A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force (Fig. 11.3). Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?

How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?

In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.

sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

State any two conditions essential for good health.

During an experiment, a signal from a spaceship reached the ground station in five minutes. What was the distance of the spaceship from the ground station? The signal travels at the speed of light, that is, 3 × 10⁸ m s^-1.

How do substances like CO2 and water move in and out of the cell? Discuss.

What type of clothes should we wear in summer?

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?

What is osmosis?

Why do you fall in the forward direction when a moving bus brakes to a stop and fall backwards when it accelerates from rest?

Where are proteins synthesised inside the cell?

Who discovered cells, and how?
