How do plants get nutrients?
Plants get nutrients through soil, water, and air. Plants require sixteen essential nutrients from nature for their growth and development. Soil is the major source of nutrients. Soil supplies 13 nutrients to plants and remaining three nutrients (carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen) are obtained from air and water.

Which of the following has more inertia: (a) a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? (b) a bicycle and a train? (c) a five-rupees coin and a one-rupee coin?
State the universal law of gravitation.
Which of the following are matter?
Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, cold-drink, smell of perfume.
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?
What is meant by a pure substance?
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
What are canal rays?
State any two conditions essential for good health.
How is our atmosphere different from the atmospheres on Venus and Mars?
What is immunisation?
Flash and thunder are produced simultaneously. But thunder is heard a few seconds after the flash is seen, why?
Amit buys few grams of gold at the poles as per the instruction of one of his friends. He hands over the same when he meets him at the equator. Will the friend agree with the weight of gold bought? If not, why? [Hint: The value of g is greater at the poles than at the equator.]
What is the audible range of the average human ear?
What are the various energy transformations that occur when you are riding a bicycle?
Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it? Think. Discuss this question with your friends and teacher.
If one mole of carbon atoms weighs 12 gram, what is the mass (in gram) of 1 atom of carbon?
Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory can explain the law of definite proportions?
A mass of 10 kg is at a point A on a table. It is moved to a point B. If the line joining A and B is horizontal, what is the work done on the object by the gravitational force? Explain your answer.
A 8000 kg engine pulls a train of 5 wagons, each of 2000 kg, along a horizontal track. If the engine exerts a force of 40000 N and the track offers a friction force of 5000 N, then calculate:
(a) the net accelerating force;
(b) the acceleration of the train; and
(c) the force of wagon 1 on wagon 2.
