Do You Know
Q1. Camphor
explanation:
- Sublimation is a process where a solid changes directly into gas without becoming liquid.
- Some substances have this special property.
- Camphor (kapoor) when heated, directly turns into vapour.
- Ice and water first melt into liquid before becoming gas.
Conclusion:
Camphor is an example of sublimation.
Q2. Distance is zero
explanation:
- Work is defined as:
👉 Work = Force × Distance - If distance = 0, then:
👉 Work = Force × 0 = 0 - Even if force is applied, without movement, no work is done.
- Example: pushing a wall that does not move.
Conclusion:
Work done is zero when distance is zero.
Q3. Protons
explanation:
- Every atom has protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- The Atomic number tells us the number of protons in the nucleus.
- In a neutral atom:
👉 Number of protons = number of electrons - Atomic number helps identify the element.
Conclusion:
Atomic number represents number of protons.
Q4. Scalar
explanation:
- Physical quantities are of two types:
- Scalar → only magnitude (value)
- Vector → magnitude + direction
- Speed tells how fast something moves.
- It does not include direction.
- Velocity includes direction, but speed does not.
Conclusion:
Speed is a scalar quantity.
Q5. Water
explanation:
- Plants have special tissues for transport.
- Xylem carries water and minerals.
- It transports water from roots to leaves.
- Food is transported by another tissue called phloem.
Conclusion:
Xylem transports water.
