What happens to a balloon filled with air, when it goes very high altitude from surface of earth? Why?
The balloon blasts.
Pressure exerted by air inside the balloon to the inner wall of balloon is equal to the atmospheric pressure of the surrounding where air is inflated inside the balloon. Also, atmospheric pressure falls with increase in altitude. At very high altitude the inner air pressure of the balloon exceeds the atmospheric pressure at high altitude and air inside the balloon escapes from the balloon and the balloon blasts.
3.
Gobar gas is more beneficial in rural area of Nepal. Give two reasons.
The benefits of using gobar gas in rural area of Nepal are as follows:-
(i) Fuel:- Gobar gas plant produces methane(CH₄) gas. This gas can be used for cooking purpose.
(ii) Economy :- People now don't have to spend for kitchen fuel anymore.
(iii) Ecology :- Methane gas has 25 times severe greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide. Now this methane is used as fuel although upon burning gives carbon dioxide this reduces greenhouse effect.
(iv) Waste management :- Animal dung, kitchen and agricultural waste are dumped at proper place for producing fuel. This helps in solid waste management.

In general, iron is not used to make body parts of aeroplane. Why? Give any two reasons.
The density of iron is 7.87 g/cm³ . Iron is about three times denser(heavier) than aluminum. It is not used to make body parts of aeroplane because of following reasons:-
(i) Weight :- As iron is relatively denser than aluminum. Iron built aeroplane will obviously weigh heavier than aluminum built aeroplane.
(ii) Power :- As iron built aeroplane is heavier than aluminum built aeroplane. More power is needed while taking off and landing.
(iii) Fuel :- More power requirement by iron built aeroplane requires more fuel.
(iv) Flying cost :- As iron built aeroplane requires more fuel hence fuel expense increases which adds to the flying cost.
10.
Write any two reasons that silkworm is useful insect.
Silkworm is an useful insect because of following benefits it provides:-
(i) Silk thread :- Silk thread is obtained from silkworm.
(ii) Food :- After extraction of silk from pupae the remaining pupae is used by chinese and many other silk producing asian countries as food. Around 10,000 cocoons are required to produce 1kg raw silk. So millions of silkworms are reared by farmer. All the died pupae are used as food. It is also used as pets feeder.
(iii) Non-absorbable surgical suture :- The guts of silkworm are used as raw material for making silk surgical suture. This suture is not decomposed by our body.
(iv) Employment :- Sericulture is a good means of generating income.

13.
Offsprings obtained from same parents show some similarities but they are not exactly similar to each other. Why? Write with reason.
There are two copies of each genes. Offsprings obtained from same parents have two copies of each genes inherited from each parent. Different offspring get inherited with some similar genes. but not all genes copies are same. This difference in gene copies brings variation in offsprings. That is why, offsprings obtained from same parents show some similarities but they are not exactly similar to each other.
14.

A stone dropped freely from 72 m height of the tower and reaches the ground in 6 seconds. Calculate acceleration due to gravity of that stone.At what condition does the acceleration due to gravity becomes zero.
Solution
Given
Distance covered by the stone, S = 72 meters
Time taken by the stone too cover the distance, t = 6 seconds
As the stone is falling totally under the influence of gravity and toward the earth surface the acceleration is due to gravity and positive.
Initial velocity,u = 0 m/s (∵ Stone is initially in rest)
We have,
S = ut + 1/2 gt²
Or, 72 = 0*6 + 1/2 (g*6²)
Or, 72 = (36¹⁸ g)/2
Or, 72 = 18 g
Or, g = 72/18
∴ g = 4 m/s²
Hence the acceleration due to gravity,g is 4 m/s².
Acceleration due to gravity, g = GM/D².
From this equation we conclude that acceleration due to gravity is zero at distance which is infinitely far apart from the center of the earth or at the surface of sphere around the center of the earth where mass of the earth occupied by the sphere is zero which is at the center of the earth.
Or in short,
The acceleration due to gravity becomes zero at the centre of the earth.

If a heater with power 2000W runs one hour, it gives 4.2x10³ KJ heat. What will be the temperature increased in 20 kg of water with temperature 40ºC by that heat? (Specific heat capacity of water is 4200J/kgºC)
Solution
Given
Heat energy supplied, Q = 4.2x10³ KJ
= 4.2x10³x10³ J
= 42 x 10⁵ J
Mass of water, m = 20 kg
Specific heat capacity of water, s = 4200J/kgºC
Initial temperature, T₀ = 40ºC
Final temperature, T₁ = ?
We have ,
From heat equation
Q = m.s. (T₁-T₀)
Or, 42 x 10⁵ J = 20 kg * 4200J/kgºC * (T₁- 40ºC)
Or, 42 x 10⁵ J /(20 kg * 4200J/kgºC) = (T₁- 40ºC)
Or, 42 x 10⁵ ºC/ ( 2* 42 * 10³) = (T₁- 40ºC)
Or, (T₁- 40ºC) = 100 /2 ºC = 50ºC
Or, T₁ = 50 ºC + 40 ºC
∴ T₁ = 90 ºC
After heating the temperature of the water rises to 90 ºC.
