4.2 VERBS AND ADJECTIVES

Q. Write the adjectival form of the verbs below.
Rule: 
  1. Remember that only three verbs could be changed into adjective by adding “ive”
  2. All the other verbs should be made into adjectives by adding “ing”.
  3. Beware! You should not put the letter “e” at the end of the word while adding “ing”.
  4. Sometimes we should write double the last letter whiled adding “ing” as in “upsetting”.
  5. “Offend”, the word becomes “offensive”
-IVE

4.3 YOUR OWN ATTITUDES

Q.Write paragraph describing each of the followings. a. beggars, b. nudist
Beggars
Beggars really annoy me. They occupy any place they like, especially crowd places. It not only hinders the beauty of the city but also destroys the fame of the city. Police personals have to chase them time and again. This scene really disturbs any rational being. I find beggars irritating. They cling to the people and beg as if they are recently born puppies. Sometime they disturb tourists by begging. They defame Nepalese people’s identity. Moreover they terrify me.

Nudists
Nudists shock me very much, as they do not keep to social codes. Human beings are regarded as the most developed as they can live with the code established by the society codes is to put on clothes. As nudists do not think it is necessary to put on clothes. I find them uncivilized. I think they are the beasts in human form. I find embarrassing. When walking with relatives their appearance compels me to hide my face. Fathers walking with their daughters should hide their face worth shame. I get terrified with nudists, as they are likely to create disorder in society.

4.4 IF THERE'S ONE THING...

Rules:
  1. Sentences begins with People = [If there is one thing + that (attitude)s  me + its + people who…]
  2. Sentences begin with you =    [If there is one thing + I (attitude) + its people who…….]
  • Annoy me, upset me, make me angry,
  • I hate, I detest, I loathe
Q. Rewrite the following sentences using ‘If there is one thing……’
1. People who smoke in restaurants annoy me.
If there is one thing that annoys me it’s people who smoke in restaurants.

2. People who are cruel to animals upset me.
If there is one thing that upsets me it’s people who are cruel to animals.

3. People who break promises make me angry.
If there is one thing that makes me angry it’s people who break promises.

4. I hate people who smoke in restaurants.
If there is one thing I hate it’s people who smoke in restaurants.

5. I detest people who interrupt when I am speaking.
If there is one thing I detest it’s people who interrupt when I am speaking.

6. I loathe people who ring me up early in the morning.
If there is one thing I loathe it’s people who ring me up early in the morning.

Physics: Simple Harmonic Motion - SHM

Simple Harmonic Motion(SHM) What is Periodic motion? The motion which repeats itself after equal intervals of time is called periodic motion . For example: the motion of planets and satellites, vibration of springs, motion of pendulum, motion of different hands in watch etc. What is Simple Harmonic Motion? The periodic motion in which particle moves to and fro (back and forth) such that the acceleration of the particle is directly proportional to the displacement from mean position and directed towards the mean position is called simple harmonic motion. i.e. for SHM, a ∝ y ( where y is the displacement from mean position) or, a = −ky ..........................(i) (Where, k is proportionality constant. Negative sign shows that the acceleration opposes the displacement from mean position.) SHM in terms of uniform circular motion(Characteristics of SHM): Equation of SHM: Consider a particle moving in a circular orbit having centre at O and radius r with uniform angular velocity ω. Let P...

Progressive Wave and its Equation - Physics Grade XII

Progressive Wave A progressive wave is defined as one in which the wave profile moves forward with the wave's speed. Both transverse and longitudinal waves are progressive waves. In a progressive wave, the amplitude and frequency of particle vibrations are the same, but the phase of the vibration varies from point to point along the wave. Progressive Wave Equation Suppose that the wave moves from left to right with a displacement velocity of v in which each article vibrates with a simple harmonic motion. However, when compared to the motion of the particle o at the origin O (at x = 0), subsequent particles to the right have phase lag. The vibrating particle's displacement y at origin O is given by, y = a sin  ω t      ........ (1) where 'a' is amplitude, 't' is time: ω  = 2πf, is the angular velocity, where f is the frequency of vibration. Consider a particle P at distance x from the origin as in fig. Φ be the phase lag of the particle P and λ be the wavelength....

Exploring Doppler's Effect: How Sound Waves Change Frequency

Exploring Doppler's Effect: How Sound Waves Change Frequency Table of Contents What is Doppler’s Effect? A. Source in motion and observer at rest: a. Source moving towards the observer: b. Source moving away from the observer: B. Observer in motion and source at rest: a. Observer moving towards the source: b. Observer moving away from the source: C. Source and observer both are in motion: a. Source and observer approaching each other: b. Source and observer receding each other: c. Source leading the observer: d. Observer leading the source: Doppler’s Effect summarization Doppler’s red shift: Limitations of Doppler’s effect: What is Doppler’s Effect? When there is a relative motion between the source of a sound and observer, the frequency or pitch of the sound received by the observer is different than the actual frequency or pitch. This phenomenon is called Doppler’s effect. The apparent change in pitch or the frequency of sound due to relative motion between source of sound and ob...
