Solutions of practice worksheet 2 (class 7)

 Solutions of practice worksheet 2 (class 7)

1.  Name the acid/base/salt present in the following:

a.       Each cell of our body

Ans. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)

b.      Window cleaner

Ans. Ammonium hydroxide (Base)

c.       Chalk powder

Ans. Calcium carbonate (Salt)

d.      Spinach

Ans. Oxalic acid

2.   What are the factors on which the amount of heat produced in a circuit depends?

Ans. The amount of heat produced in a circuit depends on its

·         nature of materials used in circuit

·         length of a wire

·         thickness of wire of a wire

·         current passing through circuit

3.   Define :

a.       Spectrum

Ans. Band of colous formed after dispersion of light.

b.      Refraction

Ans. Bending of light when it enters from one medium to another.

4.   Give reasons:

a.       Factory waste is neutralized before disposing it into the water bodies.

Ans. The wastes of many factories contain acids. If they are allowed to flow into the water bodies, the acids will kill fish and other organisms. The factory wastes are, therefore, neutralised by adding basic substances.

b.      Blood of insects does not contain hemoglobin.

Ans. In humans, Hemoglobin binds up with oxygen and helps in carrying oxygen throughout the body.

Insect have a system of tubes (spiracles) that transport gasses directly between their cells and the outside air. Their blood does not carry gasses and has no hemoglobin. 

c.       Dispersal of seeds is necessary.

Ans. 

      • It prevents overcrowding of plants in an area.
      • It prevents competition between the plant and its own seedlings for sunlight, water and minerals.
      • It also enables the plants to invade new habitats for wider distribution.

5.   Calculate the pulse rate if a heart beats 592 times in 8 minutes.

Ans. Each heart beat generates one pulse in arteries

        Number of heart beats = 592

        Time taken = 8 minutes

        Rate of heart beat = 592/8 = 74 beats/min which is equivalent to pulse rate that is 74 pulse/min.

6.   Differentiate between: (Any three)

a.       Artery and Vein



b.      Acid and Base

Basis of difference

Acids

Bases

Taste

Sour

Bitter

Touch

Not slippery or soapy in touch

Slippery or soapy in touch

Role in neutralization

Donate H+ ion

Donate OH- ion

With litmus

Blue litmus changes to red.

Red litmus changes to blue.

c.       Inhalation and Exhalation



d.      Pollination and Fertilization


e.      Mirror and Lens

Mirror

Lens

It is opaque

It is transparent

It works on the principle of reflection

It works on the principle of refraction

f.        Fuse and MCB

Fuse

MCB

Fuse has a simple design and small size.

MCB has a complex design and comparatively larger size.

It has very small operating time.

It has large operating time compared to fuse.

Not expensive.

Expensive device.

Requires replacement of wire after operation.

No replacement is required after operation.

FRICTION Q.1. What is force? Write few of its characteristics. Ans.1.  A push or a pull on an object is called a force.                      Force is a vector quantity (having magnitude  as well as direction).           S.I. unit of Force is N (Newton).           Force can Change the State of Motion.                   Force can Change the Shape of an Object. s          Q.2. What is friction ?      Ans.2.  The force which opposes the motion of an object on the surface of another object is called force of friction. Force of friction is a contact force. The force of friction always opposes the applied force (direction of motion).

FRICTION Q.3.  Suppose your writing desk is tilted a little. A book kept on it starts sliding down. Show the direction of frictional force acting on it. Ans.3.                                 Q.4. What is the cause of friction? Ans.4.  Friction occurs due to the interlocking of irregularities between two surfaces in motion to each other. Every object has some sort of irregularities in its surface, so when two surfaces come in contact with each other and one object moves over the another, so their irregularities get interlocked and moving object starts losing its energy in breaking the interlocking and finally it comes to rest.                                             Q.5. What are the factors on which friction depends? Ans.5.  There are two factors affecting friction: 1.      Nature of the surfaces: Friction increases with roughness and decreases with smoothness of the surfaces. On rough surfaces, there are a larger number of irregularities than the s

PRACTICE WORKSHEET (CLASS - VIII) TOPIC – FORCE AND PRESSURE 1. When a force acts on a moving object, it can make the object a) move faster b) slow down c) stop d) all of these 2. Name the type of forces involved in the following :  a) A horse pulling a cart _________________________  b) A moving boat coming to rest when rowing is stopped ___________________ c) A coin falling to the ground on slipping from hand ______________________  d) A sticker attached to steel almirah without glue _________________________ 3. Two students fought over a lunch box, both started pulling it from opposite ends but the box didn't move from its place. What will you infer about the magnitude and direction of the forces? 4. An archer shoots an arrow in the air horizontally. However, after moving some distance, the arrow falls to the ground. Name the initial force that sets the arrow in motion. Explain why the arrow ultimately falls down. Assertion / Reason :  For question numbers 5, two sta
