Short-Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
What is called as a mixture? How many types of the mixture are there? Explain briefly.
Answer:
A mixture constitutes more than one substance (element/compound). A mixture can be separated by physical process into two or more two substances. Mixtures are mainly of two types:

1. Homogeneous Mixture: The mixture where composition remains constant everywhere, is called a homogeneous mixture e.g., a mixture of salt and water, a mixture of sugar and water.

2. Heterogeneous Mixture: The mixture in which physically there are different parts and each part is of different characteristics, is called a heterogeneous mixture e.g., a mixture of sodium chloride and iron peeling, a mixture of salt and sulphur and a mixture of water and oil.

Question 2.
Why is the solution of salt into water considered as a mixture but not a compound?
Answer:
Solution of salt into water is considered as a mixture but not a compound because:
(1) In salt water, salt and water can be separated by the distillation process.
(2) Saltwater displays the properties of of its both components – water and salt.
(3) Salt water has a different composition. By dissolving different quantity of salt into a definite quantity of water, salt water of different compositions can be obtained.
(4) Salt water does not have any fixed formula.

Question 3.
Give an example of such a mixture:
(i) Where both substances are compounds.
(ii) Where both element and compound are combined.
(iii) Where both are elements.
Answer:
(i) Such a mixture where both substances are compounds: On dissolving sugar in water, the syrup is formed which is a mixture in which sugar and water both are compounds.
(ii) Such a mixture where both element and compound are combined: Air is such a mixture in which oxygen and nitrogen are elements and carbon dioxide and water vapours both are compounds.
(iii) Such a mixture where both elements: Brass, copper and zinc are formed by mixing two elements.

Question 4.
What is called a solution ? Make a list of different types of solutions.
Answer:
A solution is a homogeneous mixture in which two or more two substances are there. Different types of solutions are as follows:

State of solute State of solvent Example of solution
Solid Solid Gold and silver, copper and gold, combined metals (copper, bronze).
Solid Liquid Sugar-water, salt water.
Liquid Solid Mercury in silver.
Liquid Liquid Alcohol in water.
Gas Gas Air.
Gas Liquid Oxygen dissolved in water, carbon dioxide dissolved in water.

Question 5.

Answer:
Different characteristics of the solution are as follows:
(i) Solution is a homogeneous mixture.
(ii) As molecules of solution are smaller in diameter than lnm (10-9 m), so they cannot be seen with naked eyes.
(iii) Due to their smaller size, solutions do not scatter the passing over the beam of light, thus no path of light is seen in solutions.
(iv) Particles of solute cannot be separated from the solution by the filtration method. On leaving the solution, untouched even then the particles of solute do not settle down, thus the solution is stable.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure

Question 6.
What are aqueous and non-aqueous solutions?
Answer:
Aqueous Solutions: These are those solutions which are prepared by dissolving substances into the water; like syrup and soda water etc.
Non-aqueous Solutions: These are those solutions which are prepared by dissolving apart from water in other solvents (like alcohol, acetone etc.) e.g., solution in benzene of tincture iodine nap/itfiafene.

Question 7.
Why is it not possible to identify solute and solvent particles separately in a solution?
Answer:
Particles of solute are so closely combined with a solvent that they cannot be separately identified. Solutions are homogeneous, thus the composition of solutions is uniform. If salt-solution and sugar-solution are mixed, as the result in the obtained homogeneous solutions both solutions combine with each other well and to make difference between basic solute and solvent is not possible.

Question 8.
How is the strength of a solution expressed? Explain with an example with its meaning.
Answer:
The strength of solutions is expressed in the context of the quantity of solute present in the mass or volume of a given solution or in the context of the quantity of dissolved solute in the mass or volume of a given solvent The strength of solutions can also be expressed in the form of per cent volume of solutes which give the mass of solutes in the 100 mass per unit. Its mass unit is gram.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure - 2
For example, if we take a solution of 10% glucose (C6H12O6) by mass. It contains 10 g of glucose in 100 g of solution. It can also be called in the form as 10 g of glucose in 90 g of water. If something is not said in a special manner, then the meaning of per cent in the form of mass is per cent and water is solvent in it.

Question 9.
Define saturated solution, unsaturated solution and supersaturated solution.
Answer:
Saturated Solution: When at a given temperature in a solution the extra solute that gets dissolved in it beyond its capacity, then it is called a saturated solution. In this solution, dissolved and undissolved solutes are in equilibrium together.
Unsaturated Solution: If in a solution, the quantity of a solute already present in it is less than the saturated level, then the solution is called an unsaturated solution.
Supersaturated Solution: If in a solution, the strength of the solution is more than the saturated strength, this solution is called a supersaturated solution.

Question 10.
A certain solution, in 320 g of water keeps 40 g of salt. Give the strength of solution.
Solution:
Mass of solute substance (salt) = 40 g
Mass of solvent (water) = 320 g
Mass of solution = Mass of solute substance + Mass of solution = 40g + 320 g = 360 g
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure - 3
\(\frac {40}{360}\) × 100 = 11.1%

What is called as crystallisation ? Give its two usages.
Answer:
Obtaining of pure and of definite sized pieces of a solid material from a mixture of solution is called as crystallisation. Alum, common salt, copper sulphate (blue vitrol) can be obtained in pure state through this method.To obtain crystals, firstly an impure sample is dissolved in maximum quantity in the hot liquid, then this solution is filtered and the remaining impurities are removed. This solution is let cooled down for sometime and therefore, pure solid crystals are obtained.
Minor Usages:
(i) In purifying the salt obtained from sea water.
(ii) In separation of alum from impure sample.

Question 33.
How will you prepare a big crystal from the pulverised sugar ?
Answer:
To obtain a big crystal from the pulverised sugar, prepare a solution of it in hot water. This solution is kept to cool down. Then, the solution is filtered and with the help of a thread a crystal of sugar is got suspended into this solution. The solution is left standstill in the open as usual. After a few days we notice the sugar crystal starts increasing in its size. Thus, we obtain a big crystal of sugar.

Question 34.
Why is crystallisation method considered better to common evaporation method ?
Answer:
In the following respect, crystallisation method is considered better to common evaporation method:
(i) Some solid particles breakdown or some get spoiled as sugar.
(ii) On dissolving solute material into solvent there are left behind some impurities in solution.

Question 35.
What do you understand by physical and chemical changes ? Make it clear by giving examples.
Answer:
Physical Change: These are temporary in which change takes place only in physical state. In these changes chemical changes do not occur and they can be converted into their basic state. For example, changing of water in steam, dissolving of sugar in water, dissolving of salt into water etc.
Chemical Change: These are permanent in which along with physical change chemical changes too occur. They cannot be brought back into their basic state. For example, corroding of iron, igniting of magnesium wire in presence of oxygen.

Question 42.
State briefly the method of sedimentation.
Answer:
At times, in the water from ponds or lakes the suspended particles like sand or soil particles present in the dirty water do not quickly settle down at the bottom that is, it takes times to decant them. Therefore, in order to make such particles settle down at the bottom at the earliest or to make the particles heavier in weight, alum is mixed into the water and water is decanted soon. It is called as sedimentation method. The water of pond or lake can be purified by this method.

Essay Type Questions

Question 1.
Explain the method to obtain different gases from air.
Answer:
Air is a homogeneous mixture of different gases and its components can be separated by fractional distillation. Different stages or phases of this method have been shown diagrammatically ahead:
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure - 18
For instance, if we want to obtain oxygen gas from the air (according to the figure), then we will have to isolate other gases present in the air. In order to obtain liquefied air, initially pressure is increased on the air and then by decreasing temperature and cooling it down and it is compressed. This liquefied gas is further heated up in fractionating distillating column, where all gases get separated in accordance with their boiling points at different altitudes, as it is shown in the fig. below:
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure - 19

Question 2.
Name the method applicable to separate the following mixtures respectively:
(i) Wheat grains, sugar crystals and chaff.
(ii) Rice, grams and iron powder.
(iii) Sand, phaseolies mungo (dal mash) and chaff.
(iv) Sand, camphor and iron powder.
(v) Sand, sugar and iron powder.
Answer:
(i) This mixture can be separated by more than one methods. Mixture of chaff is separated by threshing method. After that the mixture is filtered by immersing it into water. Sugar due to possessing solution quality makes solution in water and the wheat grains leaves behind on the sieve. They are got dried up. Thereafter, solution is heated up in the porcelain dish. On heating water evaporates in the form of steam and sugar leaves behind in the porcelain dish. Hence, all the three components get separated.

(ii) To separate this mixture too more than one methods are applied. Firstly, creep the magnet into the mixture, with the result the iron powder get stuck to the magnet and is got separated. Again, the remaining rice and grams can be separated by filtration method. In this method, rice will leave at the bottom and grams will come up.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure

(iii) To separate this mixture, at first chaff is separated by threshing method. Sand and phaseolies mungo will be left behind. These can be separated by filtration process.

(iv) Firstly, magnet is moved above the mixture, the iron powder gets stuck to the magnet and thus is got separated. After that, the mixture is separated by sublimation process. Camphor turns into vapours, which get deposited on the inner walls of the funnel when they cool down and sand remains behind in the vessel. Thus, all the three components get separated.

(v) The iron powder is got separated from the mixture by using the magnet. Then mixture is dissolved into water. Sugar gets dissolved in water. Thereafter it is filtered, sugar being solute goes down to the bottom in the form of solution, and the sand leaves behind on the filter-paper. Then this solution is heated up. On heating water evaporates and sugar is left behind in the container.

Question 3.
Explain water supply system in towns diagrammatically, also tell which separating methods are adopted ?
Answer:
In towns, water is supplied by water-works. A flow diagram of typical water works is shown in the figure. In these water works, by means of distillation decantation, sedimentation and filtration processes unwanted material is separated from water. In loading process, you will certainly be reminded of usage of alum. In water works, to kill the harmful germs, chlorine is used. This very’ purified water is supplied in houses through pipe-lines.

Question 4.
What is the difference between ‘distillation’ and ‘fractional distillation’ ?
Answer:
Distillation:
1. Mixture is heated upto the temperature of the component with least boiling pointfor sometime.
2. Only single component evaporates from the mixture at a time.
3. Mixture has to be heated up again and again at different temperatures.
4. The vapours formed by heating the mixture are condensed by passing them through the delivery tube.
5. Pure liquid is not obtained just at the first time.
6. On heating the mixture at different temperatures components are obtained.

Fractional distillation:
1. Mixture is heated upto the temperature of the liquid with maximum boiling point.
2. All the evaporating components of the mixture evaporate at a time.
3. Mixture is only once evaporated by heat process.
4. While heating the mixture, the steam that is formed is sent into the fractionating column.
5. Pure components are obtained just atthe first time.
6. On sending the steam of the mixture into fractionating columns, at different fractionating levels, different fractions are obtained.

Practical Work:

Experiment – 1:
Prepare two homogeneous mixtures in the laboratory.
Procedure:
(i) Take 50 ml of water in a beaker, add two spoonful of salt into it and stir the solution with a spoon. Thus, the obtained mixture will be homogeneous because in it, the particles of solute and solvent cannot be identified separately.
(ii) Take 50 ml of water in a beaker, add one spoon of sugar to it and stir it. Thus, by stirring the obtained solution will be homogeneous mixture, since, in it solute and solvent particles cannot be separately identified
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure - 21

Experiment – 2:
Prove with an experiment that solution is homogeneous.
Procedure:
Take a solution of salt and water. Filter it through filter paper and taste the filtered solution. It will be salty as before. Now, look at the filter paper. It does not have any residue. Thus, it proves that solutions are homogeneous which escape through the filter paper and leaves no residue.

Experiment- 3:
How can components of colour (dye) be separated from blue or black ink ?
Procedure:
Take a beaker half-filled with water, now keep a watch glass on its mouth as shown in the figure. Trickle down a few drops of ink on it. Now, start heating up the beaker. We don’t want to directly heat the ink. You will notice evaporation taking place in the watch glass. Heating is done constantly till evaporation. When we do not notice any further change in the watch glass, then we stop heating. Thus, a blue or black component remains left behind in the watch glass as a residue. In this process in the ink-water coloured mixture water gets evaporated by means of evaporation.

Experiment – 4:
How will you separate iodine and sand from its mixture ?
Procedure:
The mixture of iodine and sand is separated by sublimation process. In this process, the mixture is put into a porcelain dish and a separating funnel is kept on it in an inverted position. The opening of the stem of the funnel is blocked with a cotton plug. Now, this mixture is heated from at the bottom. On heating iodine directly converts into vapour state which on cooling down, gets deposited on to the inner walls of the funnel and the sand is left behind in the dish. Thereby, iodine is scratched down from the funnel. Thus, the components of mixture get separated.

Questions from Sub-section 9.1, 9.2, 9.3

Question 1.
Which of the following has more inertia:
(a) a rubber ball and a stone of same size ?
(b) a bicycle and a train ?
(c) a five-rupee coin and a one-rupee coin ?
Answer:
(a) The inertia of stone will be more, in a rubber ball and a stone of same size.
(b) In a bicycle and a train, the inertia of the train will be more.
(c) In five-rupee coin and a one-rupee coin, the inertia of five-rupee coin will be more.

Question 2.
In the following example, try to identify the number of times the velocity of the ball changes: “A football player kicks a football to another player of his team who kicks the football towards the goal. The goalkeeper of the opposite team collects the football and kicks it towards a player of his own team.” Also identify the agent supplying the force in each case.
Answer:
The velocity of the ball changes four times as explained below:
(i) When the player kicks the ball.
(ii) When the second player kicks the ball towards the goal.
(iii) When the goalkeeper collects the ball.
(iv) When the goalkeeper kicks the ball towards the player of his own team.
The agent of force in each case is the muscular effort of the respective player.

Question 3.
Explain why some of the leaves may get detached from a tree if we vigorously shake its branch ?
Answer:
When branches of a tree are shaken vigorously, the leaves get detached from the tree. This is because the branches of the tree come into motion whereas the leaves tends to remain at rest due to inertia of rest. Thus, the leaves get detached from the branches and fall down under the action of gravity.

HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion

Question 4.
Why do you fall in the forward direction when a moving bus brakes to a stop and fall backwards when it accelerates from rest ?
Answer:
When a moving bus stops suddenly, the lower part of our body in contact with the bus comes to rest immediately, whereas the upper part of the body tends to move in forward direction due to inertia of motion and we fall in the forward direction.
But, when the bus accelerates from rest, the lower part of our body comes into motion alongwith the bus but the upper part of the body has tendency to remain in the state of rest due to inertia of rest and we fall in backward direction.

Questions from Sub-section 9.4, 9.5, 9.6

Question 1.
If action is always equal to the reaction, explain how a horse can pull a cart ?
Answer:
According to third law of motion, the action is always equal to reaction. When the horse pulls the cart, it acts on earth by a force F, the earth offers it reaction R, which has two components R cos A and R sin A. The horizontal part R cos A pulls the cart in forward direction, whereas the vertical part R sin A reduces the frictional force between the road and cart. In this way, the horse can pull the cart.

Question 2.
Explain, why it is difficult for a Fireman to hold a hose, which ejects large amounts of water at a high velocity ?
Answer:
According to third law of motion, the action is always equal to reaction. When the excess water comes out of the hose with high velocity, then it recoils the hose with same amount of velocity in backward direction. Therefore, it becomes difficult for a fireman to hold a hose.

Question 3.
From a rifle of mass 4 kg, a bullet of mass 50 g is fired with an initial velocity of 35 ms-1. Calculate the initial recoil velocity of the rifle.
Solution:
Here,
Mass of the bullet (m1) = 50g = 0.05 kg
Mass of the rifle (m2) = 4 kg
The initial velocity of bullet (u1) and the initial velocity of the rifle (u2) is zero.
or u1 = u2 = 0
HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion - 1
Velocity of bullet (v,) = + 35 ms-1
The direction of bullet, from left to right is taken + ve according to figure.
Let the recoil velocity of rifle = v ms-1
The total momentum of bullet and rifle before firing = (4 + 0.05) kg x 0 ms-1 = 0
Total momentum of bullet and rifle after firing = 0.05 kg × 35 ms-1 + 4 kg x v ms-1 = (1.75 + 4 v) kg ms-1
According to the law of conservation of momentum,
Total momentum after firing = Total momentum before firing
1.75 + 4 v = 0
v = –\(\frac{-1.75}{4}\) = -0.4375 = -0.44 ms-1
Negative sign shows that rifle will recoil in the opposite direction or right to left.

Question 4.
Two objects of masses 100 g and 200 g are moving along the same line and direction with velocities of 2 ms-1 and 1 ms”1, respectively. They collide and after collision, the first object moves at a velocity of 1.67 ms”1. Determine the velocity of the second object.
Solution:
Here,
Mass of the first object (m1) = 100g = 0.1 kg
Mass of second object (m2) = 200 g = 0.2 kg
Initial velocity of first object (u1) = 2 ms-1
Initial velocity of second object (u2) = 1 ms-1
Total momentum of two objects before collision = m1u1 + m2u2
= (0.1 x 2 + 0.2 x 1) kg ms-1 = 0.4 kg ms-1
The velocity of first object after collision (v1) = 1.67 ms-1
Let, the velocity of second object after collision (v2) = v ms-1
Total momentum of two objects after collision = m1v1 + m2v2
= [0.1 x 1.67 + 0.2 x v2] kg ms-1
= [0.167 + 0.2 v2] kg ms-1
According to the law of conservation of momentum
Total momentum after collision = Total momentum before collision
0.167 + 0.2 v2 = 0.4
or 0.2v2 = 0.4 – 0.167
0.2v2 = 0.233
or v2 = \(\frac {0.233}{0.2}\) = 1.165 ms-1
The velocity of second object after collision = 1.165 ms-1

Question 1.
An object experiences a net zero external unbalanced force. Is it possible for the object to be traveling with a non-zero velocity? If yes, state the conditions that must be placed on the magnitude and direction of the velocity. If no, provide a reason.
Answer:
Here, the external unbalanced force on an object is zero. It means,
F = 0
⇒ m a = 0
But, m ≠ 0 ∴ a = 0
It is possible to move in this state, but the motion will be in the same magnitude and in one direction or straight path.

Question 2.
When a carpet is beaten with a stick, dust comes out of it. Explain.
Answer:
When a carpet is beaten with a stick, it moves forward, whereas dust particles have a tendency to remain at rest due to the inertia of rest. Thus, dust particles come out and the carpet gets clean.

Question 3.
Why is it advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope?
Answer:
It is advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope because when the moving buses or cars suddenly stop or change direction, the luggage becomes safe from falling due to inertia of motion.

According to formula, s = ut + \(\frac {1}{2}\) at2
ut + \(\frac {1}{2}\) at2 = s
0 x (20) + \(\frac {1}{2}\) a x (20)2 = 400
200 a = 400
a = \(\frac {400}{200}\) = 2 ms-2

Question 6.
A stone of 1 kg is thrown with a velocity of 20 ms-1 across the frozen surface of a lake and it comes to rest after traveling a distance of 50 ni. What i the force of friction between the stone and the ice?
Solution:
Here,
Mass of stone (m) = 1 kg
Initial velocity of stone (u) = 20 ms-1
Final velocity of stone (v) = 0
Distance covered by stone (s) = 50 m
Acceleration (a) = ?

We know that,
v2 – u2 = 2as .
a = \(\frac{v^2-u^2}{2 s}=\frac{(0)^2-(20)^2}{2(50)}\)
= \(\frac{-400}{100}\) = -4 ms-1
A negative (-ve) sign shows that acceleration is working against the motion.
The frictional force between the stone and the ice I (-4) = – 4N

Question 7.
An 8000 kg engine pulls a train of 5 wagons, each of 2000 kg, along a horizontal track. If the engine exerts a force of 40000 N and (be track offers a friction force of 5000 N, then calculate:
(a) the net accelerating force,
(b) the acceleration of the train; and
(c) the force of wagon I on wagon 2.
Solution:
Here,
The mass of train engine (m1) = 8000 kg
Mass of 5 wagons(m2) 2000kg x 5 = 10000 kg
Mass of train engine with wagons (m) = m1 + m2 = (8000 + 10000)kg = 18000 kg
The force applied by the engine on wagons (F1) = 40000 N
The friction force applied by track on wagons (F2) = 5000 N
(a) The net acceleration force (F) = F1 – F2
40000N – 5000N = 35000N

HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion

(b) The acceleration of the train (a) = \(\frac{F}{m_2}=\frac{35000}{10000}\) ms-2 = 3.5 ms-2

Here, the mass and velocity of both objects are the same, but both are moving in opposite directions, so they bend after the collision. Therefore, their combined velocity will be zero.

HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 9 Force and Laws of Motion

Question 12.
According to the third law of motion, when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with an equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside, it will probably not move. A student justifies this by answering that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other. Comment on this logic and explain why the truck does not move.
Answer:
The truck parked along the roadside will not move on applying force by us because the force applied by us is much less than the frictional force applied by the truck between the truck and the road. If our force increases to frictional force, the truck will move.

Question 13.
A hockey ball of mass 200 g traveling at 10 ms-1 is struck by a hockey stick so as to return it along its original path with a velocity at 5 ms-1. Calculate the change of momentum that occurred in the motion of the hockey ball by the force applied by the hockey stick.
Solution:
Here,
Mass of hockey ball (m) = 200 g = 0.2 kg
Initial velocity of hockey ball (v1) = 10 ms
The initial momentum of hockey ball travels in the opposite direction with velocity (v2) = 5 ms-1
Final Movemntum Of Hockey Boll = mv2
Change in momentum = mv1 – mv2 = 0.2 [10 – (-5)] = 0.2(15) = 3 kg ms-1
Thus, the change in momentum of the hockey ball is 3 kg ms-1

Question 14.
A bullet mass Logis traveling horizontally with a velocity of 150 m1 strikes a stationary wooden block and comes to at rest in 0.03 s. Calculate the distance of penetration of the bullet into the Mock. Also calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by the wooden block on the bullet.
Solution:
Here,
Mass of bullet (m) = 10g
= \(\frac {10}{1000}\) = 0.01kg
Initial velocity of bullet (u) = 150 ms-1
Final velocity of bullet (v) = 0 ms-1
Time (t) = 0.03 s
Acceleration (a) = ?
Distance (s) = ?

We know that,
a = \(\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-150}{0.03}\) ms-2 = -5000 ms-2
and s = ut + at2
= (150)(0.03) + \(\frac {π}{2}\) × (-5000) x (0.03)2
= 4,5 – 2.25 = 2.25m
Force(F) = ma
= 0.01 x (-5000)N = -50 N
The negative (-ve) sign shows that force is working in the opposite direction of motion.

Question 15.
An object mass 1 kg traveling In a straight line with a velocity of 10 ms collides with and sticks to, a stationary wooden block of mass 5 kg. Then they both move off together in the same straight line. Calculate the total momentum just before the impact and just after the Impact. Also, calculate the velocity of the combined object.
Solution:
Here,
Mass of object (m) = 1 kg
Velocity of object (v1) = 10 ms-1
∴Momentum before collision = m x v1
= 1 x 1o kg ms-1 = 1o kg ms-1
The momentum after collision = 10 kg ms-1
Combined mass of wooden block and object (m1) = 5 + 1 = 6kg
Suppose. the final velocity of object and wooden block = v2 ms-1
According to the law of conservation of momentum,
m1 v2 = 10
or 6 x v2 = 10
0r v2 = \(\frac{10}{6}\) ms-1 = \(\frac{10}{6}\) ms-1

Time(t) = 6s
Initial momentum = mu = 100 x 5 = 500 kg ms-1
Final momentum = mv = 100 x 8 = 800 kg ms-1
We know that,
a = \(\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{8-5}{6}=\frac{3}{6}\) = 0.5 ms-2
The magnitude of the force (F) = m x a
= l00 x 0.5N = 1.50 N

Question 17.
Akhtar, ((Iran and Rbul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an expressway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the windscreen. Akhtar and Kiran started pondering over the situation. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum as compared to the change in momentum of the motorca (because the change in the velocity of the Insect was much more than that of the motorcar). Akhtar said that since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. And as a result the insect died. Rahul while putting an entirely new explanation said that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and a change In their momentum. Comment on these suggestions.
Answer:
Akhtar was right because both the velocity and mass of the motorcar were moveso the momentum of the motorcar was more than that of flying insect. Therefore, the motorcar imposed much force on flying insect due to the insect died.

Short-Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
How has the classification of matter been done in ancient period in context with the modern science?
Answer:
Classification of matter:
(1) In ancient times, the ancient philosophers had the concept that matter is composed of five basic elements i.e.,
(i) air
(ii) earth
(iii) fire
(iv) water
(v) sky (all were said to be Panch Tatvas)
all the living or non-living things according to them were bom out of these five elements, whereas the Greek Philosophers are of the view that there have been only four elements in all i.e.,
(i) air
(ii) earth
(iii) fire and
(iv) water.
(2) The modem scientists on the other hand, on the bases of physical properties and chemical nature have classified matter into two kinds.

Question 2.
How is the classification of matter done according to the physical properties?
Answer:
According to physical properties matter are divided into three categories:
1. Solids: Solids are completely incompressible, of definite shape and volume; like stone, wood, iron, ice, salt, sugar, etc.
2. Liquids: Liquids are comparatively less incompressible. They have a definite volume but have an indefinite shape like water, kerosene, spirit, petrol, milk, etc.
3. Gases: Gas is an excessively compressible fluid. Its volume and shape is indefinite which means the gas of a given quantity can be filled in any container of any shape like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapours, methane, etc.

Clarify your answer with suitable examples that the properties of all the liquid matter do not resemble one another.
Answer:
The following examples make it clear that the properties of all the liquid matter do not resemble with one another:
(1) Some liquids have low ignition point like petrol, but there are yet certain liquids which do not catch fire like water.
(2) Some liquids are comparatively heavier in weight like mercury. Some liquids are not too heavier like kerosene oil.
(3) Some liquids flow’ quickly like water. Some liquids flow slowly, for example, molten sugar and honey.
(4) Some liquids have the property to saturate salt, sugar, etc. in them. Some liquids cannot saturate these in them like mustard oil.

(6) Some liquids evaporate earlier like spirit. Some liquids evaporate later like turpentine oil.

Question 8.
Compare the intermolecular force in molecules or atoms in solids, liquids and gases.
Answer:
In solids, molecules or atoms are densely and compactly arranged and they are tied up with one another by means of force of attraction whereas in liquids, atoms or molecules are thinly and loosely arranged. In solids, molecules or atoms oscillate about their respective positions, while in liquids, molecules or atoms can move about here and there within their fixed path. In gases, molecules or atoms are quite far away from one another and they move randomly. These molecules or atoms are free to move about within maximum space.

Question 9.
Clarify the reason of generating of pressure in gases.
Answer:
Since in a gaseous state, the motion of molecules is free at all. they can move about in a container, they can collide with one another and also, with the walls of the container. Due to the regular collision of them against the walls, a definite force gets produced. Consequently, pressure is generated in gases.

Question 10.
When we turn ice into water by heating process and further convert water into steam by heating it up, then what differences do we observe in the compactness of the molecules of water ?
Answer:
Ice is a solid substance and its molecules are associated with one another due to the force of cohesion. On heating ice, its molecules get active and start moving on receiving energy with the result, their force of cohesion gets loosened and molecules start flowing that means the solid ice forms the shape of liquid. When water is heated up the random speed of molecules speeds up very much and they generally leave apart from one another to a great extent and become free to move about that is, their intermolecular force weakens too much, such a state of water is said to be steam (gas).

Question 13.
The shape of a rubber band can be changed by stretching it, but even then it is not considered as a solid, why ?
Answer:
The shape of the rubber band can be changed by stretching it, but even then it is not considered as a solid, it is because of the reason that on applying external force the rubber band changes its shape and on the removal of the external force it again retains its original shape, whereas it breaks up if the applied force is beyond a limit.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings

Question 14.
Sugar and salt form the shape exactly of the vessels of different shapes in which they are kept, but still they are considered as solids, why ?
Answer:
Sugar and salt form the shape of the vessels of different shapes in which they are kept, but still they are considered as solids, it is because the shape of their crystals do not change.

Question 15.
A sponge, even being a solid gets compressed, why?
Answer:
Even being a solid, a sponge gets compressed, it is because the sponge consists of small pores in it, which keep trapped air in them. When we press or compress it, the air escapes out from these pores and the sponge gets compressed.

Question 16.
In fluids, diffusion of three states (solid, liquid and gas) is possible, why?
Answer:
In fluids, diffusion of solids, liquids and gases is possible. In liquids the diffusion rate is comparatively higher, in a liquid state, the molecules of a substance move freely and in comparison to solids, the molecules of liquids occupy more vacant space.

Question 17.
The temperature remains equal when a solid undergoes the process of melting, where does the heat energy go during the process?
Answer:
During the melting process any solid (like ice), on reaching the melting point, till the solid melts as a whole, the temperature does not change. Despite providing heat to the beaker, it happens so. By bringing under control the intermolecular force of the molecules, while in changing the state of the matter this heat energy is utilised, because without indicating any increase in the temperature, this heat energy is absorbed by the solid (ice), this thing is assumed that it remains hidden in the material of the beaker, which is called latent heat. At atmospheric pressure, the amount of heat energy that is required to convert 1 kg of solid at its melting point into liquid, is called dormant heat energy of melting, at 0° centigrade (273 K) the energy of the molecules of water is more than that of the molecules of ice at a similar temperature.

Question 18.
Convert the following Celsius measures into Kelvin measuring sequence:
-273°C; -100°C; -40°C; 30°C; 2000°C
Answer:
We know that K = °C + 273
Therefore,
(i) -273°C = -273 + 273 = 0 K
(ii) -100°C = -100 + 273 = 173K
(iii) – 40°C = – 40 + 273 = 233 K
(iv) 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303 K
(v) 2000°C = 2000 + 273 = 2273

Question 19.
Air, at 82 K temperature changes into liquid and at 61K temperature, converts into solid Convert these temperatures in Celsius measuring sequence:
Answer:
We know that
(i) While keeping K = 82
K = °C + 273
82 = °C + 273
⇒ °C = 82 – 273 -191
So, the temperature of the liquefied air = 82 K = -191°C

(ii) Assuming K = 61
61 = °C + 273
⇒ °C = 61 – 273 = -212
So, the temperature of solidified air = 61 K = – 212°C

Question 20.
Why is ice, with a temperature 0°C more effective for cooling than water at 0°C ?
Answer:
We know, the dormant heat energy of melting of ice is 335 J/g. Therefore, ice with 0°C does have comparatively more heat than water at 0°C. Hence, ice with 0PC is more effective than the water with 0°C for cooling.

Question .21.
Why does our body feel cooler in the Himalayan region during winters?
Answer:
In the Himalayan region during winters, the temperature of environment drops below 0°C, whereas the normal temperature of our body used to be 37°C or 98.6° F. Just because of this drastic difference in temperature we feel more chilled in those regions during winters. Covering the body with woollen clothes the inner heat of the body gets maintained and the low temperature outside does not affect our body.

Question 22.
What is meant by evaporation and boiling ?
Answer:
Evaporation: During this process the liquid converts into water vapours before it gets boiled. Evaporation generally occurs on the outer surface of a liquid at all temperatures.

Boiling: When the pressure of any liquids surface equalises the atmospheric pressure, then the liquid starts converting into vapours. This process is called the boiling of a liquid.

Question 23.
Why do the wet clothes dry up sooner if they are spread out ?
Answer:
The speed of evaporation depends upon the surface of the wet article. When the wet clothes are spread out to dry up, the size of the wet surface area gets increased with that evaporation takes place fastly. For that reason the wet clothes dry up earlier when they are spread out and put to dry.

Question 24.
When during winters the water in the tank thaws, then how the fishes living in the tank survive ?
Answer:
During chilly winter days the water in the tank thaws at 0°C into ice, but in this process, only the outer layer of the water surface freezes and the water below to that layer does not thaw. Due to this non-uniform expansion when water is cooled down below 4°C temperature, it instead of contracting expands up to 0°C. For that reason, water thaws into lighter ice and ice start floating on the water. The fish found in such water and the other aquatic animals move to the liquid water below to ice and they survive there.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings - 2

Question 25.
Where do water vapours come from in the atmosphere?
Answer:
When we put wet clothes in the sun, they dry up sooner. The water present in the fibres of the clothes on evaporating becomes a part of the atmosphere. Similarly, water evaporates in a huge quantity from lakes, rivers and oceans Air cannot sustain water vapours at a given temperature more than a fixed amount. When there is the maximum amount of water vapours in air, the air is said to be quenched.

Question 26.
Why do people sprinkle water on floor and roofs during summers ?
Answer:
People sprinkle water on floor and roofs during summer because water evaporates for which it gets heat from the floor and the roof and thereby keeps them cool. Therefore to keep floor and roofs cool, people sprinkle water on them in summer.

7. This process depends upon all these things.
8. In this process, bubbles are not produced.

Question 2.
On what factors does the process of evaporation depend ?
Answer:
The process of evaporation is affected by the following factors:
(1) On being the air become dr}’, the evaporation process goes rapidly.
(2) Also, due to fast speed of wind the process of evaporation speeds up.
(3) Even when the base of the liquid is open the process of evaporation will take place randomly.
(4) With the increase in the temperature of the liquid evaporation process will be faster.
(5) If the temperature of air increases the speed of the evaporation process will be rapid.
(6) In more volatile liquids like spirit, petrol, etc. evaporation takes place quickly.
(7) Due to low pressure evaporation process accelerates.

Question 3.
Why does coolness occur with the evaporation of water ? Give some of its uses in our daily life.
Answer:
Coolness occurs due to evaporation, because when water evaporates, it needs latent heat energy of evaporation. This heat can be obtained from that substance which is in the contact of water, thus that substance becomes somewhat cool.

Uses of Evaporation in Daily Life:
(1) Water remains cool in an earthen pot, but not in a bucket, because there are pores in the pot. Water seeps out of them and it evaporates which produces coolness. Thus, water remains cool.
(2) During summer the trees bear more leaves and from the stomata of these leaves evaporation takes place, as a result coolness produces and the trees remain cool.
(3) During perspiration, fanning brings the sensation of coolness, because by fanning the sweat evaporates which produces coolness. For evaporation of sweat, heat is obtained from the body itself.
(4) On sprinkling water on the ground there is coolness for when evaporation of water takes place, then it gains heat from the earth, so the earth becomes cool.
(5) After bathing we feel cool, it is because the body is wet. The evaporation of water takes place and for evaporation, heat is obtained from the body, hence we feel cold.

Practical Work

Experiment 1:
Prove through an activity that matter are composed of molecules and molecules have vacant space or gap in between them.

Procedure:
Take a graduated measuring cylinder. Fill % part of it with water and note down the surface level. Now add some sugar to it and note down its surface level. You will notice that the surface level of water has increased somewhat.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings - 4
Now, stir well sugar in the water. Sugar will dissolve in water and the surface level of water will again reduce. This proves, that there is gap between molecules of water. While stirring the molecules of sugar-filled up that vacant space, consequently, the water level inside the cylinder was reduced. Since matter is composed of molecules, hence sugar got dissolved in the whole of the water.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings

Experiment 2:
Prove experimentally, the molecules of matter are so small in size, that we cannot even imagine.

Procedure:
Take a beaker, add 100 ml of water in it. Add two or three crystals of potassium permanganate and dissolve. Draw out approximately 10 ml of solution from the beaker, add 90 ml of pure water to it. Again draw out 10 ml of solution and add 90 ml of pure water to it. Repeat this process 5 to 8 times. You will notice, the water will still remain coloured. This experiment shows that with very small amount of crystals of potassium permanganate, the huge amount of water (1000 litres) too becomes coloured. Thus, we come to the conclusion that just one crystal of potassium permanganate will have a number of minute molecules. They are so minute that we cannot even imagine.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings - 5

Experiment 3:
Prove experimentally that diffusion takes place more rapidly in gases than in liquids. Procedure: Make a preparation of concentrated film by adding a spoonful of potassium permanganate in 100 ml of water. Keep this solution in the beaker. Now, keep the beaker in a little bit tilted position and add 100 ml of water to it. While adding water to the beaker, be careful that the water should flow down along the wall of the beaker in such a way, so that the concentrated solution of potassium permanganate remains undisturbed. After some time you will observe two layers are formed separately which are quite clear.

HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings

Nevertheless, you will see the water gradually flowing into coloured film and the coloured film gradually flowing into water. After some time both the layers will not be seen isolated quite clearly. Note down the tune taken by both the layers to mix up with each other. Now, light a candle in one of the comers in your classroom. You stand far away at the other comer. Now, ask one of your friends to light a few incense sticks. You will very soon experience the fragrance of the incense sticks. Note down the time taken right from the time of lighting of the incense sticks, till the time taken by fragrance to reach to you. We will notice that in the latter stage total time taken was very less than that in the former stage. It proves that in gases diffusion was more rapid than in the liquids.

Experiment 4:
Illustrate experimentally, what effect does pressure have on solids, liquids and gases.

Procedure:
Take a syringe of 100 ml volume. Insert its needle (nozzle) into a rubber cork and close it up, as shown in the figure. Take away the piston and let air fill completely inside the syringe. Now, insert the piston back into the syringe carefully and make sure there is no leakage around the ends of the syringe. It would be better to apply a little bit of vaseline on the piston. Now, try to compress the air. You will notice that air will be compressed.
HBSE 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings - 6

Now, fill the syringe with water and again repeat the same process. In the experiment done with water you will notice in water, compression is comparatively less than in the first one. Now, repeat the same experiment with piece of chalk in place of water, there will be no compressibility. On the bases of this experiment, we can say gases have maximum effect of pressure, liquids have lesser than that and on solids, it is almost negligible; that is, gases are the most compressible.

Experiment 5:
Experimentally show that with the change in temperature, the state of matter changes.

Procedure:
Take a piece of ice of 150 gm in a beaker and according to the figure hang the thermometer used in the laboratory into it such that the bulb of the thermometer should touch the ice. Start heating the beaker on mild flame. When the ice starts melting, then note down the temperature.
(1) When the whole of the ice change into water, then again note down the temperature.
(2) Note down the downfall in temperature in the change of solid into a liquid state.
(3) Now, place a glass rod into the beaker and heat it while stirring, till the water boils.
(4) Keep a constant eye on the degree of temperature in the thermometer, till most of the water converts into water vapours.
(5) Note down the drop in temperature right from the conversion of water in a liquid state into the gaseous state

Experiment 6:
Experimentally show that ammonium chloride is a sublime substance.

Procedure:
Take a small amount of powdered ammonium chloride in a dish. Place a funnel in an inverted position on this dish. Insert a cotton plug into the mouth of the stem of the funnel as shown in the figure. Now gently heat the dish carefully. We will notice, that ammonium chloride, without getting converted into a liquid state gets converted directly from a solid state to a gaseous state and gets deposited on the walls of the funnel. This proves that ammonium chloride is a sublime substance.

HBSE 9th Class Science Improvement in Food Resources Textbook Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Explain any one method of crop production which ensures high yield.
Answer:
One way of incorporating desirable characters into crop varieties is by hybridization. Hybridization is the mating or crossing of genetically different plants. The progeny resulting from hybridization is known as a hybrid. Hybridization refers to crossing between genetically dissimilar plants. This crossing may be intervarietal (between different varieties), interspecific (between two different species of the same genus), or intergeneric (between different genera). Another way of improving the crop is by introducing a gene that would provide the desired characteristics. This results in genetically modified crops.

Question 2.
Why are manures and fertilizers used in fields?
Answer:
Manures and fertilizers have macro-nutrients. There is a lack of nutrients in the soil as crops absorb nutrients from the soil continuously. Manures and fertilizers are mixed in the fields to fulfill the loss of nutrients. The land proves to be barren and the fertility of the land decreases if we do not fulfill the loss. The loss of these nutrients can also be completed by crop rotation.

Question 3.
What are the advantages of intercropping and crop rotation?
Answer:
The following are the advantages of intercropping and crop rotation:
(1) It maintains the fertility of the land. It does not become barren.
(2) Two or more crops can be grown in a year with good harvests.
(3.) Weeds and insects are destroyed.
(4) With the increase of production, farmers’ income also increases.
(5) Threat of unsuccessful crop production also decreases.

Question 4.
What is genetic manipulation? How is it useful in agricultural practices?
Answer:
The high yield of the crops is dependent on the characteristics of their varieties. If we want to improve the crop varieties, then genes with desirable characteristics are used because only genes establish what characteristics of the plants will be, i.e., crop production will increase or decrease. Hence, a change in genes is called genetic manipulation. Today, by using this technique we have got high-quality seeds and crop production has increased the number of times. Especially farmers and gardeners have got an advantage by this technique.

HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 15 Improvement in Food Resources

Question 5.
How do storage grain losses occur?
Answer:
(A) Biotic Factors: Following biotic factors are responsible for storage losses of grain :
1. Rodents, birds, and other insects: Rats, squirrels, etc. make a loss to the cereals kept in fields, houses, and in warehouses. Loss is caused to foodgrains due to their hair, feathers, and excreta.
2. Micro-organisms: Various insects and molds change the structure of the storage even after the chemical changes and in this way they cause loss of foodgrains.
3. Insects: Various types of insects damage the raw food storage, e.g., cereals and pulses.
4. Enzymes: These are biocatalysts that are found in nerve cells. These destroy the fruits, and vegetables which are stored a long time.

(B) Abiotic Factors: Following abiotic factors are responsible in storage losses of grain:
1. Moisture: There should not be high moisture at the time of storage. Moisture in the foodgrains should not exceed 14% in relation to its weight.

At high moisture in the foodgrains:
(1) Size of the grains develop.
(2) Microorganisms and enzymes cause more activity.
(3) Possibility of insect-infection increases.
(4) Possibility of growing molds in the moist air increases.

2. Temperature: At low temperatures, enzymes, insects and other micro-organisms do not set more active. For this reason, profligate food materials are kept in cold storage.

3. Pots for storage: Pots used in storage should not be made of lead, metal or nickel because these are toxic and the possibility of toxicity in foodgrains increases.

Question 6.
How do good animal husbandry practices benefit farmers?
Answer:
Animal husbandry practices benefit farmers as follows:
(1) Farmers get milk from dairy animals (milch animals).
(2) In animal husbandry, draught animals are useful for agricultural work and carting.
(3) In animal husbandry, due to economical advantages, farmers get occupational work.
(4) Agriculture by animals provides an extra and round year income.
(5) Biogas and organic matter are prepared from the excreta of animals domesticated by the farmers.
(6) Animal husbandry provides wool, meat, skins, and bones.

Question 7.
What are the benefits of cattle farming?
Answer:
Two main benefits of cattle farming are as under:
1. To get foodstuffs:
The main objective of cattle farming is to produce food products in which the main production is of milk and meat. Furthermore, we get wool, skins and bones from cattle farming. In this way, the objective of cattle farming is related to economic reasons.

2. To get assistance in agricultural activities:
To get assistance in agricultural activities is the main second objective of cattle farming. Oxen, mule, camel, etc. are used in agricultural works such as tilling and carting. Even today low-level farmers are also dependent on animals for agricultural work.

Question 8.
For increasing production, what is common in poultry, fisheries, and bee-keeping?
Answer:
This is only the main common factor to increase the production that the varieties of organisms should be of having disease resistance efficiency, be favorable to the environment, and have high yielding capacity. The major objective for the domestication of these three organisms is to earn the money for the highest yielding. All three organisms are used in agricultural activities as well as in supplementary occupations where the farmer earns income and there is no need to devote their full time.

Question 9.
How do you differentiate between capture fishing, mariculture and aquaculture?
Answer:
Some marine fish of high economic value are farmed in seawater. It is called capture fishing mariculture. The provision of natural environment in the ponds for fish farming is called ‘aquaculture’. In ponds, fish farming is done in non-saline water or freshwater whereas in marine fisheries the fishing is done in saline water.

Sewage waste is mostly dumped into water resources (rivers, canals, lakes) which causes water pollution. Sewage excreta of metropolitan cities and towns situated on the banks of rivers is being dumped into rivers directly. Likewise, half burnt or unburnt dead bodies are thrown in the water of the Ganga by the habitats of the banks of Ganga due to which the water of Ganga is being polluted.

Questions from Sub-section 14.3

Question 1.
How is soil formed?
Answer:
Soil is formed by the breaking and grinding-rubbing of rocks. Soil is formed by the mixing of small pieces of rocks, fresh and decomposition of leaves, dead decayed remains of organisms and sand particles etc. The formation of topsoil of the earth takes a minimum 300 to 800 years. Soil formation is a continuous process.

Question 2.
What is soil erosion?
Answer:
Cutting or flowing away of the soil by any of the reasons is called soil erosion. Soil erosion may take place by various reasons, for example:
1. Flood: Flood is the main reason of soil erosion by which soil flows away from one place to another.
2. Fast Winds: The second main reason of soil erosion is the fast-blowing winds.
3. Deforestation: Deforestation is on high scale due to growing population and industrialisation by which soil erosion increases.
4. Uncontrolled and Overgrazing: Uncontrolled and overgrazing increases soil erosion.
5. Unscientific Techniques of Agriculture: Mostly farmers use to grow one variety of crops continuously in the fields by which fertility of soil decreases and soil erosion increases.
6. Deeper Cultivation of the Land: Soil erosion increases due to deeper cultivation of the land for farming.

HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 14 Natural Resources

Question 3.
What are the methods of preventing or reducing soil erosion?
Answer:
Following are the methods to prevent soil erosion:
1. By Growing Grass: Leaves and roots of grass retard the flow of water by which soil particles may not be flown by water.
2. By Levelling the Fields: By distributing the tapered land into small levelled pieces for agriculture, the flow of water is checked by which cutting of land is also prevented.
3. By Growing Trees: Roots of the trees bind the soil by which water cannot flow away the soil.
4. Better Techniques of Farming: In spite of ploughing in the sloping direction, if ploughing is being done in left-right sides of the field, then flow of water decreases, and erosion of soil is checked.
5. By Making Small Dams: Small dams constructed on slopes decrease the flow of fast-moving water
and soil erosion is stopped.
6. By Making Ladder-type Field: In hilly areas, farming should be done by making steps opposite to
slope.
7. By Using Manure: Use of manure in field increases the water retention efficiency of the soil by which soil erosion is checked.
8. By Fixing Air-protectors: Where the land is sandy and winds flow fast, there plants should be grown profusely around the field, i.e., fast winds may not flow away the soil particles.
9. By Making High Fences: Fences of the fields should be high because the water of field will not flow out and cutting of land is not possible.
10. By Growing Particular Crops : Soil erosion can be decreased by growing particular crops such as groundnut.

Terrestrial organisms require freshwater to survive. Water is a living place at a lot of organisms.

Question 3.
How are living organisms dependent on the soil ? Are organisms that live in water totally independent of soil as a resource?
Answer:
Soil is the base of life. All living organisms are dependent on soil directly or indirectly. Plants get nutrients from the soil in which main are water and minerals and all animals are dependent on plants. Animals get food and oxygen to respire from plants. Life of living organisms is not possible without plants and plants cannot survive without soil. Aquatic animals are also dependent on soil because they fulfil their requirements from plants.

Question 4.
You have seen weather reports on television and in newspapers. How do you think we are able to predict the weather?
Answer:
Yes, we are able to predict the weather. By collecting the data through artificial satellites established in earth orbit, it is very easy to predict the forthcoming weather. After each half an hour reports and photographs are collected by INSAT-IB. Through these photographs, prediction is relayed which prove to be very useful.

Question 5.
We know that many human activities lead to increasing levels of pollution of the air, water bodies and soil. Do you think that isolating these activities to specific and limited areas would help in reducing pollution?
Answer:
Yes, isolating these activities to specific and limited areas would help in reducing pollution, e.g.,
(i) Air pollution will decrease by running the vehicles based on solar system batteries rather then fossil fue/ petroleum.
(ii) These will be a check on pollution if cooking of food, heating of water, etc. are done by the use of solar energy in place of coal, L.P.G., etc. fuels in houses.
(iii) These will be a check on soil pollution by using compost manure in the agricultural field rather than chemical fertilizers.
(iv) The water pollution will be decreased by using useful substances in the treatment plants inspite of throwing the industrial waste directly in the water bodies.

Question 6.
Write a note on how forests influence the quality of our air, soil and water resources.
Answer:
Forests are the main components in environmental balance. Forests equalize the formation (78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen) of air. This balance is disturbed by deforestation. Temperature increases with the increase of C02 and the content of condensed particles in air while the air becomes, dust free, pure and cool by the deep forestation. Forest decreases pollution. Forests help in maintaining the quality of soil by increasing its fertility and also preventing soil erosion. By deforestation land becomes barren. The temperature of the environment increases. Rains are excess by excess forestation. Water level increases in water bodies and makes the availability of useful fresh water in large quantities. Therefore, forests are helpful in improving the quality of air, soil and water resources.

Question 2.
What are the different means by which infectious diseases are spread?
Answer:
Infectious diseases spread through the following methods:
1. Through ai: Many disease particles spread in the air due to sneezing, coughing, talking, spitting or defecating. When a healthy person breathes in the air containing these disease particles, the person catches the disease.

2. Through water: Pathogens of cholera, tuberculosis etc., get mixed in drinking water and enter the body. The disease spreads by washing utensils or vegetables and fruits in polluted water. It also spreads when the clothes of an infected person are washed near a source of water or he defecates near it.

3. Through food:
Pathogens present in foodstuffs also enter the body and make the person infected. It is harmful to take stale or cold food.

4. Individual contact:
Coming in contact with the patient’s clothes, bedding, utensils, towel or directly with the patient also transmits the pathogens.

5. Through animals: Some animals like houseflies, mosquitoes, mice etc., also play the role of vectors. By polluting food the pathogens are left there which ultimately enter the human body. Malaria is spread by mosquito bite while cholera spreads through houseflies and plague through mice.

Question 3.

Every person can suffer from a minor or major diseases at any time. Hardly a few persons can be there who do not develop any disease, but even then due to some reasons health can be affected. I also fell ill in the last year. I had suffered from malaria.
(i) Different safety measures can be adopted to get rid of malaria. It can be avoided by filling the pits and landfills around our neighbourhood with soil and sand, drain blockage should be removed, water should be drained out from the flower pots, desert cooler-tanks and empty vessels in our houses, at night net and mosquito repellent cream should be applied to the skin. The doors and windows in the houses should be equipped with wire-gauze.

(ii) The growth of mosquitoes can be checked by keeping our surroundings clean and tidy pits and drains must not be let overflow or choked with stagnant water. Unwanted bushes or weeds should be destroyed.

Question 4.
A baby is not able to tell her/his caretakers that she/he is sick. What would help us to find out
(a) that the baby is sick?
(b) what is the sickness?
Answer:
(a) If a baby is not able to tell his/her caretaker that he/she is sick then body symptoms should be observed by the caretaker. The caretaker should take the baby to the doctor, if she or he finds a clue that the baby is sick. Some symptoms that can be observed are :
1. If the baby cries continuously.
2. If the baby doesn’t want to eat anything.
3. If the baby feels irritated all the time.

(b) Kind of sickness can be known by certain symptoms e.g. yellowness of skin and eyes, redness in eye may indicate conjunctivitis.

Question 5.
Under which of the following conditions is a person most likely to fall sick?
(a) when she is recovering from malaria.
(b) when she has recovered from malaria and is taking care of someone suffering from chicken pox.
(c) when she is on a four-day fast after recovering from malaria and is taking care of someone suffering from chicken pox. Why?
Answer:
A person is most likely to fall sick when she is on a four-day fast after recovering from malaria and is taking care of someone suffering from chicken pox. This is because since she has suffered from malaria and is in the recovery phase, it means that she is still not completely disease-free. Her chances of getting chicken pox are also high as her body has lowered.

Question 6.
Under which of the following conditions are you most likely to fall sick?
(a) when you are taking examinations.
(b) when you have travelled by bus and train for two days.
(c) when your friend is suffering from measles. Why?
Answer:
(a) I am most likely to fall sick when my friend is suffering from measles. Measles is a viral infection. It is a contagious disease. It spreads through contact with infected mucus and saliva. The virus can sustain for several hours. Even coming in contact or sharing items with an infected person results in the spread of disease.

HBSE 9th Class Science Sound Textbook Questions and Answers

Question 1.
What is sound and how is it produced?
Answer:
Sound:
It is a form of energy that produces a sensation of hearing. Sound is produced by any vibrating material body. For example. the sound of the human voice is produced due to vibrations in the vocal cords. The strings of trumpets and shehnais vibrate when they are played. The vibration is also produced when the bell is rung. The vibration in bell can be felt by touching it. In this way sound is produced.

Question 2.
Describe with the help of a diagram, how compressions and rarefactions are produced in air near a source of the sound.
Answer:
When a vibrating object moves forward, it pushes and compresses the air in front of it creating a region of high pressure which is called compression (C). This compression starts to move away from the vibrating object. When the vibrating object moves backward, it creates a region of low pressure called rarefaction (R). Thus, due to the vibration of an object, a series of compressions and rarefactions is created in the air. These make the sound wave that propagates through the medium.

HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Sound - 1

Question 3.
Cite an experiment to show that sound needs a material medium for its propagation.
Answer:
Sound is a mechanical wave. It requires a material medium for propagation. ¡t can
be proved by the following experiment:
Experiment:
Take an electric bell and an airtight glass bell jar. The electric bell is suspended inside the airtight bell jar. Connect the bell jar to a vacuum pump. Switch on the bell. The sound of bell is heard. Now pump out the air of bell jar by vacuum pump gradually. The sound becomes fainter. When there is full vacuum in bell jar, the sound of bell will not be heard. Thus, the experiment proves that sound cannot travel in vacuum. Sound need a material medium to travel. The air was the medium in bell jar so the sound of the electric bell was being heard.
HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Sound - 2

Question 4.
Why is a sound wave called a longitudinal wave?
Answer:
In sound waves, the individual particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the disturbance. The particles do not move from one place to another but they oscillate back and forth about their position of rest. Hence, sound waves are longitudinal waves.

HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Sound

Question 5.
Which characteristic of the sound helps you to identify your friend by his voice while sitting with others in a dark room?
Answer:
Pitch of sound. How the brain interprets the frequency of an emitted sound is called pitch. Pitch helps us to identify the sound.

Question 6.
Flash and thunder are produced simultaneously. But thunder ¡s heard a few seconds after the flash is seen, why?
Answer:
At room temperature. the speed of sound is 344 metres per second and the velocity of light is 300000 km per second. Flash and thunder are produced simultaneously but due to the difference in the speed of both, flash is seen first and thunder is heard after it.

Question 7.
A person has a hearing range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. What are the typical wavelengths of sound waves in air corresponding to these two frequencies? Take the speed of sound in air as 344 ms-1.
Solution:
The velocity of sound in air (y) = 344 ms-1
First frequency of person (v1) = 20 Hz
Second frequency of person (v2) = 20 kHz = 20,000 Hz
First wavelength (λ1) = \(\frac{v}{v_1}=\frac{344}{20}\) = 17.2 m
Second wavelength (λ2) = \(\frac{v}{v_2}=\frac{344}{20,000}\) = 0.0172 m

Question 8.

Answer:
Yes, sound follows the same laws of reflection as light does. Sound is reflected from the surface of
Laws:
(1) The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
(2) Incident wave, reflected wave and the normal lie in the same plane. An obstacle of larger size which may be polished or rough is needed for the reflection of sound waves.

Question 11.
When a sound is reflected from a distant object, an echo is produced. Let the distance between the reflecting surface and the source of sound production remains the same. Do you hear an echo sound on a hotter day?
Answer:
Yes, because the speed of sound is more on a hotter day than on a colder day.

Question 12.

Question 15.
What is reverberation? How can it be reduced?
Answer:
Reverberation:
The repeated reflection that results in the persistence of sound is called reverberation. Methods of reducing:
To reduce reverberation, the roof and walls of the auditorium are generally covered with sound absorbent materials like compressed fibreboard, rough plaster or draperies. The seat materials are also selected on the basis of their sound-absorbing properties.

Question 16.
What is the loudness of sound? What factors does it depend on ?
Answer:
The measure of the response of the ear to the sound is called the loudness of sound. It is the sensation of hearing. This level of sensation depends upon the loud or faint vibrations of the source. When vibrations are loud, the loudness of sound is more and when vibrations are faint, the loudness of sound is faint. The loudness or softness of the sound is found by the amplitude. The sound of high energy has more loudness.

Question 17.
Explain how bats use ultrasound to catch a prey.

Question 20.
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.
Solution:
Distance of the object from the submarine (d) = 3625 m
The echo covers the double distance.
2d = 2 x 3625 = 7250 m
Time (t) = 5 s
Speed of sound in water = \(\frac {2d}{t}\) = imh = \(\frac {7250}{5}\) = 1450 m/s
Thus, speed of sound in water 1450 m/s

HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Sound

Question 21.
Explain how defects in a metal block can be detected using ultrasound.
Answer:
Ultrasound can be used to detect cracks and flaws in metal blocks. The cracks or holes inside the metal blocks, which are invisible from the outside reduce the strength of the structure of the building or bridge.
HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Sound - 5

Ultrasonic waves are allowed to pass through the metal block and detectors are used to detect the transmitted waves. If there is even a small defect, the ultrasound gets reflected back indicating the presence of the flaw or defect. Ordinary sound of longer wavelengths cannot be used for such purpose as it will bend around the corners of the defective location and enter the detector and instead of detecting the flaw, they create a state of confusion.

Question 22.
E%plaìn how the human ear works.
Answer:
The outer ear of human being collects the sound from surroundings and passed through the auditory canal, and the pressure on the outside of the membrane increases. The pressure from inside is less. Due to the difference in pressure, the eardrum starts vibrating. The vibrations are amplified several times by three bones (the hammer, anvil and stirrup) in middle ear. In the inner ear, the pressure variations are turned into electric signals by the cochlea. These electrical signals are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve, and the brain interprets them as sound.
