MARKING SCHEME
SCIENCE
Class – IX
General Instructions :
1. The Marking Scheme provides general guidelines to reduce subjectivity and maintain
uniformity. The answers given in the marking scheme are the best suggested answers.
2. Marking be done as per the instructions provided in the marking scheme. (It should not be
done according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration). Marking Scheme
be strictly adhered to and religiously followed.
3. Alternative methods be accepted. Proportional marks be awarded.
4. If a question is attempted twice and the candidate has not crossed any answer, only first
attempt be evaluated and ‘EXTRA’ written with second attempt.
5. In case where no answers are given or answers are found wrong in this Marking Scheme,
correct answers may be found and used for valuation purpose.

16. It is because of inertia, which states that a body continues to remain in the same 3
state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line with uniform speed, unless it is
compelled by an external force to change its state of rest or of uniform motion we
tend to fall side ways because of our inertia or tendency to continue moving in a
straight line.

24. (a) Inertia is that property of a body due to which it resists change in its state 1
of rest or of uniform motion.
Iron 1
Because mass is the measure of the inertia of a body. Heavier objects have 1
more inertia than lighter objects. 2
(b) Inertia of rest. When the striker hits the lower coin it comes into motion.
On the other hand rest of the coins remain in the state of rest – because of
inertia. Hence they remain at the same position.
