Question 11. According to conversion of units of measurement: 
1 mm =____ cm
  1.    10
  2.    0.1
  3.    1000
  4.    100
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 0.1
:
B
Centimetre and millimetre are the units of length, relatedas
1cm=10mm
Therefore, 1mm=0.1cm
Question 12. Find the odd one out.
Group 1: Table; Falling stone; Parked Car
Group 2: Flying Bee; Flying Butterfly; Running Cow; Sleeping Camel
  1.    G1- Table, G2- Flying Bee
  2.    G1- Parked Car, G2- Running Cow
  3.    G1- Falling Stone, G2- Sleeping Camel
  4.    G1- Parked Car, G2- Flying Butterfly
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> G1- Falling Stone, G2- Sleeping Camel
:
C
Group 1: Falling Stone is an odd one as it is moving and the other examples are at rest.
Group 2: Sleeping Camelis odd one the Camelis at rest and the other examples are in motion.
Question 13. 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 kilogramand 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 14. Which of the following is not a fundamental unit?
  1.    Metre
  2.    Kilogram
  3.    Kelvin
  4.    Cubic metre
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Cubic metre
:
D
Metre, kilogram and kelvin are fundamental units. Metreis the fundamental unit of length, kilogram is the fundamental unit of mass and kelvin is the fundamental unit of temperature.
Cubic metreis a unit of volumeand is obtainedfrom the unit of length (m).
Question 15. Which of following is the fastest means of transportation?
  1.    Roadways
  2.    Airways
  3.    Waterways
  4.    Railways
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Airways
:
B
Airways takes minimum time to travel from one place to another. Aeroplanes can travel at very high speeds and consume less time for transportation.
Question 16. According to conversion of units of measurement:
5924 m=––– 
  1.    5.924 km
  2.    59.24 km
  3.    0.5924 km
  4.    592.4 km
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 5.924 km
:
A
We know 1000m=1km
5924m=59241000km
5924m=5.924km
Question 17. Which of the following is the most suitable instrument for measuring length of a curved line?
  1.    Thermometer
  2.    Measuring cylinder
  3.    A human foot
  4.    Thread
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Thread
:
D
Foot isnot a standard instrumentof measurement. The length of the foot may vary from person to person. So itcan't be used to measure the length of a curved line.
A thread is flexible. It can be bent easily to cover the curved line. It can then be straightened on a scale to measure the length.
Measuring cylinder is used to measure volume of liquids.
Thermometer is used to measure and indicatetemperature of any object.
Question 18. A motion that repeats itself after equal intervals of time is known as:
  1.    Circular motion.
  2.    Rectilinear motion.
  3.    Periodic motion.
  4.    Rotational motion.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Periodic motion.
:
C
A motion that repeats itself afterequal interval of time is called as periodic motion. For example,themotion of a pendulum and the motion of the Earth aroundthe Suncan be considered as aperiodic motionsince it repeats itself after an equal interval of time.
Question 19. The tip of the second's hand is in a circular motion with respect to the centre of the clock.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Kelvin
  4.    Cubic metre
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
When a particle moves along the circumference of a circle it is said to be in a circular motion. The tip of the second's hand is doing circular motion as it is moving around a circular path with respect to the centre of the clock.
Question 20. Give an example for following types of motion. [3 MARKS]
1) Linear motion
2) Circular motion
3) Rotational motion
 Discuss Question

:
Each Point:1 Mark
1) Acar moving in a straight line is an example of linear motion.
2) The motion of the blades of a fan is an example of circular motion.
3) The rotation of the earth on its axis is an example of rotational motion.
