Question 61.


What is the need of standard unit for measurements? [2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Solution: 2 Marks
The International System of Units, universally known as the SI (from the French Systeme International d'Unites ) is necessary because lack of the standard unit of measurement would cause confusion and a waste of time in converting from one unit to another all the time.


Question 62.


What do you mean by multiple motions? Explain it with an example. [3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

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 a  train. Wheels of a train has both rotational and translational motion. Thus they have 2 kinds of motion, i. e. multiple motions.


Question 63.


Classify the following into different types of motion:


1)The motion of man on a straight road.


2)The motion of wheels of a car.


3)The motion of a vertically falling stone. [3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Each Point: 1 Mark
1) Rectilinear motion         


2) Circular motion         


3) Rectilinear motion


Question 64.


Discuss the significance of measurement. Give examples where you use measurement. [3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Significance of measurement: 2 Marks
Examples: 1 Mark
Measurement helps us to compare unknown quantities with the known quantities. Measurement helps us make quantitative statements about how big, how long, how fast things are. Without measurement, the final product will be full of errors. Examples:- Speedometer is used to measure the speed of the vehicles. The measuring tape is used to measure the length of anything.


Question 65.


Why is foot not used as the standard unit of length? [2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Solution: 2 Marks
The size of the foot varies from person to person. If footsteps of two persons are used to measure the length respectively, then the two distances may not be equal. Thus, a footstep is not a constant quantity. Hence, it cannot be used as a standard unit of length.


Question 66.


How can you measure the length of a curved line? [5 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

For each step: 1 Mark
Following are the steps to measure the length of a curved line:


1) First of all, we have to take a thread.


2) Now place the thread along the path of the curved surface.


3) Mark the thread at the endpoint up to which you want to measure the length.


4) Place the thread on the scale starting from zero to the marked endpoint.


5) Measure this length with the help of the scale.


Question 67.


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
Answer: Option A. ->
:

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 68.


What are the different modes of transport? Give two examples for each. [5 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

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 69.


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 70.


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 fist and 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.
