Question 3:
State an important characteristic of uniform circular motion. Name the force which brings about uniform circular motion.
Answer:
In a uniform circular motion, the speed is constant throughout the motion, but yet it is an accelerated motion. Because the direction of motion of an object undergoing uniform circular motion changes continuously. Due to that, it has a variable velocity, which results in an accelerated motion. The force responsible for changing the direction of motion of the body in a uniform circular motion is known as the centripetal force.
So, we can say that the centripetal force is the force, which brings about the uniform circular motion.

Question 4:
To take the boat away from the bank of a river, the boatman pushes the bank with an oar. Why?
Answer:
According to Newton's third law of motion, when we apply a force on some object, then in return the object applied an equal and opposite reaction force on us. Following this law, the boatman pushes the bank with an oar. The pushing of the bank with an oar is an action force applied by the boatman in order to get an equal and opposite reaction force from the bank, which helps the boat to move forward.

Question 12:
Discuss why the pesticides are used in very accurate concentration and at very appropriate time.
Answer:
Pesticides are chemical compounds which are used to kill the pests that destroy the crops. These chemical compounds are highly potent and toxic. These compounds should be used in a definite proportion because excessive concentration of pesticides can lead to the development of pesticide resistance. Moreover, the pesticides can contaminate water bodies through agricultural runoff, which increases during rainy season. Thus, it is essential to use pesticides at a specific time to minimise their harmful effects.

Why a person suffering from AIDS cannot fight even very small infections?
Answer:
Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a immunological syndrome which affects the immune system of an individual. This syndrome is caused due to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). This particular virus specifically attacks and destroys the immune cells (T-cells) of a person. The destruction of immune cells decreases the overall immunity of an individual and decreases the ability to fight small infections.

Question 15:
What is the greenhouse effect?
Answer:
Greenhouse effect can be defined as the process of gradual increase in the temperature of Earth because of the presence of gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and water vapours. These gases do not allow infra-red radiations reflected by the surface of Earth to leave the Earth. This results in an increase in the global temperature called greenhouse effect.

Question 16:
(a) Differentiate between a saturated and an unsaturated solution. How will you test whether a given solution is saturated or not?
(b) How would you prepare a saturated solution of sodium chloride in water at 25° C? What will happen if this solution is cooled to 10° C?
Answer:
(a)
| Saturated solution | Unsaturated solution |
| At a given temperature, the solution can no longer hold an additional quantity of solute. | At a given temperature, the solution can hold an additional quantity of solute. |
| They are considered as a concentrated solution, as the maximum amount of solute is dissolved in it. | They are considered as dilute solutions, as an additional amount of solute can be added in it. |
| To increase solubility, the temperature should be increased. | They do no required rise of temperature to increase the solubility. |
To test whether a given solution is saturated or not:
Add a single crystal of the solute.
(i) If the solution is unsaturated it will dissolve.
(ii) If the solution is saturated it will not dissolve.
(b) To prepare a saturated solution of sodium chloride in water at 25 °C, take 100 mL of water in a beaker and warm it up to 25 °C. Then add sodium chloride pinch by pinch at constant stirring and observe the point when no more sodium chloride is dissolving in water. At that point, the added sodium chloride will appear at the bottom of the beaker and your saturated solution is prepared.
On cooling, crystals of sodium chloride separate from the solution. This is a separation technique known as crystallization.

Question 18:
(a) State Newton's third law of motion and give two examples to illustrate the law.
​(b) Explain why, when a fireman directs a powerful stream of water on a fire from a hose pipe, the hosepipe tends to go backward.
Answer:
(a) Newton's third law says that "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". This can be understood by the two following examples:
(i) When we throw a ball to hit a wall in front of us, the ball comes back in our hands. This happens because, ball exerts a force on the wall but the wall exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball too, which brings the ball back in our hands.
(ii) Another example can be taken from walking of us on the ground. When we walk on the ground, we push the ground back by our feet, the ground applies an equal and opposite force in return that helps us to move forward.
(b) Newton's third law is applicable here. According to Newton's third law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, when the fireman directs the powerful stream of water, which is an action force, the hosepipe receives an equal and opposite reaction force. That's why hosepipe tends to move in a backward direction.

Question 24:
A stone and earth attract each other with an equal and opposite force. Why then we see only the stone falling towards the earth but not the earth rising towards the stone?
Answer:
Stone and earth attract each other with an equal and opposite gravitational force. But, the mass of the earth is very large as compared to the mass of the stone. The gravitational force acting on the earth produces a negligible acceleration in the earth due to its high mass. Whereas mass of the stone is much smaller as compared to the earth, therefore, the same force produces a considerable acceleration in the stone. That's why we are able to see a stone moving towards earth but not earth moving towards the stone.
