Question: 124

Describe two situations in which force of friction is needed?

Answer: 124

124-143

1-We cannot write if there would be no friction between pen and paper

2- Friction enables us to walk on the ground. we cannot run on a slippery ground. A slippery ground offers very less friction.

Question: 125

What do you understand the by the zero error of measuring instrument.

Answer: 125

125-143

Any error in the measuring instrument that can effect the reading is called zero error
Zero error may be positive or negative
If the an instrument measured more then zero error will be positive
If an instrument measured less then zero error will be negative
The measured value will be less or more than the actual value

What do you understand the by the zero error of measuring instrument

Answer: 132

132-143

any error in the measuring instrument that can effect the reading is called zero error

Question: 133

What is meant by least count

Answer: 133

133-143

The smallest reading that can be taken by using any measuring instrument is called its least count.

Question: 134

Define zero error and zero correction.

Answer: 134

134-143

Zero error If a measuring instrument does not measure the correct value of measurement, then this error is called zero error.

Question: 135

Convert 12 years into seconds.

Answer: 135

135-143

Days in one years = 365 days

Question: 136

What do you know aboutphysical balance?

Answer: 136
