The standard unit of length used by scientists all over the world is __________.

  1. yard

  2. foot

  3. kilometre

  4. metre

  5. furlong


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Since,  1983 the standard unit of length is metre. It is defined as the distance at 00 C between two lines drawn on a platinum irridium rod kept in international bureau of weights and measures at screws near Paris. 

Which of the following statements is/are correct? a. The measurement is complete only if it shows the number and unit of measurement. b. The known fixed quantity is called measurement. c. The standard unit of measurement in use after revisions is the metric system.

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. a and b

  5. b and c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the only correct statement. The measurement is considered complete only if it shows the number and unit of measurement.

The 1/100 part of metre is called ________.

  1. kilometre

  2. decimetre

  3. centimetre

  4. millimetre

  5. micrometre


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

1/100 part of a metre is centimetre.

Rohan observed that the strings of the guitar moved and the sound emerged. Which type of motion did Rohan observe in the guitar strings?

  1. Curvilinear motion

  2. Circular motion

  3. Rectilinear motion

  4. Vibratory motion

  5. Rotational motion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is a kind of oscillatory motion in which the moving object undergoes a change in size and shape. This is incorrect because a child on swing does not change its size and shape.

The motion of the potters wheel is __________.

  1. periodic

  2. curvilinear motion

  3. rectilinear motion

  4. oscillatory motion

  5. circular motion


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

A motion in which a body moves along a fixed axis without changing its position is called a circular or rotatory motion. The potters wheel moves in this type of motion.

Which of the following objects is showing multiple motions? a. Ball moving along the ground b. Earth c. Drilling machine

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. b and c

  5. a, b and c


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

All are showing multiple motions. Ball moving along the ground shows rotatory and rectilinear motions. Earth shows rotatory and translatory motions. Drilling machine rotatory and downward translator motions.

Match the two columns:

 
Column - I Column - II
a. Area of a surface 1. Metre
b. Volume of air in a room 2. Square metre
c. Length of a rod 3. Cubic metre
  1. a - 1, b - 2, c - 3

  2. a - 2, b - 3, c - 1

  3. a - 3, b - 1, c - 2

  4. a - 3, b - 2, c - 1

  5. a - 2, b - 1, c - 3


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct matching.  Area of a surface is measured in square metre. Volume of air in a room is measured in cubic metre. Length of a rod is measured in metres.

Motion of a child on a swing is

  1. oscillatory motion

  2. circular motion

  3. curvilinear motion

  4. rectilinear motion

  5. vibratory motion


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A motion in which an object describes to and fro or back and forth motion along the same path. This is the correct option.

Which of the following devices should be used by a shopkeeper when Riya goes to buy ribbon for her braids?

  1. Scale

  2. Measuring rod

  3. Measuring tape

  4. Weighing scales

  5. String


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is a measuring stick used as a measuring instrument having a sequence of marks at regular intervals. This is used as a reference in making measurements. This device will be the correct choice for measuring ribbon.

Which of the following quantities can be measured? a. Mass b. Length c. Time

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. b and c

  5. a, b and c


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

All of these can be measured. Mass is measured in weight. Length is measured in distance. Time is measured in hours.

During a football match the players were running very fast. Which kind of motion was being performed by the players in the field?

  1. Periodic motion

  2. Non periodic motion

  3. Vibratory motion

  4. Uniform motion

  5. Rectilinear motion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. A repetitive motion,  which repeats itself but not at fixed intervals of time is called non periodic motion. A football player running in the field is performing this as sometimes he runs fast and sometimes slowly and in different directions.

_______________ is also known as the British system of measurements.

  1. Metric system

  2. SI system

  3. FPS system

  4. New System

  5. Standard system


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

F is foot P is pound and S is second. The British system of measurement is FPS system. Thus, this is the correct option.

Which of the following statements is/are correct? a. The scale that is used to measure the object must be greater than the length of the object. b. The two devices that can be used to measure length are: Metre scale and Screw gauge. c. All periodic motions are oscillatory and all oscillatory motions are periodic.

  1. only a

  2. a and b

  3. only b

  4. b and c

  5. a, b and c


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

All these are correct statements. The scale that is used to measure the object must be greater than the length of the object. The two devices that can be used to measure length are: Metre scale and Screw gauge. In oscillatory motion a body repeats its action in equal interval of time so, all periodic motions are oscillatory motion and vice versa.

What are the standard units of mass, length and time in SI system of measurements?

  1. Kilogram, Kilometre and Hour

  2. Kilogram, Centimetre and Minute

  3. Gram, Metre and Second

  4. Kilogram, Metre, Second

  5. Gram, Metre and Minute


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct option. The standard units of mass, length and time in SI system of measurements are Kilogram, Metre, Second.

Which of the following statements is/are false? a. A cubit is a standard unit of measuring length. b. A correct metre scale has arrow signs on both ends. c. To reduce error due to thickness of scale a metre scale with the marked end bevelled or tapered should be used.

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. a and c

  5. b and c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A cubit is not a standard unit of measuring length because it is an arms length,  which can vary from person to person. This is the correct option.
