4. The force of attraction that between molecules of a liquid is greater than in gases.

5. Particles of a solid are tightly packed with very little intermolecular space between them.

6. Force of attraction between molecules of a substance is called intermolecular force.

C. 1. Matter is composed of tiny particles called molecules. Molecules are in a state of random motion which depends upon the kinetic energy possessed by individual

molecules. There is intermolecular space between molecules. The force of attraction between molecules decreases with an increase in the distance between molecules.

2. Solids:

• Have a defi nite shape and volume.

• Very little intermolecular space between molecules.

• Force of attraction between molecules of a solid is maximum.

Liquids:

• No defi nite shape, takes the shape of the container.

• There is space between molecules of a liquid, they move move past one another, so a liquid can fl ow.

• There exists force of attraction between molecules of a liquid much less than solids but greater than gases.

3. • Liquids and gases do not have a defi nite shape.

• Liquids and gases can fl ow because molecules can move past one another.

• A gas can be compressed easily, whereas a liquid can also be compressed with a greater degree of effort.

4. An atom is the smallest particle of an element which is indivisible.It is the basic building block of all matter. Atoms of the same element combine to form molecules.

5. A gas can be compressed because there is large space between molecules of a gas.

D 1. Intermolecular space: The distance between the molecules of a particular state of matter.

Intermolecular space is maximum between molecules of a gas and minimum between molecules of a solid.

2. Molecule: Two or more atoms combine to form a molecule. A molecule is the smallest particle of an element which can exist independently.

3. Compression: When there is large intermolecular space between the particles of matter such as gas, they can be compressed easily. Whereas liquids which have comparatively less intermolecular space cannot be compressed with ease.

4. Atom: An atom is the smallest particle of an element which is incapable of independent existence.

E. 1. An empty vessel contains hundreds and thousands of tiny molecules of gas which though invisible to us, are in a state of constant, random motion.

2. There is less intermolecular space between molecules of a liquid, hence liquids cannot be compressed easily.

3. There is large intermolecular space between molecules of a gas, hence they can be compressed easily. For example, fi lling air in a cycle tyre tube, blowing a balloon, etc.

LEARNING ZONE

Picture based questions

1. (a) Solid (b) Liquid (c) Do it yourself.

2. (a) gas

(b) Solid: Rock, road, tree; Liquid: Water; Gas: Air

3. Gas and liquid

Think and answer

1. Onions contain a liquid, which has lots of sulphur in it. When we cut an onion, this liquid is released. It evaporates very fast. When the liquid gases reach our eyes, it causes irritation and sends signals to our tear gland to produce tears, so that the tears can wash away the irritant from our eyes.

2. It happens because at high temperature, the rate of diffusion increases. So, the particles of the smell of the incence stick diffuse faster with air molecules and spread quickly in all the rooms of the house.

3. It happens because of the phenomenon of diffusion. The particles of food get mixed with the air present in the room when we open up our lunch box in the classroom.

4. Hydrogen → Water → Sand

5. We all know that air is a gas. The gas molecules are loosely packed and there are intermolecular spaces and the molecules move around. So when we move our hand freely in air the molecules are disturbed and and hence move and there is space for us to move our hands but in solids the molecules are packed tightly with no intermolecular space for the movement of the molecuels of the solid. Thus we can only break the wood to make space to move our hand as we cannot push the molecules away, and for this we need to be a karate expert.

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to: understand physical quantities such as length, mass, time and temperature and their

units of measurement.

understand the need for accurate and precise measurement, SI system of units and inter conversion of units that is followed all over the world.

measure area by using formulae and by the use of graph paper, fi nding average and estimation of physical quantities to be taught to the student.

2 Measurement

Warm-upAsk the tallest student of the class to measure the length of the teacher’s table using his/her handspan.

Suppose he/she measures it as 6 handspans.

Again call another student and ask him/her to do the same.

Suppose he/she measures it as 7 handspans. The students are confused.

Next day, the teacher brings a measuring tape and asks the students to measure the length of the table. Let it be measured as 120 cm.

Next, the teacher takes a glass full of water and asks the students, how much water is there in the glass. The students may not give proper or same answers.

So, the teacher pours the water in a measuring jar and says that the water measures 250 mL.

The teacher now explains the need for accurate and precise measurement of objects in daily life.

Thus whether it be length, mass, area, time or temperature, an accurate measurement of these physical quantities is necessary. Each of these quantities needs units to measure.

Thus those units are used for measurement which are accepted all over the world. They are named as SI units.

Read the Warm-up section from the book and do the activity given in this section.

Concept ExplanationMeasurement, Need for Standard Units of Measurement, Convention while Writing SI unitsIn a cardboard box, the let the teacher kepp objects like a spring balance, small weights of 50 g, 10 g, 20 mg, 5 mg, a clinical thermometer, a laboratory thermometer, digital clock, analog clock, a ruler, a measuring tape and a graph paper.

She picks each object one by one and asks the students the names of the objects, the physical quantities and the units they measure.

A clinical thermometer measures the maximum temperature of the human body due to the expansion of the mercury in the bulb, which fl ows past a kink in the column and rises in the graduated stem, to read the highest body temperature. Once it is removed from the body, the mercury stays at that level, and does not fall because it cannot fl ow back into the bulb as the kink prevents the back fl ow. It has to be shaken vigorously, as you know, for us to get the mercury back; then it is ready to take the temperature again.

A

B

A combinati on of movable and fi xed pulleys

Fixed pulley: The axis around which a pulley rotates is fi xed. In this pulley, the force required to lift a body is equal to its weight. The distance moved by the effort is equal to the distance moved by the load.

Movable pulley:The effort required to lift a load is half the load, as the load is shared equally by two parts of the rope supporting the pulley. A movable pulley is used along with a fi xed pulley to change the direction of effort in a convenient direction.

D. Numericals:

1. MA= L/E Ans. = 10 N.

2. MA =L/E Ans. = 10

3. MA = Effort arm/ Load arm

Ans. = 2.5

4. MA = Effort arm/ Load arm

Ans. = 0.5

5. MA = Effort arm/ Load arm

Ans. = 3

E. Explain the following terms:

1. Simple machines: It is a simple device with a few or no moving parts, it makes our work easier. We can overcome a large force by applying less effort.

2. Complex machines: Complex machines are made of two or more simple machines. Some examples are a sewing machine, a car, a scooter.

3. Inclined plane: An inclined plane is a simple machine that can lift up heavy objects with ease by the use of a gradually sloping surface.

For example, it is used to carry luggage and cross a bridge at railway stations.

It is used in hospitals to wheel up patients.

4. Wedge: A wedge is a modifi cation of an inclined plane. One or two inclined planes, join together to form a wedge.They are used as separating or holding devices.

For example, nut and bolt and screw jack.

5. Class one lever: The fulcrum is in between the load and effort. It can have a mechanical advantage equal to, less than or greater than one. Class one levers always changes the direction of force. For example, scissors, pliers, see-saw, etc.

F. Give reasons:

1. To lift a heavy load directly upwards is diffi cult, but using an inclined plane it can be pushed up quite easily. Sloping surfaces are quite useful in hospitals to wheel up patients or railway stations to carry luggage by passengers and coolies.

2. Oiling of machines increases their life. There will be no wear and tear of machines due to friction.

3. If parts of machines are made of iron, exposure to moisture can cause rusting. This will decrease the effi ciency of a

machine. Hence machines should be varnished or painted.

4. Class three levers have the effort in between the load and fulcrum. Hence their MA is less than 1.But the advantage of such levers is that the distance moved by the load is greater than the distance moved by the effort. Hence it is a speed multiplier.

G. Differentiate between the following:

1. Class II lever: The load being in the middle, effort arm of a class II lever is longer than the load arm. Hence class II levers are used as force multipliers. They are more effi cient machines.

Class III levers have the effort in between the load and fulcrum. Hence their MA is less than 1. But the advantage of such levers is that the distance moved by the load is greater than the distance moved by the effort. Hence it is a speed multiplier.

2. Simple machines: It is a simple device with a few or no moving parts, it makes our work easier. We can overcome a large force by applying less effort.

Complex machines: Complex machines are made of two or more simple machines. Some examples are a sewing machine, a car, a scooter.

3. Wedge: A wedge is a modifi cation of an inclined plane. One or two inclined planes, join together to form a wedge.They are used as separating or holding devices.

For example, axe, chisel, nail, etc.

Inclined plane: An inclined plane is a simple machine that can lift up heavy objects with ease by the use of a gradually sloping surface.

For example, It is used to carry luggage or to cross the bridge at a railway station.

It is also used in hospitals to wheel up patients.

A. 1. Most objects around us are non- luminous.

2. Luminous 3. No.

4. A solar eclipse occurs on a new moon day.

5. Yes 6. Light cannot bend.

7. Sun 8. The object is translucent.

9. No. 10. Yes.

B. 1. Natural sources: Sun and stars

Artifi cial sources: Candles and electric bulbs

2. Most objects around us do not give out light themselves, but become visible when light from a luminous body falls on them and then enters into our eyes.

3. Rectilinear propagation of light means light travels in a straight line.

4. Certain objects through which we cannot see clearly because they scatter or diffuse the refracted light. For example, butter paper, frosted glass, etc.

5. Image formed by a pinhole camera is

(a) inverted

(b) real image, since it can be formed on a screen.

(c) such as the size of the image can be diminished or enlarged.

6. A solar eclipse can occur only when the moon passes between the earth and the sun. If the moon’s shadow happens to fall on the earth’s surface, people living in that area are not able to see the sun.

C. 1. Take three rectangular pieces of cardboard of the same size. Make tiny holes in each cardboard at the same height from the base. Place them on a table in such a way that each cardboard is exactly behind the other with the holes in a straight line. Place a candle in front of the fi rst cardboard in such a way that the fl ame is exactly in line with the candle fl ame. You can see the candle fl ame from the last hole. Now displace the cardboard in the middle slightly.

You will notice that the fl ame is not visible.

Thus, as long as the holes in the cardboard are aligned in a straight line with the candle fl ame, you can see the light.

This proves light travels in a straight line or rectilinear propagation of light.

2. Properties of a shadow:

It is always black in colour regardless of the colour of the object.

It only gives the shape of the object.

Shadows are always formed on the opposite side of the source of fl ight.

3. A simple pinhole camera is based on rectilinear propagation of light. It consists of a light proof box with a tiny hole on one side. As the light falls on the pinhole, it forms an inverted image of the object on the opposite side of the box. The smaller the size of the pinhole the sharper the image formed.

4. Solar eclipse: When the moon orbits the earth, it moves between the sun and the

Solar eclipse

Lunar eclipse: When the earth orbits the sun, there comes a time when the earth comes between the sun and the moon. The shadow of the earth falls on the moon, due to which people living on that side of the earth are not able to see the moon for some time. This is an eclipse of the moon, i.e., lunar eclipse.

UmbraUmbra

EARTHSUN MOON

Penumbra

Lunar eclipse

D. Explain the following:

1. Total solar eclipse: A total solar eclipse takes place when the view of the sun is completely blocked by the moon. The part of the earth that falls under the umbra region has a total solar eclipse. The sky becomes very dark.

2. Partial lunar eclipse: A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is in the penumbra region of the earth. The moon receives some light of the sun that it refl ects to the earth. Hence the moon is partially visible to people living on that side of the earth.

3. Shadow: When light falls on an opaque object it forms a shadow on the opposite side away from the source of light. The area of darkness formed by an object

obstructing light is called a shadow.

4. Umbra: The shadow cast by a point source is sharp and dark. This region of complete darkness is called Umbra.

5. Penumbra: When an electric bulb is placed in front of an opaque object, a shadow is formed, the inner circular portion of which is dark and well defi ned. This is called Umbra. There is a circular ring around the umbra which is a a faint shadow. This region of partial darkness is called penumbra.

E. Differentiate between the following:

1. Luminous objects: Bodies that give out light of their own are called luminous bodies. For example, the sun and the stars.

Non luminous objects: Most of the objects around us do not give light themselves but become visible when light from a luminous body falls on them and then enters into our eyes. Such bodies are called non-luminous.

For example, table, trees, books, etc.

2. Ray and beam: A ray of light is a single path along which light travels. It is represented by a line with an arrowhead drawn to show the direction of propagation of light.

Beam: A beam of light is broader and a collection of several parallel rays moving in an organised manner. A torch gives a beam of light.

3. Solar eclipse: When the moon orbits the earth, it moves between the sun and the earth. At a certain position, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching the earth. This causes a solar eclipse. The moon casts a shadow on the earth.

Lunar eclipse: When the earth orbits the sun, there comes a time when the earth comes between the sun and the moon. The shadow of the ear falls on the moon, due to which people living on that side of the earth are not able to see moon for some time. This is an eclipse of the moon or lunar eclipse.

4. Translucent objects: There are certain objects through which we cannot see clearly. The light that passes through these objects is diffused or scattered. Such objects are called translucent objects. For example, tracing paper, ground glass.

Opaque objects: Objects such as wood, stone, metals sheets, paper, etc. do not allow light to pass through them so they form shadows. Such objects are called opaque objects.

When the rays of light start from a point and travel in various directions, then the collection of such rays is called a divergent beam of light.

When the rays of light coming from different directions meet at a point, then a collectionof such rays is called a convergent beam of light.

b. A bioluminescent organism produces light which is the energy released from [2] chemical reactions occurring inside the organism.The chemical energy gets converted into light energy. For example, a fi refl y, some kinds of bacteria and even sharks.

4. Magnets which do not lose their magnetic property even when the cause producing the magnetism is removed are called permanent magnets.

Magnets which lose their magnetic property when the cause producing the magnetism is removed are called temporary magnets.

5. No, because attraction is maximum at the poles of a magnet.

6. Yes, magnetic poles exist in pairs.

7. Opposite poles of a magnet attract each other.

B. 1. Magnets were discovered when a shepherd living in Greece, Magnesia noticed that the ferrule of his stick and the nails in his sandals got stuck to a magnetic rock. The stone was named magnetite also known as lodestone.

3. Magnets should be kept at room temperature using a magnetic keeper.

4. A freely suspended magnet comes to rest in the north south direction.

5. By using a magnet, iron fi lings can be separated from sand.

6. Defi ne:

(a) Magnet: A material that has the property of attracting objects made of certain substances like iron, cobalt and nickel is called a magnet.

(b) Magnetism: The property of a magnet to attract iron and nickel is called magnetism.

(c) Poles of a magnet: The magnetic force is concentrated at two regions on either side of a magnet, called the poles of a magnet.

8. Give reasons for the following:

(a) The opposite poles of a pair of magnets are placed beside each other separated by a bar of ferromagnetic material . This ensures that the magnetic alignment is not disturbed.

(b) When magnets are rubbed against each other, the regular arrangement of molecular magnets is disturbed and they lose their magnetism.

9. Properties of a magnet:

(a) Magnets attract magnetic material

(b) Magnetic poles exist in pairs.

(c) A freely suspended bar magnet comes to rest in North- South direction.

(d) Like poles repel and unlike poles attract.

C. 1. To prove like poles of a magnet repel and unlike poles of a magnet attract each other: Freely suspend a bar magnet. It will come to rest in North- South direction.

Bring the north pole of another bar magnet close to the north pole of the hanging magnet. There will occur repulsion between them.

Next turn the side and bring the south pole of a bar magnet close to the north pole of the hanging bar magnet. There will occur attraction between them.

2. Hang a bar magnet freely and rotate it. It will come to rest in a particular direction.

Rotate it again, it will again point in the same direction. Use a magnetic compass to prove that the magnet rests in the North- South direction.

3. A magnetic compass consists of a magnetised steel needle horizontally mounted on a pivot, which is able to move freely. The north pole of a magnetic compass will always point towards the geographic north.

4. If a magnet is repeatedly hammered, dropped from a height, heated or left unused for a long period of time it loses its

magnetism. Thus the regular arrangement of molecular magnets is disturbed and the magnet is demagnetised.

5. Uses of magnets:

(i) They are used to construct motors and generators.

(ii) They are used in electric bells.

(iii) They are used to sort out magnetic and non-magnetic substances from scrap.

(iv) They are used in cranes.

6. An iron bar can be made into a magnet by rubbing it continuously with a bar magnet from one end to the other end at least 30 to 40 times. The magnet produced by this method is temporary magnet.

7. Care of magnets:

Magnets should always be kept at room temperature away from moisture. The best way of storing a magnet is by the use of a magnetic keeper. This ensures magnetic alignment is not disturbed. A bar magnet makes use of two magnetic keepers whereas a horseshoe magnet uses only one keeper.

D. 1. A horse shoe magnet: A horse shoe magnet is a U- shaped permanent magnet that produces a strong magnetic fi eld. Both its poles point in the same direction.

2. Magnetic poles: The magnetic force is concentrated at two regions on either side of a magnet called the poles of a magnet.

3. Electromagnet: An electromagnet is a temporary magnet that works as long as electric current passes through it. When the current is switched off the magnetism is lost.

4. Magnetic fi eld: The space around a magnet till where magnetic force is experienced is called magnetic fi eld.

E. Differentiate between:

1. Magnets which do not lose their magnetic property even when the cause producing the magnetism is removed are called permanent magnets.

Magnets which lose their magnetic property when the cause producing the magnetism is removed are called temporary magnets.

2. Naturally occurring magnets such as lodestone are weak and are not available in any particular shape.

Artifi cial magnets are strong and can be made into any shape.

3. The materials that are attracted towards a magnet are called magnetic materials or ferromagnetic materials. For example, iron, nickel, cobalt and steel.

Materials that are not attracted by a magnet are called non-magnetic materials.

For example, zinc, copper, plastic, wood, etc.

4. There is attraction between unlike poles of a magnet. There is repulsion between like poles of a magnet.

5. In single touch method, an iron bar is rubbed with a magnet repeatedly from one end to the other end without lifting it.

In double touch method two bar magnets of equal strength are rubbed from the centre of the iron bar towards either end with their opposite poles moving away from each other.

6. The earth’s geographic north pole is actually the south pole of the earth’s magnet.

The north pole of a bar magnet is always attracted to the earth’s magnetic south

pole. That is why the north pole of our bar magnet always points towards the geographic north pole of the earth.

F. Separate magnetic and non-magnetic materials:

Magnetic: nail, safety pin, hair clip

Non-magnetic: Tooth pick, coin, gold bangle, plastic cap, elastic band, pencil, crayons, paper, matchstick.

E. 1. Class II lever: The load being in the middle, effort arm of a class II lever is longer than the load arm. Hence, class II levers are used as force multipliers. They are more effi cient machines.

Class III levers: They have the effort in between the load and fulcrum. Hence their MA is less than 1.But the advantage of such levers is that the distance moved by the load is greater than the distance moved by the effort. Hence it is a speed multiplier.

2. Solar eclipse: When the moon orbits the Earth, it moves between the Sun and the Earth. At a certain position, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching the Earth. This causes a solar eclipse. The moon casts a shadow on the Earth.

Lunar eclipse: When the Earth orbits the Sun, there comes a time when the earth comes between the Sun and the moon. The shadow of the Earth falls on the moon, due to which people living on that side of the Earth are not able to see moon for some time. This is an eclipse of the moon called Lunar eclipse.

3. Geographic North Pole: The south pole of the earth’s magnet points towards the geographic north pole of the earth. It is actually the north pole of the earth.

Magnetic North Pole: The magnetic north pole of the earth lies towards its geographic south pole.

4. Temporary magnet: An electromagnet is a temporary magnet which is made by passing electric current through a soft iron bar. The poles of a temporary magnet can be reversed. The strength of temporary magnets can be increased considerably.

2. Rub an iron bar with a magnet repeatedly. To magnetise an iron bar AB using a bar magnet, place one of the poles of a bar magnet, say the north pole, over one end of the iron bar, say end A. Without lifting the bar magnet, move it along the length of the iron bar, stroking it till you reach the other end, B, of the bar. On reaching end B of the iron bar, lift the bar magnet and bring the same north pole to point A of the iron bar, and then move the magnet from point A to point B again. The process needs to be repeated about 30 to 40 times. This process is called magnetisation of the iron bar by the single-touch method.
