Question 91.


Which of the following object is in motion with respect to you if you are sitting in a moving train?


  1.     Seats in the train
  2.     Light bulb of the train
  3.     Windows of the train
  4.     Trees outside the train
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Trees outside the train
:
D
An object is in motion or at rest depending on the person who is observing it.
The train and all parts of the train is at rest with respect to you because you are also part of the train. The trees outside the train are in motion as seen by you.
Question 92.


According to conversion of units of measurement:
1 m = 1000 cm


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     G1- Falling Stone, G2- Sleeping Camel
  4.     G1- Parked Car, G2- Flying Butterfly

Question 93.


Virat is given the task of measuring a rigid curved steel rod as shown in the figure.
Virat Is Given The Task Of Measuring A Rigid Curved Steel Ro...Which of the following objects should he use for getting the most accurate measurement?


  1.     Only a metre scale
  2.     A straight rod of known length
  3.     Both a metre scale and a thread
  4.     Only a thread
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Both a metre scale and a thread
:
C
Virat cannot use a metre scale or a straight rod alone, as it cannot be bent along the curve. A thread and a metre scale can be used to measure the required length as shown in the diagram below. Virat Is Given The Task Of Measuring A Rigid Curved Steel Ro...A thread is taken and aligned with the curved steel rod. The end points are marked on the thread. Next, the length of the thread between the marked points is measured by a metre scale after straightening it.
Question 94.


When seen from the ground, an apple falling from a tree is under______motion.


  1.     rectilinear
  2.     periodic
  3.     oscillatory
  4.     circular
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> rectilinear
:
A

Apple is falling straight to the ground. When a body is travelling in a straight line, the body is said to be in a state of  rectilinear motion.


Question 95.


A troop of soldiers is marching along a straight line without changing their direction. Their motion will be called as rotational motion.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     oscillatory
  4.     circular
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
When an object travels in a straight line, it is in linear motion. Here the troop of soldiers move in a straight line. So, they are in a state of linear motion.
When an object spins about an axis, it is termed as rotational motion. For example, the rotation of the Earth about its own axis.
Question 96.


Match the contents of column (I) with contents of the column (II).


(i) Unit of mass
(a) Metre
(ii) Pendulum of clock
(b) Cicular motion
(iii) Point on the blade of a rotating fan
(c) kilogram
(iv) S.I. unit of length
(d) Periodic motion

 


  1.     (I)-a (II)-b (III)-c (IV)-d
  2.     (I)-c (II)-d (III)-b (IV)-a
  3.     (I)-c (II)-b (III)-d (IV)-a
  4.     (I)-b (II)-d (III)-c (IV)-a
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (I)-c (II)-d (III)-b (IV)-a
:
B

SI unit of mass and length are kilogram and meter respectively. The pendulum of the clock repeats its motion at a fixed interval of time. This type of motion is known as periodic motion. The point on the blade of the fan undergoes circular motion.


Question 97.


The revolution of the earth around the sun is periodic.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     oscillatory
  4.     circular
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Motion that repeats itself after a fixed interval of time is known as periodic motion.
The earth takes approximately the same time, i.e. 365 days to complete one revolution around the sun. Hence, it is a periodic motion.


Question 98.


France created a standard unit of measurement in 1790. This system of measurement was known as ____.


  1.     metric system
  2.     unit system
  3.     S.I. system
  4.     cgs system
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> metric system
:
A
In 1790, the French created a standard unit of measurement called the metric system.
Metric system was first introduced in France but was widely accepted by both the world scientific community and many countries as the system of measurement.
