    Study Notes

    Volume

    • Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.
    • The SI unit of volume is cubic meter (m3).
    • 1 m3 = 106 cm3.
    • 1 m3 = 103 dm3.

    Density

    • Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.
    • The SI unit of density is kg/m3.
    • Relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water.
    • Water has a maximum density at 4°C.

    Area

    • Area is the amount of surface covered by a two-dimensional figure.
    • The SI unit of area is square meter (m2).
    • The area of a closed figure can be measured using graph paper.
    • Formulae for calculating the areas of regular shapes:
      • Square: (side)2
      • Rectangle: length x breadth
      • Circle: π x (radius)2
      • Triangle: 1/2 x base x height

    Speed

    • Speed is the distance traveled per unit time.
    • The SI unit of speed is meter per second (m/s).
    • Speed can be measured with a speedometer.
    • Distance can be measured with an odometer.
    • Distance = Speed x Time.
    • For equal distances, lower travel time means higher speed.
    • For equal time intervals, greater distance traveled means higher speed.

    Volume

    • The space occupied by an object is its volume.
    • The SI unit of volume is cubic meter (m3).
    • One cubic meter is the volume of a cube with each side 1 meter long.
    • Smaller units of volume are cubic centimeter (cm3), cubic decimeter (dm3).
    • 1 m3 = 106 cm3
    • 1 m3 = 103 dm3

    Density

    • Density is mass per unit volume of a substance.
    • The SI unit of density is kg m-3, and its C.G.S. unit is g cm-3.
    • 1 g cm-3 = 1000 kg m-3.
    • Relative density = Density of the substance / Density of water.
    • The volume of an irregular solid can be measured using a measuring cylinder by the method of displacement of liquid.

    Area

    • The amount of flat surface or region occupied by a closed figure is called area.
    • The SI unit of area is square meter (m2).
    • To measure the area of an irregular lamina using a graph paper, place the lamina over a graph paper, draw its boundary line, and count the number of complete squares, half squares, and more than half squares within the boundary line.

    Speed

    • Speed is the distance traveled by a body in a unit of time.
    • The SI unit of speed is meter per second (m s-1).
    • Speed is measured by a speedometer.
    • Distance covered = Speed × Time.
    • If speed is the same throughout a journey, then the motion is uniform.
    • If speed varies, then the motion is non-uniform.
    • For equal distance, less travel time means higher speed.
    • For equal time interval, greater distance covered means higher speed.

    Temperature and Density

    • When temperature increases in the case of a gas or liquid, their volume increases, so the density decreases.
    • When temperature increases in the case of a solid, the volume does not change much, so the density is not altered much.
    • The density of water at 4°C is 1 g cm-3 or 1000 kg m-3.
    • Water when heated from 0°C to 4°C, it contracts so the density of water increases and becomes maximum at 4°C.
    • When water is heated from 4°C to 10°C, it expands, so density decreases.

    Volume

    • Volume is the space occupied by an object
    • The S.I. unit of volume is cubic meter (m3)
    • 1 cubic meter is the volume of a cube with each side 1 meter long
    • 1 m3 = 106 cm3
    • 1 m3 = 103 dm3

    Measuring Volume

    • The volume of an irregular solid can be measured by the water displacement method using a measuring cylinder.
    • Fill the cylinder partially with water
    • Note the initial water level (V1)
    • Immerse the irregular solid completely in the water
    • Note the new water level (V2)
    • The difference between the two water levels (V2-V1) gives the volume of the irregular solid

    Area

    • Area is the amount of flat surface or region occupied by a closed figure.
    • To measure the area of an irregular closed figure using graph paper:
      • Place the closed figure on the graph paper
      • Outline the figure
      • Count the number of full, half, and more than half squares enclosed by the figure
      • Ignore squares that are less than half enclosed
      • Calculate the area:
        • Full squares = 1 square unit each
        • Half squares = 1/2 square unit each
        • More than half squares = 1 square unit each

    Formulae for Measuring Area

    • Area of a square = (side)2
    • Area of a rectangle = length × breadth
    • Area of a circle = π × (radius)2
    • Surface area of a cylinder = 2π × (radius) × length
    • Surface area of a sphere = 4π × (radius)2
    • Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

    Density

    • Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance
    • The S.I. unit of density is kg m-3
    • The C.G.S. unit of density is g cm-3
    • 1 g cm-3 = 1000 kg m-3
    • The density of water at 4°C is 1 g cm-3 or 1000 kg m-3

    Variation in Density
