Question
Write short note: Green revolution.

Answer

  • In agriculture, different methods used to harvest maximum yield from minimum land, these methods are collectively called green revolution.
  • Dr. M.S. Swaminathan is called father of Green Revolution in India while Dr. Norman Borlaug has done the similar efforts in the U.S.
  • Before the Green Revolution in India, there was always the dearth of the food grains. The overflowing Indian population was badly affected due to poor quality and quantity of food.
  • But due to the Green Revolution in India, attention was focussed on the agricultural research.
  • Improvised dwarf varieties of wheat and rice, proper use of fertilizers and pesticides and water management were the proper methods that increased production of food grains.
  • This created abundance of the grains for Indian population.

Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions.
We know that the force of gravity due to the earth acts on each and every object. When we were holding the stone in our hand, the stone was experiencing this force, but it was balanced by a force that we were applying on it in the opposite direction. As a result, the stone remained at rest. Once we release the stone from our hands, the only force that acts on it is the gravitational force of the earth and the stone falls down under its influence. Whenever an object moves under the influence of the force of gravity alone, it is said to be falling freely. Thus the released stone is in a free fall. In free fall, the initial velocity of the object is zero and goes on increasing due to the acceleration due to the gravity of the earth. During free fall, the frictional force due to air opposes the motion of the object and a buoyant force also acts on the object. Thus, true free fall is possible only in a vacuum.
1) Complete the following statement by choosing the right option.
The stone held in the hand is stable because on it __.
  1. two unbalanced forces are exerted.
  2. only the gravitational force of the earth is exerted.
  3. gravitational force of the earth is not exerted.
  4. two balanced forces are exerted.
2) Why does free fall not happen on the earth?
3) Why does the velocity of the object increase during the free fall?
4) Which type of force exerts on the object during free fall?
5) Why does free fall happen only in a vacuum?
There are two important fuels A and B both of which are extracted from deep inside the earth. Fuel A is a thick, dark, foul smelling liquid whereas fuel B is a black solid. Combustion of both the fuels produces products, C, D, E and F. The product C makes the rainwater only slightly acidic but it is mainly responsible for causing global warming. The product D is neither acidic nor basic. It is harmless and does not affect the environment in any way. Both E and F attack breathing system of humans and are mainly responsible for causing acid rain. In addition to combustion of fuels A and B, the product F is also formed when lightning occurs in the sky.
  1. What are (i) fuel A, and (ii) fuel B?
  2. Name (i) C (ii) D (iii) E, and (iv) F?
  3. What is the process of formation of F during lightning known as?
  4. Which fuel is supposed to be exhausted sooner : A or B?
  5. Which fuel is mostly used for generating electricity at thermal power plants?
