Explain any one method of crop production which ensures high yield.
One of the methods of crop production that ensures high yield is crop rotation. This method involves growing two or more varieties of crop in the same fertile land in a sequential and seasonal order in a definite pattern. A crop utilises some particular nutrients in larger quantities from the soil and thus the soil gets enriched in this process. Therefore, crops having different nutrient requirements are rotated. For example, legumes which have nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root nodules supply the soil with nitrogen.

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?

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
