Passage No. 7

Sound is a kind of energy and it needs a medium to travel as it is a kind of

longitudinal wave. The speed of sound in different medium is different.

Along with the nature of the medium temperature also affects the speed of

the sound. At 25ºC speed of sound in some medium is given below :

1. Air – 346 m/.s

2. Water (Distilled) – 1498 m/s

3. Water (Sea) – 1531 m/s

4. Flint Glass – 3980 m/s

5. Steel – 5960 m/s

Sound energy gets reflected through a suitable reflecting surface. An

echo is a reflected sound which is heard separately. The sensation of

sound persists in our brain for about 0.1sec. To hear the echo clearly at

22ºC, the minimum distance between the source of sound and obstacle

should be 17.2 m as the speed of sound in air at that temperature is 344

m/s.

1. The speed of sound is more in sea water than in distilled water

at the same temperature because of

(i) taste of sea water is different from distilled water

(ii) density of sea water is more than distilled water

(iii) sea water can conduct electricity

(iv) animals can survive in sea water.

2. An echo is returned in 3 sec. at 22ºC in a hall. What will be the

distance of reflecting surface from the source.

Passage No. 8

In everyday life, we see some objects at rest and others in motion. An

object may appear to be moving for one person and stationary for some

other. Most motions are complex. Some objects may move in a straight

line, others may take a circular path. The simplest type of motion is the

motion along a straight line. The shortest distance measured from the

initial to the final position of an object is known as the displacement.

If the object covers equal distance in equal intervals of time, it is said to be

in uniform motion. During uniform motion of an object along a straight line,

the velocity remainse constant with time. In this case, the change in

velocity of the object for any time interval is zero. However, in non-uniform

motion, velocity varies with time. Non-uniform motion is of two types –

uniform acceleration and non-uniform acceleration. If a car travelling

along a straight road increases its speed by unequal amount in equal

intervals of time, the car is said to be moving with non-uniform

acceleration whereas, if its speed increases or decreases by equal

Passage No. 9

There are two forms of mechanical energy in an object – kinetic energy

and potential energy. Kinetic energy is associated with an object’s motion,

while potential energy is the stored energy in an object as a result of its

vertical position i.e. height. The total amount of mechanical energy is the

sum of these two forms of energy. A group of students are studying the

relationship between the Potential Energy(PE), Kinetic Energy (KE) and

total mechanical energy (TME) for a cart rolling down and up on the incline

plane. The four different locations of the cart in (cm) are given below in fig

1 and energy values of the cart in fig 2. On the basis of these observations

answer the following questions.

It is not so for the disabled. For them it requires immense concentration, effort, will power, energy and a lot of time. Despite this, it could be a long way of perfection.

It takes great courage and determination to cope with disability.Give them encouragement, facilities and resources, and then watch them as they learn, earn, play, work and even start their families.

Very often we find that a person lacking in one faculty is gifted in some other way. That’s nature’s way of maintaining balance.

Passage No. 2

Once a man saw three masons who along with some labourers were constructing a temple. He observed the masons for some days and found that though the three of them were doing the same kind of work, there was a marked difference in their approach to their job.

He saw that the first mason reported for his work late, did his work half-heartedly and sluggishly enjoyed longer respite, frequently checked the time on his wrist-watch and left the work before time.

The second mason was very punctual in arriving and leaving, and did his work methodically and conscientiously. The third mason,however, would come before time, took little rest in the interval and often worked over-time.The man naturally got curious and wanted to know the three masons’ outlook towards their work. He asked them what they were doing. The first

Passage No. 4

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :

What is soil?Soil is the loose top layer of Earth’s surface. Plants, depend on soil. It

holds them up. It provides them with food and water.

Soil is made of particles. These very small pieces mostly come from rocks

broken down by weathering. Other soil particles come from rotting

remains of plants and animals. The part of soil that comes from living

things is called organic matter.

Many small organisms live in soil. They include worms, bacteria and

fungi. Fungi are like plants, but they aren’t green. And they have no

leaves, flowers or roots. The organisms feed on dead plants and animals.

They cause them to decay or break down. The decayed plant and animal

matter is called humus. Humus makes the soil dark. It provides the

nutrients, plants need to grow.

Soil develops in layers. The top layer consists mostly of humus. It is called

topsoil. The next layer down is called subsoil. Subsoil contains more rock

particles than topsoil and less humus. It is not as good for growing plants.

The layer below the subsoil has many pieces of rocks. The pieces get

bigger when they are deeper in the ground. Most plants cannot grow in

this rocky layer. The soil layers all rest on solid rock. It is called bedrock.

There are many types of soil. Soil can be of many colours. They can also

have different textures. Texture is the size of the particles that make up

soil.

Clay is a type of soil with many small particles. The particles are packed

together tightly. Clay can hold a lot of water, which makes it heavy and

sticky. Sand has much larger particles than clay. It feels rough. There’s a

lot of air space between the particles, so water drains through this soil

easily.

Loam contains a mix of sand and clay. Loam is the best soil for growing

plants. It lets just the right amount of water pass through for plant roots to

take in.

1. Name the material which provides nutrients for the formation of

plant’s body?

(a) Humus (b) Top soil

(c) Subsoil (d) Rock bed

2. Which organism doesnot help the dead plants and animals to

decay?

(a) Bacteria (b) Fungi

(c) Algae (d) Worms

3. What is the most important factor that help in the formation of

soil?

(a) Lightning (b) Sunlight

(c) Wind currents (d) Thundering

4. Where do we find microorganism which help in the formation of

humus?

(a) Top soil (b) Subsoil

(c) Rocks (d) Rock bed

5. Why can clay hold lots of water?

(a) Its particle size is very small.

(b) Its particles have more soaking capacity.

(c) Humus is present in the clay.

(d) Lots of air space is present between the particles.

6. Which soil allows the high amount of water to pass through for

the plant roots?

(a) Black soil (b) Loamy soil

(c) Sandy soil (d) Clay

Passage No. 5

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :

Some animals in a forest decided to start a school. The students included

a bird, a squirrel, a fish, a dog, a rabbit and a mentally retarded eel. A

board was formed to determine the curriculum and it was decided that

flying, tree climbing, swimming and burrowing would give a broad-based

education. All animals were required to take all subjects.

The bird was excellent at flying and was getting A’s but when it came to

burrowing, it kept breaking its break and wings and started failing. Pretty

soon, it started making C’s in flying and, of course, in tree climbing and

swimming it was getting F’s. The squirrel was great at tree climbing, but

was failing in swimming. The fish was the best swimmer but couldn’t get

out of the water and thus got F’s in everything else. The dog didn’t join the

school, stopped paying taxes, and kept fighting with the administration to

include barking as part of the curriculum. The rabbit got A’s in burrowing

but tree climbing was a real problem. It kept falling and landing on its

head, suffered brain damage, and soon couldn’t even burrow properly

Page 140: Directorate of Education Govt. of NCT Delhi · Problem Solving Assessment (PSA) for Class IX Session - 2013-2014 Team Members S. No. Mrs. Archana Vishwadeep ... 11. Problem Solving

and got C’s in that too.

The mentally retarded eel, who did everything half as well, became the

valedictorian of the class. The board was happy because everybody was

getting a broad-based education.

computers and robots. The great faults of our present age is its emphasis

on efficiency at the cost of humanity.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follows

iz- (53&56) fuEufyf[kr vuqPNsn dks ifM+, rFkk fn, x, iz'uksa ds mŸkj nhft, &

It is said that word is done upon on abject whenever a force acts upon it and displaces it. For example if plough is moved across a field, usually a bullock or a tractor supplies the force to do the work on the plough. Energy is acquired by the object upon which work is done and this energy is known as mechanical energy. This implies that mechanical energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion or due its position. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy ( stored energy of position). A moving ball. for example, possesses mechanical energy due to both its high speed and its vertical position above the ground.

The total amount of mechanical energy is the sum of the potential energy and the Kinetic energy. This sum is simply referred to as the total mechanical energy (TME)

Total Mechanical Energy = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy

A form of potential energy is gravitational potential energy There is a direct relation between the gravitational potential energy and the mass of an object. Objects with more mass have greater gravitational potential energy There is also a direct relation between gravitational potential energy and the object is elevated, the greater is the gradational potential energy. These relationships are expressed by the following equation.

26

Potential energy (gravitational) = mass x g x heightwhere m - mass of the objectg- acceleration due to gravityh - height of the object

Since the gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height of the object, doubling of the height will result in the doubling of the gravitational potential energy. A tripling of the height, will result intripling of the gravitational potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and depends upon two variables - mass (m) of the object and speed (v) of the object. The following equation is used to represent the kinetic energy of an object.

2 Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv

The kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed. That means that for a two fold increase in speed. the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.

Paper chromatography can be used to identify metal ions in waste water a drop of water sample solution is placed on filter paper. The bottom of the paper is set in a solvent that travels up the paper (see figures )

The solvent carries the ions up the paper. Some ions move faster, and therefore farther than others, resulting in a separation as they move up the paper. The paper is dried, them stained, causing the ions to appear as coloured spots. Rf values are calculated for each spot.

Rf = Total linear distance travelled by ion Total linear distance travelled by solvent

Table 1 shows Rf values for 5 ions and Table 2 shows Rf values of ions present in 3 samples of wastewater. The same solvent was used for all ions and samples.

55BMI = = 22.9 kg/m²

(1.55)²

For adults, an ideal BMI is within the range of 18.5 to 25 kg/m².

The given table shows the BMI and the category of the person :

Category BMI (kg/m²)

– Underweight (less mass) 16.0 – 18.5

– Normal weight (ideal mass) 18.5 – 25

– Over weight (slighty more mass) 25 – 30

– Obese 30 – 35

– Severely obese 35 – 40

– Very severely obese above 40

Tow friends, Bina and Amita, always walked home from school together an exclusive restaurant, often visited by foreign tourist.

One day, just as they were walking past the restaurant, a well-dressed woman tourist bustled out of the main entrance. She made for a taxi waiting at the curb, and in her haste, `1,000 note fluttered from her handbag to the footpath beside Amita's feet. Amita bent to pick up the nots to return to the woman, but before she could do that, Bina stepped on the notes, hiding them from view. Before Amita could react, the woman scrambled into the texi which accelerated away into the traffic.

Amita quickly turned to face Bina who had deftly scooped up the money and stuffed it into the top of her school shirt. "What are you doing?" she raged. "That money doesn't to you!" It does now" smirked Bina, "finders keepers. This will my family pay some bills and we'll still have enough left over to buy ourselves a treat!" Amita was shocked at this. "But it's not your money. You've stolen it! I'm not having anything to do with it to you ever again!" And with that, Amita turned on her heels and stormed away, leaving her friend with a puzzled look on her face.

Way back in 1870, when the technology to print coloured pictures was developed, tobacco companies began using it to promote their cigarettes.

Famous people, including athletes and movies stars, were pictured on cards that were included in each cigarette packet.

For years, cigarette were advertised in magazines, newspaper and cinemas. These advertisements used many strategies to promote positive attitudes towards smoking. Doctors, famous people and healthy looking teenagers having fun with friends were shown in cigarette advertisements. There wasn't a dirty ashtray in sight!

It isn't surprise, therefore, that addiction to cigarette among teenagers and adults increased greatly. Not only did addiction increase, but smoking-related deaths also increased.

International groups claim that tobacco is a legal consumer product that kills. This makes it a perplexing product. Recently, some countries introduced laws to force cigrattete makers to place warnings against smoking on every packet of cigarettes. The warnings show some of the consequences of smoking, such as diseased lungs and mouth cancers, but many people continue to smoke.

Everything on this planet is made up of atoms. Each atom contains a positively charged centre, or nucleus, which is surrounding by negatively charges and because they cancel each other out, the object ends up with no overall electric charge. However, it is possible for objects to gain an overall negative or positive charge.

When objects made of different materials are rubbed together, electrons may jump from one object to the other. Objects become positively charged if they lose electrons and negatively charges if they gain electrons. You can predict which way the charges will jump by referring to a triboelectric chart such as the one shown here.

This list of common materials is arranged in order of how likely they are to lose electrons. In general, when two materials are rubbed together, the material that is higher on the list will lose electrons to the materials listed

below it. For example, if a perspex rod is rubbed with a piece of wool, the wool will lose electrons to the perspex so the wool will end up with an overall positive charge and the perspex will end up negatively charged. The further apart the materials are on the list, he more easily the electrons are transferred between them (which means that you don't have to rub them together very long to get them to charge up). If you were to rub glass with rabbit's fur, far fewer electrons will move to the glass than if you were to rub the rabbit fur on something like ebonite.

Lenses are objects made of transparent materials such as glass or clear plastic that has curved surfaces. There are two main kinds of lenses. Diverging lenses are thicker at their edges than in their centres and they make light rays passing through them spread out. Converging lenses are thicker in the middle than at their edges and were the earliest kind of lens made. The earliest examples of these date back two thousand years. They have been used in spectacles to help people with poor vision see better since at least the tenth century.

These days, as well as being used in spectacles, converging lenses are used in many other devices. Magnifying glasses, microscopes and some types of telescopes use converging lenses to make small things much larger, microscopes and some types of telescopes use converging lenses to make small things appear much larger or to make distant objects appear much closer. Converging lenses magnify by bending the rays of light that pass through them to meet to a point. This point is called the focus. the thicker that a converging lens is in its centre, the more it magnifies and the closer the focus is to the lens.

The magnifying power of a single converging lens such as that used in a camera or magnifying glass is equal to the length of the enlarged image divided by the length of the original object. For example, if a 2cm long beetle appears to be 6cm long when viewed through a magnifying glass, the glass' magnifying power is 3 written as "3x"). Similarly, a 10x lens would make an object look 10 times longer. It will also look 10 times wider.
