A person has a hearing range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. What are the typical wavelengths of sound waves in air corresponding to these two frequencies? Take the speed of sound in air as 344 m s^-1.

Convert into mole.

(a) 12 g of oxygen gas
(b) 20 g of water
(c) 22 g of carbon dioxide.

Abdul, while driving to school, computes the average speed for his trip to be 20 km h^-1. On his return trip along the same route, there is less traffic and the average speed is 40 km h^-1. What is the average speed for Abdul’s trip?

Why is the atmosphere essential for life?

Why is the weight of an object on the moon 1/6th its weight on the earth?

Illustrate the law of conservation of energy by discussing the energy changes which occur when we draw a pendulum bob to one side and allow it to oscillate. Why does the bob eventually come to rest? What happens to its energy eventually? Is it a violation of the law of conservation of energy?

The speed-time graph for a car is shown is Fig. 8.12.

          Fig. 8.12

(a) Find how far does the car travel in the first 4 seconds. Shade the area on the graph that represents the distance travelled by the car during the period.
(b) Which part of the graph represents uniform motion of the car?

What happens to the force between two objects, if
(i) the mass of one object is doubled?
(ii) the distance between the objects is doubled and tripled?
(iii) the masses of both objects are doubled?

Why are we normally advised to take bland and nourishing food when we are sick?

You find your mass to be 42 kg on a weighing machine. Is your mass more or less than 42 kg?

Explain the working and application of a sonar.

A sonar device on a submarine sends out a signal and receives an echo 5 s later. Calculate the speed of sound in water if the distance of the object from the submarine is 3625 m.

The mass per unit volume of a substance is called density. (density = mass/volume). Arrange the following in order of increasing density – air, exhaust from chimneys, honey, water, chalk, cotton and iron.

Cite an experiment to show that sound needs a material medium for its propagation.

Name A,B,C,D,E and F in the following diagram showing change in its state

On the basis of Thomson’s model of an atom, explain how the atom is neutral as a whole.

What are the immunisation programmes available at the nearest health centre in your locality? Which of these diseases are the major health problems in your area?

A lamp consumes 1000 J of electrical energy in 10 s. What is its power?

What are the benefits of cattle farming?

Which organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell? Why?

Explain the working and application of a sonar.
