Question 12 1.2 / -0
A train is moving with a constant acceleration of 2m/s2 .A boy sitting in train throws up a ball , the ball stays in air for 1 seconds then
Solution
The distance traveled by boys is ( velocity of boy X time ) + (1/2)at2 Horizontal distance traveled by boy = ( velocity of boy X time ) Difference is distance = ( velocity of boy X time ) + (1/2)at2 - ( velocity of boy X time ) = (1/2)at2 = (1/2)2(1)2 = 1 m The distance traveled by boy is 1 m more than the ball hence, the ball will fall 1m behind the boy.
Question 13 1.2 / -0
Why does the motion of a moving vehicle along a circular path with uniform speed is said to be non-uniform?
Solution
Velocity of an object is the distance covered in a particular direction in unit time. If a vehicle is moving on a circular path with uniform speed, then its motion is said to be non-uniform because on a circular path, the direction of moving body changes along with the direction of curve.
Question 14 1.2 / -0
The following experiment is used to demonstrate:-
Solution
The inherit property of a body by virtue of which it resists any change in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line on its own is called its inertia. Inertia is a property of matter that causes it to resist changes in velocity. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object with a given velocity maintains that velocity unless acted on by an external force.The amount of inertia that an object possesses is proportional to its mass.To prove this we can take an empty and dry glass tumbler. Place a square piece of thick, smooth card over the mouth of the glass. Place a coin at the centre of the card. Now, flick the card horizontally striking it hard with your finger. The card piece flies away and the coin falls into the glass.
Question 15 1.2 / -0
A box of mass 5 kg is kept in a truck moving with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s2 . If the coefficient of friction is between the box and the surface of truck is n = 0.1, find the force exerted on the box in frame of truck.
Solution
The box will experience a pseudo force in frame of truck = (acceleration of truck) x (mass of box) = 2 x 5 = 10 N. This force is opposed by friction force = n x mg = 0.1 x 10 x 5 = 5 N. Then, net force on the box = 10 - 5 = 5 N
Question 16 1.2 / -0

Solution
Let h
1 be the initial height.
Question 18 1.2 / -0
Why is the weight of an object on the moon
th of its weight on the earth?
Solution
The weight of an object on the earth is the force with which the earth attracts the object. Similarly, the weight of an object on the moon is the force with which the moon attracts the object. The value of g on moon is
th of the value of g on earth (g is the acceleration due to gravity). As mass of object is same everywhere, that is why, the weight of an object on the moon is
th of its weight on the earth.

Solution
If the direction of vibration of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of wave motion such a wave is called transverse wave. Properties of transverse waves are as follow:- Transverse waves propagate in the form of crests and troughs. There is no difference in pressure created in the medium while the wave propagates. These waves can pass through solids and of surface of liquids only, as the propagation of these waves causes change in the shape of the medium.

Question 47 1.2 / -0
Which of the following experiment can be used to show the effect of heat on the temperature and physical state of water?
Solution
Experiment 1 demonstrates the effect of heat on the temperature and physical state of water. The temperature of ice increases on heating, till it attains its melting point i.e., 0o C. The temperature remains steady till all of the ice has melted as the heat supplied is used to overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction. After the melting is complete, the temperature increases on heating till the boiling point of water i.e., 100o C is attained. Again the temperature remains steady till the phase conversion continues and will rise only when all the water has converted into steam. Experiment 2 demonstrates the process of sublimation on heating, but the temperature change cannot be observed and recorded. Experiment 3 demonstrates the property of water as a solvent. Experiment 4 demonstrates the effect of heat on the solubility of a substance.

Question 49 1.2 / -0
The following experiment can be used to demonstrate that sound is produced by a vibrating body. Label it correctly.
Solution
The aim of this experiment is to demonstrate that sound is produced by a vibrating body. Aids needed for this experiment are tuning fork, rubber pad, table tennis ball, thread and a stand. Hit the tuning fork hard against a rubber pad. It produces sound. If you look at the prongs of the tuning fork closely, they look hazy because they are vibrating. Suspend the table tennis ball with the thread tied to the stand. Bring the prong of the vibrating tuning fork near the ball. The ball jumps to and fro. This shows that the prongs of the tuning fork are vibrating and shows that every source of sound is a vibrating body.
Question 50 1.2 / -0
Study the following graphs carefully and find the correct option.
Solution
Graph shown in (A) represents uniform motion of an object. A body is said to have uniform motion if it travels equal distances in equal intervals of time. Graph shown in (B) represents non-uniform motion of an object. A body is said to have non-uniform motion if it travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time. Figure (C) represents zero displacement. Displacement can be zero even if the distance is not zero. For example, when a body is thrown vertically upwards from a level A on the ground and after some time it returns to the same level A, then the displacement of the body is zero but the distance travelled by the body is not zero.
