General Instructions:

(1) All questions are compulsory. There are 33 questions in all.

(2) This question paper has five sections Section A. Section B, Section C, Section D and Section E.

(3) Section A contains ten very short answer questions and four assertion reasoning of 1 mark each, Section B has two case based questions of 4 marks each, Section C contains nine short answer questions of 2 marks each,

Section D contains five short answer questions of 3 marks each and Section E contains three long answers questions of 5 marks each

(4) There is no overall choice. However internal choice is provided. You have to attempt only one of the choices in such questions.

SECTION A

1. What is the cgs unit of pressure?
2. State first law of thermodynamics.
3. The velocities of three molecules are 3v, 4v and 5v. Calculate their root mean square velocity.
4. What is the law of equi-partition of energy?
5. Why the amplitude of the vibrating pendulum should be small?
6. In the arrangement shown in the figure, the block of m is displaced, what is the frequency of oscillation?
7. Two sound sources produce 12 beats in 4 seconds. By how much do those frequencies differ?
8. Write any one factor on which the speed of sound depends.
9. What do you mean by absolute error?
10. Plot x-t graph for uniform motion.

For question numbers 11, 12, 13 and 14, two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.

(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

(b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

(c) A is true but R is false

(d) A is false and R is also false.

11. Assertion. The dot product of one vector with another vector may be a scalar or a vector

Reason: If the product of two vectors is a vector then product is called a dot product. 12. Assertion: Frictional forces are conservative forces

Reason: Potential energy can be associated with frictional force

13. Assertion Centripetal force does no work.

Reason: Force is always directed along the displacement

14: Assertion When a pendulum is made to oscillate on the surface of the Moon its time period increases.

Reason: Moon is much smaller as compared to earth.

SECTION B

15. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. It is measured in the SI unit of Newton and represented by the symbol F.The original form of Newton’s second law states that the net force acting upon an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes with time. If the mass of the object is constant, this law implies that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object, is in the direction of the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

(i) What is Newton’s second law?

(ii) Is momentum a vector quantity?

(iii) A force of5N acts on a body of weight 9.8 N. What is the acceleration produced in that body?

(iv)A ball of mass 0.2 kg moves with a velocity of 20 m/sec and it stops in 0.1 sec then what is the force on the ball.

16. The first law of thermodynamics is a version of the law of conservation of energy, adapted for thermodynamic processes, distinguishing two kinds of transfer of energy, as heat and as thermodynamic work, and relating them to a function of a body’s state, called Internal energy. The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed.

(i) What is the SI unit of heat?

(ii) What do you mean by internal energy?

(iii) Heat given to a system is 35 joules and work done by the system is 15 joules. What will be the change in the internal energy of the system?
