Question 15 1.2 / -0
Two blocks X and Y of same material are fully immersed in the water. X is cone having same radius and height 'r' and Y is a sphere of radius r. Then the buoyant force is
Solution
Up thrust acting on the immersed block is equal to the weight of the water displaced.
Up thrust = Density of the water × Volume displaced × Acceleration due to gravity.
Hence, greater is the volume displaced, greater is the upthrust.
Volume displaced by the cone (X) is
Volume displaced by the sphere (Y) is
Volume displaced by the sphere is more than the volume displaced by the cone. Hence, upthrust acting on the sphere is more.
Question 16 1.2 / -0
What kind of force does a fireman experiences while struggling to hold a hose – pipe?
Solution
This is because the stream of water rushing through the hose-pipe in the forward direction with a large speed exerts a large force on the hose-pipe in the backward direction. The force exerted on the hose-pipe in the backward direction is known as the reaction force. This reaction force tends to move the hose-pipe in the backward direction. Therefore, a fireman struggles to hold the hose-pipe strongly to keep it at rest.
Question 17 1.2 / -0
A gunman fires a bullet of mass 15 g with a velocity of 444 m/s. The bullet got embed in a freely suspended wooden case which is of mass 900 g. Find the velocity acquired by the wooden case.
Solution
Initial momentum of the bullet = 15 x 444 = 6660 g m/s
Initial momentum of the wooden case = 900 g x 0 = 0
Total momentum of the system before collision = 6660 + 0 = 6660 g m/s
Let the velocity of the wooden case after the collision be v.
As the bullet and the wooden case move together
The mass of the system = 15 + 900 = 915 g
We know that,
momentum = mass x velocity = 915 g x v
Applying the law of conservation of momentum,
6660g m/s = 915 g x v
So, v =
= 7.27 m/s
Question 18 1.2 / -0
Which force directs the passengers to fall sideways when a speeding car takes a sharp turn?
Solution
When a speeding car takes a sharp turn, the centripetal force helps keep the car in its curved track. The part of passenger's body that is in contact with the car will be in its position due to frictional force. The rest of the body of the passengers will experience a centrifugal force which is directed away from the center of the curved path. So the passengers tend to fall sideways when a speeding car takes a sharp turn.

Question 27 1.2 / -0
The following points are the postulates of an important theory regarding the states of matter: (i) Matter in any state is composed of small particles, which may be molecules, atoms, or ions. (ii) Particles are arranged in such a way that there is space between the particles. The amount of interparticle space differs in different forms of matter. (iii) Particles are in continuous random motion. (iv) Molecules of a given substance attract each other. The theory represented here is
Solution
The Kinetic molecular theory is based on the following postulates, or assumptions: 1. Gases are composed of a large number of particles that behave like hard, spherical objects in a state of constant, random motion.2. These particles move in a straight line until they collide with another particle or the walls of the container. 3. These particles are much smaller than the distance between particles. Most of the volume of a gas is therefore empty space. 4. There is no force of attraction between gas particles or between the particles and the walls of the container. 5. Collisions between gas particles or collisions with the walls of the container are perfectly elastic. None of the energy of a gas particle is lost when it collides with another particle or with the walls of the container. 6. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles depends on the temperature of the gas and nothing else.

Question 43 1.2 / -0
The following question consists of an Assertion (A) and a Reason (R). Read both statements carefully and mark the appropriate option. (A) Assertion: The contents fizz out when a bottle of soda water is opened. (R) Reason: The contents from a bottle of soda water fizz out more if the bottle is opened after it has been placed in the sunlight for some time.
Solution
Soda water consists of carbon dioxide dissolved in water. Since solubility of gases increases with pressure, the bottles are sealed under pressure. On opening the bottle, pressure is released and the dissolved gas escapes into the atmosphere, which is why we see the effervescence. Solubility of a gas decreases with increase in temperature and fizzing is more if contents of the bottle are at a higher temperature. Hence, both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the right explanation of (A).
