Give two practical applications of reflection of sound waves.

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.

Which characteristic of the sound helps you to identify your friend by his voice while sitting with others in a dark room?

What would happen if the plasma membrane ruptures or breaks down?

Where do the lipids and proteins constituting the cell membrane get synthesised?

Explain how the human ear works.

With the help of Table 4.1, find out the mass number of oxygen and sulphur atom.

What is loudness of sound? What factors does it depend on?

What are the advantages of inter-cropping and crop rotation?

Soni says that the acceleration in an object could be zero even when several forces are acting on it. Do you agree with her? Why?

A racing car has a uniform acceleration of 4 m s^-2. What distance will it cover in 10 s after start?

Fig 8.11 shows the distance-time graph of three objects A,B and C. Study the graph and answer the following questions:

          Fig. 8.11

(a) Which of the three is travelling the fastest?
(b) Are all three ever at the same point on the road?
(c) How far has C travelled when B passes A?
(d) How far has B travelled by the time it passes C?
