Ques Answers

Q1.What is SI unit? Give some examples.

Ans. SI unit stands for "Système International" unit, which means International System of Units.
It is the standard way scientists and people around the world measure things like length, weight,
and time.
Length – measured in meters (m)

Mass (weight) – measured in kilograms (kg)

Time – measured in seconds (s)

Q2. What is the correct way of writing measurements in SI unit?

Ans. Following are the rules to write SI units correctly::

1.​ Use lowercase letters for unit names, unless they come from a person's name. Example:
meter (m), kilogram (kg), second (s) But: Newton (N), Pascal (Pa), named after people.

2.​ Symbols are written with NO full stops and NO plural "s".
Correct: 5 kg
Incorrect: 5 kgs or 5 kg.

3.​ Space between the number and the unit symbol.


Correct: 10 m
Incorrect: 10m

4.​ Unit always written in plain text, not italics.

Q3. Why is glass used to make windows but not doors?


Q4. How would you separate a mixture of sand and salt?
Q5. Why is frosted glass used in bathrooms?

Q6. Solve the following questions


Helpbox : Density = Mass ÷ Volume
(Unit: g/cm³ or kg/m³)
a)​ A block has a mass of 200 grams and a volume of 50 cm³. What is its density?
Solution: Density = 200 ÷ 50 = 4 g/cm³
b)​ A liquid has a volume of 250 mL and a mass of 200 grams. What is its density?
Solution: Density = 200 ÷ 250 = 0.8 g/cm³
c)​ A wooden block has a density of 0.6 g/cm³ and a volume of 100 cm³. What is its mass?
Solution: Mass = Density × Volume = 0.6 × 100 = 60 grams
