Ans.
3. Distinguish between thrust and pressure
Ans:
4.
5. State Archimedes’ Principle.
Ans: Archimedes’ principle, states that:
“When a body is immersed fully or partially in a fluid, it experiences an upward
force that is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it.”
6. What do you mean by Free Fall?
Ans: When an object falls from any height under the influence of gravitational
force only, then the objects are in free fall.
7. Distinguish between Density and Relative density
Ans:
8. State and derive Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitational Constant.
Ans.
9. What are the effects of force?
Ans The effects of force are as follow:-
Force can move a body at rest
Force can stop a moving body
Force can change the speed of a moving body
Force can change the direction of a moving body
Force can change the shape and size of the body
10. Distinguish between Balanced Forces and Unbalanced Forces
Ans:
11. State Newton’s Three Law of Motion.
Ans. 1. Newton’s first law of motion states that
“An object remains in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless
compelled to change that state by an applied force”. This law is sometimes known
as “the law of inertia”
2. Newton's Second Law of Motion states that
“the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it
and inversely proportional to its mass, famously expressed as F = ma (Force =
mass × acceleration) when mass is constant”
3. Newton’s third law of motion states that
“To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction and they act on two
different bodies”

Ans
15. Calculate the wavelength of a sound wave whose frequency is 220 Hz and
speed is 440 m/s in a given medium.
Ans:
16. What is Kinetic Energy? Derive its mathematical expression
Ans.
DERIVATION:
17. Distinguish between Loudness and Intensity of sound.
Ans. Intensity of a sound wave is defined as the amount of sound energy passing
through a unit area per second.
Loudness is a measure of the response of the ear to the sound. The loudness of a
sound is defined by its amplitude.
18. Define wavelength of a sound.
Ans. The wavelength of a sound is defined as the distance between two consecutive
rarefactions or two compressions. It is usually represented by λ (lambda) symbol.
Its SI unit is metre.
CHEMISTRY
1. Differences between homogenous and heterogeneous mixtures.
Ans: Mixtures are of two types. They are homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous
mixture.
i) Homogeneous mixture(solutions) is a mixture which has a uniform composition
(meaning they are completely mixed and exists in one state)
- The particles of the mixture are not visible by the naked eye.
- The particles cannot be separated by filtration.
- The mixture is stable (the particles do not settle down).
- The path of a beam of light is not visible in the mixture.
Eg :- mixture of sugar in water, mixture of salt in water, mixture of copper-
sulphate in water etc.
ii) Heterogeneous mixture :- is a mixture which has a non - uniform
composition(substances separate)
- The particles are visible by the naked eye.
- The particles can be separated by filtration.
- The mixture is unstable (the particles settle down).
- The path of a beam of light is visible in the mixture.
Eg :- mixture of salt and sand, mixture of sulphur and iron filings, mixture of oil
and water etc.
2. A 0.24 g sample of compound of oxygen and boron was found by analysis to
contain 0.096 g of boron and 0.144 g of oxygen. Calculate the percentage
composition of the compound by weight.
Ans
3. What is Tyndall Effect?
Ans: The Tyndall effect is named after John Tyndall, a 19th-century Irish physicist
who first studied the phenomenon in detail.
When a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution, the colloid particles
scatter the beam of light and the path of light becomes visible in the solution. This
effect is called Tyndall effect.
4. Distinguish between Mixtures and Compounds.
Ans:
5. Write three uses of Chromatography
Ans: 1. To separate colours in a dye
2. To separate pigments from natural colours
3. To separate drugs from blood
6. What is an alloy? Give an example
Ans: Alloys are mixtures of two or more metal and a non-metal and cannot be
separated into their components by physical methods
For example, Brass is an alloy which is a mixture of 30% zinc and 70%
copper
7. What is Suspension? Give its properties.
Ans:
8. Write the factors affecting evaporation.
Ans: 1. An increase in surface area
2. With the increase in temperature
3. A decrease in humidity
4. An increase in wind speed.
9. Distinguish between Pure substances and Mixtures.
Ans:
10. A solution contains 40 g of common salt in 320 g of water. Calculate the
concentration in terms of mass of mass percentage of the solution.
Ans: Mass of solution=Mass of solute + Mass of solvent
Mass of solution=40 g+320 g=360 g
BIOLOGY
1. What is a Biogeochemical Cycle?
Ans: The biogeochemical cycle refers to the constant natural interaction of essential
elements like carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and water between the biotic component
and the abiotic component. This cycle ensures the flow of nutrients, which sustain
life on Earth.
Carbon Cycle, Water Cycle, Oxygen Cycle and Nitrogen Cycle are some of the
major cycle.
2. Explain the Nitrogen cycle in nature.
Ans: The nitrogen cycle is the process by which nitrogen moves between the air,
soil, plants, animals, and microbes. It's important because nitrogen is essential for
all living things to grow and survive.
Nitrogen in the air: About 78% of the air is nitrogen, but most plants and animals
can't use it in this form.
Nitrogen fixation: Certain bacteria in the soil (and sometimes lightning) convert
nitrogen gas from the air into a form that plants can use. This process is called
nitrogen fixation. The usable form is usually ammonia or nitrates.
Plants absorb nitrogen: Plants take up the nitrogen from the soil through their
roots. They use it to make proteins and grow.
Animals get nitrogen: When animals eat plants (or other animals that have eaten
plants), they get the nitrogen they need to build their own proteins.
Decomposition: When plants and animals die, or when animals produce waste,
bacteria and fungi in the soil break them down. This releases nitrogen back into
the soil in the form of ammonia.
Nitrification: Another group of bacteria converts this ammonia into nitrates, which
plants can absorb again.
Denitrification: Some bacteria in the soil turn nitrates back into nitrogen gas,
releasing it into the atmosphere. This completes the cycle, sending nitrogen back
into the air, where it started.
Importance of Nitrogen Cycle: This cycle provides nitrogen essential for protein
and DNA synthesis in all living organisms.
3. Why lysosomes are called Suicidal bags?
Ans. Lysosomes are called the cell's "suicidal bags" because they contain powerful
digestive enzymes that can break down all organic matter such as foreign
materials entering the cell, like bacteria or food, as well as old organelles.
During the disturbance in cellular metabolism, for example, when the cell gets
damaged, lysosomes may burst and the enzymes digest their own cell causing
cell death.
4. Why is Mitochondria known as the powerhouse of Cell?
Ans: Mitochondria are called the powerhouse of cell because the energy required for
various chemical activities needed for life is released by mitochondria in the
form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) molecules. ATP is known as the energy
currency of the cell. The body uses energy stored in ATP for making new
chemical compounds and for mechanical work
5. Write differences between Infectious and non-infectious diseases.
Ans:
5.
Differentiate between vaccination and Immunisation.
Ans: The use of vaccines to stimulate your immune system to protect you against
infection or disease is known as Vaccination.
The process of making you immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically
via vaccination is known as Immunisation
6. Give the features of Cardiac Muscles.
Ans: (i) The cells of cardiac muscles are cylindrical, branched and uni-nucleate.
(ii) Cardiac muscles are involuntary muscles that contract rapidly.
(iii) They control the contraction and relaxation of the heart.
7. Draw a well labelled diagram of Plant and Animal Cell
