NCERT Activity 1.3 Class 9 Science Explanation with a conclusion
You are suggested to study NCERT activity 1.3 class 9
science explanation with a conclusion so that you can attempt questions based on
the activity 1.3 class 9 science.
Activity 1.3 Class 9 Science
· Put an unlit incense stick in a corner of your class. How close do you have to go near it so as to get its smell?
· Now light the incense stick. What happens? Do you get the smell sitting at a distance?
· Record your observations.
Observation
When the incense
stick is unlit then to smell it, we will have to go very close to it but when the
incense stick is lightened then we will get its smell from a distance.
Explanation
In both cases, the difference is the rate
of diffusion. The rate of diffusion depends upon kinetic energy. Gaseous particles
have more kinetic energy than solid or liquid particles.
In the case of the unlit
incense sticks, solid particles have no kinetic energy so we have to go near
to smell them.
When we lighten
the incense stick, its volatile particles start moving continuously in the air,
so we can smell it from a distance.
Conclusion
We can conclude
that particles of matter have kinetic energy, but the kinetic energy in solids is
lower and larger in gaseous particles.
Kinetic energy
increases when temperature increases.
Questions based on activity 1.3 Class 9 Science
1. What is kinetic energy?
Ans. The energy possessed by moving particles, bodies, or objects is called kinetic energy.
2. Name the phenomenon by which particles spread in the air.
Ans. Diffusion
3. What is diffusion?
Ans. Diffusion
is the phenomenon of the movement of any particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of
lower concentration.
