Total Questions : 98 | Page 4 of 10 pages
Question 31. Arrange the following lengths in their increasing order. [1 MARK]
1 meter, 1 centimeter, 1 kilometer, 1 millimeter
 Discuss Question

:
1 millimeter < 1 centimeter < 1 meter < 1 kilometer.
Question 32. What do you mean by multiple motions? Explain it with an example. [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Multiple Motions: 1 Mark
Explanation with example: 2 Marks
When a body possesses more than one simple motion, it is said to have multiple motions.
Example: You are traveling in atrain. Wheels of a train has both rotational and translational motion. Thus they have 2 kinds of motion, i. e. multiple motions.
Question 33. Marching of soldiers in a parade is an example of a:
  1.    rectilinear motion
  2.    circular motion
  3.    rotational motion
  4.    random motion
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> rectilinear motion
:
A
When a body is moving in a straight line, it is said to be in rectilinear motion. While marching in a parade, soldiers move in a straight line. Hence, it is an example of rectilinear motion.
Question 34. In a circular motion, the distance between the moving particle and the fixed point about which it rotates _______ with time.
  1.    increases
  2.    decreases
  3.    remains same
  4.    first increases and then decreases
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> remains same
:
C
A particle is said to be in a circular motion only when it is moving along the circumference of a circle. The radius of the circle doesn't change.The distance between the moving particle and the fixed point remains the same and is equal to the radius of the circle.
Question 35. Metric system was introduced in:
  1.    France
  2.    England
  3.    America
  4.    India
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> France
:
A
It was introducedin France.The first practical realisation of the metric system came in 1799, during the French Revolution, when the existing system of measure, which had fallen into disrepute, was temporarily replaced by a decimal system based on the kilogramand the metre.
Question 36. Pavan is using a metre scale to measure the length of a rope. Which of the following represent the most appropriate observation?
  1.    22 cm
  2.    22.0 cm
  3.    22.00 cm
  4.    0.22 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 22.0 cm
:
B
The minimum length that can be measured using ametre scale is 0.1 cm. Hence, 22.0 cm represents the most appropriate observation.
Question 37. Which of the following were units used in ancient India?
  1.    Kilometre, Metre
  2.    Mutthi, Angul
  3.    Centimetre, Metre
  4.    Foot, Yard
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Mutthi, Angul
:
B
Mutthi is the length of a fistand Angul is the length of a stretched palm. Both Angul and Mutthi were used to measure distances in ancient India. Units which we use today like metre, centimetre, foot, yard were developed much later.
Question 38. Which of the following is not a mode of transport?
  1.    Car
  2.    Train
  3.    Ship
  4.    Chair
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Chair
:
D
Modes of transport are means by which we can move people or objects from one place to another. Various modes of transport are land, air, water. We can also use engine powered vehicles such as cars, ships, trains as a mode of transport.
A chair is not a mode of transport. We use it to sit on it and rest.
Question 39. If a body is not changing its position with respect to time then it is said to be at rest.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    22.00 cm
  4.    0.22 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Motion of an object is always relative. It depends on the observer. For any observer, ifa bodyis not changing itsposition with respect totime then it is said to be at rest.
Question 40. Which of the following mode of transportation was used by early man?
  1.    Animal drawn vehicles
  2.    Steam Engine
  3.    Spacecraft
  4.    Motor Boat
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Animal drawn vehicles
:
A
Early man used animal power to pull the vehicles and plough the agriculture land. Steam engine, spacecraft and motor boat were invented muchlater.
