Class 9 Science - Chapter Sound NCERT Solutions | Which wave property determines (a) loud

Explain the working and application of a sonar.

Explain how sound is produced by your school bell.

Explain how defects in a metal block can be detected using ultrasound.

Distinguish between loudness and intensity of sound.

A sound wave travels at a speed of 339 m s^-1. If its wavelength is 1.5 cm, what is the frequency of the wave? Will it be audible?

Which characteristic of the sound helps you to identify your friend by his voice while sitting with others in a dark room?

A sonar device on a submarine sends out a signal and receives an echo 5 s later. Calculate the speed of sound in water if the distance of the object from the submarine is 3625 m.

Explain how the human ear works.

How is ultrasound used for cleaning?

Suppose you and your friend are on the moon. Will you be able to hear any sound produced by your friend?

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?

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?

What is the physical state of water at:

a. 250^*C              b. 100^*C ?

You find your mass to be 42 kg on a weighing machine. Is your mass more or less than 42 kg?

Two persons manage to push a motorcar of mass 1200 kg at a uniform velocity along a level road. The same motorcar can be pushed by three persons to produce an acceleration of 0.2 m s^-2. With what force does each person push the motorcar? (Assume that all persons push the motorcar with the same muscular effort.)

Draw a labelled diagram of a neuron.

A bus decreases its speed from 80 km h^-1 to 60 km h^-1 in 5 s. Find the acceleration of the bus.

A trolley, while going down an inclined plane, has an acceleration of 2 cm s^-2. What will be its velocity 3 s after the start?

Explain any one method of crop production which ensures high yield.

A person holds a bundle of hay over his head for 30 minutes and gets tired. Has he done some work or not? Justify your answer.

Convert into mole.

(a) 12 g of oxygen gas
(b) 20 g of water
(c) 22 g of carbon dioxide.

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