List any three human activities that you think would lead to air pollution.

What causes winds?

Why is the atmosphere essential for life?

Why do organisms need water?

Why is water essential for life?

We know that many human activities lead to increasing levels of pollution of the air, water-bodies and soil. Do you think that isolating these activities to specific and limited areas would help in reducing pollution?

List any three human activities which would lead to an increase in the carbon dioxide content of air.

How does the atmosphere act as a blanket?

How is our atmosphere different from the atmospheres on Venus and Mars?

You have seen weather reports on television and in newspapers. How do you think we are able to predict the weather?

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

In which of the three media, air, water or iron, does sound travel the fastest at a particular temperature?

Why are sound waves called mechanical waves?

What is the acceleration of free fall?

A motorboat starting from rest on a lake accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of 3.0 m s^-2 for 8.0 s. How far does the boat travel during this time?
