[question] Question. If the volume of a right circular cone of height $9 \mathrm{~cm}$ is $48 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{3}$, find the diameter of its base. [/question] [solution] Solution: Height (h) of cone = 9 cm Let the radius of the cone be r. Volume of cone $=48 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h=48 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ $\Rightarrow r^{2}=16 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$ $\Rightarrow r=4 \mathrm{~cm}$ Diameter of base $=2 r=8 \mathrm{~cm}$ [/solution]...

[question] Question. Give reasons for the following observation: The smell of hot sizzling food reaches you several meters away, but to get the smell from cold food you have to go close. [/question] [solution] Solution: The smell of hot sizzling food reaches severed meters away, as the particles of hot food have more kinetic energy and hence the rate of diffusion is more than the particles of cold food. [/solution]...

[question] Question. The height of a cone is $15 \mathrm{~cm}$. If its volume is $1570 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$, find the diameter of its base. [Use $\left.\pi=3.14\right]$ [solution] Solution: Height (h) of cone = 15 cm Let the radius of the cone be r. Volume of cone $=1570 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$ $\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h=1570 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$ $\Rightarrow\left(\frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times r^{2} \times 15\right) \mathrm{cm}=1570 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$ $\Rightarrow r^{2}=100 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$ ⇒ r = 10 cm There...

[question] Question. Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before it is burnt in air? [/question] [solution] Solution: Magnesium is an extremely reactive metal. When stored, it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper for removing this layer so that the underlying metal can be exposed to air. [/solution]...
