Question 4:

A stone is dropped from a height of 20 m.
(a) How long will it take to reach the ground?
(b) What will be its speed when it hits the ground? (g = 10 m/s2)

Answer:

(a) Distance travelled by the stone while falling from the height 20 m to the ground = 20 m

The initial velocity of the stone = 0

Acceleration of the stone = g

By using the second equation of  motion, we can write, s=ut+12gt2

Here, u = 0, s = 20 m, and 't'  is the time taken by the stone to reach the ground.

So,

20 =0 + 12×g×t2t2=40g=4010=4t=4 s

(b) Using the first equation of motion, we can write, v = u + gt (Where 'v' is the speed of the stone when it hits the ground)

So, v = 0 + 10×4=40 m/s

Question 5:

What is a soundboard? Explain the working of a soundboard with the help of a labelled diagram.

Answer:

In big halls or auditoriums, the sound is absorbed by the walls, ceilings, and seats, that's why a curved board is placed behind the speaker such that the speaker is at the focus point of the curved surface. The curved surface or the board used for this purpose is known as a soundboard.

Soundboard makes the sound of the speaker louder and clear because after multiple reflections of the sound at the curved surface all the reflected rays distribute uniformly to the audience and sound is heard more clearly. As you can see in the figure, the source is always placed at the focus of the curved surface, and curved board is placed behind the source of the sound so that the sound gets reflected from the soundboard and distributed uniformly to the front.

Question 11:

(a) Define velocity. What is the SI unit of velocity?
(b) What is the difference between speed and velocity?
(c) Convert a speed of 54 km/h into m/s.

Answer:

(a) The rate of change of displacement is known as the velocity. It can be calculated by obtaining the ratio of displacement and the total time taken. The SI unit of velocity is 'm/s', same as of the speed. 

(b) Speed is the rate of change of distance travelled by a body whereas velocity is the rate of change of displacement by the body. Speed is a directionless quantity but the velocity is a vector quantity, we need magnitude as well as direction to describe it. 

(c) Given speed, = 54 km/h

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 s

So, v=54 kmh=54×1000 m3600 s=54036 m/s

 v =54 km/h = 15 m/s

Question 12:

Define green revolution. What are the common objectives of crop improvement?

Answer:

The Green Revolution refers to a period when technologically advanced methods were introduced in the field of agriculture for improving the yield. Green Revolution made its way into the Indian agricultural field in late 1960s. High Yielding Varieties (HYV) of seeds of wheat and rice were used by Indian farmers for increasing production. In addition, the use of fertilizers and pesticides greatly improved the overall yield and made India self-sufficient in food grain production.

The common objectives of crop improvemnt are -
 

1. Develop stable and high yielding varieties of both food and cash crops
2. Develop varieties with high nutritional value and good storage qualities
3. Conserve the germplasm of important crops
4. Develop appropriate production and management package for good agricultural production

Question 13:

(a) When an incense stick (agarbatti) is lighted in one corner of a room, its fragrance
(b) A girl is cooking some food in the kitchen. The smell of food being cooked soon reaches her brother's room. Explain how the smell could have reached her brother's room.

Answer:

(a) Atoms of incense stick when lighted get mixed with the particles of air. Then we are able to smell its fragrance.
This shows that atoms intermix with each other and the process is known as diffusion.

(b) Due to the diffusion of gases, particles of food cooking in the kitchen get mixed with air. Due to diffusion particles move from higher concentration to the lower concentration, so the smell of food reached her brother's room.

Question 14:

Hydrogen has three isotopes written as:
H11, H12, H13
Explain Why:
(a) These isotopes have almost identical chemical properties.
(b) They are electrically neutral.

Answer:

(a) The isotope of hydrogen is chemically similar because isotopes of the atom of the same element have the same atomic number but the different mass number. As the electronic configuration is the same. Due to this, there will be the same valence electrons and they have the same chemical properties.

(b) The isotopes of the hydrogen atom are electrically neutral because the number of protons and the number of electrons is equal. They both cancel out their charges resulting in the net charge zero.

Question 15:

A car of mass 2400 kg moving with a velocity of 20 ms−1 is stopped in 10 seconds on applying brakes. Calculate the retardation and the retarding force.

Answer:

The initial velocity of the car = 20 ms−1 

The final velocity of the car = 0

Time taken by the car to stop = 10 s

Using the first equation of motion, we can write, v = u + at

So,
 0 = 20+ a×10

a =-2 ms-2

Hence, retardation is 2 ms-2

Retarding force = mass × retarding acceleration
                         = 2400 kg × 2 ms-2 
                              
= 4800 kg ms-2
                              
= 4800 N

(b) Give any two uses of radioactive isotopes.
(c) An element Z contains two naturally occurring isotopes Z1735 and Z1737. If the average atomic mass of this element be 35.5 u, calculate the percentage of two isotopes.

Answer:

(a) Radioactive isotopes are those isotopes of an element which have an unstable nucleus. Because of this, the radioactive isotopes undergo radioactive decay by emitting alpha, beta, and gamma radiation to gain the stability of the nucleus. For eg, O15, Co60, etc.

(b) Uses of radioactive isotopes:
(i) Radioactive isotopes are used to determine the age of rocks and minerals.
(ii) It is used to treat cancer, detect blood clots and diagnose thyroid.

(c) Let the percentage of Z1735 = X
Then the percentage of Z1737 = 100 - X
Average atomic weight of Z = 35.5u
Now, 
35.5=35.X+37.(100-X)10035.5=35X+3700-37X10035.5×100=3700-2X3550-3700=-2X-150=-2XX=75

Therefore, Z1735 = 75% and, Z1737 = 100-75 = 25%

Question 20:

The mass of a planet is 6×1024 kg and its diameter is 12.8 ×103 km. If the value of a gravitational constant is 6.7 ×10-11 Nm2/kg2, calculate the value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet. What planet could this be?

Answer:

The value of acceleration due to gravity is given by the relation, g=GMR2 (Where 'M' is the mass and 'R' is the radius of the planet)

Mass of the planet = 6×1024 kg

The radius of the planet = Diameter2=12.8×103 km2=6.4×103 km

Gravitational constant = 6.7 ×10-11 Nm2/kg2

So, g=6.7×10-11 Nm2kg-2 × 6×1024 kg(6.4×103×103 m)2=9.8 ms-2

This planet could be earth because the value of acceleration due to gravity is the same on the planet earth.

Question 26:

A coin and a piece of paper are dropped simultaneously from the same height. Which of the two will touch the ground first? What will happen if the coin and the piece of paper are dropped in a vacuum? Give reasons for your answer.

Answer:

If a coin and a piece of paper are dropped simultaneously from the same height in the air, then the coin will touch the ground first and the paper will touch later. Because the paper will experience an air resistance due to its lightweight whereas coin has more weight, so air resistance won't affect coin.

But if the same coin and paper are dropped simultaneously in a vacuum then both the coin and the paper will reach the ground at the same time, because in a vacuum there will not be any kind of air resistance and gravity will take them both down at the same time.

Question 27:

A ball falls to the ground as shown below:



(a) What is the kinetic energy of ball when it hits the ground?
(b) What is the potential energy of ball at B?
(c) Which law you have made use of in answering this question?

Answer:

(a) In the given case, the mechanical energy of the ball will always remain conserved. Hence, the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy will always remain constant.

At the highest point A, total mechanical energy = Potential energy + Kinetic energy = 80 J + 0 J = 80 J

At the lowest point, total mechanical energy =  total mechanical energy at the highest point

So, at the lowest point, Potential energy + Kinetic energy  = 80 J = 0 + Kinetic energy

Hence, at the lowest point, kinetic energy is 80 J.

(b) As we know that mechanical energy is constant throughout the motion.

So, mechanical energy at point B = Mechanical energy at point A

Mechanical energy at point B  = Potential energy at point B + Kinetic energy at point B = 80 J

Potential energy at point B = 80 J - 48 J = 32 J

(c) The law of conservation of mechanical energy has been used while answering the above questions.
