Objective Type Questions on Physical Quantities and Measurement

Que-1: The symbol of degree celsius is :

1. °C
2. °F
3. K
4. °K

Ans-°C
Reason — The symbol of degree celsius is °C.

Que-2: 10 mm is equal to :

1. 1 cm
2. 1 m
3. 10 dm
4. 10 cm

Ans- 1 cm
Reason — As,
1 m = 100 cm      [Equation 1]
and
1 m = 1000 mm      [Equation 2]
From equation 1 and 2
100 cm = 1000 mm
⟹ 1 cm = 10 mm

Que-3: The amount of surface occupied by an object is called its :

1. volume
2. area
3. mass
4. length

Ans- area
Reason — The total surface occupied by an object is called its surface area or simply the area.

Que-4: A metre ruler is graduated in :

1. m
2. cm
3. mm
4. km

Ans- mm
Reason — A metre ruler is 1 metre long and is divided into 100 equal parts where each part is a centimetre and each centimetre is further divided into 10 equal parts where each small part is a millimetre. Thus, a metre ruler is marked in centimetre and millimetre and has a small division of 1 mm so it can measure a length correct up to 1 mm.

Que-5: A thermometer is graduated in

1. kelvin
2. °C
3. g
4. cm

Ans-°C
Reason — Mostly laboratory and clinical thermometers use °C scale for commercial purposes.

Que-6: Out of the following which one unit does not belong to S.I.?

1. Metre
2. Pound
3. Second
4. Kilogram

Ans- Pound
Reason — In S.I. system, unit of length is metre, for time it is second and for mass it is kilogram but pound is a unit of mass in FPS system.

Que-7: 1 square yard is equal to :

1. 1 yard x 1 yard
2. 1 yard × 1 square ft
3. 1 yard × 1 acre
4. none of these

Ans- 1 yard x 1 yard
Reason — 1 square yard = 1 yard x 1 yard

Que-8: 1 acre is equal to :

1. 0.09290 m²
2. 0.836 m²
3. 4046.856 m²
4. none of these

Ans- 4046.856 m²
Reason — 1 acre = 4046.856 m²

Fill in the blanks :

Que-1: The S.I. unit of length is .. …. ….. , of time is .. ….. …. , of mass is .. …… ….

Ans- The S.I. unit of length is metre , of time is second , of mass is kilogram.

Que-2: °C is the unit of … ….. …

Ans- °C is the unit of temperature.

Que-3: 1 metric tonne = ….. …… …. kg.

Ans- 1 metric tonne = 1000 kg.

Que-4: The zero mark in Celsius thermometer is the melting point of …. ……. ….

Ans- The zero mark in Celsius thermometer is the melting point of ice.

Que-5: The thermometer used to measure the human body temperature is called the …. …. …. thermometer.

Ans-  The thermometer used to measure the human body temperature is called the clinical thermometer.

Que-6: The normal temperature of human body is …… .. … °C or …. ….. .. °F.

Ans- The normal temperature of human body is 37 °C or 98.6 °F.

Que-7: The .. …… … of an object is measured with the help of a beam balance.

Ans- The mass of an object is measured with the help of a beam balance.

Write true or false for each statement :

Que-1: S.I. unit of temperature is fahrenheit.

Ans- False because S.I. unit of temperature is kelvin (K).

Que-2: Every measurement involves two things – a number and a unit.

Ans- True as a measurement needs two things :
The unit u, and
The number n which tells us how many times that unit is contained in that quantity.
Thus, a measurement is expressed as :
Measurement = n х u = nu

Que-3: Mass is the measure of quantity of matter.

Ans- True since mass of a body is the quantity of matter contained in it.

Que-4: The S.I. unit of time is hour.

Ans- False as the S.I. unit of time is second (s).

Que-5: Area can be expressed as the product of lengths of two sides.

Ans- True because area can be expressed in terms of the product of two measurements in length.

Match the following columns :

	Column A		Column B
(a)	Length of a housing plot	(i)	Clock
(b)	Breadth of a book	(ii)	Beam balance
(c)	Mass of an apple	(iii)	Thermometer
(d)	Period of time for study	(iv)	Measuring tape
(e)	Temperature of a body	(v)	Graph paper
(f)	Surface area of a leaf	(vi)	Metre ruler

Ans – (a) – (iv)
(b) – (vi)
(c) – (ii)
(d) – (i)
(e) – (iii)
(f) – (v)
