What type of clothes should we wear in summer?

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

Give two reasons to justify—

(a) water at room temperature is a liquid.
(b) an iron almirah is a solid at room temperature.

Give reasons

(a) A gas fills completely the vessel in which it is kept.
(b) A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container.
(c) A wooden table should be called a solid.
(d) We can easily move our hand in air but to do the same through a solid block of wood we need a karate expert.

Suggest a method to liquefy atmospheric gases.

Give reason for the following observations.

(a) Naphthalene balls disappear with time without leaving any solid.
(b) We can get the smell of perfume sitting several metres away.

Which of the following are matter?

Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, cold-drink, smell of perfume.

Give reasons for the following observation:

The smell of hot sizzling food reaches you several metres away, but to get the smell from cold food you have to go close.

Convert the following temperature to celsius scale:

a. 300 K              b. 573 K.

Convert the following temperatures to the Kelvin scale.

(a) 25°C              (b) 373°C.

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.

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?

Who discovered cells, and how?

Why do we classify organisms?

Under what condition(s) is the magnitude of average velocity of an object equal to its average speed?

Where are proteins synthesised inside the cell?

The following is the distance-time table of an object in motion:
   Time in seconds       Distance in metres
             0                                    0
             1                                    1
             2                                    8
             3                                   27
             4                                   64
             5                                 125
             6                                 216
             7                                 343
(a) What conclusion can you draw about the acceleration? Is it constant, increasing, decreasing, or zero?
(b) What do you infer about the forces acting on the object?

Why is the cell called the structural and functional unit of life?

When will you say a body is in

(i) uniform acceleration? (ii) non-uniform acceleration?

What is immunisation?

Why is sound wave called a longitudinal wave?

For the symbol H,D and T tabulate three sub-atomic particles found in each of them.

When a sound is reflected from a distant object, an echo is produced. Let the distance between the reflecting surface and the source of sound production remains the same. Do you hear echo sound on a hotter day?
