Ques 13: Define alloy. Why an alloy is considered as a mixture?
Ans: An alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals or a metal and a non-metal and cannot be separated into their components by physical methods. An alloy is considered as a mixture because it shows the properties of its constituents and have variable composition, e.g., brass is a mixture of 30% Zn and 70% Cu.

Ques 14: Why does a block of plastic released under water come up to the surface of water?
Ans: Since, block of plastic is light in weight, it displaces more weight of water than its own weight, therefore, experiences more buoyant force than its own weight. This buoyant force pushes it up to the surface of water.

(ii) What is the unit of the coefficient of limiting frictional between two surfaces in contact?
Ans: (i) The work done by the frictional force is negative as it always opposes motion.
(ii) It has no unit. Because the coefficient of limiting friction is the ratio of force of friction and normal reaction.

Ques 16: (i) How can ferrous supplied be formed?
(ii) Which solvent is used to separate sculpture from iron fillings?
Ans: (i) Ferrous sulphide can be formed by heating iron fillings with sulphur.]

Ferrous sulphide
(ii) Carbon disulphide (CS₂) is used. It is because sulphur is soluble completely in carbon disulphide.

Ques 17: Differentiate between parenchyma and chlorenchyma.
Ans: Chlorenchyma: It contains chlorophyll and perform photosynthesis. It does not contain large air cavities.
Aerenchyma: It does not contain chlorophyll.   It contain large air cavities to give buoyancy to the plant.

Ques 20: Calculate the mass of sodium sulphate required to prepare its 40% (mass %) solution in 100 g of water.  
Ans: Let the mass of sodium sulphate required be = xg 
∴ The mass of solution is = (x/100)g
Percentage of solution = (Mass of Solute/Mass of Solution)*100 
40 = (x/x + 100)*100
or
40x + 4000 = 100x
60x = 4000
x = 4000/60
= 6667g

Ques 21: Identify what do the graphs shows in the figure given below

Ans: Graph (i) show that the speed decreases continuously with time. Therefore, it shows retardation.
Graph (ii) show that speed first decreases, then increases with time. Therefore, the body shows first non-uniform retardation and then non-uniform acceleration.

Ques 22: A bullet fired from a gun is more dangerous than an air molecule hitting a person, through both bullet and air molecule have same velocity. Give reason.
Ans: Since, mass of bullet is very large in comparison to air molecule, so momentum of bullet is very large than that of air molecule. When bullet and air molecule hit a person, the momentum transferred to person by bullet is larger than the momentum transferred by air molecule. Thus, by bullet large force is exerted on the person.

Ques 23: A truck and a car both moving with velocity v, have a head on collision both of them come to rest after that. If the collision lasts for 10 s.
(i) Which vehicle experiences the greater force of impact?
(ii) Which vehicle experiences the greater change in momentum?
(iii) Why is the car suffer more damage than the truck?
Ans: (i) Both vehicle, experience same force of impact as accordance to Newton's third law of motion.
(ii) The truck experiences greater change in momentum because of its greater mass.
(iii) As acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass ( is same), car experiences greater change in acceleration so will suffer more damage.

Ques 24: Differentiate between mass of an object and its weight.
Ans: Mass: Amount of matter in a body. Measured by physical balance. SI unit is kilogram. Constant at all the places in universe.
Weight: Force of gravity acting on a body. Measured by spring balance. SI unit is Newton. Variable and changes with the change in acceleration due to gravity.

Ques 25: If the earth attracts an apple, does the apple also attract the earth? If so, why does the earth not move towards the apple?
Ans: Yes, the apple attracts the earth with the same force as the forces with which earth attracts the apple. But due to large mass of earth, the acceleration produced in it is negligible so unnoticeable. Thus, earth does not seem to move towards the apple.

Ans: The irrigation system are:
(i) Wells They are of two types:
(a) Dug well In this type of well, water is collected from water bearing strata.
(b) Tubewell In this type of well, water is lifted by pumps from deeper strata for irrigation.
(ii) Canals In this systems, canals receives water from one or more reservoirs or from rivers. The main branch is divided into branch canals with many distributaries to irrigate fields.
(iii)River lift system Most common in areas, where canal flow is irregular or insufficient due to less numbers of reservoirs release. In lift system water is directly drawn from rivers for irrigation in areas near  to rivers.
(iv)Tanks These  are  small  storage  reservoirs intercepting and storing the run-off of smaller catchment areas.

OR
(i) Differences between Inland and Marine Fishery 

(ii) It is the method to rear domestic fowl for production of eggs and meat. Poultry farming aims at improving poultry breeds. Fowl producing eggs are called layers. Fowl producing meat are called broilers.
(iii) The proper storage of grains can be done by proper treatment and by systematic management of wore houses. It includes cleaning, proper drying, fumigation, spraying etc. Fumigation is the process of providing chemical fumes of the pestes for their control in the storage site while spraying is the method of providing chemical directly to the storage material.
