Question 51.


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 is not a standard instrument of measurement. The length of the foot may vary from person to person. So it can'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 indicate temperature of any object.
Question 52.


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 1000 m = 1 km
5924 m=59241000 km
5924 m=5.924 km
Question 53.


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 54.


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. Metre is the fundamental unit of length, kilogram is the fundamental unit of mass and kelvin is the fundamental unit of temperature.
Cubic metre is a unit of volume and is obtained from the unit of length (m).


Question 55.


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 after equal interval of time is called as periodic motion. For example, the motion of a pendulum and the motion of the Earth around the Sun can be considered as a periodic motion since it repeats itself after an equal interval of time.


Question 56.


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 57.


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 58.


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 59.


Name the type of motion in which an object moves along a straight path. [1 MARK]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
In Rectilinear or Linear motion, the object moves along a straight path.
Question 60.


Arrange the following lengths in their increasing order. [1 MARK]


1 meter, 1 centimeter, 1 kilometer, 1 millimeter


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:

1 millimeter < 1 centimeter < 1 meter < 1 kilometer.
