STUDY QUESTIONS

Question 1.

(a) What do you understand by the term temperature?

Answer: The measure of hotness or coldness of a body is called its temperature.

(b) Name the device used in laboratory for measuring temperature of a body.

Answer: Thermometer is used in laboratory for measuring temperature of a body.

Question 2.

(a) What do you understand by area?

Answer: The amount of surface occupied by an object or place is called its area.

(b) How can you measure area of regular shape by using graph paper?

Answer: For measuring area of regular shape by using graph paper following steps will be carried out:-

  • At first put the shape on the graph paper.
  • draw the outline of the shape on graph paper.
  • Counting the boxes inside the drawn outline.
  • If the area of one box is ‘A’ unit and there are ‘n’ boxes inside the outline.
  • Then area of the shape will be = A × n unit.

Question 3. What are the standard points on a laboratory thermometer?

State their value in (a) Celsius scale (b) kelvin scale.

Answer: In a Laboratory thermometer, Range of Celsius scale is from −10∘ C to 110∘ C.

In Celsius scale the range is from 10∘ to 100∘C

In Kelvin scale the range is from 273 K to 373 K

Question 4. (a) Into how many degrees is the scale of laboratory thermometer divided on celsius scale?

Answer: The range of temperature of a laboratory thermometer is from −10∘C to 110∘C.

(b) The mercury in the common laboratory thermometer stands 2/5 of the length between the standard points, as measured from the lower standard point. What is the temperature in degree celsius?

Answer: If we take the total length of mercury in capillary tube upto the mark hundred degree centigrade.

Then the 2/5 height of Mercury will be

2/5×100° = 200/5° =40°Celsius will be the temperature.

Question 5. A celsius thermometer reads 27°C. What is the corresponding temperature on Kelvin scale?

Answer: In celsius = 27°C

In Kelvin = ?

Kelvin = °C+273

= 27 + 273

=300 K.

Question 6. Kelvin temperature is 373K . What is the corresponding temperature on celsius scale?

Answer: In kelvin = 373K

In celsius = ?

celsius + 273= Kelvin

= kelvin – 273

= 100°C

Question 7. (a) What is a clinical thermometer?

Answer: A clinical thermometer is a thermometer used to measure human body temperature. Mostly these thermometers are mercury-in-glass thermometers. They are accurate and sensitive, having a narrow place where the mercury level rises very fast.

(b) Why is this thermometer marked between 35°C and 42°C ?

Answer: The clinical thermometer has marking from 35 degree C to 42 degree C because it is designed in such a way that it can only measure the temperature of human body and the temperature of human body is always between 35 degree C to 42 degree C.

Question 8. 

(a) Draw a neat and labelled diagram of clinical thermometer.

Answer: 

(b) What conclusion can be drawn , if the temperature of a patient is (i) 40°C (ii) 35.5°C?

Answer: If the temperature of a patient is 40°C , it means that the patient has fever.

If the temperature of a patient is 35.5°C , it means that the body does not generate enough heat.

(c) Why is a clinical thermometer not sterilized in boiling water?

Answer: Generally, the range of clinical thermometer is from 95F to 110F and the boling point of water is 212F . If a clinical thermometer is sterilised by boiling water, the capillary of thermometer will burst due to thermal expansion of mercury in the capillary tube of thermometer.

Question 9.

(a) What do you understand by the term estimation?

Answer: Estimation is a quick judgement about a measurement of some particular quantity.

(b) Is estimation a reliable way of measurement ? Support your answer by two examples.

Answer: Estimation is not reliable way of measurement it can save your time but cant give an exact result.

Example-  A player while giving a pass to a fellow player in the game of hockey always estimates distance and hits the ball accordingly.

or, a fruit merchant will buy fruit orchard by estimating how much fruit he will get and so on.

(c) When do we do estimations in general and why, even when tools of measurement are available ? Support your answers with examples.

Answer: When we have to make a quick judgement and we do not have any tools to do so, we make estimation. Even we make estimations when we do have tools , because actual measurement may be time consuming.

Example: Suppose you have to drink sweetened milk, and you will add two or more spoons of sugar to it according to your taste. By just estimate the amount of sugar to be added by your sensation of taste. And you need not actually weigh out certain fixed amount of sugar.

Question 10. State the magnitude of the following quantities in SI units.

(a) Megawatt = 1000000 watts

(b) Kilometre = 1000m

(c) Metric tonne = 10 kilograms

(d) Millisecond =10-3 seconds.

Question 11. The length of a square room is 13 m. What is the floor area of the room?

Answer: Length of a square room = 13 m (side)

Area = ?

Area of a square = Side*Side

= 13*13

= 169 m2

Question 12. The length of a school compound is 450 m and breadth is 145 m. Find the area of compound in (a) m2 (b) hectares.

Answer: Given,

Lengthy = 450 m

Breadth = 145 m

Therefore, Area in m2 is = 450*145

Area in m2 is = 65250 m2

∴ in hectares area is = 6250/(100*100)

Area in hectares is = 6.52 hectares.

Question 13. A district has a length of 20 Km and breadth 17 Km. Find the area of district in (a) km2 (b)hectares.

Answer: Given,

Length = 20 km

Breadth = 17 km

Area = length * breadth

Therefore,

Area in km2 is = 20*17

Area in km2 is = 340km2

∴ in  hectares area is = 340*10*10

Area in  hectares is = 34000 hectares.

Question 14. A triangular cardboard is of base 20 cm and height from its base is 15 cm. What is the area of cardboard.

Answer: Given,

Base = 20 cm

Height = 15 cm

Area = 1/2*base*height

Therefore,

Area = 1/2*20*15

= 150 cm2

Question 15. A coin of radius 28 mm. What is the area in (a)mm2 (b) cm2 ?

Answer: Given,

radius = 28mm

value of π is = 22/7

Area = π * r2

= 22/7*28*28

∴ Area in mm2 is = 2464 mm2

whereas, Area in cm is = 22/7*28*28/(10*10) or area in mm2/(10*10)

Area in cm is = 24064 cm2
