Question

Match the two columns:

	Column A		Column B
1.	Odometer	(i)	The time taken by a pendulum to complete one oscillation
2.	Time period	(ii)	A device used by Romans to measure time
3.	Sand clock	(iii)	$10^{6}$ nanosecond
4.	One second	(iv)	Representation of the speed of different moving bodies
5.	Distance-time graph	(v)	A unit of time
		(vi)	$10^{9}$ nanosecond
		(vii)	Gives the distance travelled by a moving vehicle

Accepted Answer

Odometer — (vii) Gives the distance travelled by a moving vehicle.

Odometer is a device used to measure the distance travelled by a moving vehicle. It can read the distance either in miles or kilometers.

Time Period — (i) The time taken by a pendulum to complete one oscillation.

Time Period of a pendulum is defined as the time taken by a pendulum to complete one oscillation. The unit of time is second.

Sand clock — (ii) A device used by Romans to measure time.

Sand clock is a device used by Romans to measure time. In a sand clock, a definite amount of sand takes a constant time to fall from the upper chamber to the lower chamber.

One second — (v) a unit of time, (vi) $10^{9}$ nanosecond.

One second is a SI unit of time and the value equals to $10^{9}$ nanosecond. The other units of time are minute, hour, day, week, month and year.

Distance-time graph — (iv) Representation of the speed of different moving bodies.

Distance-time graph is a representation of the speed of different moving bodies. The slope represents the speed of the body.

2.	An act of change in position ( 6)
3.	Measures distance (8)
5.	A device to measure time (7)
6.	A bob attached to a thread (8)
7.	Records speed ( 11)
