2. Mercury is preferred in thermometers instead of alcohol ones. ( to be
corrected). Ans. As alcohol thermometer cannot measure temperature

above 78OC.

3. Air conditioners are fitted at higher levels on the walls of the room.

get cool faster. 4. We wear woollen garments in winters.

Ans. Wool is a bad conductor of heat, air gets trapped in between the wool fibres.
Both air and wool prevent flow of heat from our body to cool surroundings and vice
versa. So, we feel warm. 5. Exhaust fans are placed near the roof in the kitchen.

Ans. The released fumes and gases, are warmer and lighter, so escapes out
through exhaust fans. Fresh air coming from outside is cooler and takes the
place of warm air rising upwards and thus, a convection current set up.

During daytime, land gets heated up faster than

sea
water. Thus, air above land surface , being
heated,
expands and rises up. The cooler air above sea
surface
blows towards the land to take its place.

LET’S PRACTICE NUMERICAL (TO BE DONE IN SCIENCE

NOTEBOOK) 1. A horse runs a distance of 500 m in 30 s. What is the

speed of the horse in: a) m/s b) km/h ?

a) Speed=Distance / Time

=500 / 30

=16.7 m/s

b) 16.7 X 3600 / 1000

=60.12 km/h
2. The distance between the two stations is 540 km. A train takes 10 hours
to cover this distance. Calculate the speed of the train.

Speed=Distance / Time
=540 / 10
=54 km/h
3. A simple pendulum takes 28 s to complete 12 oscillations. What is the time
period of the pendulum?

Time taken for 12 oscillations= 28 s

So, time taken for 1 oscillation=28 / 12
=2.3 s
4. The bob of a simple pendulum takes 0.5 seconds to go from one extreme
position to next extreme position. Calculate the time period of the pendulum.

Time taken by one oscillation=2X 0. 5s=1.0s

Therefore, Time period of the pendulum =1s
5. Given below is the distance-time graph of the motion of an object.

(i) What does the graph indicate about the motion of an object?
Non-uniform motion
(ii) What will be the distance travelled by the object in 12s?
Distance=6m
(iii) What is the speed of the object between 4 to 12 s?
Speed=Distance/Time
=6-2/12-4
=4/8
=0.5 m/s
6. A car starts from rest at 2.00 p.m. The distances covered by the car at
various instants of time are recorded as follows:

Distance(k 0 20 40 60 80
m)
 Time(pm) 2 2.30 3.00 3.30 4.00

i. Draw distance-time graph.

ii. What distance was covered by the car at 2.45 pm?

Distance=30 km

7. An express train leaves Agra railway station at 7:00 pm and reaches

Lucknow at midnight. Its speed is 80 km/h. Determine the distance
between Agra and Lucknow. Speed of train = 80 km/hr
Time taken= 5 hrs (7 pm to midnight)
So, distance between Agra and Lucknow= SX T
= 80 x 5
= 400 km.
8. Convert the given temperature to degrees Celsius.
(a) 1490F (b) 480 F
a)Using formula, C/100 = F-32/180
C/100 = 149-32/180
C/100 = 117/180
C= 117/180 X 100
 0
C= 65
b) Using formula, C/100 = F-32/180
C/100 = 48-32/180
C/100 = 16/180
C= 16/180 X 100
0
C= 8.88
9. The odometer of a car reads 350 km when the clock shows the time 12:30
pm. What is the distance moved by car, if at 1 pm, the odometer reading has
changed to 500 km? Calculate the speed of the car in km/min during this
time. Express the speed in km/hr. Initial reading = 350 km

Final reading = 500 km

Distance covered = 500 - 350 = 150 km

Time taken = 30 minutes

Speed = distance /time

= 150/30 = 5 km/min

Speed in km/hr = 5 × 60
= 300 km/hr
10. Swapna travelled by plane flying at an average speed of 600km/h. The
plane left the airport at 13:00 h and reached its destination at 15:45 h. How
far did Swapna travel?
Distance covered by plane = speed × time
Average speed =600 km/h
Time taken =15:45h −13:00h
= 2:45 h or 2 h 45 min = 2hr +3/4 hr = 11/4 hr
Distance=600× 11/4 =1650km
