Q.8. (a) A spoonful of sugar is added to a beaker containing 500 mL of water and stirred
for a while. State any two observations
that you will make.
(b) Account for your observations.
(3)
Ans. (a) On dissolving sugar in water, we observe that
(i) sugar dissolves completely in water.
(ii) there is no change in the volume.
(b) The above observations
can be explained by saying that there is lot of empty space between
water molecules. Sugar molecules occupy these empty spaces and, therefore, there is no change in
volume of the solution.

According to velocity-time graph, the total distance covered by the object is obtained by the '.

Q.ll. State the law of inertia. Why do we fall in the forward direction if a moving
stops suddenly and fall in the backward direction if it suddenly accelerates from rest?
bus
(3)
.-44
.: .' Science-IX
Ans. Law of inertia: An object is unable to change its state of rest or of uniform motion in
a straight line unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force.
When driver of a moving bus applies brakes suddenly, the bus slows down but our body tends
to continue in the same state of motion due to the inertia of motion. Consequently, we may fall in
forward direction or may collide with the panels in front.
When driver of a bus accelerates it from rest, the bus gains speed but our body tends to remain
in its state of rest due to the inertia of rest. Consequently, we may fall backward or experience a
backward push.

However, units of force are selected in such a way that if III = 1 and a = 1, then force F also
becomes 1. In such a case

(i) Calculate its speed just before it hits the ground.
(ii) What is its average speed during 0.5 s ?
(iii) Calculate the height of window from the ground.
(3)
Ans. As per question initial speed of stone u = 0, acceleration of stone = acceleration due to
gravity g = 9.8 m/s2 (in downward direction), and time taken by the stone to reach the ground

Q.17. Which cell organelle would you associate with elimination
of old and worn out
cells? Why?
(3)
Ans. Lysosomes. They are capable of breaking down all organic material and keep the cell
dear by digesting worn out cell organelles. They are membrane bound sacs filled with powerful
,iigestive enzymes. When the cell is worn out and needs to be destroyed, the Iysosomes burst and
the enzymes digest the cell.
Q.18. State one difference

and tubewells.
Explain any two fresh

Tubewells : Tubewells can tap water from deeper strata. From these wells, water is lifted by
pumps for irrigation.
Fresh initiatives for increasing the water available for agriculture

Q.19. (a) Which two factors bring about loss of food grains during storage ? Give one

(b) State any two control measures

(3)
Ans. (a) Factors which bring about loss of food during storage :
(i) Biotic (living) e.g., insects/rodents/fungi/mites.
(ii) Abiotic (non-living) e.g., inappropriate
temperature/humidity
at the place of storage.
(b) (i) Strict cleaning of the product before storage.
(ii) Proper drying of the product first in sunlight and then in shade and fumigation using
chemicals that can kill pests.
(b) Concentration
of solution is defined as the amount of the solute present in a given
amount (mass or volume) of the solution (or solvent).
A 10 per cent solution (by mass) of glucose can be prepared by dissolving 10 g of glucose in

State the law of conservation of momentum. Why is a person hit harder when he falls on a

A bullet of mass 20 g is fired horizontally with a velocity 100 m s-1 from a pistol of mass
1.5 kg. Calculate the recoil velocity of the pistol.
points
is given
Ans. According to the principle of conservation of momentum, for an isolated system (i.e.,
when no external unbalanced force is acting on the system) the total momentum of the system
remains conserved. It is a basic conservation law of nature and is always true (or it never fails).
As an illustration if two objects moving on a smooth floor collides, then the sum of momenta of
the two objects before collision is equal to the sum of their momenta after collision.
.
When a person falls from a height on a hard concrete floor, he immediately comes in rest
position. It means change in momentum is taking place in an extremely short time and consequently,
, Science-IX

)fce exerted by the floor on the person to destroy its momentum is extremely large. Hence, chances
f more injuries. When a person falls ,?n a sandy surface, the surface gets compressed downward
nd it increases the time of fall. As a result for same change in momentum force exerted by sandy
urface on the person is less and chances of his being hurt are less.

Ans. Three factors for which farmers could do crop improvement :
(i) Biotic and abiotic resistances:
Crop production can go down due to biotic (diseases,
insects and nematodes) and abiotic (drought, salinity, water logging, heat, cold and frost), stresses
under different situations. Varieties resistant to these stresses can improve crop production.
(ii) Change in maturity duration : The shorter the duration of the crop from sowing to
harvesting, the more economical is the variety.-Such short durations allow farmers to grow multiple
rounds of crops in a year. Uniform maturity makes the harvesting process easy and reduce~ losses
during harvesting.

Wider adaptability:
Developing varieties for wider adaptability will help in stabilising
the crop production under different envirorunental conditions. One variety can then be grown
under different climatic conditions in different areas.
Most corrunon method is Hybridisation which involves crossing two varities having genes for
desired characteristics and bringing them together into a new \'ariety called hybrid.

starch respectively, in four different test tubes. After stirring, the mixture that appeared clear
and transparent was that of
(1)
(a) starch and water.
(b) chalk powder and water.
(c) sand and water.
(d) sugar and water.
Ans. (d) Out of sugar, sand, chalk powder and starch, only sugar is soluble in water.
Q.26. Rohit mixed starch with water, boiled the mixture well and stirred it. He observed
that
(l)
starch floats on the surface of water.
starch settles down at the bottom.
(c) starch forms a translucent mixture.
(d) starch forms a transparent
mixture.

Q.27. You are provided with a mixture of iron filings and sulphur powder. When you add
carbon disulphide
to the mixture, you would observe
(1)
(a) iron particles dissolve and the solution turns black.
(b) sulphur
powder dissolves and the solution turns colourless.
(c) sulphur powder dissolves and the solution turns yellow.
(d) iron particles dissolve and the solution turns grey.
Ans. (c) Iron particles do not dissolve in carbon disulphide. Sulphur dissolves in carbon
disulphide forming a yellow solution.

Q.29. For determining the melting point of ice, the thermometer should be kept
(l)
(a) with its bulb in the ice cubes.
(b) in contact with the inner wall of the beaker.
(c) a little above the ice cubes.
(d) in touch with the beaker from outside.
Ans. (a) A correct melting point will be obtained only if the thermometer is kept with its
bulbs in the ice cubes. In any .other conditions (b), (c) or (d), the temperature obtained will be
different from melting point.
Q.30. A student takes some water in a beaker· and heats it over a flame for determining its
