Question 4.
The certain force acting on a 20 kg mass changes its velocity from 5 ms-1 to 2 ms-1. Calculate the work done by the force.
Solution:
Here,
Mass of the body (m) = 20 kg
Initial velocity of the body (u) = 5 ms-1
Final velocity of the body (v) = 2 ms-1
Initial kinetic energy of the body (E1) = \(\frac {1}{2}\) mu2 = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 20 × (5)2 J = 250J
Final kinetic energy of the body (E2) = \(\frac {1}{2}\)m(v)2 = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 20 × (2)2 J = 40 J
Thus, Work done = Change in the Kinetic Enegry = E1 – E2
= 250 J – 40J = 210 J

Question 5
A mass of 10 kg is at a point A on a table. It is moved to a point B. If the line joining A and B is horizontal. What is the work done on the object by the gravitational force ? Explain your answer.

Question 9.
A certain household has consumed 250 units of energy during a month. How much energy is , in joules?
Solution:
Here,
Energy consumed = 250 units = 250 kWh = 250 × 1000 × 3600s = 900000000 watt second = 9 × 108J

Question 10.
An object of mass 40 kg is raised to a height of 5 m above the ground. What is its potential energy ? If the object is allowed to fall, find its kinetic energy when it is halfway down, (g = 10 ms-2 )
Solution:
Here,
The mass of the object (m) = 40 kg
Height of the object from the earth (h) = 5 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 ms-2
Potential energy of the object (w) = mgh
40 × 5 × 10 J = 200J
If the object is allowed to fall freely, the half of the potential energy of the object in the halfway will convert in kinetic energy. Therefore the kinetic energy of the object when it is half-way down = \(\frac {2000}{2}\) = 1000J

Question 15.
Illustrate the law of conservation of energy by discussing the energy changes which occur when we draw a pendulum bob to one side and allow it to oscillate. Why does the bob eventually come to rest ? What happens to its energy eventually? Is it a violation of the law of conservation of energy.gy ?
Solution:
When we take the bob or pendulum from its middle position to one side (let left side) upto some height, the work done by it is conserved in the form of potential energy. When the bob is allow to swing, then the total potential energy of the bob changes into kinetic energy on reaching left-to-right and middle position. This kinetic energy takes the bob upto that height at which the kinetic energy is changed into potential energy. Due to this potential energy, the bob oscillates again from right to middle. This continuous and bob or pendulum moves from right-left.
HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 11 Work and Energy - 5
After sometime bob comes in rest because frictional force of air works on it and the energy is wasted to work against it. This is not the violation of the law of conservation of energy.

Question 16.

Answer:
An object of mass is moving with a constant velocity v, its kinetic energy is \(\frac {1}{2}\) mv2. The work is equal to kinetic energy should be done on the object in order to bring the object to rest.

HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 11 Work and Energy

Question 17.
Calculate the work required to be done to stop a car of 1500 kg moving at a velocity of 60 km/h ?
Solution:
Here,
Mass of the car (m) = 1500 kg
Velocity of the car (v) = 60 km/h
= \(\frac{60 \times 1000}{3600}\) ms-1 = \(\frac{50}{3}\) ms-1
Thus, kinetic energy of the car = \(\frac {1}{2}\) mv2 = \(\frac {1}{2}\) = 1500 × \(\frac {1}{2}\) × \(\frac {1}{2}\)J = 208333.3 J
∴ The Work Required to be done to stop the car = 208333.3 J

Questions from Sub-section 5.2.1

Question 1.
How do substances like CO2 and water move in and out of the cell ? Discuss.
Answer:
CO2 and water can move across the cell membrane by a process called diffusion. We know that movement of substances is from a region of high concentration to a region where concentration is low. When the concentration is high in the cell due to the increasing in the quantity of CO2 and the concentration of outer environment is relatively low, just then due to a difference of concentration of CO2 inside and outside a cell, CO2 moves out of the cell from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration outside the cell by the process of diffusion. Similarly, molecule of water moves from outside (high concentration) to inside (low concentration) by the process of osmosis.

Question 2.
Why is the plasma membrane called a selectively permeable membrane?
Answer:
Plasma membrane is made up of protein and lipid molecules. It acts as selectively permeable membrane:

Take four peeled potato halves and scoos each one out to make potato cups. One of these potato cups should be made from a boiled potato. Put each potato cup in a trough containing water. Now,
(a) Keep cup A empty
(b) Put one teaspoon sugar in cup B
(c) Put one teaspoon salt in cup C
(d) Put one teaspoon sugar in the boiled potato cup D.

Keep these for two hours. Then observe the four potato cups and answer the following:
(i) Explain why water gathers in the hollowed portion of B and C.
(ii) Why is potato A necessary for this experiment ?
(iii) Explain why water does not gather in the hollowed out portions of A and D.
Answer:
(i) Water gathers in the hollowed portions of B and C due to the process of osmosis. Potato membrane acts as a semipermeable membrane and the medium surrounding it has a higher water concentration than the cell (potato). Thus, water enters by osmosis.
(ii) Potato A necessary, because it acts as a control experiment.
(iii) Water does not gather in the hollowed out portions of A and D because of the following reasons:
1. Water does not enter in the hollowed out portion of A, because the cup is empty.
2. Water does not enter in the hollowed out portion of D, because the potato used in experiment is a boiled one.
On boiling, the cell dies and the selective permeability of the membrane is lost.

Questions from Sub-section 7

Question 1.
Why do we classify organisms?
Answer:
Various kind of animals and plants occur on earth/world. For example, on one hand in world, we have microscopic bacteria of a few micrometres in size, on the other hand we have long organisms like blue whale of approximate sizes of 30 metres. While redwood trees of size 100 metres are found in California. Their age and structures are different. Some organisms have simple structures while.some have complex. Therefore, to make easy the study of various forms of life, they are classified on the basis of similarities and dissimilarities.

Question 2.
Give three examples of the range of variations that you see in life forms around you.
Answer:
(1) On one hand in the world, we have microorganisms like bacteria which can be viewed under a microscope, on the other hand we have 30 metres long blue whale.
(2) 100 metres long red wood trees are found in California whereas lichen, are visible merely like small spots.
(3) Tortoise remains alive for three hundreds years. While insects like mosquitoes have a life-span of a few days.

Answer:
The major divisions in Plantae are :
(i) Thallophyta
(ii) Bryophyta
(iii) Pteridophyta
(iv) Gymnosperms
(v) Angiosperms.

Answer:
The Universal Adult Franchise refers to the enjoyment of right to vote by all the adult citizens of the county, without any discrimination i.e., on the basis of caste, creed, colour, sex, education and place of birth. It is a well-known fact that every citizen of India who is 18 years of age and above and who is not otherwise disqualified, is entitled to vote in the elections.

Question 38.
“It is said elections are the barometers of Democracy”. What do you understand by this sentence? ‘
Answer:
In a democratic form of government, tiie elections are considered as barometers of democracy because the elections are very crucial in a democratic set up. Elections provide opportunity to the people to judge the performance of the representatives. Elections also generate a new political attitude which can determine the future course of the country at. large.

Question 39.
Write a short note on the Election Commission.
Answer:
The election commission is the highest body in our country to conduct elections. It not only conducts tire elections but also controls and even supervises this process. All elections to the parliament and to the state legislatures and elections to the offices of the President and the Vice President are conducted by the Election commission. It is the Electipn Commission that fixes and announces the dates of the elections in our country. The Election Commission also makes sure that the party in power does not take undue advantage over other parties.

Question 40.
What is meant by Election Petition?
Answer:
When a candidate is not satisfied about the way the elections have been held in his constituency, he Can file a petition in the court and question the election of another candidate. This kind of petition is’called an election petition. Being accepted, this kind of petition leads to by-election to that particular seat.

Question 41.
What is the importance of the electoral symbols ?
Or
Why that different political parties are given different electoral symbols ?
Answer:
All the political parties as well as the independent candidates also are allotted symbols by the Election Commission. All the major well-Renown political parties have been allotted permanent symbols. These symbols are well-known and quite popular among the public An Indian can easily recognize a Congress candidate by the symbol of palm as well a BJP candidate by the lotus.

HBSE 9th Class Social Science Solutions Civics Chapter 4 Electoral Politics

Election symbols are allotted mainly, because of the following reasons:
1. These symbols help the ordinary man and even an illiterate to recognise the parties.
2. These symbols help the. political parties to arrange their processions and meetings and carry on their propaganda from street to street.
3. Symbols also help in the situation when there are more than one candidate of the same name in the same constituency
4. In fact symbols make it easy to caste one’s vote.

Question 42.
State briefly the importance of regular electoral competitions.
Answer:
Regular electoral competition provides incentives to political parties and leaders. They know that if they do good work that would make them popular and increase their chaiices of victory in the next elections. But if, they fail to satisfy the voters with their work they will not be able ta win again. So, if a political party or leader was motivated only by desire to be in power and to continue to be so, even then they would be forced to serve the people.

This is a bit like market. Even if a shopkeeper is in terested, only in his profit, he is forced to give good service to the customers, If he does not, the customer will go to some other shop. Similarly, political competition may cause divisions and some ugliness, but it finally, helps to force political parties and leaders to serve the people.

Question 43.
How is tjie election process complete in a country?
Answer:
The following steps are the major ones in the election process in our country:
1. Elections are announced together with their dates for purposes such’as of nomination filling ‘forms, scrutiny etc.,
2. The Election Commission makes sure that the political party in power does not take any undue advantage over other parties.
3. The candidates fill up the nomination papers.
4. The nomination papers or the applications are scrutinized.
5. The candidates not willing to contest any more withdraw their candidature.
6. The final list of the candidates is published. ,
7. Campaigning done by the candidates and their supporters.
8. On the day of the election, casting of votes is performed in a free and fair atmosphere.
9. After the counting, results are announced. Thus, the election procedure in Our country is completed.

Question 44.
Prepare a brief list of the minimum conditions of any democratic elections.
Answer:
The following is the list of minimum conditions in any democratic elections :
1. First, everyone should be able to choose. This means that everyone should have one vote and every vote should have equal value.
2. Second, there should be something to chose from/Parties and candidates should be free to contest elections and should offer some real choice to the voters.
3. Third; the choice should be offered at regular intervals. Elections must be held regularly after every few years,
4. Fourth, whoever people choose should get elected. Elections should be conducted in a free and fair manner where people can choose as they really wish.

HBSE 9th Class Social Science Solutions Civics Chapter 4 Electoral Politics

Question 45.
Give a brief account of election campaign.
Answer:
The main purpose of an election is to give people a chance to choose the representatives, the government and’ the policies they prefer. Therefore, it is necessary to have a free and.open discussion about who is a better representative, which party will give a better government or what.is a good policy. This is what happens during the election campaigns. In our country, there are two weeks between the declaration of candidates and the polling of votes.

During this period the candidates contact their voters, political leaders address election meetings and political parties mobilise their supporters. This is also, the period when newspapers, and television news are full of election related stories and debates. But election campaign is not limited to the two weeks only. Political parties start preparing for election, months before the election actually takes place.

Question 46.
State briefly some challenges to free and fair election.
Answer:
There are always challenges to free and fair elections. Some of these are:
1. Candidates and parties with a lot of money may not be sure of their victory, but they do enjoy a big and unfair advantage over others.
2. In some parts of the country, candidates with criminal connections have been able to push others out of the electoral race and secure ‘ticket7 from more parties;
3. Very often elections offer little choice to ordinary citizens, for both the major parties are similar to each other and do not wish to raise any major issue;
4. Smaller parties and independent candidates suffer a huge disadvantage compared to bigger parties; and
5; Election campaign often does not raise any basic questions and therefore doeit not offer any real voice to the. people.

Question 47.
What is the importance of the independent Election Commission? How does such a commission help ensure free and fair elections?
Answer:
In our country, elections are conducted by an independent and very powerful Election Commission. A Commission enjoys the same kind of independence that the judiciary enjoys. The Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) is appointed by the President of India. But once appointed the Chief Election Commissioner is not answerable to the President or the government. Even if the ruling party or the government does not like what the Commission does, it is virtually impossible for it to remove the CEC. The Election Commission is a very powerful body.

  • Our Constitution gives it tire power to take decisions on every aspect of conduct and control of elections from the declaration of elections to the declaration of .results;
  • The Commission lias the pow’er to imple¬ment the Code of Conduct and punish any a candidates or party that violates it;
  • During the period of the elections, the EC can order, the government to follow some guidelines, including transferring some government officials like the Collector or SP; and
  • When government officers work on elec¬tion duty, they are under the control of the EC and not the government.

Question 48.
Why are certain constituencies reserved and for whom?
Answer:
There are some constituencies which are reserved for people who belong to the Scheduled Castes [SC] and Scheduled Tribes (ST). In reserved (SC) constituency, only someone who belongs to the Scheduled Caste can stand for election. Similarly, only those belonging to Scheduled Tribe can contest. election from a reserved (ST) constituency.

The number of seats so reserved is in proportion to their population. Currently, in the Lok Sabha 79 seats are reserved for the Scheduled Castes and 41 for the Scheduled Tribes. In the panchayat and nagrapalika elections, one-third of the seats are reserved in a similar manner for women candidates. In many states, seats in panchayat and Nagar Palika are reserved for Other Backward Classes as well. This varies from state to state.

HBSE 9th Class Social Science Solutions Civics Chapter 4 Electoral Politics

Why do we have this system? Isn’t this system unfair to those from other communities? It might seem so. But the gains of this system are mhch bigger. This system makes pur democracy a representative democracy. If there were no system of reservation, very few persons form the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes would have been elected to the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabhas. They would not have had the resources. the education and conditions to contest elections against others.

They would have been discriminated against by others and prevented from winning elections. If that had happened, our parliament and assemblies would have been deprived of the voice of a significant section of our population. In any case the reserved seats do not take away the legitimate share of anyone else. The proportion of seats reserved for Scheduled Castes and Tribes is exactly in proportion to their share in population. In fact, inspired by the success of this system, women’s movement has been demanding a similar system for women as well.

Question 49.
Give a list of slogan raised during elections.
Answer:
In election campaigns, political parties try to focus public attention on some big issues. They want to attract the public to that issue and get them to vote for their party on that basis. Let us look at some oi the successful slogans givne by different political parties in various elections. The Congress party led by Indira Gandhi gave the solgan of Garibi Hatao (Remove poverty) in the Lok Sabha elections of 1971. The party promised to reorient all the policies of the government to remove them. poverty from the country.

Save Democracy was the slogan given by Janata Party in the next Lok Sabha election held in 1977. The party promised to undo the excesses committed during the Emergency and restore civil liberties. The Left Front used the slogan of Land to the Tiller in the West Bengal Assembly elections held in 1977. Protect the Self-Respect of the Telugus was the slogan used by N. T. Rama rao, the leader of the Telugu Desam Party in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections in* 1983.

Question 3.
A diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool? Which property of matter does this observation show?
Answer:
Due to comparatively more distance in between the particles of water, it has the property of compressibility in it, for this reason, a diver ables to cut through water in the swimming pool.

Question 4.
What are the characteristics of the particles of matter?
Answer:
The characteristics of the particles of matter are as follows:
(1) The particles of matter have empty space in between them.
(2) The particles of matter constantly remain in motion i.e., they have kinetic energy in them.
(3) The kinetic energy of particles of matter increases with increase in temperature.
(4) The particles of matter automatically get mixed finally.
(5) The particles of matter attract one another.

Questions from Sub-section 1.3

Question 1.

The mass per unit volume of a substance is called density. (Density = mass/volume) Arrange the following in order of increasing density – air, exhaust from chimneys, honey, water, chalk, cotton and iron.
Answer:
On writing the given substances in order of increasing density, the following sequence will be obtained:
exhaust from chimneys, air, cotton, chalk, water, honey and iron.

Question 2.
(a) Tabulate the differences in the characteristics of states of matter.
(b) Comment upon the following: rigidity, compressibility, fluidity, Ailing a gas container, shape, kinetic energy and density.
Answer:
(a) Given differences are found in case of different properties of different states of matter:

Property Solids Liquids Gases
Size They have definite size. They do not have definite size. They do not have definite size.
Volume They have definite volume. They too have definite volume. They do not have definite volume.
Hardness They are hard. They are not hard. They do not have this property.
Piling up They can be piled up. They flow. They also flow.
Capacity of compression They cannot be compressed. They cannot be compressed. They can be compressed.
Position of Particles Particles are very close with each other. Particles are away from each other. They have too much vacant space in between particles.

(b) (i) Rigidity: The force of cohesion working in between the particles of a substance determines the rigidity of the substance. Due to the maximum force of cohesion in solids, rigidity is there. Liquids have yet lesser and the gasses have the least rigidity.

(ii) Compressibility: Reducing of interstitial gaps in the particles of a substance with the application of external force is called compressibility. Gases have the property of compressibility.

HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings

(iii) Fluidity: Materials that have the property to flow are known as liquid materials. In liquids, the property of fluidity is there.

(iv) Filling of gas Container: Due to weak intermolecular force between the gas particles in a container, the gas occupies the whole of the provided space, which means gases do not have a definite volume. The gases are filled in the container at high pressure.

(v) Shape: Since the particles of solids are attached to more intermolecular force, hence they provide a definite shape to the solids. Whereas, in liquids the intermolecular force is comparatively low, due to this reason liquids do not have a definite shape. The same is the case with gases too.

(vi) Kinetic Energy: The energy produced due to the speed of particles is called kinetic energy. On increasing the temperature the kinetic energy of particles also increases. There is not much kinetic energy in solids, some kinetic energy in liquids whereas gases have high kinetic energy. Density of soilds is high, low in liquids whereas it is nil in gases.

(vii) Density: The mass per unit volume of a substance is called density, i.e.,

Question 3.
Give reasons:
(a) A gas fills completely the vessel in which it is kept.
(b) A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container.
(c) A wooden table should be called a solid.
(d) We can easily move our hand in air but to do the same through a solid block of wood we need a karate expert
Answer:
(a) As the volume of gas is not definite, the gas completely fills up die vessel in which it is kept.

HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings

(b) In the gaseous state the speed of particles is irregular and it is fairly random. Due to this irregular speed, the particles of gas collide with themselves and with the walls of the container. Due to the cohesive force exerted by die particles of gas per unit area; on the walls of the container, the pressure of the gas is maintained.

(c) As the wooden table constitutes a definite shape, also it has a definite volume and the property of incompressibility; therefore, it is called to be solid.

(d) Due to maximising space in the particles of air, we can move our hand quite easily in the air, whereas, due to less intermolecular space between the particles in the piece of wood, we have to be quite expert at Karate Technique.

Question 4.
Liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids. But you must have observed that ice floats on water. Find out why.
Answer:
In comparison to solids, liquids have low density, but water has maximum density at 4°C. When it is cooled down below 4°C, the ice starts thawing at 0°C which has lower density than the density of water. Therefore ice cube floats on the surface of water.

HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings

Question 3.
For any substance, why does the temperature remain constant during the change of state?
Answer:
During the change of state in any material the temperature remains constant because during the change of state the entire heat energy being yielded to the material brings under control intercohesive force of the particles, which is utilised to change the state of a material.

Question 4.
Suggest a method to liquefy atmospheric gases.
Answer:
The atmospheric gases present in the air zone are confined to a utensil and by increasing its pressure and reducing the temperature, they can be converted further into liquid.

Questions from Sub-section 1.5

Question 1.
Why does a desert cooler cool better on a hot dry day?
Answer:
On a hot and dry day, due to lack of humidity, the air is generally dry, when this dry air is sucked inwards by the exhaust fan of the desert cooler, then the water trickling on the mats of the desert cooler turns into vapours and thereby sucks the heat present in the dry air, as a result, the air around cools down. This cool air cools down the room from the inside.

Question 2.
How does the water kept in an earthen pot (matka) become cool during summer?
Answer:
The earthen pot consists of very small pores in its walls through which the water leaks out from inside the pot with capillarity process. These small drops of water get evaporated and it receives heat energy from water itself for evaporation. Consequently, the water kept in  the earthen pot remains cold.

HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 1 Matter in Our Surroundings

Question 3.
Why does our palm feel cold when we put some acetone or petrol or perfume on it?
Answer:
By pouring down acetone/petrol or perfume on the palm, its particles eliminate heat energy from the palm and further, evaporate it into air due to which the palm feels cold.

Question 4.
Why are we able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup?
Answer:
The surface area of the saucer is far more than that of a cup due to which, the evaporation in case of saucer is more rapid from its surface and with that the hot milk or tea comparatively cools down quicker and due to their cooling down, they can be drunk quickly.

Question 5.
What type of clothes should we wear in summer?
Answer:
In summer, we should wear cotton clothes, it is because of the reason that in summer, due to physical activity we perspire more, with a result we feel cool. As we know during evaporation the particles of the liquid’s surface receive energy from our body and further convert it into vapours.

The exposed dormant heat energy of evaporation combines with the equal amount of heat energy absorbed from our body, which lets our body feel cool. By wearing cotton garments the absorption of water gets more, consequently the sweat after absorption into it gets easily evaporated into the atmosphere.

\(\frac{4}{5}=\frac{4 \times 6}{5 \times 6}=\frac{24}{30}\)

अतः \(\frac{3}{5}\) व \(\frac{4}{5}\) के बीच पाँच परिमेय संख्याएँ = \(\frac{19}{30}, \frac{20}{30}, \frac{21}{30}, \frac{22}{30}, \frac{23}{30}\)
