Q40.Four children measure the length of a table which is about 2 m. Each of them uses different
ways to measure it.
1. Sam measures it with a half metre long thread.
2. Gurmeet measures it with a 15 cm scale from her geometry box.
3. Reena measures it using her hand span.
4. Salim measures it using a 5 m long measuring tape.
Q22. What is a pinhole camera ?

Q39. A student had a ball, a screen and a torch in working condition . He tried to form a shadow of
the ball on the screen by placing them at a different position. Sometimes the shadow was not
obtained. Explain

Q34. What is the purpose of using an electric switch? Name some electrical gadgets that have
switches built into them.

Q1. An electric cell has _______________ terminals.

Q8.A device that is used to break an electric circuit is called _______________.

Q10. The materials which are attracted towards a magnet are called__.

Q11. What is the SI unit of length?

(a)Metre(b)Centimetre
(c)Kilometre
(d)All of these

Q12.Cell is a device which

(a)converts chemical energy into electrical energy
(b)electrical energy into light energy
(c)electrical energy into magnetic energy
(d)None of these

Q18.Filament of a bulb is made up of

(a)Copper(b)aluminium
(c)platinum(d)tungsten

Q20.To prevent electric shocks, the metallic electrical wires are covered with
(a)paper(b)cotton
(c)aluminium(d)plastic

Q38. a) What do you mean by circular motion? Give two examples.

b) Can a body in circular motion also be in periodic motion? Explain with an example.

Q37. A magnet was brought from different directions towards a toy boat that has been floating in
water in a tub. The effect observed in each case is stated in Column I. Possible reasons for the
observed effects are mentioned in Column II. Match the statements given in Column I with those in
Column II.

Column I

Boat gets attracted towards the magnet

Column II.
Boat is fitted with a magnet with a north pole towards its head

Column I
Boat is not affected by the magnet
Column II
Boat is fitted with a magnet with a south pole towards its head

Column I
Boat moved towards the magnet when the north pole was brought near its head

Column II
Boat has a small magnet fixed along its length

Column I
Boat moves away from the magnet when the north pole is brought near its head

Column II
Boat is made up of magnetic material

Column I
Boat floats without changing its direction

Column II.
Boat is made up of non-magnetic material

Note: please arrange column I and column I I properly

33. Which one of them will get the most accurate length? Give reason for your answer.
(a) The length measured by Salim will be the most accurate because he is using a 5 m long measuring
tape which is longer than the table. So, he can measure the length of the table in one go accurately.

(b). Reena is using her hand span which is not a standard unit of measurement and leads to
inaccurate measurement of length.

(c). In case of Sam, only those lengths can be measured which are exact multiples of half a metre.
Also, using a half-metre thread alone to measure the table might give inaccurate results as it cannot
be used in one go.

Q32. The height of a person is 1.65 m. Express it in cm and mm.

Q29.The distance between Radha's home and her school is 3250 m. Express this distance into km.

Q27. State whether moon is luminous or non-luminous and explain.

Q26. Define measurement. What is the SI unit of length?

Q.25 What is a magnetic material ? Give two examples.

Q. 24 what is closed circuit? Draw a well diagram of closed circuit.

Q 21.Give two examples of periodic motion.
