(i) One metre is __________ cm.
(ii) Five kilometre is __________ m.
(iii) Motion of a child on a swing is ____________________.
(iv) Motion of the needle of a sewing machine is _______________.
(v) Motion of wheel of a bicycle is ______________________.

(i) 100
(ii) 5000
(iii) Periodic
(iv) Periodic
(v) Circular
Question no. 3
Why can a pace or a footstep not be used as a standard unit of length?
Answer no. 3
Pace or a footstep cannot be used as a standard unit of length because it differs from person to person.
Question no. 4
Arrange the following lengths in their increasing magnitude:
1 metre, 1 centimetre, 1 kilometre, 1 millimetre.
Answer no. 4
1 millimetre, 1 centimetre,1 metre,1 kilometre.
Question no. 5
The height of a person is 1.65. Express it into centimetre and millimetre.
Answer no. 5
Since 1 metre = 100
so 1.65 metre = 1.65x 100
= 165 centimetre
Question no. 6
The distance between Radha home and her school is 3250 metre. Express this distance into kilometre.
Answer no. 6
Since 1 km = 1000 metre
So 3250 metre = 3250 divided by 1000 = 3.25 kilometre
Question no. 7
While measuring the length of a knitting needle, the reading on the scale at one end is 3.0 and at the other end is 33.1. What is the length of the needle?
Answer no. 7
Starting point of length = 3.0 centimetre
End point of length = 33.1 centimetre
So, length of needle = 33.1 - 3 = 30.1 centimetre
Question no. 8
Write the similarities and differences between the motion of bicycle and a ceiling fan that has been switched on.
Answer no. 8
Similarities - both show circular motion
Differences - bicycle wheels move in rectilinear motion while fan does not move in rectilinear motion.
Question no. 9
Why could you not use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance? What would be some of the problems you would meet in telling someone about a distance you measured with an elastic tape?
Answer no. 9
An elastic measuring tape will not show accurate measurement as its length may very because of having elastic property. When we take measurement with elastic tape, we have to tell whether the tape was stretch or not. If yes then how much it was stretched. Hence it is very difficult to tell the measurement taken from elastic tape is accurate.
Question no. 10
Give two examples of periodic motion.
Answer no. 10
1. Needle of a sewing machine.
2. Pendulum
