Total Questions : 98 | Page 1 of 10 pages
Question 1. Roll a ball on the ground. Identify the types of motion? [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
A rolling ball moves in a straight line on the ground is a combination of rectilinear and rotational motion.
Question 2. Write the similarities and differences between the motion of a bicycle wheel and a ceiling fan that has been switched on. [5 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Similarities: 2 Marks
Differences: 3 Marks

Similarities
1) Both are undergoing rotational motion.
2) The distance of any point on the wheel or ceiling fan from the center of wheel or ceiling fan respectively will remain constant.
Differences
1) The ceiling fan is doing only rotational motion, whereas wheel is doing the translational and rotational motion.
2) The position of the center of ceiling fan does not change, whereas the position of the center of wheel changes after motion.
3) The ceiling fan is doing only one type of motion, whereas wheel is doing multiple motions at the same time.
Question 3. Arrange the following modes of transportation from the earliest to the newest ones.
  1.    Roadways, Airways, Waterways
  2.    Airways, Waterways, Roadways
  3.    Roadways, Waterways, Airways
  4.    Waterways, Roadways, Airways
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Roadways, Waterways, Airways
:
C
Roadways were the earliest mode of transportation followed by waterways and airways. The steam engine and the railroad were invented in the 19th century. Later, motorised boats and ships were developed as a means of water transport. The Wright brothers invented the aeroplane and gave the world another means of transport in the early 20th century.
Question 4. The length of your footstep can be used as a standard unit of length.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Kelvin
  4.    Cubic metre
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
The unit of length should be chosen such that it is constant and same for everyone. SInce, everyone's footstep is not same, it cannot be used as a unit of length.
Question 5. Two students measure a particular length using the same instrument one after the other. They will always estimate an equal value even if they vary the position of their eyes.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Kelvin
  4.    Cubic metre
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
They may encounter some human error, for example, parallax error. Parallax error arises when the reading is taken from random angles. It is a non-technical (human) error in which there is a difference in the readings if the readings are taken at different angles from the line of sight. Hence, to avoid this error, we must always take the readings by placing our eyes perpendicularly above the markings.
Question 6. While travelling in a train, the co-passengers appear to be in motion.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Periodic motion.
  4.    Rotational motion.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
When we see the trees from a moving train, their position is changing with respect to us. Hence, they appear to be moving. On the other hand, the position of co-passengers is not changing with respect to us, hence they appear to be stationary.
Question 7. Which invention lead to a great change in modes of transport? [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
Invention of wheel revolutionized the mode of transport.
Question 8. Classify the following into different types of motion? [5 MARKS]
1) Earth's motion around the sun
2) Earth's motion about its own axis
3) To and fro motion of a pendulum
4) Motion of the wheel of a moving cart
5) Motion of a vertically falling stone
 Discuss Question

:
Each Point: 1 Mark
1) Circular motion and periodic motion
2) Rotational motion and periodic motion
3) Periodic motion or oscillatory motion
4) Rectilinear and rotational motion
5)Rectilinear motion
Question 9. What are the different modes of transport? Give two examples for each. [5 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Different modes: 2 Marks
Example for different modes: 1 Mark each
Transport modes are the means by which people and freight achieve mobility. They fall into one of three basic types, depending on over what surface they travel – land, water, and air.
Land: train, bus, and car.
Air: Aeroplanes, Spacecraft, and Gliders.
Water: S
hips, Boats.
Question 10. SI unit of length is:
  1.    centimetre
  2.    metre
  3.    kilometre
  4.    millimetre
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> metre
:
B
TheSI base unitsare seven units of measuredefined by the International System of Unitsas the basic set from which all other unitscan be derived. The SI unit of length is metre.
