5) Assertion : A gas can easily be compressed by applying pressure.
Reason : The inter molecular force of attraction among the particles is least.
6) Assertion (A): The displacement of anmoving object can be zero.
Reason (R): Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position of the object.
7) Assertion (A): The nucleus controls all the activities of the cell.
Reason (R): The nucleus contains the cell’s genetic material in the form of DNA.
8) Assertion (A): Plant cells have a rigid cell wall.
Reason (R): The cell wall provides structural support and protection to the cell.

Case based questions.
17) A toy car moves in a straight line on a flat surface. Initially, it is at rest. When the car is pushed, it starts moving
and covers a distance of 20 meters in 4 seconds. After reaching the speed, it continues to move with a constant
speed for the next 6 seconds covering a distance of 60 meters.1m x4=4M
a) Calculate the initial acceleration of the car.
b) What is the constant speed attained by the car?
c) Draw a velocity-time graph for the motion of the toy car.
d) Calculate the total distance covered by the car in 10 seconds
18) Sarah, a Class 9 student, conducted an experiment in her biology lab to observe the various organelles in an
animal cell. She used a microscope to examine a slide prepared from a cheek cell sample. Sarah observed that the
cell had a distinct nucleus, several mitochondria, a network of endoplasmic reticulum, and small vesicles
scattered throughout the cytoplasm. She also noted the presence of the plasma membrane surrounding the
cell.After her observations, Sarah learned that each organelle has a specific function critical to the cell’s survival.
The nucleus, she found out, contains the cell’s genetic material and controls its activities. The mitochondria are
the sites of energy production, and the endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis. The
vesicles, including lysosomes, play a role in digestion and waste removal. The plasma membrane regulates the
movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis. Sarah’s observations and understanding
helped her appreciate the complexity and functionality of cells, emphasizing that all organelles work together to
ensure the cell operates efficiently. 1m x4=4M
1- Which organelle is known as the control center of the cell?
2- :What is the primary function of mitochondria?
3- What role does the plasma membrane play in a cell?
4- Name the organelle involved in the synthesis of proteins.

19) Ananya is getting ready for a function. She wears a saree and does
makeup. After that she sprays perfume on her hand. After sometime the
fragrance of the perfume is spreads at every corner of the room . Based on
the above paragraph answer the following questions –(1m +1m +2m)
1. By which phenomenon fragrance of perfume spread in whole room .
2. Smell of perfume will spread faster on a hot day or a cold day.
3. Give an example of a situation which justify that rate of diffusion
increases with increase of temperature.
