Question 6:
If you are trying to push a heavy box on a horizontal surface, list various forces on the box. State the condition under which this box will start sliding on the surface. How will the magnitude of applied force required to move the box change if:
(i) weight of the box is increased,
(ii) the surface on which the box is placed is made more rough ?
Answer:
Various forces acting on the box are :
(i) Its weight ‘W’ acting vertically downward,
(ii) reaction force ‘R’ due to horizontal surface,
(iii) force of push ‘F’ and
(iv) frictional force ‘f. Forces have been shown in figure.
The box will start sliding on the surface only if the pushing force F is greater than the frictional force f i.e., F > f.
(i) If weight of the box is increased, the magnitude of applied force must increase.
(ii) If the surface is made more rough, the magnitude of applied force must increase.

Answer:
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 9 Science Solved Set 4 7
(a) In the u-t graph the OA part represents uniformly
accelerated motion with an acceleration a=\frac { 15-0 }{ 4 } =3.75m{ s }^{ -2 }
∴Force in this region is maximum having a value
F = ma = 1000 × 3.75 = 3750 N
(b) In the u-t graph the part BC represents uniformly retarded motion with an acceleration
a=\frac { 0-15 }{ 10-8 } =-7.5m{ s }^{ -2 }
∴Retarding force F = ma = 1000 × (- 7.5) = – 7500 N
(c) The region AB of the graph represents uniform motion with a constant velocity of 15 m s-1.Hence there is no force acting on the car during the part AB from 4 s to 8 s.

Question 10:
Clothes get dry faster in summers than in winters. Give reason.
Answer:
In summer, the temperature is higher. More water molecules get the higher kinetic energy, leave the surface of clothes and move to the atmosphere. Therefore clothes get dry faster in summer.
Question 11:
Describe an activity to show that particles of matter have spaces between them.
Answer:
The activity is performed as under:
(i) Take a 100 ml_ beaker.
(ii) Fill half of the beaker with water and mark the level of water with a pen.
(iii) Dissolve about 5 g of salt into water with the help of a glass rod.
(iv) Observe the change in level of water.
We find that there is no change in the level of water in the beaker. That means the particles of salt have occupied the empty spaces between particles of water, so no change in water level has taken place.,
The activity proves that particles of matter have empty spaces between them.

Identify solute and solvent in the following solutions : aerated drinks, tincture of iodine, lemon water.
Answer:
Aerated drinks like soda water are solutions of carbon dioxide gas in water. Hence, soft drinks contain CO2 as solute and water as solvent.
Tincture of iodine is a solution of iodine in alcohol. It has iodine (solid) as solute and alcohol (liquid) as the solvent.
Lemon water is a solution of lemon juice in water. So, it has lemon juice as solute and water as solvent.

Tb obtain good quality and high yield of honey, beehive should be developed near pasturage. The selected honey bees should show less swarming. They should be protected from diseases and pests.
Bees wax is another important product obtained through bee keeping.
Question 14:
What do you know about hole in ozone layer ? Explain the probable damages caused by it.
Answer:
Ozone, 03 is a molecule that contains three atoms of oxygen. Ozone is poisonous but it is not stable near the Earth’s surface. It occurs in the zone of Earth’s atmosphere called stratosphere.
Ozone absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiations from the Sun. Thus it protects us from certain diseases like cancer.
Various man-made compounds like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) react with ozone molecule and cause depletion in the ozone layer in the atmosphere.
Recently a hole in the ozone layer has been discovered above the Antarctica. Due to ozone layer depletion, UV-rays can enter the Earth’s atmosphere and cause certain diseases.
Question 15:
Kishore started helping his parents in the fields. He told his father that the soil forms the most important reservoir of plant nutrients. So, to obtain high yield soil fertility needs to be maintained. One of the ways he suggested was growing leguminous crops.
(i) How many plant nutrients are provided by the soil ? And how are these nutrients replenished in the soil ?
(ii) Why did Kishore suggest growing legumes in the field ?
(iii) List the two values that motivated Kishore to help his parents.
Answer:
(i) There are sixteen nutrients essential for plants. Soil supplies thirteen nutrients to plants. Six nutrients which are required in large quantities are called macro or major nutrients. The remaining seven nutrients which are required by plants in small quantities are called micro or minor nutrients.
Soil can be enriched by supplying these nutrients from external sources as manures and fertilisers.
(ii) Since legumes are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen with the help of Rhizobium, they enrich the soil in N2 content. Hence Kishore suggested growing legumes.
(iii) His concern for his parents’ well being, him being environmentally conscious and concerned.
Question 16:
(a) Which of the two decides the direction of motion of an object: its velocity or the acceleration acting on it ? Explain by giving an example.
(b) A motorcyclist riding motorcycle A, who is travelling at 36 km h’1, applies the brakes and stops the motorcycle in 10 s. Another motorcyclist of motorcycle B, who is travelling at 18 km h’1, applies the brakes and stops the motorcycle in 20 s. Plot speed-time graphs for the two motorcycles. Which of the two motorcycles travelled farther before it came to a stop ?
Answer:
(a) It is the direction of velocity of an object which determines the direction of motion of a particle. As an example, let us consider a ball moving in vertically upward direction when projected upward with a finite velocity. In this case, an acceleration due to gravity is acting on the ball in vertically downward direction. However, the direction of motion is vertically upward which is same as the direction of velocity.

If a moving object is to have uniform speed and uniform velocity then its path must be a straight line path along a given direction.
(ii) (a) For region AB of graph, u = 0, v = 25 m s_1 and t = 3 s
Question 17:
(a) Define kinetic energy. Obtain an expression for the kinetic energy of an object.
(b) A ball of mass 400 g rolls on a ground with a uniform speed of 25 m s’1. Find the kinetic energy possessed by it.
Answer:
(a) Kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by it by virtue of its state of motion. Every moving object possesses kinetic energy.
Consider an object of mass m in a state of motion with an initial velocity u. Let now a constant force
Facts on it and displaces the body through a distance s in the direction of force applied.
Work done on the object W = Fs
Due to the work done on the body, let velocity of the object changes from u to v and a be the acceleration produced.
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 9 Science Solved Set 4 17
If the object started from rest, then u = 0 and hence W = 1/2 mv2
The work done on the object is equal to the kinetic energy imparted to the object.
Thus, the kinetic energy possessed by an object of mass rn moving with a uniform
velocity v is given by
Ek = 1/2 mv2
(b) Here mass of ball m = 400 g = 0.4 kg and speed of ball v = 25 m s-1.
∴ Kinetic energy of ball Ek = 1/2 mv2 = 1/2 × 0.4 × (25)2 = 125 J

Question 22:
State two precautions that should be observed while making use of an overflow can, Answer:
Two important precautions which should be observed while making use of an overflow can are as follows :
(i) The overflow can should be filled with water until the water begins to flow from its spout. Wait till the last drop of excess wrater flows out. This is to ensure that the level of water in the can is up to its brim.
(ii) When the given solid object is lowered in the overflow can, the object should not touch the walls or the base of the overflow can.
Question 23:
Would you prefer amplitude of the pulse to be small or large ? Why ?
Answer:
We prefer to keep the amplitude of the pulse appreciably large so that it can get reflected sufficient number of times at the fixed ends of the string/slinky before fading out. In this way, total length covered by the pulse is large and correspondingly time taken by pulse to cover this journey is sufficient and can be measured easily using a stop clock.
