Matter around us exists in three different states — Solid, liquid and gas. Qs. SECTION-E No, 37 to 39 are case-based/data -based questions with 2 to 3 short sub-parts. 4 Solids have a definite shape and fixed volume, that is, have negligible compressibility. The liquid takes up the shape of the container in which they are kept. Liquids flow and change shape, so they are not rigid but can be called fluid. Gases are highly compressible as compared to solids and liquids. The liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder that we get in ourhome for cooking or the oxygen supplied to hospitals in cylinders is compressed gas. Compressed natural gas (CNG) is used as fuel these days in vehicles. Solids, liquids and gases cant diffuse into liquids. The rate of diffusion of liquids is greater than solids, a) Gases are highly compressible as compared to solids and liquids. Give reason. Why is compressed natural gas (CNG) used as fuel these days in vehicles? b) Why is the rate of diffusion of liquids greater than that of solids? Explain the process of diffusion. OR b) Liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids, though ice floats on water. Explain. ‘Arun observed the permanent slides of plant tissue. After observing the slides, he drew their diagrams and enlisted their characteristics in the table as follow. 4Q9.

Mention the characteristic responsible for this function. b) A special type of issue “# allows Water hyacinth plant to float on the water surface. Name this tissue. Which characteristic of this tissue helps Water hyacinth to float? ©) Whereis tissue ‘C” located in the leaves and nuts of various plants? What function does it serve there? OR ©) As the plant grows older, the outer protective tissue undergoes certain changes. Cells on the outside forms several layers of thick cork, i) © Write any two features of the cork. ii) Name and write the function of the chemical substance that makes the cork cells. Action and reaction forces are equal and opposite to’éachr other. These forces-do not act on the same object. For example, while playing the game of football, two players collide with each other, they both get hurt as each player applies equal and opposite force on each other. a Gam 14142 a) — Which law of motion is involved here? b) Why does a ball rebound on striking a hard surface? ©) When the force is applied through the free énd of the spring balance A, the reading on the spring balance A is 10 g wt. What will be the reading of spring balance B? Give reason for your answer. OR °) Even though the action and reaction forces are: always equal in magnitude, these forces do not cancel out each other, Give your justification on this statement. (10)
