural works such as tilling and carting. Even today low-level farmers are also dependent on animals for agricultural work.

Question 8.
For increasing production, what is common in poultry, fisheries, and bee-keeping?
Answer:
This is only the main common factor to increase the production that the varieties of organisms should be of having disease resistance efficiency, be favorable to the environment, and have high yielding capacity. The major objective for the domestication of these three organisms is to earn the money for the highest yielding. All three organisms are used in agricultural activities as well as in supplementary occupations where the farmer earns income and there is no need to devote their full time.

Question 9.
How do you differentiate between capture fishing, mariculture and aquaculture?
Answer:
Some marine fish of high economic value are farmed in seawater. It is called capture fishing mariculture. The provision of natural environment in the ponds for fish farming is called ‘aquaculture’. In ponds, fish farming is done in non-saline water or freshwater whereas in marine fisheries the fishing is done in saline water.
