so, (2x – 1) : (3x – 3) = 3 : 4
3 (3x – 3) = 4 (2x – 1)
9x – 9 = 8x – 4
9x – 8x = -4 + 9
x = 5
Breadth of the first rectangle = 2x = 2 × 5 = 10cm
Length of the first rectangle = 3x = 3 × 5 = 15 cm
Breadth of the second rectangle = 2x – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9 cm

x = 50 ÷ 5 = 10
Milk = 3 × 10 = 30 litres
Water = 2 × 10 = 20 litres
Let k more litre of milk is added to make the ratio 3 : 1
Then 30 + k : 20 = 3 : 1
30 + k = 60, k = 60 – 30 = 30
Measure of milk to be added = 30 litres

Question 11.
The length and breadth of a rectangle are in the ratio 8 : 5. The length is 9 centimetres more than the breadth. What are the length and breadth of the rectangle?
Solution:
Let the length of the rectangle = 8x and breadth = 5x
Their difference = 8x – 5x = 3x
This is given as 9 m, 8x – 5x = 9
3x = 9, x = 9 ÷ 3 = 3
∴ Length of the rectangle = 8 × 3 = 24 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 5 × 3 = 15 cm

Question 12.
In a concrete, cement and sand are mixed in the ratio 4 : 3. Prove that double the quantity of cement should be added to it to make the ratio 4 : 1.
Solution:
cement : sand = 4 : 3
Let cement = 4x and sand = 3x .
Double of cement = 2 x 4x = 8x ,
Quantity of cement now = 4x + 8x = 12x
Quantity of sand = 3x
Their ratio now = 12x : 3x
= 12 : 3 (divided by x)
= 4 : 1 (divided by 3)
That is if double the quantity of cement is added, the ratio will become 4 : 1.

Question 13.
Ratio of the number of red beads and blackheads in a box is 6 : 5. If the number of red beads is 4 more than the number of black beads find the number of red beads and black beads in the box.
Solution:
Let the number of red beads = 6x
Number of black beads = 5x
6x – 5x = 1x ; = 6x – 5x = 4
This is given as 4. ∴ x = 4
Number of red beads = 6 × 4 = 24
Number of black beads = 5 × 4 = 20

Question 14.
The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls in a school is 14 : 15. There are 27 more girls than boys. How many girls are there in this school? How many boys?
Solution:
Ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls = 14 : 15
Let girls be 15x & boys be 14x
Their difference = 15x – 14x
= x = 27
Number of girls = 15x = 15 × 27 = 405
Number of boys = 14x = 14 × 27 = 378

Question 16.
Ratio of cement, sand and gravel in a concrete mixture are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 4. If 80 kilogram of mixture is to be prepare, what quantity of cement, sand and gravel are to be taken?
Solution:
Let quantity of cement = x,
Quantity of sand = 2x,
Quantity of gravel = 4x
x + 3x + 4x = 80
8x = 8o ⇒ x = 10
quantity of cement = x = 10 kg
quantity of sand = 3x = 3 × 10 = 30 kg
quantity of gravel = 4x = 4 × 10 = 40 kg

Question 17.
Did the sides of a triangle be in the ratio 3 : 5 : 8 ? Why ?
Solution:
Sides are 3x, 5x and 8x .
3x + 5x = 8x
here sum of two sides is equal to the third side.
But sum of two sides should be greater than the third side. So the given sides
3x, 5x and 8x are not the sides of a triangle.
Therefore the ratio 3 : 5 : 8 cannot be the sides of a triangle.

Analyse figure given below and write inferences on myelin sheath.
Kerala Syllabus 10th Standard Biology Chapter 1
Formation of myelin sheath:
Schwann cells, a part of nervous tissues repeatedly encircle the axon to form the myelin sheath. Myelin sheath in the brain and spinal cord is formed of specialized cells called Oligodendrocytes. The myelin sheath has a shiny white colour.

Functions of myelin sheath:

  • Provide nutrients and oxygen to the axon.
  • Accelerate impulses.
  • Act as an electric insulator.
  • Protects the axon from external shocks.
  • Gives white appearance (white matter) to the neural parts.

Kerala Syllabus 10th Standard Biology Chapter 1 Question 5.
Differentiate between white matter and grey matter.
Answer:
The part of nerve, where myelinated neurons are present in abundance, is called as the white matter. The part of nerve where the cell bodies and nonmyelinated neurons are present is called as the grey matter.

Generation Of Impulses

The difference in the distribution of ions maintains positive charge on the outer surface and negative charge inside the plasma membrane of the receptor part of neuron. When stimulated, this ionic equilibrium (polarity) changes there and the outer surface becomes negatively charged and inner become positively charged. As a result, impulse generated. This charge difference stimulates its adjacent parts and similar changes occur there too. Thus a continuous flow of the impulse becomes possible.
Sensations And Responses Class 10 Notes Kerala Syllabus

Charges on either side of the plasma membrane in a resting state:
Positive charge on the outer surface and negative charge inside the plasma membrane of the neuron.

Charges in the distribution of ions on both sides of the plasma membrane when it gets stimulated:
When stimulated, the ionic equilibrium in a particular part changes. As a result polarity changes and the outer surface becomes negatively charged while the inner surface becomes positively charged. The change does not persist for long.

Sensations And Responses Class 10 Notes Kerala Syllabus Question 6.
How is the impulses transmit through the neurons?
Answer:
When impulses reach at the synaptic knobs, a chemical substance, known as neurotransmitter, released in the synaptic cleft. This neurotransmitter stimulates the adjacent dendrites to form new electric impulses.
Synapse:
Sensations And Responses Class 10 Questions And Answers
The junction between neurons or between neurons and muscles or glands is known as the synapse. It helps to regulate the speed and direction of impulses. The impulses are transmitted across the synaptic cleft only through a chemical (neurotransmitter), secreted from the synaptic knobs.

This neurotransmitter stimulates the adjacent dendrites to form new electric impulses. Acetylcholine and dopamine are examples of neurotransmitters. Synapse helps to regulate the speed and direction of impulses.

Question 28.
Hypothalamus has an important role in maintaining homeostasis. Analyze this statement and note down 4 ideas to justify your views.  (March 2012)
Answer:
Hypothalamus produces certain neurosecretory hormones which influence the production of various stimulating hormones secreted by the pituitary gland. These hormones, in turn, stimulate the production of hormones of certain other important endocrine glands. Pituitary glands stimulate the glands to produce the hormones only according to the need of the body.

So hypothalamus indirectly helps in maintaining homeostasis. For example, during summer when water has to be retained in the body vasopressin is produced which will enhance the reabsorption of water from urine and they maintain the water level in the body. Calcium level is also maintained by the decrease and increase production of calcitonin and parathormone. In short

  • Changes in the internal environment affects the rhythm of life activities.
  • Secretion of hormones is increased or decreased according to the changes
  • Life activities are regularised this way.
  • Thus hypothalamus prepares the body to overcome different situations and maintain a normal balance.

Law Of Conservation Of Momentum

In the absence of an external force, the total momentum of a system is a constant.

Question 44.
A bullet is fired with a velocity v from a gun of mass M. What will be the recoil velocity of the gun if the mass of the bullet is m?
Answer:
According to low of Conservation of Momentum, total momentum ofthe gun and the bullet before firing and their total momentum after firing will be equal,
ie. Total momentum before firing = 0 + 0 =0
Total momentum after firing = MV + mv
Accoriding to Law of Conservation of Momentum 0 =MV + mv
MV = -mv
V = \(\frac { -mv }{ M }\)
The recoil velocity ofthe gun V = \(\frac { -mv }{ M }\). The negative
sign indicates that the gun moves in the opposite direction of motion ofthe bullet.

Question 45.
Suppose a child of mass 40 kg running on a horizontal surface with a velocity of 5m/s jumps on a stationary skating board of mass3 kg while running as shown in the figure. If there is no other force acting horizontally (assuming the frictional force on the wheels to be zero), calculate the velocity of the combined system of child and the skating board.
Answer:
Suppose the velocity of the board while moving is u. Total momentum of the child and the skating board before jumping will be
= 40 kg × 5 m/s + 3 kg × 0 m/s
= 200 kg m/s Total momentum when the system starts moving (body and skating board)
= (40 + 3) kg × u m/s
= 43 × u kgm/s.
According to the Law of Conservation of Momentum, Total momentum remains constant.
43 u = 200
u = 200/43 = + 4.65 m/s

Circular Motion

Motion of a body through a circular path is known as circular motion.
Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Physics Solutions Chapter 3 Motion and Laws of Motion 20

Question 46.
Does the velocity of an object moving with a uniform speed along a circular path change?
Yes

Question 47.
How does this change in velocity happen?
Due to change in speed/change in direction/due to change in both speed and direction.
Answer:
Due to change in direction.

  • Whirling of a stone tied to a string is a type of circular motion.
  • The force we apply form the center of the circle reaches the object through the string. The acceleration which a body in circular motion experiences towards the center of the circle through the radius is centripetal acceleration. The force that creates centripetal acceleration is a centripetal force.
    Centripetal force (Fc) = mv2/t
    m – mass, v-velocity, r- radius of the circular path
  • In the absence of centripetal force, circular moving body thrown off through the tangent.
  • If a body moving along a circular path covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, it is said to be in uniform circular motion.

Question 48.
In hammer throw, before the hammer is let go off, why is it whirled around along a circular path?
Answer:
It is to get initial momentum. Also helpful to cover long distances through the tangent.

Question 49.
How does the speed of a giant wheel in an amusement park?
Answer:
The motion of giant wheel is controlled by mechanically. So its speed is uniform except when starting and stopping.
Examples for uniform circular motion:

  • Motion of needles in a watch.
  • Whirling of a stone tied to a string.
  • Movement of the leaf of an electric fan except when starting and stopping.
  • Circular motion of earth’s artificial /satellites.

The acceleration experienced by an object in a circular motion, along the radius, towards the center of the circle, is known as centripetal acceleration. The force that creates a centripetal acceleration is called centripetal force. Centripetal acceleration and centripetal force are directed towards the center.
If an object moving along a circular path covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, it is said to be in uniform circular motion.

Question 1.
Conduct a discussion on how nitrogen cycle benefits plants and animals.
Answer:
Nitrogen cycle helps to maintain the level of nitrogen in the atmosphere stable. During lightning nitro¬gen in the atmosphere combines with oxygen and forms nitric oxide. This nitric oxide combines with oxygen again to form nitrogen dioxide Nitrogen dioxide in the presence of oxygen dissolves in rainwater and reaches earth as nitric acid. This nitric acid combines with compounds present in earth and changes them to nitrates. Plants absorb this nitrates easily. Through plant products, nitrogen reacts animals also When plants and animals decay nitrogen again reaches the atmosphere this process goes on continuously. So the amount of nitrogen is kept constant.

The energy required for this process is obtained from the ultraviolet process is obtained form the ultraviolet radiations emitted by the sun. Due to this such harmful radiations doe not reach the earth excessively.

Chloroflouro carbons are responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer. Chlorofluorocarbon released into the atmosphere reach the stratosphere and breakdown by the action of ultraviolet radiation releasing chlorine the chlorine decomposes ozone molecules into oxygen. This disturbs the equilibrium in the ozone – oxygen cyclic process. Hence the depletion of ozone in the atmosphere reduces the absorption of ultraviolet rays.

Today the use of CFC is being controlled in most of the countries. Harmful CFC are replaced nowadays with safer substances this has helped in reducing the rate of depiction of ozone layer.

Question 3.
Some of the natural numbers can be written as the difference of two squares as.
242 = 72 – 52 = 52 – 12
32 = 92 – 72 = 62 – 22
40 = 112 – 92 = 72 – 32
(i) Explain the method to write the multiples of 8 from 24 onwards in this method on the basis of algebra.
(ii) In how many methods the multiples of 16 from 48 onwards to write the difference of perfect squares?
Solution:
(i) 4xy = (x + y)2 – (x – y)2
24 = 4 × 6 × 1 = ( 6 + 1)2 – (6 – 1)2
= 72 – 52
24 = 4 × 3 × 2 = (3 + 2)2 – (3 – 2)2
= 52 – 12
The multiples of 8 from 24 onwards can be written in two forms as 4 × x × y
Number = 4 × y = (r + y)2 – (r – y)2
Number = 4 ab = (a + b)2 – (a – b)2
32 = 4 × 8 × 1
= (8 + 1)2 – (8 – 1)2
= 92 – 72
32 = 4 × 4 × 2
= (4 + 2)2 – (4 – 2)2
= 62 – 22
40 = 4 × 10 × 1
= (10 + 1)2 – (10 – 1)2 = 112 – 92
40 = 4 × 5 × 2
= (5 + 2)2 – (5 – 2 )2 = 72 – 32

(ii) 48 = 4 × 4 × 3, 4 × 12 × 1, 4 × 6 × 2
There are the different ways of writing 48. So it can be written in 3 different methods as the difference of perfect squares.
48 = 4 × 4 × 3
= (4 + 3)2 – (4 – 3)2 = 72 – 12
48 = 4 × 12 × 1
= (12 + 1)2 – (12 – 1 )2 = 132 – 112
48 = 4 × 6 × 2
= (6 + 2)2 – (6 – 2)2 = 82 – 42

Explain the exchange of gases in alveoli?
Answer:
Alveoli increase the respiratory surface area in lungs. This large surface area help in the easy exchange of respiratory gases. Alveoli are surrounded by numerous capillaries. The inner wall of the alveoli is always kept moist. During inspiration, the concentration of oxygen inside the alveoli is higher than that of blood capillaries whereas the concentration of carbon dioxide in blood capillaries is higher than that of alveoli. As a result oxygen from the alveoli diffuses to the capillaries and carbon dioxide from capillaries diffuses to the alveoli

Question 52.
‘Smoking is injurious to health’ Rekha reminded Rajeev. Do you agree with Rekha? Justify your answer.
Answer:
I agree with Rekha’s statement. Smoking is a bad habit that harmfully affects the human race. It not only affects the person who smokes but also affects the nearby persons who breathe the smoke. Carcinogens present in tobacco cause lung cancer. Alveoli rupture due to the loss of elasticity by the deposition of toxic substances contained in tobacco. This reduces the respiratory surface and reduces vital capacity. This stage is emphysema. The tar, carbon monoxide, etc. in tobacco leads to the deposition of mucus and the swelling of lungs due to the proliferation of germs in the alveoli. This stage is known as bronchitis.

Structure of Atom Textual Questions and Answers

Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Chemistry Chapter 1 Question 1.
Explain the postulates of Rutherford model of atom?
Answer:

  • An atom has a center called nucleus
  • Compared to the size of an atom the size of the nucleus is very smell
  • All the positively charged particles and most of the mass are concentrated in the nucleus of atoms.
  • Negatively charged electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular path.
  • This atom model is known as planetary model of atom because sun at the center is compared to the nucleus planets revolving around the sun is compared to electrons.

Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Chemistry Notes Question 2.
Explain the limitations of Rutherford’s model of atom?
Answer:
According to James Clerk Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory, a charged body in circular motion continuously emits energy as radiations. Electrons which revolve around the nucleus are negatively charged. Hence while electrons revolve around the nucleus, they should emit electromagnetic radiations lose energy and come closer to the nucleus Finally the negatively charged electrons should collapse into the nucleus. But this does not happen in an atom. It Rutherford’s model failed to explain this.

9th Chemistry Notes Kerala Syllabus Question 3.
Explain Bohr model of atoms?
Answer:

  • Electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed paths called orbit or shells.
  • Electrons in each shell have a definite energy hence shells are also called energy levels.
  • As long as an electron revolves in a particular orbit its energy remains constant.
  • The energy of the shell increases as the distance form the nucleus increases
  • The shells.around the nucleus can be numbered from near the nucleus 1,2, 3,4…. or represented by the letters K, L, M, N

Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Chemistry Guide Pdf Question 4.
Explain the discovery of chargeless particles too- within an atom?
Answer:
The actual mass of an atom should be equal to the sum of the mass of particles present in it. Scientists realized the fact that there is no relation between the total mass of particle, ie., electrons, and protons in an atom and the actual mass of an atom.

From this, it can be inferred that nucleus may contain neutral particles having mass equal to that of protons predicted by Rutherford. In 1932 James Chad Wick-confirmed the presence of neutral particles within the nucleus of an atom. These particles are called neutrons. The mass of neutron is determined slightly higher than that of protons.

Question 20.
Dinesh applied DDT, a pesticide in his garden to control termites. He could control termites successfully during the initial stages, but subsequent usage of the same did not produce any results. Evaluate the survival of termites on the basis of Natural Selection.
Answer:
According to The Theory of natural selection, the organisms are in competition for limited resources (struggle for existence). Only organisms with favourable variations survive. And this leads to the evolution of new species with favourable variations. They become accustomed to the new environment.

This new species produce more number of offsprings (overproduction).
Here the pests have variations to overcome the DDT. Organisms with favourable variations survive and lead to the evolution of new species which can survive DDT.
