Question 29.
Bring out the character of the grandfather and the mother in the lesson, ‘The Night the Ghost got in’.
Answer:
The narrator’s grandfather is an oldtimer of the Union army of the Civil War, which terminated about fifty-two years ago. His bedroom is in the attic. When the police come to the house to search for the burglar, the grandfather thinks that they are militaries who are abandoning because they are losing to the South. The grandfather calls them “cowardly dog” and “lily- livered cattle” and then fetches a policeman’s holster and shoots a man with his own gun.

The police retreat, terrified of the irrational old man but at the breakfast table the next morning, Grandfather seems impeccably conscious of the previous night’s situation, asking why so many police had been “tarryhootin” around the house. On the contraryj the narrator’s mother, Mrs Thurber is a highly excitable woman, scatter brained yet practical at times. Hearing a sound in her house and suspecting a burglar, she thinks of the clever plan of alerting Mrs and Mr.

Bodwell the neighbours by throwing a shoe through his closed window. After he goes to alert the police, she considers throwing the matching shoe, a thrill and fanciful act. She is surprised to hear that Grandfather has shot a policeman, not because of the courageous ferocity of the act, but because the cop was such a nice-looking young man.
“Great powers don’t get angry
Nor do they act in haste”

Question 30.
How do we use technology in our day to day lives?
Answer:
Technology is growing day after day and we all depend on technology. Today we have various developing technologies that impact our lives in different ways. As the world keeps on developing, technology will change. Keeping oneself updated is very important in this modem world. It has totally transformed the life of an individual.

A Refrigerator is programmed to replenish food when the vegetables or milk or eggs are over. Ink cartridges too self-order replacements when it is empty. Technology helps one to manage entertainment and home appliances by voice commands or swapping the finger. When you are bored watching a programme on TV, you can just inform your smart TV your desire to view your social feed. Technology helps you to watch programmes understanding your mood swings.

When caught in traffic, technology permits your kettle to prepare tea for you to sip it hot the moment you reach home. Technology also automates all water and energy management systems. Therefore, accepting it and learning how to use technology in whatever we do is highly important and recommended.
“We are changing the world with Technology.”

Question 31.
Give a brief character sketch of Sasanka Sanyal.
Answer:
Sasanka Sanyal was a wise and intelligent student. Perhaps luck never favoured him. He may have been a book-worm. However, he was overpowered by his friends because of his innocence. Hence, Aditya Narayan Chowdhury exploits him and takes away his Silver medal that he had received for Poetry Recitation. He had a wonderful memory power and could recall every single incident of his past. He remembered Aditya when he saw him in Nagen’s Tea Cabin and confirmed his memory seeing his mole on the right cheek.

He was rude in his behaviour towards Aditya as he did not want to suppress his feelings and vented out his anger on him. He was remorse after the death of his family members. He whiled away his time at Nagen’s shop yet never gave up his self-respect and paid for the cup of coffee and biscuits if in case he had. Financially, he wasn’t comfortable since he couldn’t afford even a spectacle because of his partial deformity in his eye-sight.
“Self-respect permeates every aspect of your life.”

Question 32.
How was the last lesson different from earlier lessons?
Answer:
The last lesson was different from earlier lessons in numerous ways. It revealed the love and respect of the teacher and students for their mother tongue. Even the teacher was unusually kind and did not scold children. M. Hamel taught very patiently, with utmost dedication and sincerity. It seemed as if he wanted to give all that he knew before going away.

He was dressed at his best and his ‘iron ruler’ was not used even to rap it on the desk. The last lesson was attended by villagers with deep remorse to show their love and respect for their mother tongue and also to M. Hamel. The students listened very carefully and everybody was absolutely quiet. Franz regretted for not learning his lesson. The last lesson was indeed emotional. It stirred patriotic feelings and awakened the villagers to the importance of their mother tongue.
“The bird of love flies on two wings-
Faith and Dedicated Service.”

Section – II

Answer any TWO of the following in utmost 10 lines. [2 x 5 = 10]

Question 33.
In what way do we dispossess, betray and condemn ourselves by hating our brothers and taking up arms against them?
Answer:
By hating our brothers and taking up arms against them, we ‘dispossess’ ourselves as we rob ourselves of their love. When we hate them, they too react destructively and stop loving us. Mutually, we deprive each other of the noble emotion of love. We deceive ourselves as our hatred leads to wars, and wars cause widespread death and devastation.

This leads to the piling up of waste that pollutes our own mother earth. The dust and smoke from war obstruct the air that we breathe. So, hatred of fellow beings, in fact, leads to betrayal of our own selves. Further, this earns us condemnation as we disrupt the purity of the elements of nature. We threaten our own existence by ruining the systems that sustain us. Hence, hating our brothers and taking up arms against them does more damage to us.
“The universal brotherhood of man is our most precious possession.”

Question 34.
What qualities have made women powerful?
Answer:
The woman is made powerful due to her multifaceted personality. Today’s women are empowered, brave, strong and resolute. They love to explore and venture into new horizons. They are persistent and work tirelessly to prove what they are capable of. Her inner beauty, her supremacy and strength makes her all-powerful. She exhibits her power by showcasing her fearless nature. She is the symbol of strength as she is strong in her faith and beliefs.

She is seen as all-powerful because of her determined nature. She may sigh, cry and moan but is strong in her hope and firm in her trust. She is a lioness, brave and daring and one dare not muddle with her. If anyone is a mischief maker, she will not spare them. The woman should be feared cautiously since she would thaw or saw you for your deeds against her.
“A Woman believes in being strong, even when things seem to go wrong.”

Question 35.

Question 36.
Paraphrase the following stanza.
It is the human earth that we defile.
Our hells of fire and dust outrage the innocence
Of air that is everywhere our own,
Remember, no men are foreign, and no countries strange.
Answer:
The poet again retells us in that people are contaminating this earth by their deeds. The fatal weapons emit fire and ashes that spread all over and pollute the environment. War is futile as it spoils the very earth for which we take up arms against each other. We should protect our atmosphere and keep in mind that this universe is the creation of God and we all are one. It is, therefore, imperative not to consider any human being as foreign and any country as strange.

Question 43.
Make notes or write a summary of the following passage.
Economics has become one of the important branches of social sciences. It is of great practical value in our daily life. In pure sciences, we study the subject to arrive at the truth. But an economist is a social scientist. He studies the subject not only to know the truth for its own sake, but to find out a way for many economic and social problems of the society. “Knowledge for knowledge’s sake” is not the goal of an economist.

Economics must be fruit bearing. Of course, an economist has no ready made answer for immediate problems. But he can help the government in making broad economic policies. According to J.M. Keynes, “the theory of economics does not furnish a body of settled conclusions immediately applicable to policy. It is a method, rather than doctrine, an apparatus of the mind, a technique of thinking, which helps its possessor to draw correct conclusions”.

Most of the problem of the modern state are economic in nature. So economists play an important role in the affairs of the state. During World War II, the German economy was damaged heavily. There was inflation, shortage of goods and mass unemployment. But the German economy recovered quickly by following the advice of an economist Ludwig Erhard. The German recovery is considered an economic miracle. Similarly, J.M. Keynes had great influence on the economic policies of the American government when it was in great economic trouble during the 1930s. In economics, we study about things like prices, rent, wages, interest, profits and taxation. All these affect every person in one way or the other. It has been rightly said, “you cannot be in any real sense a citizen, unless you are also in some degree an economist.”

The Story of Mulan portrays the legendary Chinese warrior Hua Mulan. This old Chinese folktale is about the story of the young Chinese maiden who learns that her wizened, old and frail father is to be called up into the army in order to fight the invading Huns by the Chinese Emperor. When the Huns invade China, one man from every family is called to arms. She hears of the order that every family must send one man to the army while washing clothes. Mulan’s father, who is frail and aged decides to fight for his country though it is clear that he will not survive an enemy encounter.

He decides to go to war but is prevented by her daughter with her outrageous decision. Knowing her father’s frail state, she decides to disguise herself and join in his place without second thoughts. In the army, Mulan proves to be a brave soldier who is later put in charge of other soldiers. Her battles goes so well that more soldiers are added. After a few years, Mulan becomes the General of the entire army. Suddenly, bad fever swept through the army. Many soldiers including Mulan become a prey. The arrival of the doctor brings to light the hidden truth.

Many soldiers disprove such a thought, though some soldiers see the winning chances. Just then a soldier announces the surprise attack by the enemies. With no time to debate, the soldiers spring to action at the command of the General who hears this from inside her tent. She gets dressed and though not strong, she stands tall. She instructs the soldiers to attack knowing very well her strategic planning that all her soldiers acknowledge and win the battle. It was such a big victory that the enemy gave up, at last. The war was over, and China was saved! The Emperor forgives Mulan and was glad that Mulan had ended the long war.

He wanted Mulan to stay with him in the palace and be an advisor but as She chose to go to her family, the emperor gave her six horses and six fine swords so that her people will know that he thinks of her.

Bigot
The bigot insults his own religion When he slays a man of another faith.
Conduct the judges, not in the light of reason;
In the temple, he raises the blood-stained banner And worships the devil in the name of God.
All that is shameful and barbarous through the Ages,
Has found a shelter in their temples—
Those they turn into prisons;
O’ I hear the trumpet call of Destruction!
The time comes with her great broom Sweeping all refuse away.
That which should make man free,
They turn into fetters;
That which should unite, they turn into a sword;
That which should bring love From the fountain of the Eternal,
They turn into a prison
And with its waves, they flood the world.
They try to cross the river In a bark riddled with holes;
And yet, in their anguish, whom do they blame Oh Lord, breaking false religion,
Save the blind!
Break, O break
The altar that is drowned in blood.
Let your thunder strike Into the prison of false religion,
And bring to this unhappy land The light of knowledge

Question 40.
Elaborate the Public Distribution System.
Answer:

1. The increase in food grain production need not result in increase in access to food for all. Given the unequal distribution of income and the level of poverty that persists in Indian economy, the government took steps to distribute food grains at subsidised rates through the Public Distribution System (PDS).

2. The nature, scope and functioning of PDS varies from state to state. While Tamil Nadu has adopted an ‘Universal’ PDS, the rest of the states in India had a ‘Targeted’ PDS. Under universal PDS all the family ration card holders are entitled to the supplies from PDS.

3. In the targeted PDS, the beneficiaries are identified based on certain criteria and given their entitlements, leaving out the rest. Both the Union and the State governments subsidised the supplies distributed through PDS. The level and quantum of subsidy also varied across states.

VI. Very short answer questions.

Question 1.
Define the unit of current.
Answer:
The current flowing through a conductor is said to be one ampere, when a charge of one coulomb flows across any cross-section of a conductor, in one second. Hence,
1 ampere = \(\frac{1 coulomb}{1 second}\)

Answer:
Electric Potential: It is the amount of work done in moving unit positive charge from infinity to that point against the electric force.
Electric potential

Potential difference : It is the amount of work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to another against the electric force.
Potential difference V_A – V_B = \(\frac{W_{A}-W_{B}}{Q}\)

Question 2.
What is the role of the earth wire in domestic circuits?
Answer:

1. The earth wire provides a low resistance path to the electric current.
2. The earth wire sends the current from the body of the appliance to the Earth, whenever a live wire accidentally touches the body of the metallic electric appliance.
3. Thus, the earth wire serves as a protective conductor, which saves us from electric shocks.

Question 3.
State Ohm’s law.
Answer:
According to Ohm’s law, at a constant temperature, the steady current ‘I’ flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference ‘V’ between the two ends of the conductor.
I ∝ V. Hence, = \(\frac{1}{V}\) = constant.
The value of this proportionality constant is found to \(\frac{1}{R}\)
Therefore, I = (\(\frac{1}{R}\)) V
V = IR

Question 4.
Distinguish between the resistivity and conductivity of a conductor.
Answer:

Question 5.
What connection is used in domestic appliances and why?
Answer:

1. In the domestic appliance, it is used as a parallel connection to avoid short circuit and breakage.
2. It has an alternative current (AC). Not DC current as it is from cables, so high potential flows through this.
3. One more advantage of the parallel connection of circuits is that each electric appliance gets an equal voltage.

VIII. Long answer Questions.

Question 1.
With the help of a circuit diagram derive the formula for the resultant resistance of three resistances connected:
(a) in series and
(b) in parallel
Answer:
(a) Resistors in series : A series circuit connects the components one after the other to form a ‘single loop’. A series circuit has only one loop through which current can pass. If the circuit is interrupted at any point in the loop, no current can pass through the circuit and hence no electric appliances connected in the circuit will work. Series circuits are commonly used in devices such as flashlights. Thus, if resistors are connected end to end, so that the same current passes through each of them, then they are said to be connected in series.

Let, three resistances R₁, R₂ and R₃ be connected in series. Let the current flowing through theorem be I. According to Ohm’s Law, the potential differences V₁,V₂ and V₃ across R₁, R₂ and R₃ respectively, are given by:
V₁ = I R₁ ………. (1)
V₂ = I R₂ ……… (2)
v₃ = I R₃ ………. (3)
The sum of the potential differences across the ends of each resistor is given by:
V = V₁ + V₂ + V₃
Using equations (1), (2) and (3), we get
V = I R₁ + I R₂ + I R₃ …….. (4)
The effective resistor is a single resistor, which can replace the resistors effectively, so as to allow the same current through the electric circuit. Let, the effective resistance of the series-combination of the resistors, be R_S.
Then,
V = I R_S ……….(5)
Combining equations (4) and (5), we get,
I R_S = I R₁ + I R₂ + I R₃
R_S = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ ……….. (6)
Thus, you can understand that when a number of resistors are connected in series, their equivalent resistance or effective resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances. When ‘n’ resistors of equal resistance R are connected in series, the equivalent resistance is ‘n R’.
i.e., R_S = n R
The equivalent resistance in a series combination is greater than the highest of the individual resistances.

(b) Resistors in Parallel : A parallel circuit has two or more loops through which current can pass. If the circuit is disconnected in one of the loops, the current can still pass through the other loop(s). The wiring in a house consists of parallel circuits.

Consider that three resistors R₁, R₂ and R₃ are connected across two common points A and B The potential difference across each resistance is the same and equal to the potential difference between A and B. This is me sured using the voltmeter. The current I arriving at A divides into three branches I₁, I₂ and I₃ passing through R₁, R₂ and R₃ respectively.
According to the Ohm’s law, you have,

The total current through the circuit is given by
I = I₁ + I₂ + I₃
Using equations (1), (2) and (3), you get
I = \(\frac{V}{R_1}\) + \(\frac{V}{R_2}\) + \(\frac{V}{R_3}\) ……… (4)
Let the effective resistance of the parallel combination of resistors be R_P Then,
I = \(\frac{V}{R_P}\) ……… (5)
Combining equations (4) and (5), you have

Thus, when a number of resistors are connected in parallel, the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances is equal to the reciprocal of the effective or equivalent resistance. When ‘n’ resistors of equal resistances R are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is \(\frac{R}{n}\)

The equivalent resistance in a parallel combination is less than the lowest of the individual resistances.

Question 2.
(a) What is meant by electric current? Give its direction?
(b) Name and define its unit.
(c) Which instrument is used to measure the electric current? How should it be r connected in a circuit?
Answer:
(a) (i) Electric current is often termed as ‘current’ and it is represented by the symbol ‘I’. It is defined as the rate of flow of charges in a conductor.
(ii) The electric current represents the number of charges flowing in any cross-section of a conductor (say a metal wire) in unit time.

(b) The SI unit of electric current is ampere (A).
The current flowing through a conductor is said to be one ampere, when a charge of one coulomb flows across any cross-section of a conductor, in one second. Hence,
1 ampere = \(\frac{1 \text { coulomb }}{1 \text { second }}\)

(c) (i) The ammeter is used to measure the current.
(ii) An Ammeter is connected in series with the circuit.
(iii) The Ammeter is a low impedance device connecting it in parallel with the circuit would cause a short circuit, damaging the Ammeter or the circuit.

Question 3.
(a) State Joule’s law of heating.
(b) An alloy of nickel and chromium is used as the heating element. Why?
(c) How does a fuse wire protect electrical appliances?
Answer:
(a) Joule’s law of heating states that the heat produced in any resistor is:

1. directly proportional to the square of the current passing through the resistor.
2. directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor.
3. directly proportional to the time for which the current is passing through the resistor.

(b) Because,

1. It has high resistivity,
2. It has a high melting point,
3. It is not easily oxidized.

(c) When a large current passes through the circuit, the fuse wire melts due to Joule’s heating effect and hence the circuit gets disconnected. Therefore, the circuit and the electric appliances are saved from any damage.

Question 4.
Explain about domestic electric circuits, (circuit diagram not required)
Answer:

1. Electricity is distributed through the domestic electric circuits wired by the electricians.
2. The first stage of the domestic circuit is to bring the power supply to the main-box from a distribution panel, such as a transformer.
3. The important components of the main-box are: (i) a fuse box and (ii) a meter. The meter is used to record the consumption of electrical energy.
4. The fuse box contains either a fuse wire or a miniature circuit breaker (MCB).
5. The function of the fuse wire or an MCB is to protect the household electrical appliances from overloading due to excess current.

Question 5.
(a) What are the advantages of LED TV over the normal TV?
(b) List the merits of LED bulb.
Answer:
(a) Advantages of LED TV:

1. It has brighter picture quality.
2. It is thinner in size.
3. It uses less power and consumes very less energy.
4. Its life span is more.
5. It is more reliable.

(b) Advantages of LED bulb:

1. As there is no filament, there is no loss of energy in the form of heat.
2. It is cooler than the incandescent bulb.
3. In comparison with the fluorescent light, the LED bulbs have significantly low power requirement.
4. It is not harmful to the environment.
5. A wide range of colours is possible here.
6. It is cost-efficient and energy efficient.
7. Mercury and other toxic materials are not required. One way of overcoming the energy crisis is to use more LED bulbs.

IX. Numerical problems.

Question 1.
An electric iron consumes energy at the rate of 420 W when heating is at the maximum rate and 180 W when heating is at the minimum rate. The applied voltage is 220 V. What is the current in each case?
Answer:
(i) When heating is maximum, the power
P₁ = 420 W
Applied voltage V = 220 V
P = VI
Current I = \(\frac{P}{V}\)
I = \(\frac{420}{220}\) = 1.909 A
I = 1.909 A

(ii) When heating is minimum
Power P₂ = 180 W
Applied voltage V = 220 V
P = VI
∴ Current I = \(\frac{P}{V}\)
I = \(\frac{180}{220}\) = 0.8181 A
I = 0.8181 A

Question 2.
A 100-watt electric bulb is used for 5 hours daily and four 60 watt bulbs are used for 5 hours daily. Calculate the energy consumed (in kWh) in the month of January.
Solution:
100 W = 100 joules per second
1 watt hours = 3600 joules
The electric bulb is lighted for 5 hours daily,
100 W × 5 = 500 watt hours
500 watt hours = 1800000 joules
1 kWh = 3600000 joules
Units consumed per day = \(\frac{1800000}{3600000}\) = 0.5 units
Untis consumed in month = 0.5 × 31 = 15.5 units …. (1)
Now, Sum of power of four 60 watt bulbs = 240 W
240 W × 5 hours = 1200 watt hours
1200 watt hours = 4320000 joules
Energy consumed per day = \(\frac{4320000}{3600000}\) = 1.2 units
Energy consumed in a month = 1.2 × 31 = 37.2 units …. (2)
Total energy consumed in a month = 15.5 + 37.2 = 52.7 units
1 unit = 1 kWh
The energy consumed in the month of January = 52.7 kWh.

Question 3.
A torch bulb is rated at 3 V and 600 mA. Calculate it’s
(a) power
(b) resistance
(c) energy consumed if it is used for 4 hour.
Answer:
Voltage V = 3 V
Current I = 600 mA
(a) Power = VI
= 3 × 600 × 10^-3
= 1800 × 10^-3
= 1.8 W

(c) Time = 4h
Energy consumed E = P × t
E = 1.8 × 4
= 7.2 W

Question 4.
A piece of wire having a resistance R is cut into five equal parts.
(a) How will the resistance of each part of the wire change compared with the original resistance?
(b) If the five parts of the wire are placed in parallel, how will the resistance of the combination change?
(c) What will be ratio of the effective resistance in series connection to that of the parallel connection?
Answer:
(a) Original resistance
R = \(\frac{l}{A}\)
∴ R α l
After cutting length of each piece
r = \(\frac{l}{5}\)
New resistance
R’ = \(\frac{l’}{A}\)
R’ α l’

R : R’ = 5 : 1

(b) When five parts of the wire are placed in parallel.
Effective Resistance

Resistance of the combinations
R_P = \(\frac{R}{25}\)

(c) When resistance are connected in series

R_S = R
When resistance are connected in parallel
R_P = \(\frac{R}{25}\)
R_S : R_P = R : \(\frac{R}{25}\)
= 25 R : R_1
R_S : R_P = 25 : 1

X. HOT Questions.

Question 1.
Two resistors when connected in parallel give the resultant resistance of 2 ohm; but when connected in series the effective resistance becomes 9 ohm. Calculate the value of each resistance.
Answer:
Let the resistance be R, and R2 when two resistances are connected in series
R_S = R₁ + R₂
= 9
R₁ + R₂ = 9 ……….(1)
When two resistance are connected in parallel

Using (1) equation (2) becomes
\(\frac{9}{R_{1}R_2}\)
R₁ R₂ = 18 ……….(3)
(R₁ – R₂)² = (R₁ + R₂)² – 4R₁R₂
= (9)² – 4 × 18
= 81 – 72 = 9
∴ (R₁ – R₂) = √9 = 3 ………(4)
From (1)
R₁ + R₂ = 9
2R₁ = 12
∴ R₁ = \(\frac{12}{2}\) = 6 ohm
From (1)
R₂ = 9 – R₁
= 9 – 6 = 3Ω
The values of resistances are
R₁ = 6 ohm
R₂ = 3 ohm

Question 2.
How many electrons are passing per second in a circuit in which there is a current of 5 A?
Solution:
Current I = 5A
Time (t) = 1 second
Charge of electron e = 1.6 × 10^-19 C
\(\mathbf{I}=\frac{q}{t}=\frac{n e}{t}\)
Number of electron, n = \(\frac{\mathrm{I} t}{e}\) = \(\frac{5 \times 1}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\)
n = 3.125 × 10¹⁹.

Question 3.
A piece of wire of resistance 10 ohm is drawn out so that its length is increased to three times its original length. Calculate the new resistance.
Answer:
Resistance R = 10Ω
Let l be the length of the wire R ∝ 1
When the length is increased to three times,
l’ = 3l
∴ New Resistance
R’ ∝ l’ ∝ 3l
∴ \(\frac{R}{R’}\) = \(\frac{l}{3l}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
∴ R’ = 3R
New resistance = 3 times the original resistance.

VIII. Long answer questions.

Question 1.
Tabulate various components used in electrical circuit and their uses?
Answer:

Question 2.
Explain series connection of parallel resistors.
Answer:

If we consider the connection of a set of parallel resistors that are connected in series, you get a series – parallel circuit. Let R₁ and R₂ be connected in parallel to give an effective resistance of R_p1. Similarly, let R₃, and R₄ be connected in parallel to give an effective resistance of R_p2. Then, both of these parallel segments are connected in series. Using equation we get

We get = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ ……….(1)
Finally, using equation (1), the net effective resistance is given by
R_total = R_P1 + R_P2

Question 3.
Explain parallel connection of series resistors.
Answer:
If you consider a connection of a set of series resistors connected in a parallel circuit, you get a parallel-series circuit. Let R₁ and R₂ be connected in series to give an effective resistance of R_S1. Similarly, let R₃ and R₄ be connected in series to give an effective resistance of R_S2. Then, both of these serial segments are connected in parallel.

Using equation
R_S = R₁ + R₂ + R₃
We get R_S1 = R₁ + R₂, R_S2 = R₃ + R₄
Finally, using equation
\(\frac{1}{R_P}\) = \(\frac{1}{R_1}\) + \(\frac{1}{R_2}\) + \(\frac{1}{R_3}\)
the net effective resistance is given by
\(\frac{1}{R_{total}}\) = \(\frac{1}{R_{S1}}\) + \(\frac{1}{R_{S2}}\)

Question 4.
Explain applications of heating effect.
Answer:
Electric Heating Device: The heating effect of electric current is used in many home appliances such as electric iron, electric toaster, electric oven, electric heater, geyser, etc. In these appliances Nichrome, which is an alloy of Nickel and Chromium is used as the heating element. Because:
(i) it has high resistivity,
(ii) it has a highmelting point,
(Hi) it is not easily oxidized.

Fuse Wire : The fuse wire is connected in series, in an electric circuit. When a large current passes through the circuit, the fuse wire melts due to Joule’s heating effect and hence the circuit gets disconnected. Therefore, the circuit and the electric appliances are saved from any damage. The fuse wire is made up of a material whose melting point is relatively low.

Filament in bulbs : In electric bulbs, a small wire is used, known as filament. The filament is made up of a material whose melting point is very high. When current passes through this wire, heat is produced in the filament. When the filament is heated, it glows and gives out light. Tungsten is the commonly used material to make the filament in bulbs.

(i) Calculate current passing through it and
(ii) Its resistance when in use.
Answer:
P = VI
I = \(\frac{P}{V}\)
Ohm’s law V = IR

(i) The amount of current passing
I = 3.4A
(ii) Resistance
R = 64.7Ω

Question 10.
Following graph was plotted between V and I values. What would be the values of \(\frac{V}{I}\) ratios when the potential difference is 0.8 V and 1.2 V?
Answer:

V₁ = 0.8V, I₁ = 32A; V₂ = 1.2V; I₂ = 48A

Question 11.
Three resistors of 2Ω, 4Ω and 8Ω are connected in parallel with a battery of 3 V. Calculate
(i) Current through each resistor and
(ii) Total current in the circuit.
Answer:

Potential difference across each resistor is same.
(i) Current through each resistor:

(ii) Total current in the circuit: I = I₁ + I₂ + I₃
I = 1.5 + 0.75 + 0. 375
I = 2.625 A

Question 12.
Two bulbs of 40 W and 60 W are connected in series to an external potential difference. Which bulb will glow brighter? Why?
Answer:
Let the external potential difference be 230 V

For 40 W bulb resistance is R

For 60 W bulb resistance is R

According to Ohm’s law
I = \(\frac{V}{R}\)
Current flowing through 40 W bulb is
\(\frac{230}{1322.5}\) = 0.1739 A
Current flowing through 60 W bulb is
\(\frac{230}{881.6}\) = 0.2608 A
When bulbs are connected in series effective resistance is
R_S = R₁+ R₂ = 1322.5 + 881.6
R_S = 2204.1Ω
Net current
I = \(\frac{230}{2204.1}\) = 0.1043 A
Using power equation P = I²R
For 40 W bulb P = I²R
= (0.1043)² × 1322.5
= (0.01087) × 1322.5 = 14.386 W
For 60 W bulb P = I²R
= (0.1043)² × 881.6
= (0.01087) × 881.6 = 9.5904 W
In a series system, higher the resistance, higher the brightness so, 40 W bulb glows brighter.

Question 13.
A wire is bent into a circle. The effective resistance across the diameter is 8Ω. Find the resistant if the wire.
Answer:
R_P = 8Ω = resistance across diameter
\(\frac{1}{R}\) + \(\frac{1}{R}\) = \(\frac{1}{8}\)
\(\frac{2}{R}\) = \(\frac{1}{8}\)
R = 16Ω
x is the resistance of the wire.
x = 16 + 16 = 32Ω
x = 32Ω

X. HOT Questions.

Question 1.
A 60 W bulb is connected in parallel with a room heater. This combination is connected across the mains. If 60 W bulb is replaced by a 100 W bulb what happens to the heat produced by the heater? Given reason.
Answer:
Heat produced by the heater will be same. When the bulb and a heater are connected in parallel and this combination is connected across the mains, potential difference across each is the same equal to the voltage V of the mains irrespective of the resistance of the bulb.

If R is the resistance of the heater then heat produced by the heater will be \(\frac{V^2}{R}\) in both cases. Hence heat produces by heater will not be changed.

Question 2.
Two bulbs 60 W and 100 W are connected in series and this combination is connected to a d.c power supply. Will the potential difference across 60 W bulb be higher than that across 100 W bulb?
Answer:
60 W bulb has a higher resistance than the resistance across 100 W bulb since the power developed is P = \(\frac{V^2}{R}\).
Potential difference across a bulb will be proportional to resistance. Hence potential difference across 60 W bulb is higher than that across 100 W bulb.

Question 3.
Super conductors has lowest resistance. Is it true. Give reason.
Answer:
True. When the temperature of super conductor is reduced to zero or near by zero its resistance becomes zero.

Question 4.
A constant voltage is applied between two ends of a uniform conducting wire. If both the length and radius of the wire is doubled then what happens to the heat produced in the wire?
Answer:
We know that resistance of a conducting wire is R = \(\frac{pl}{A}\)
\(\frac{Pl}{πr^{2}}\)
If length l and radius r are doubled, then resistance will become half. But heat produced H = \(\frac{V^2}{R}\).
Hence, heat produced per second will become thrice.

Question 5.
Calculate the effective resistance between A and B.
Answer:

The electrical circuit can be redrawn as

The resistance R₁ and R₂ are in series
R_S = R₁ + R₂ = 2 + 2 = 4Ω
The resistance R_S and R₃ are in parallel

∴ Effective resistance R_eff= 1.33Ω

Question 6.
Two wires of same material and length have resistances 5Ω and 10Ω respectively. Calculate the ratio of radii of the two wires.
Answer:
Resistance

∴ r₁ : r₂ = √2 : 1

Question 7.
An iron box of 400 W power is used daily for 30 minutes. If the cost per unit is 75 paise, find the weekly expense on using the iron box.
Answer:
Power P = 400 W

Energy consumed = Power × Time
= 400 × \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 200 Wh
Energy consumed in one week= 200 × 7
= 1400 Wh = 1.4 kWh
= 1.4 unit
∴ Total cost per week = 1.4 × 0.75 = Rs 1.05
Weekly expense = Rs 1.05

Question 29.
What do you know about James Thurber, the narrator?
Answer:
The narrator James Thurber, presents himself as acting judiciously, although his actions are uncommon to raise the uncertainties of the policemen. He is the first person in the household to hear the mysterious sound, as he is stepping out of the bathtub at 1:15 a.m. on November 17th. After waking his brother Herman, he is the one who resolves that the reason of the sound downstairs must be an apparition. When his hasty mother decides that the sounds must be caused by intruders, the narrator thinks that she is past reasoning. Even when the cops arrive, he is still wrapped in a towel from his bath.

Later, when the reporter comes around asking questions, the narrator puts on one of his mother’s blouses, explaining that it is the only thing that he can find at the moment. He chooses to be honest with the reporter and tell him that the problem was caused by ghosts, but the reporter does not take him earnestly. Later, when the policeman who has been shot by Grandfather wants to challenge him and take his gun back, the narrator mediates with composed receptivity and offers to take the gun over to the police station in the morning.
“A judicious reticence is hard to learn, but
it is a lifetime lesson.’’

Question 30.

“Exploration is the engine that drives Innovation.”

Question 31.
What do you know about the Navikaa Sagar Parikrama?
Answer:
Navika Sagar Parikrama was a project undertaken in consonance with the National policy to empower women to attain their full potential. The Project is considered essential towards promoting ocean sailing activities in the Navy while depicting Government of India’s thrust for Nari Shakti which means women power. The Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Sunil Lanba gave his welcome speech when this project was launched.

The voyage was aimed to show case ‘Make in India’ initiative by sailing on-board indigenously built INSV Tarini. The special feature of this sailboat is that it encouraged use of environment friendly non-conventional renewable energy resources such as the wind; collected and updated meteorological, ocean and wave data on regular basis for accurate weather forecast by India Meteorological Department (IMD) and also collected data for monitoring marine pollution on high seas.
“The goal is not to sail the boats, but rather to help the boat sail herself.’’

Question 32.
‘Man does change with time’-What were the various changes that came about in Aditya?
Answer:
Man does change with time. According to Sanyal, Aditya was a boy who could never compete him in scholastic or non-scholastic activities. He was a liar and an envious personality. But, years later Aditya no longer is the same personality. He is more matured and responsible. His childish nature makes him feel guilty, for stealing the medal that belonged to Sanyal.

Aditya now wanted to restore Sanyal, his lost happiness. Knowing about his financial constraints, he decides to give him the cost of the silver medal. He drives with a firm determination to his ancestral house. When he reaches, he rushes to the attic. Aditya gets on top of a packing Case and pushes his hand inside the ventilator, upsetting a sparrow’s nest. However, he heaves a sigh of relief when he gets what he had been looking for. He goes straight to the Jeweller to determine the current rate of the medal in the market. All these surely show a remarkable change in him.

Even when Sanyal behaves rudely, Aditya is courteous and friendly. His only intention is penitence. He is so mature that he even understands and justifies the grievances Sanyal had in his heart. When Sanyal prefers the medal, without second thoughts he restores it to Sanyal whole-heartedly.
“Change is universal.”

Question 33.
Narrate the fable of ‘The Ant and the Cricket’ in your own words.
Answer:
The silly young cricket was fun-loving. He used to sing all through the pleasant sunny months of summer and spring. He was short-sighted. He didn’t bother to store food for the rainy season and cold winter. When the earth was covered with ice and snow, he found that he had nothing to eat and his cupboard was empty. There were no flowers nor leaves on the trees. He grew nervous. Starvation could be seen over his face. Wet with the rain and shivering with cold, the hungry cricket went to an ant to get shelter and food.

He made it clear that he would return the borrowed grain the next day. With humility, the miserly ant said that he was surely the servant and friend of the cricket. But as a matter of principle, the ants neither borrow nor lend. He asked why he never bothered to store something for the rainy day. The cricket admitted that he had been careless and foolish. He enjoyed the beauties of summer and sang merrily. The ant then told him bluntly to go and dance all winter and turned the poor cricket out.
‘Prudence is foresight and farsightedness. ’

Question 34.
The poem ‘No men are foreign’ has a greater relevance in today’s world. Elucidate.
Answer:
The poet, James Kirkup, quotes various instances to prove that no men are foreign. The very title of the poem is thought-provoking and forces the reader to think about the issue of people living in other countries as foreigners and strangers. As the poem advances, the poet recurrently emphasises that all human beings are indistinguishable in their nature and tactics. All live on the same earth; enjoy air, sun and water; love peace and are opposed to war.

They all have mutual experiences and toil in a similar manner to earn the living. The realistic reasoning put forth by the poet and the numerous reminders fully satisfy the reader that no men are foreign. He gets the message that alienation from fellow brethren is equally damaging to himself. He also understands that by treating other men as foreign, the world stands exposed to the risk of war which can lead to permanent destruction and pollution of mother earth. It is true that many people have been telling us to live harmoniously since long. We never follow their message.

We also know that our greed to get more wealth and power cannot give us peaceful life. But some deep-rooted evils in our society make us draw a distinction between people. We know that all customs and conventions have been made by people. We start to hate even our family members due to our ego to be more powerful. By doing so, we at last harm ourselves. In society, people dislike selfish people. So before going to hurt other’s feeling, first of all we should think whether doing such act with others are justified by other people or society.
‘Smile at strangers and you just might change a life. ’

Question 35.

“Let me but live my life from year to year,
With forward face and unreluctant soul;
Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal; – Not mourning for the things that disappear ”
(i) Pick out the alliterated words in the first line.
(ii) What is the figure of speech used in the second line?
(iii) Pick out the rhyming words from the above lines.
(iv) Give an example of the usage of couplet in the above stanza.
Answer:
(i) ‘Let, live, life’ are the alliterated words in the first line.
(ii) The figure of speech is alliteration, (e.g. forward face)
(iii) Year and disappear; soul and goal are the rhyming words.
(iv) With forward face and unreluctant soul;
Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal;

Question 36.
Paraphrase the following stanza.
Some water, coal, and oil is all we ask,
And a thousandth of an inch to give us play:
And now, if you will set us to our task,
We will serve you four and twenty hours a day!
Answer:
Here it is clearly stated that the only requirement for the machine is water, coal and oil. The moving parts may have a clearance of a thousandth of an inch which may be the permissible variation from the required dimensions. These parts are closely arranged with bolts and nuts leaving only less than an inch for the movement of wheels. With such a setup, the machines are willing to work round the clock, non-stop without any rest.

The next room, a broad gallery about a quarter of a mile long, was devoted to publicity, and it well may be imagined what the publicity for such a journal as the Earth Herald had to be. It brought in a daily average of three million dollars. They are gigantic signs reflected on the clouds, so large that they can be seen all over a whole country.

From that gallery a thousand projectors were unceasingly employed in sending to the clouds, on which they were reproduced in colour, these inordinate advertisements. At that moment the clock struck twelve. The director of the Earth Herald left the hall and sat down in a rolling armchair. In a few minutes he had reached his dining room half a mile away, at the far end of the office. The table was laid and he took his place at it.

Within reach of his hand was placed a series of taps and before him was the curved surface of a phonotelephote, on which appeared the dining room of his home in Paris. Mr and Mrs Bennett had arranged to have lunch at the same time – nothing could be more pleasant than to be face to face in spite of the distance, to see one another and talk by means of the phonotelephotic apparatus.

19 September, 20XX
The Commissioner
Chennai Municipal Corporation
Chennai
Sir,
Sub: Poor sanitary conditions and mosquito menace in Periyar Road I want to draw your kind attention towards the poor sanitary conditions prevailing in our locality – Periyar Road. It seems that the cleaners have forgotten the existence of this locality on the civic map of Chennai. Heaps of rubbish are lying here and there, with flies swarming around and pigs wallowing in the filth and mud caused by the overflow of dirty water from the drains on to the road. The drains are choked as they are neither cleaned nor flushed.

The dirty water collects on the road forming cesspools of filthy water. There are also many pits on the roads which are full of drain water. All these serve as breeding places for mosquitoes. The mosquito menace is so intense in our locality that we have to use anti mosquito sprays, mats and repellants have undisturbed sleep for a couple of hours. You are requested to pay
a surprise visit to the locality and judge the state yourself. Kindly take some immediate and effective steps to improve the sanitation and rid us of the menace of mosquitoes.

Hoping for a favourable action.
Yours faithfully
S. Sundaram

Question 42.
Look at the following picture and express your views on it in about five sentences.

Answer:
Circus
In the world of public entertainment, circus occupies a prominent place. We feel thrilled to watch the antics of the lion, bear and elephants who dance to their ring master’s tunes. Animals were born free, but man has tamed them and uses them for his own benefit. The tricks and feats of these animals provide a sheer contrast to the adventurous feats of performing artistes. The children express their joy with clapping while the grown-ups just marvel at the daredevilry of the ringmasters.

Question 46.
(a) Love of a son for his mother – opposition to the law – tyrant – elderly people inefficient – importance of aged people – decree. Foothills – proclamation – cruel decree – killing aged people wasn’t common – poor farmer distressed.
Answer:
“The Aged Mother” by Matsuo Basho is a Japanese folklore about the love of a son for his mother and the mother’s love in return for her son. They encountered this agony as an opposition to the law of placing aged people to death. The tyrant stated the law of killing the elderly people because he was a warrior himself who felt that only the young men and women who were robust were useful to the country. According to the warrior, elderly people were inefficient and couldn’t be obliging to individuals who were however healthy as him.

To such a despotic leader, the importance of aged people was insignificant. Hence, he pronounced it as a decree. When the poor farmer and his aged mother who lived in a poor hut of the foothills in the country of Shining heard the proclamation by the despotic leader who announced the cruel decree of killing elderly people in that place, their heart was distressed. During this period, killing aged people wasn’t common. Therefore, when the poor farmer came to know of the decree he bore sadness in his heart. He was extremely concerned and was in deep thoughts to make an escape.

Answer:
Dr. Ashok T Krishnan’s family shelters Somu’s new pet, Zig-Zag, a queer-looking African bird, who is known for talking and singing in twenty-one different languages. They consider Zigzag to be a harmless, unusual and lovable bird bred by a genuine African witch doctor, who gifted it to Somu when he toured the deepest jungles of Africa. To Somu, the bird is an absolute treasure and a real help. Mrs. Krishnan considers it a nuisance.

Their son Arvind and daughter Maya are keen on having the pet. They both discuss the unique gifts given by Uncle Somu viz insect-eating plant, tiny shark teeth penknife and the aboriginal boomerang. ZigZag turns out to be a disappointment for the Krishnan family. Zigzag does nothing but sleep and snore to annoy all around. All attempts to awaken the bird goes in vain. The bird at first before resorting to a steadfast sleep eats the nuts and fruits, keeps them safe in the chandelier and the fan blades.

The maid Lakshmi shrieks in an excited manner thinking she is blessed with papayas and bananas raining inside the room. Mrs. Krishnan is annoyed at the slice of overripe papaya whizzing off the fan and splattering all over her unfinished masterpiece – Sunset at Marina spreading streaks of gooey orange pulp and shiny black seeds all over it. Dr. Krishnan leaves an e-mail message for Somu, asking him for clear instructions on how to stop Zigzag from snoring. On the seventh day, they receive the reply that he never sleeps nor snores. Mrs. Krishnan wants it to be sent to Visu as her friends and experts will come home and choose her paintings for the exhibition. Krishnan takes ZigZag in the car and hopes to find Visu so that ZigZag’s snore doesn’t add to the din of the sobs and shrieks produced by the tiny patients waiting for him.

However, Ziggy-Zagga, King-of-the-Tonga, was not familiar to being kept waiting, makes his way to the clinic where he perches himself on the nurse’s reception table. Suddenly things take a turn when ZigZag starts speaking. It’s Zigzag’s voice, clear and commanding. Gone was Zigzag’s bored and grumpy expression. Instead, the bird looked happy and alert as it went about the job it had been trained for, first with the African witch doctor and then with Dr. Somu.

Mere friends are we — well, friends the merest Keep much that I resign:
For each glance of the eye so bright and black,
Though I keep with heart’s endeavour, —
Your voice, when you wish the snowdrops back,
Though it stays in my soul forever!

Or only a thought stronger.

Or so very little longer.

Answer:
During the War, the Indian Army contributed a large number of divisions and independent brigades to the European, Mediterranean and the Middle East. The Indian Army fought against the German Empire in German East Africa and on the Western Front. Indian divisions were also sent to Egypt, Gallipoli and nearly 700,000 served in Mesopotamia against the Ottoman Empire. While some divisions were sent overseas others had to remain in India guarding the North West Frontier and on internal security and training duties.

In addition to the permanent divisions, the Indian Army also formed a number of independent brigades. As part of the Southern Army the Aden Brigade was stationed in the Aden Protectorate on the strategically important naval route from Europe to India, where there was limited fighting.

The Bannu Brigade, the Derajat Brigade and the Kohat Brigade were all part of the Northern Army and they were deployed along the North West Frontier. The South Persia Brigade was formed in 1915 at the start of the Persian Campaign to protect the Anglo- Persian oil installations in south Persia and the Persian Gulf.

On the outbreak of war, the Indian Army had 150,000 trained men and the Indian Government offered the services of two cavalry and two infantry divisions for service overseas. The force known as Indian Expeditionary Force A was attached to the British Expeditionary Force and the four divisions were formed into two army corps: an infantry Indian Corps and the Indian Cavalry Corps.

Indian Expeditionary Force B consisted of the 27th (Bangalore) Brigade from the 9th (Secunderabad) Division and an Imperial Service Infantry Brigade, a pioneer battalion, a mountain artillery battery and engineers were sent to Tanganyika with the task of invading German East Africa. Force C was formed from the Indian Army’s 29th Punjabis, together with half battalions from the Princely states of Jind, Bharatpur, Kapurthala and Rampur. The largest Indian Army force to serve abroad was the Indian Expeditionary Force D in Mesopotamia, under the command of Lieutenant-General Sir John Nixon.

Over one million Indian troops served overseas, of whom 62,000 died and another 67,000 were wounded. In total at least 74,187 Indian soldiers died during the War. Field-Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck, Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army from 1942, commented that the British “couldn’t have come through both wars [World War I and II] if they hadn’t had the Indian Army.”

sin 30 = \(\frac { h }{ 200 } \)
⇒ h = 200 sin 30°
∴ h = 200 × \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) = 100 m
Hence the distance of the kite from the ground level is 100 m.

Question 10.
Find the angular elevation (angle of elevation from the ground level) of the Sun when the length of the shadow of a 30 m long pole is 10 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) m.
Answer:
Let S be the position of the Sun and BC be the pole.
Let AB denote the length of the shadow of the pole.
Let the angular elevation of the Sun be θ.
Given that AB = 10 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) m and BC = 30 m
In the right ∆ CAB,tan θ = \(\frac { BC }{ AB } \) = \(\frac{30}{10 \sqrt{3}}=\frac{3}{\sqrt{3}}\)
⇒ tan θ = \(\sqrt { 3 }\)
∴ θ = 60°
Thus, the angular elevation of the Sun from the ground level is 60°

Question 11.
A ramp for unloading a moving truck, has an angle of elevation of 30°. If the top of the ramp is 0.9 m above the ground level, then find the length of the ramp.
Answer:
Let AC be the length of the ramp and AC = “x” metre
In the right angled ∆ ABC,
∠A = 30° and BC = 0.9 m
sin 30° = \(\frac { BC }{ AC } \)

\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) = \(\frac { 0.9 }{ x } \)
x = 0.9 × 2 = 1.8 m
∴ Length of the ramp x = 1.8 m

Question 12.
A girl of height 150 cm stands in front of a lamp-post and casts a shadow of length 150 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) cm on the ground. Find the angle of elevation of the top of the lamp-post.
Answer:
The height of the girl (BC) = 150 cm
Length of the shadow = 150 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) cm
Let θ be the angle of elevation of the lamp post.

In θ = \(\frac{150}{150 \sqrt{3}}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)

tan 30° = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) ⇒ ∴ θ = 30°
∴ Angle of elevation of the lamp post = 30°

Question 13.
Prove that \(\sqrt{\cot ^{2} \theta-\cos ^{2} \theta}\) = cot θ . cos θ
Answer:

Question 14.

Answer:

Question 15.
A tower is 100 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) metres high. Find the angle of elevation of its top from a point 100 metres away from its foot.
Answer:
Let MN be the tower of height 100 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) m
“O” be the point of observation such that OM = 100 m

Let 0 be the angle of elevation
In the right ∆ OMN, we have
tan θ = \(\frac { MN }{ OM } \) = \(\frac{100 \sqrt{3}}{100}\)
tan θ = \(\sqrt { 3 }\) = tan 60°
∴ θ = 60°
Hence the angle of elevation is 60°

Question 16.
If sin θ = x and sec θ = y, then find the value of cot θ
Answer:
Given sin θ = x
y = sec θ = \(\frac{1}{\cos \theta}\)
∴ cos θ = \(\frac { 1 }{ y } \) ⇒ cot θ = \(\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}=\frac{1}{y} \div x\)
cot θ = \(\frac { 1 }{ xy } \)

Question 17.
A circus artist is climbing a 20 m long rope, which is tightly stretched and tied from the top of a vertical pole to the ground. Find the height of the pole, if the angle made by the rope with the ground level is 30° ( see figure).
Answer:
In the figure, let AC is the rope and AB is the pole. In right ∆ ABC, we have
\(\frac { AB }{ AC } \) = sin 30°
But, sin 30° = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
\(\frac { AB }{ AC } \) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) ⇒ \(\frac { AB }{ 20 } \) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
[∵ AC = 20 m]

AB = 20 × \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) = 10 m
Thus, the required height of the pole is 10 m.

Question 18.
A kite is flying at a height of 60 m above the ground. The string attached to the kite is temporarily tied to a point on the ground. The inclination of the string with the ground is 60°. Find the length of the string, assuming that there is no slack in the string.
Answer:
Let in the right ∆ AOB,
OB = Length of the string
AB = 60 m = Height of the kite.
In the right ∆ OAB

sin 60° = \(\frac { AB }{ OB } \)
\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) = \(\frac { 60 }{ OB } \)
\(\sqrt { 3 }\) × OB = 120
OB = \(\frac{120}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{120 \times \sqrt{3}}{3}\)
Lenght of the string = 40 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) = 40 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) m

Question 19.
Prove that sin⁶ θ + cos⁶ θ + 3 sin² θ cos² θ = 1
Answer:
L. H. S = sin⁶ θ + cos⁶ θ + 3 sin² θ cos² θ
= (sin² θ)³ + (cos² θ)³ + 3 sin² θ cos² θ
= (sin² θ + cos² θ)³ – 3 × sin² θ cos² θ (sin² θ + cos² θ) + 3 × sin² θ cos² θ
[Using a³ + h³ = (a + h)³ – 3 ab (a + h)]
= 1³ – 3 sin² θ cos² θ (1) + 3 sin² θ cos² θ
= 1 – 3 sin² θ cos² θ + 3 sin² θ cos² θ
= 1
L.H. S = R. H. S

Answer:

Question 3.
Prove that 2 (sin⁶ θ + cos⁶ θ) – 3 (sin⁴ θ + cos⁴ θ) + 1 = θ
Answer:
consider, sin⁶ θ + cos⁶ θ
= (sin² θ)³ + (cos² θ)³
[Using a³ + b³ = (a + b)³ – 3 ab(a + b)]
= (sin² θ + cos² θ)³ – 3 sin² θ cos² θ (sin² θ + cos² θ)
= 1 – 3 sin² θ cos² θ
Now sin⁴ θ + cos⁴ θ = (sin² θ)² + (cos² θ)² (a² + b² = (a + b)² – 2 ab)
= (sin² θ + cos² θ)² – 2 (sin² θ cos² θ)
= 1 – 2 (sin² θ cos² θ)
L. H. S = 2 (sin⁶ θ + cos⁶ θ) – 3 (sin⁴ θ + cos⁴ θ) + 1
= 2(1 – 3 sin² θ cos² θ) – 3 (1 – 2 sin² θ cos² θ) + 1
= 2 – 6 sin² θ cos² θ – 3 + 6 sin² θ cos² θ + 1
= 3 – 3 = 0
L.H.S. = R.H.S

Question 14.
A person in an helicopter flying at a height of 700 m, observes two objects lying opposite to each other on either bank of a river. The angles of depression of the objects are 30° and 45°. Find the width of the river. (\(\sqrt { 3 }\) = 1. 732)
Answer:
Let C be the point of observation.
The objects A and B lying opposite to each other on either bank of a river.
Width of the river AB = AD + BD
In the right ∆ ACD,

tan 30° = \(\frac { CD }{ AD } \) ⇒ \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) = \(\frac { 700 }{ AD } \)
∴ AD = 700 \(\sqrt { 3 }\)
In the right ∆ BCD tan 45° = \(\frac { CD }{ BD } \)
1 = \(\frac { 700 }{ BD } \) ⇒ BD = 700 m
∴ Width of the river = AD + BD
= 700 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) + 700 = 700 (\(\sqrt { 3 }\) + 1)
= 700 (1.732 + 1) = 700 × 2.732 m
= 1912.400 m
∴ Width of the river = 1912.4 m

Question 15.
A person X standing on a horizontal plane, observes a bird flying at a distance of 100 m from him at an angle of elevation of 30°. Another person Y standing on the roof of a 20 m high building, observes the bird at the same time at an angle of elevation of 45°. If X and Y are on the opposite sides of the bird, then find the distance of the bird from Y.
Answer:
Let the position of the bird be “B”
Given, AY = 20 m, CD = 20 m, BX = 100 m, ∠BXD = 30° and ∠BYC = 45°
In the right ∆ BXD, sin 30° = \(\frac { BD }{ BX } \)
\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) = \(\frac { BD }{ 100 } \) ⇒ BD = \(\frac{100 \times 1}{2}\) = 50 m

BC = BD – DC
BC = 50 m – 20 m = 30 m
In the right ∆ YBC, sin 45° = \(\frac { BC }{ BY } \)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) = \(\frac { 30 }{ BY } \) ⇒ BY = 30\(\sqrt { 2 }\)
∴ Distance of the bird from the person Y is 30\(\sqrt { 2 }\) m

Question 16.
A boy is standing at some distance from a 30 m tall building and his eye level from the ground is 1.5 m. The angle of elevation from his eyes to the top of the building increases from 30° to 60° as he walks towards the building. Find the distance he walked towards the building.
Answer:
In the given figure A, B, C is a horizontal at the level of the boy
AD = A’D – AA’
AD = 30 – 1.5 = 28.5 m
Let the distance walked by the student CB is ‘x’ m.
Let AB be ‘y’ m
In the right ∆ ABD,tan 60° = \(\frac { AD }{ AB } \)
\(\sqrt { 3 }\) = \(\frac { 28.5}{ y } \)
y =\(\frac{28.5}{\sqrt{3}}\) …….(1)

In the right ∆ ACD,tan 30° = \(\frac { AD }{ AC } \)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) = \(\frac{28.5}{x+y}\) ⇒ x + y = 28.5 \(\sqrt { 3 }\)
y = 28.5 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) – x ………..(2)
From (1) and (2) we get,
\(\frac{28.5}{\sqrt{3}}\) = 28.5 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) – x
28.5 = 28.5 × 3 – \(\sqrt { 3 }\) x
\(\sqrt { 3 }\) x = 28.5 × 3 – 28.5
\(\sqrt { 3 }\) x = 28.5 × (3 – 1) = 28.5 × 2
\(\sqrt { 3 }\) x = 57.0 m
x = \(\frac{57}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{57 \times \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}}\) ⇒ x = \(\frac{57 \times \sqrt{3}}{3}\) = 19 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) m.
∴ The distance walked by the boy = 19 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) m.

Question 17.
A straight highway leads to the foot of a tower. A man standing on the top of the tower spots a van at an angle of depression of 30°. The van is approaching the tower with a uniform speed. After 6 minutes, the angle of depression of the van is found to be 60°. How many more minutes will it take for the van to reach the tower?
Answer:
Let A be the point of observation. B and C be the positions of the van. Let the height of the tower AD be x. Let the speed of the van be “s”. C is the position of van after 6 minutes.
Time taken by the van from B to C be minutes.
Distance BC = 6 × s = 6 s (speed × time)
Let distance between CD be t s (time × speed)

In the right ∆ ABD, tan 30° = \(\frac { AD }{ DB } \)


∴ 3 more minutes will be taken by the van to reach the tower.

Answer:


Hence it is proved

= 1 – cos² θ
L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence it is proved.

Question 2.
Prove that
\(\left(\frac{1+\sin \theta-\cos \theta}{1+\sin \theta+\cos \theta}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{1-\cos \theta}{1+\cos \theta}\right)\)
Answer:

LHS = RHS
Hence it is proved

Question 3.
If x sin² θ + y cos² θ = sin θ cos θ and x sin θ = y cos θ, then prove that x² + y² = 1.
Answer:
Given x sin² θ + y cos² θ = sin θ cos θ
x sin θ = y cos θ ……..(1)
x sin³ θ + y cos³ θ = sin θ cos θ
x sin θ (sin² θ) + y cos θ (cos² θ) = sin θ cos θ
x sin θ (sin² θ) + x sin θ (cos² θ) = sin θ cos θ
x sin θ (sin² θ + cos² θ) = sin θ cos θ
x sin θ = sin θ cos θ
x = cos θ
substitute x = cos θ in (1)
cos θ sin θ = y cos θ y = sin θ
L. H. S = x² + y² = cos² θ + sin² θ = 1
L.H. S = R.H.S
Hence it is proved.

Question 4.
If a cos θ – b sin θ = c, then prove that (a sin θ + b cos θ) = ± \(\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}\).
Answer:
Given a cos θ – b sin θ = c
Squaring on both sides
(a cos θ – b sin θ)² = c²
a² cos² θ + b² sin² θ – 2 ab cos θ sin θ = c²
a² (1 – sin² θ) + b² (1 – cos² θ) – 2 ab cos θ sin θ = c²
a² – a² sin² θ + b² – b² cos² θ – 2 ab cos θ sin θ = c²
– a² sin² θ – B² – cos² θ – 2 ab cos θ sin θ = – a² – b² + c²
a² sin² θ + b² cos² θ + 2 ab cos θ sin θ = a² + b² – c²
(a sin θ + b cos θ)² – a² + b² – c²
a sin θ + b cos θ = ± \(\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}\)
Hence it is proved.

Question 5.
A bird is sitting on the top of a 80 m high tree. From a point on the ground, the angle of elevation of the bird is 45° . The bird flies away horizontally in such away that it remained at a constant height from the ground. After 2 seconds, the angle of elevation of the bird from the same point is 30° . Determine the speed at which the bird flies. (\(\sqrt { 3 }\) = 1.732)
Answer:

A is the initial position of the bird B is the final position of the bird Let the speed of the bird be “s”
Distance = speed × time
∴ AB = 2x
Let CD be x
∴ CE = x + 2s
In the ∆ CDA, tan 45° = \(\frac { AD }{ CD } \)
1 = \(\frac { 80 }{ x } \)
x = 80 ……..(1)
In the ∆ BCE
tan 30° = \(\frac { BE }{ CE } \)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) = \(\frac { 80 }{ x+2s } \)
x + 2s = 80 \(\sqrt { 3 }\)
x = 80 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) – 2 s ………(2)
From (1) and (2) we get
80 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) – 2 s = 80
80 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) – 80 = 2 s ⇒ 80 (\(\sqrt { 3 }\) – 1) = 2 s
s = \(\frac{80(\sqrt{3}-1)}{2}\) = 40 (1.732 – 1) = 40 × 0.732 = 29.28
Speed of the flying bird = 29.28 m/sec

Question 6.
An aeroplane is flying parallel to the Earth’s surface at a speed of 175 m/sec and at a height of 600 m. The angle of elevation of the aeroplane from a point on the Earth’s surface is 37° at a given point. After what period of time does the angle of elevation increase to 53°? (tan 53° = 1.3270, tan 37° = 0.7536)
Answer:
Let C is the initial and D is the final position of the aeroplane.
Let the time taken by the aeroplane be “t”
∴ CD = 175 t (Distance = speed × time)

Let AB be x
∴ AE = x + 175 t
In the right ∆ ABC


∴ Time taken is 1. 97 seconds

Question 7.
A bird is flying from A towards B at an angle of 35°, a point 30 km away from A. At B it changes its course of flight and heads towards C on a bearing of 48° and distance 32 km away.
(i) How far is B to the North of A?
(ii) How far is B to the West of A?
(iii) How far is C to the North of B?

(sin 55° = 0.8192, cos 55° = 0.5736, sin 42° = 0.6691, cos 42° = 0.7431)
Answer:

(i) To find the distance of B to the north of A
In ∆ ABB,

Distance of B to the North of A = 24. 58 km

(ii) Distance from B to the west of A is AB’
In ∆ ABB’
cos 55° = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}^{\prime}}{\mathrm{AB}}\)
0.5736 = \(\frac{A B^{\prime}}{30}\)
∴ AB’ = 0.5736 × 30 = 17. 21 km
Distance of B to the West of A is 17. 21 km

(iii) Distance from C to the North of B is CD
In the right ∆ BCD, sin 42° = \(\frac { CD }{ BC } \)
0.6691 = \(\frac { BD }{ 32 } \)
∴ CD = 0.6691 × 32 = 21.41 km
Distance of C to the North B is 21. 41 km

(iv) The distance of C to the East of B is BD
In the right ∆ BDC, cos 42° = \(\frac { BD }{ BC } \)
0.7431 = \(\frac { BD }{ 32 } \)
∴ BD = 0.7431 × 32
= 23.78 km
Distance of C to the East of B is 23.78 km.

Question 8.
Two ships are sailing in the sea on either side of the lighthouse. The angles of depression of two ships as observed from the top of the lighthouse are 60° and 45° respectively. If the distance between the ships is 200 \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\) meters, find the height of the lighthouse
Answer:
Let A and B the position of the first ship and the second ship
Distance = 200 \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\) m
Let the height of the light house CD be “h”

In the right ∆ ACD, tan 60° = \(\frac { CD }{ AD } \)
\(\sqrt { 3 }\) = \(\frac { h }{ AD } \)
∴ AD = \(\frac{h}{\sqrt{3}}\) ……….(1)
In the right ∆ BCD
tan 45° = \(\frac { DC }{ BD } \)
1 = \(\frac { h }{ BD } \)
∴ BD = h
Distance between the two ships = AD + BD
200 (\(\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}}\)) = \(\frac{h}{\sqrt{3}}\) + h ⇒ 200 (\(\sqrt { 3 }\) + 1) = h + \(\sqrt { 3 }\) h
200 (\(\sqrt { 3 }\) + 1) = h(1 + \(\sqrt { 3 }\)) ⇒ h = \(\frac{200(\sqrt{3}+1)}{(1+\sqrt{3})}\)
h = 200
Height of the light house = 200 m

Question 9.
A building and a statue are in opposite side of a street from each other 35 m apart. From a point on the roof of building the angle of elevation of the top of statue is 24° and the angle of depression of base of the statue is 34° . Find the height of the statue. (tan 24° = 0.4452, tan 34° = 0.6745)
Answer:
Let the height of the statue be “h” m
Let AD be x
∴ EC = h – x
In the right ∆ ABD,

tan 34° = \(\frac { AD }{ AB } \)
0.6745 = \(\frac { x }{ 35 } \)
∴ x = 0.6745 × 35 ⇒ x = 23.61 m
In the right ∆ DEC ⇒ tan 24° = \(\frac { EC }{ DE } \)
0.4452 = \(\frac { h-x }{ 35 } \) ⇒ h – x = 0.4452 × 35
h – 23.61 = 15. 58 ⇒ h = 15.58 + 23.61 = 39.19 m
Height of the statue = 39.19 m

VI. Answer Briefly.

Question 1.
Define inertia. Give its classification.
Answer:
The inherent property of a body to resist any change in its state of rest or the state of uniform motion, unless it is influenced upon by an external unbalanced force, is known as ‘inertia’.
Classifications:

1. Inertia of rest
2. Inertia of motion
3. Inertia of direction

Question 2.
Classify the types of force based on their application.
Answer:
Based on the direction in which the forces act, they can be classified into two types as:

1. Like parallel forces: Two or more forces of equal or unequal magnitude acting along the same direction, parallel to each other are called like parallel forces.
2. Unlike parallel forces: If two or more equal forces or unequal forces act along with opposite directions parallel to each other, then they are called, unlike parallel forces.

Question 3.
If a 5 N and a 15 N forces are acting opposite to one another. Find the resultant force and the direction of action of the resultant force.
Answer:
F₁ = 5 N
F₂ = 15 N
∴ Resultant force F_R = F₁ – F₂
= 5 – 15 = -10 N
It acts in the direction of the force of 15 N (F₂).

Question 4.
Differentiate mass and weight.
Answer:
Ratio of masses of planets is
m₁ = m₂ = 2 : 3
Ratio of radii
R₁ = R₂ = 4 : 7
We know

Question 5.
Define the moment of a couple.
Answer:
When two equal and unlike parallel forces applied simultaneously at two distinct points constitute a couple. A couple results in causes the rotation of the body. This rotating effect of a couple is known as the moment of a couple.

Question 6.
State the principle of moments.
Answer:
Principle of moments states that if a rigid body is in equilibrium on the action of a number of like (or) unlike parallel forces then the algebraic sum of the moments in the clockwise direction is equal to the algebraic sum of the moments in the anticlockwise direction.

Question 7.
State Newton’s second law.
Answer:
The force acting on a body is directly proportional to the rate of change of linear momentum of the body and the change in momentum takes place in the direction of the force.

Question 8.
Why a spanner with a long handle is preferred to tighten screws in heavy vehicles?
Answer:
When a spanner is having a long handle, the turning effect of the applied force is more when the distance between the fixed edge and the point of application of force is more. Hence a spanner with a long handle is preferred to tighten screws in heavy vehicles.

Question 9.
While catching a cricket ball the fielder lowers his hands backwards. Why?
Answer:
While catching a cricket ball the fielder lowers his hands backwards, so increase the time during which the velocity of the cricket ball decreases to zero. Therefore the impact of force on the palm of the fielder will be reduced.

Question 10.
How does an astronaut float in a space shuttle?
Answer:
Astronauts are not floating but falling freely around the earth due to their huge orbital velocity. Since spaceshuttle and astronauts have equal acceleration, they are under free fall condition. (R = 0) Hence, both the astronauts and the space station are in the state of weightlessness.

VII. Solve the given problems.

Question 1.
Two bodies have a mass ratio of 3 : 4 The force applied on the bigger mass produces an acceleration of 12 ms². What could be the acceleration of the other body, if the same force acts on it.
Answer:
Ratio of masses m₁ : m₂ = 3 : 4
Acceleration of m₂ is a₂ = 12 m/s²
Force acting of m₂ is F₂ = m₂a₂
F₂ = 4 × 12 = 48N
but F₂ = F₁
∴ Force acting on m₁ is F₁ = 48N
∴ Acceleration of m₁ = a₁ = \(\frac{F_1}{m_1}\)
a₁ = \(\frac{48}{3}\)
= 16 m/s²
Acceleration of the other body ax = 16 m/s²

Question 2.
A ball of mass 1 kg moving with a speed of 10 ms-1 rebounds after a perfect elastic collision with the floor. Calculate the change in linear momentum of the ball.
Answer:
Given mass = 1 kg, speed = 10 ms^-1
Initial momentum = mu = 1 × 10 = 10 kg ms^-1
Final momentum = -mu = -10 kg ms^-1
Change in momentum = final momentum – initial momentum = -mu – mu
Change in momentum = -20 kg ms^-1

Question 3.
A mechanic unscrew a nut by applying a force of 140 N with a spanner of length 40 cm. What should be the length of the spanner if a force of
40 N is applied to unscrew the same nut?
Answer:
Force acting on the screw F₁ = 140 N
Length of a spanner d₁ = 40 × 10^-2 m
Second force applied to the screw F₂ = 40 N
Let the length of spanner be d₂
According to the Principle of moments,
F₁ × d₁ = F₂ × d₂
= 140 × 40 = 40 × d₂
∴ d₂ = \(\frac{140×40}{40}\)
= 140 × 10^-2 m
Length of a spanner = 140 × 10^-2 m

Question 4.
The ratio of masses of two planets is 2 : 3 and the ratio of their radii is 4 : 7. Find the ratio of their accelerations due to gravity.
Answer:
Ratio of masses of two planets is
m₁ : m₂ = 2 : 3
Ratio of their radii,
R₁ : R₂ = 4 : 7
We know g
Img 2
∴ g₁ : g₂ = 49 : 24

VIII. Answer in Detail.

Question 1.
What are the types of inertia? Give an example for each type.
Answer:
Types of Inertia:
(i) Inertia of rest: The resistance of a body to change its state of rest is called inertia of rest.
E.g.: When you vigorously shake the branches of a tree, some of the leaves and fruits are detached and they fall down (Inertia of rest).

(ii) The inertia of motion: The resistance of a body to change its state of motion is called inertia of motion.
E.g.: An athlete runs some distance before jumping. Because this will help him jump longer and higher. (Inertia of motion)

(iii) Inertia of direction: The resistance of a body to change its direction of motion is called inertia of direction.
E.g.: When you make a sharp turn while driving a car, you tend to lean sideways, (Inertia of direction).

Question 2.
State Newton’s laws of motion.
Answer:
(i) Newton’s First Law : States that “every body continues to be in its state of rest or the state of uniform motion along a straight line unless it is acted upon by some external force”.

(ii) Newton’s Second Law : States that “the force acting on a body is directly proportional to the rate of change of linear momentum of the body and the change in momentum takes place in the direction of the force”.

(iii) Newton’s third law : States that “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. They always act on two different bodies”.

Question 3.
Deduce the equation of a force using Newton’s second law of motion.
Answer:
Let, ‘m’ be the mass of a moving body, moving along a straight line with an initial speed V. After a time interval of ‘t’, the velocity of the body changes to v due to the impact of an unbalanced external force F.
Initial momentum of the body P_i = mu
Final momentum of the body P_f = mv
Change in momentum Δp = P_i – P_f – mv – mu
By Newton’s second law of motion,
Force, F ∝ rate of change of momentum
F ∝ change in momentum / time
F ∝ \(\frac{mv-mu}{t}\)
F = \(\frac {km(v-u)}{t}\)
Here, k is the proportionality constant.
k = 1 in all systems of units. Hence,
F = \(\frac {m(v-u)}{t}\)
Since,
acceleration = change in velocity/time,
a = (v – u)/t.
Hence, we have F = m × a
Force = mass × acceleration

Question 4.
State and prove the law of conservation of linear momentum.
Answer:

Proof:
Let two bodies A and B having masses m₁ and m₂ move with initial velocity u₁ and u₂ in a straight line. Let the velocity of the first body be higher than that of the second body, i.e,, u₁ > u₂. During an interval of time t second, they tend to have a collision. After the impact, both of them move along the same straight line with a velocity v₁ and v₂ respectively.
Force on body B due to A,
F_B = m₂(v₂ – u₂)/t
Force on body A due to B,
F_A = m₁(v₁ – u₁)/t
By Newton’s III law of motion,
Action force = Reaction force
F_A = -F_B
m₁(v₁ – u₁)/t = -m₂ (v₂ – u₂)/t
m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂
The above equation confirms in the absence of an external force, the algebraic sum of the momentum after collision is numerically equal to the algebraic sum of the momentum before collision.
Hence the law of conservation of linear momentum is proved.

Question 5.
Describe rocket propulsion.
Answer:

1. Propulsion of rockets is based on the law of conservation of linear momentum as well as Newton’s III law of motion.
2. Rockets are filled with fuel (either liquid or solid) in the propellant tank. When the rocket is fired, this fuel is burnt and hot gas is ejected with high speed from the nozzle of the rocket, producing a huge momentum.
3. To balance this momentum, an equal and opposite reaction force is produced in the combustion chamber, which makes the rocket project forward.
4. While in motion, the mass of the rocket gradually decreases, until the fuel is completely burnt out.
5. Since there is no net external force acting on it, the linear momentum of the system is conserved.
6. The mass of the rocket decreases with altitude, which results in the gradual increase in the velocity of the rocket.
7. At one stage, it reaches a velocity, which is sufficient to just escape from the gravitational pull of the Earth. This velocity is called escape velocity.

Question 6.
State the universal law of gravitation and derive its mathematical expression.
Answer:
Newton’s universal law of gravitation states that every particle of matter in this universe attracts every other particle with a force. This force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centres of these masses. The direction of the force acts along the line joining the masses.

Force between the masses is always attractive and it does not depend on the medium where they are placed.

Let, m₁ and m₂ be the masses of two bodies A and B placed r metre apart in space
Force
F ∝ m₁ × m₂
F ∝ 1/r²
On combining the above two expressions
F ∝ \(\frac{m_1×m_2}{r^2}\)
F = \(\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2}\)
Where G is the universal gravitational constant. Its value in SI unit is 6.674 × 10^-11 N m² kg^-2.

Question 7.
Give the applications of gravitation.
Answer:

1. Dimensions of the heavenly bodies can be measured using the gravitation law. Mass of the Earth, the radius of the Earth, acceleration due to gravity, etc. can be calculated with higher accuracy.
2. Helps in discovering new stars and planets.
3. One of the irregularities in the motion of stars is called ‘Wobble’ lead to the disturbance in the motion of a planet nearby. In this condition, the mass of the star can be calculated using the law of gravitation.
4. Helps to explain germination of roots is due to the property of geotropism, which is the property of a root responding to the gravity.
5. Helps to predict the path of the astronomical bodies.

IX. HOT questions.

Question 1.
Two blocks of masses 8 kg and 2 kg respectively lie on a smooth horizontal surface in contact with one other. They are pushed by a horizontally applied force of 15 N. Calculate the force exerted on the 2 kg mass.
Answer:
Mass of first block m₁ = 8 kg
Mass of second block m₂ = 2 kg
Total mass M = 8 + 2 = 10 kg
Force applied F = 15 N
∴ Acceleration a = \(\frac{F}{M}\)
\(\frac{15}{10}\) = 1.5 m/s²
Force exerted on the 2 kg mass,
F = ma
= 2 × 1.5 = 3 N

Question 2.
A heavy truck and bike are moving with the same kinetic energy. If the .mass of the truck is four times that of the bike, then calculate the ratio of their momenta. (Ratio of momenta = 1 : 2)
Answer:
Let the mass of truck be m₁
Let the mass of bike be m₂
m₁ = 4m₂
∴ \(\frac{m_1}{m_2}\) = 4
Kinetic energy K.E₁ = K.E₂
∴ m₂, \({ v }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }\) = m₂\({ v }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }\)

Ratio of momenta be P₁ : P₂

∴ Ratio of their momenta = 2 : 1

Question 3.
“Wearing helmet and fastening the seat belt is highly recommended for safe journey” Justify your answer using Newton’s laws of motion.
Answer:
(i) According to Newton’s Second Law, when you fall from a bike on the ground with a force equal to your mass and acceleration of the bike.
According to Newton’s Third Law, an equal and opposite reacting force on the ground is exerted on your body. When you do not wear a helmet, this reacting force can cause fatal head injuries. So it is important to wear helmet for a safe journey.

(ii) Inertia in the reason that people in cars need to wear seat belts. A moving car has inertia, and so do the riders inside it. When the driver applies the brakes, an unbalanced force in applied to the car. Normally the bottom of the seat applies imbalanced force friction which slows the riders down as the car slows. If the driver stops the car suddenly, however, this force is not exerted over enough time to stop the motion of the riders. Instead, the riders continue moving forward with most of their original speed because of their inertia.

The product of mass and velocity of a moving body gives the magnitude of linear momentum. It acts in the direction of the velocity of the object.
Its S.I unit is kg ms^-1.

Question 7.
What is meant by a force?
Answer:
Force is one that changes or tends to change the state of rest or of uniform motion of a body.

Question 8.
State the effects of force.
Answer:

1. Produces or tries to produce the motion of a static body.
2. Stops or tries to stop a moving body.
3. Changes or tries to change the direction of motion of a moving body.

Question 9.
What is resultant force?
Answer:
When several forces act simultaneously on the same body, then the combined effect of the multiple forces can be represented by a single force, which is termed as ‘resultant force’.

Question 10.
What are balanced forces?
Answer:
If the resultant force of all the forces acting on a body is equal to zero, then the body will be in equilibrium. Such forces are called balanced forces.

Question 11.
What are unbalanced forces?
Answer:
Forces acting on an object which tend to change the state of rest or of uniform motion of it are called unbalanced forces.

Question 12.
What is meant by equilibriant?
Answer:
A system can be brought to equilibrium by applying another force, which is equal to the resultant force in magnitude, but opposite in direction. Such force is called as ‘Equilibriant’.

Question 13.
What is meant by couple? State few examples.
Answer:
Two equal and unlike parallel forces applied simultaneously at two distinct points constitute a couple. The line of action of the two forces does not coincide.
Eg: Turning a tap, winding or unwinding a screw, spinning of a top, etc.

Question 14.
A sudden application of brakes may cause injury to passengers in a car by collision with panels in front?
Answer:
With the application of brakes, the car slows down but our body tends to continue in the same state of motion because of inertia.

Question 15.
When we are standing in a bus which begins to move suddenly, we tend to fall backwards. Why?
Answer:
This is because a sudden start of the bus brings motion to the bus as well as to our feet in contact with the floor of the bus. But the rest of our body opposes this motion because of its inertia.

Question 16.
While travelling through a curved path, passengers in a bus tend to get thrown to one side. Justify.
Answer:
When an unbalanced force is applied by the engine to change the direction of motion of the bus, passengers move to one side of the seat due to inertia of their body.

Question 17.

1 g f = 1 g × 980 cm s^-2 = 980 dyne

Question 22.
What is meant by impulsive force?
Answer:
A large force acting for a very short interval of time is called as ‘Impulsive force’.

Question 23.
What is meant by impulse?
Answer:
When a force F acts on a body for a period of time t, then the product of force and time is known as ‘impulse’ represented by ‘J’
Impulse, J = F × t

Question 24.
Prove that impulse is equal to the magnitude of change in momentum.
Answer:
By Newton’s second law,
F = ΔP/t (Δ refers to change)
ΔP = F × t
J = ΔP
F × t = ΔP
Impulse is also equal to the magnitude of change in momentum. Its unit is kg ms^-1 or N s.

Question 25.
How can the change in momentum be achieved?
Answer:
Change in momentum can be achieved in two ways. They are:

1. A large force acting for a short period of time and
2. A smaller force acting for a longer period of time.

Question 26.
State an example for change in momentum.
Answer:
Automobiles are fitted with springs and shock absorbers to reduce jerks while moving on uneven roads.

Question 27.
A spring balance is fastened to a wall and another spring balance is attached to its hole and is pulled steadily. Do both the spring balances show different readings on their scales. Give reason.
Answer:
No, both the spring balances show same reading. Because both action and reaction are equal and opposite.

Question 28.
When a gun is fired it recoils, Give reason.
Answer:
When a gun is fired it exerts forward force on the bullet. The bullet exerts an equal and opposite reaction force on the gun. This results in the recoil of the gun.

Question 29.
Action and reaction are equal and opposite. But they do not cancel each other. Give reason.
Answer:
They do not cancel each other because they never act on the same body. Since they act on different bodies, they do not cancel each other.

Question 30.
Why does a cricket player, pulls his arms back with the ball while catching a ball?
Answer:
(i) The cricket player stops the speeding ball suddenly in a very short time. The high value of velocity of the ball will be decreased to zero, in a very short time and it will result in a high retardation.
(ii) When the player pulls his arms with the ball, he increases the value of time and so retardation is also decreased and retardation force is lesser than before and the palm of player is not hurt.

Question 31.
When a sailor jumps forward, the boat moves backward. State the action and reaction in the above case.
Answer:
Action – a sailor jumps forward.
Reaction – movement of the boat.

Question 32.
It is easier to stop a tennis ball than a cricket ball moving with the same velocity.
Answer:
This is because the mass of tennis ball is less than the cricket ball. So it has lesser momentum and hence smaller force is required to stop the tennis ball.

Question 33.
Define moment of force.
Answer:
The magnitude of the moment of force about a point is defined as the product of the magnitude of force and perpendicular distance of the point from the line of action of the force.

Question 34.

Answer:

Question 35.
What do you know about moment of a couple?
Answer:
Moment of a couple is the product of force and perpendicular distance between the line of action of forces.
M = F × S

Question 36.
It is easier to open a door by applying the force at the free end. Justify.
Answer:
(i) If the force is applied at the handle of the door to open it, only small force is required. That means larger the perpendicular distance, lesser is the force needed to turn the body.

(ii) From this it is easy to conclude that the turning effect of a body about an axis depends not only on the magnitude of the force but also on the perpendicular distance of the line of action of the applied force from the axis of rotation.

Question 37.

Answer:
(a) What is meant by moment of force?
Answer:
The turning effect of force acting on a body about an axis is called the moment of force.

Answer:
The numerical value of gravitational constant is 6.673 × 10^-11 Nm² kg^-2.
Its unit is Nm² kg^-2.

Question 45.
What is meant by acceleration due gravity?
Answer:
The acceleration produced in a body on account of the force of gravity is called acceleration due to gravity.

Question 46.
Write the expression of acceleration due to gravity.
Answer:
Acceleration due to gravity g = \(\frac{GM}{R^2}\)
where G is gravitational constant.
M is the mass of the earth.
R is radius of the earth.

Question 47.
Deduce the value of mass of earth.
Answer:
Mass of earth M = \(\frac{gR^2}{G}\)
g = 9.8 m/s²
R = 6.38 × 10⁶ m
G = 6.673 × 10^-11 Nm² kg^-2

= 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Question 48.
What happens to the gravitational force between two objects if the masses of both objects are doubled?
Answer:
If the masses of both objects are doubled, then gravitational force between them will be increased to four times.

Question 49.
The mass of a body is 60 kg. What will be its mass when it is placed on the moon?
Answer:
The mass of a body on the moon is 60 kg. There will be no change in mass because it is still made up of same amount of matter.

Question 50.
When an object is taken to the moon, is there any change in weight?
Answer:
Yes. The weight of a object will be decreased because the gravitational force is weak i.e., the value of acceleration due to gravity becomes less on the moon.

Question 51.
Gravitational force acts on all objects is proportional to their masses. But a heavy object falls slower than a light object. Give reason.
Answer:
It is true that gravitational force between all objects are in proportion to their masses. But in free fall of objects, acceleration produced in a body is due to gravitational force is independent of mass of object that’s why a heavy object does not fall faster.

Question 52.
A falling apple is attracted towards the earth.
(a) Does the apple attract the earth?
Answer:
Yes. According to Newton’s third Law. The apple attracts the earth.

(b) Why doesn’t earth move towards an apple?
Answer:
According to Newton’s second Law, for a given force, acceleration a ∝ \(\frac{1}{m}\). Here mass of an apple is negligibly small compared to earth. So we cannot see the earth moving towards an apple.

What is meant by free fall?
Answer:
When the person in a lift moves down with an acceleration (a) equal to the , acceleration due to gravity (g), i.e., when a = g, this motion is called as ‘free fall’. Here, the apparent weight (R = m (g – g) = 0) of the person is zero.

VII. Solve the given problems.

Question 1.
The ratio of masses of two bodies is 1 : 3 and the ratio of applied forces on them is 4 : 9. Calculate the ratio of their accelerations.
Answer:
Ratio of masses m₁ : m₂ = 1 : 3
Ratio of applied forces F₁ : F₂ = 4 : 9
Accelerations a = \(\frac{F}{m}\)
Acceleration of first body,
a₁ = \(\frac{F_1}{m_1}\)
= \(\frac{4}{1}\) = 4
Acceleration of second body,
a₂ = \(\frac{F_2}{m_2}\)
Ratio of their accelerations is 4 : 3

Question 2.
What is acceleration produced by a force of 12 N exerted on an object of mass 3 kg?
Answer:
F = 12 N; m = 3 kg ; a = ?
F = ma; a = F/m = \(\frac{4}{1}\) = 4 m/s²
The acceleration produced a = 4 m/s².

Question 3.
A certain force exerted for 1.2 s raises the speed of an object from 1.8 m/s to 4.2 m/s. Later, the same force is applied for 2 s. How much does the speed change in 2 s.
Answer:
t = 1.2 s; u = 1.8 m/s; v = 4.2 m/s
acceleration a = \(\frac{v-u}{t}\)
= \(\frac{4.2-1.8}{1.2}\) = \(\frac{2.4}{1.2}\)
= 2 m/s²
Now, the force applied is the same, it will produce the same acceleration.
Change in speed = acceleration × time for which force is applied.
= 2 × 2 = 4 m/s
Change in speed = 4 m/s.

Question 4.
A constant force acts on an object of mass 10 kg for a duration of 4 s. It increases the objects velocity from 2 ms^-1 to 8 ms^-1. Find the magnitude of the applied force.
Answer:
Mass of an object m = 10 kg
Initial velocity u = 2 ms^-1
Final velocity v = 8 ms^-1
We know, force F = \(\frac{m(v-u)}{t}\)
F = \(\frac{10(8-2)}{4}\)
= \(\frac{10×6}{4}\)
= 15 N

Question 5.
Which would require a greater force for accelerating a 2 kg of mass at 4 ms^-2 or a 3 kg mass at 2 ms^-2?
Answer:
We know, force F = ma
Given m₁ = 2 kg a₁ = 4 ms^-2
m₂ = 3 kg a₂ = 2 ms^-2
F₁ = m₁ a₁ = 2 × 4 = 8 N
F₂ = m₂ a₂ = 3 × 2 = 6 N
∴ F₁ > F₂.
Thus, accelerating 2 kg mass at 4 ms^-2 would require a greater force.

Question 6.
A bullet of mass 15 g is horizontally fired with a velocity 100 ms^-1 from a pistol of mass 2 kg. What is the recoil velocity of the pistol?
Answer:
The mass of the bullet, m₁ = 15 g = 0.015 kg
Mass of the pistol, m₂ = 2 kg
Initial velocity of the bullet, u₁ = 0
Initial velocity of the pistol, u₂ = 0
Final velocity of the bullet, v₁ = + 100 ms^-1
(The direction of the bullet is taken from left to right-positive, by convention) Recoil velocity of the pistol = v₂
Total momentum of the pistol and bullet before firing.
= m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₁
= (0.015 × 0) + (2 × 0)
= 0
Total momentum of the pistol and bullet after firing.
= m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂
= (0.015 × 100) + (2 × v₂)
= 1.5 + 2v₂
According to the law of conservation of momentum,
Total momentum after firing = Total momentum before firing.
1.5 + 2v₂ = 0
2v₂ = -1.5
v₂ = – 0.75 ms^-1
Negative sign indicates that the direction in which the pistol would recoil is opposite to that of the bullet, that is, right to left.

Question 7.
A 10 g bullet is shot from a 5 kg gun with a velocity of 400 m/s. what is the speed of recoil of the gun?
Answer:
Mass of bullet, m₁ = 10 g
= 10 × 10^-3 kg = 10^-2 kg
Mass of gun, m₂ = 5 kg
Velocity of bullet, v₁ = 400 m/s
speed of recoil of gun v₂ = ?
Total momentum of bullet and gun after firing = total momentum before firing.
m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = 0
v₂ = –\(\frac{m_1 v_1}{m_2}\)
= \(\frac{-10_{-2}×400}{5}\) = -0.8 m/’s.
The speed of recoil of the gun v₂ = -0.8 m/’s.
Negative sign shows that the gun moves in a direction opposite to that of the bullet.

Question 8.
The figure represents two bodies of masses 10 kg and 20 kg, moving with an initial velocity of 10 ms^-1 and 5 ms^-1 respectively. They collide with each other. After collision, they move with velocities 12 ms^-1 and 4 ms^-1 respectively. The time of collision is 2 s. Now calculate F₂ and F₂.
Answer:

m₁ = 10 kg
m₂ = 20 kg
u₁ = 10 ms^-1
u₂ = 5 ms^-1
v₁ = 12 ms^-1
v₂ = 4 ms^-1
Time of collision, t = 2 s
∴ Force acting on 20 kg object
F₁ = m₂ (\(\frac{v_2-u_2}{t}\))
= 20(\(\frac{4-5}{2}\))
F₁ = -10 N
Force acting on 10 kg object
F₂ = m₁ (\(\frac{v_1-u_1}{t}\))
= 10(\(\frac{12-10}{2}\))
F₂ = 10 N

Question 9.
The mass of an object is 5 kg. What is its weight on the earth?
Answer:
Mass, m = 5 kg
Acceleration due to gravity,
g = 9.8 ms^-2
Weight, W = m × g
W = 5 × 9.8 = 49 N
Therefore, the weight of the object is 49 N.

Question 10.
Calculate the force of gravitation between two objects of masses 80 kg and 120 kg kept at a distance of 10 m from each other. Given, G = 6.67 × 10^-11 Nm² / kg².
Answer:
m₁ = 80 kg, m₂ = 120 kg, r = 10 m,
G = 6.67 × 10^-11 Nm² / kg², F = ?

= 64.032 × 10^-10 N
The force of gravitation between two objects = 64.032 × 10^-10 N.

Question 11.
Calculate the value of acceleration due to gravity on moon. Given mass of moon = 7.4 × 10²² kg. radius of moon = 1740 km.
Answer:

= 1.63 ms²
The acceleration due to gravity = 1.63 ms^-2.

Question 12.
State Newton’s law of gravitation. Write an expression for acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth. If the ratio of acceleration due to gravity of two heavenly bodies is 1 : 4 and the ratio of their radii is 1 : 3, what will be the ratio of their masses?
Answer:
Newton’s law of gravitation states that every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
F = \(\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{d^{2}}\)
Acceleration due to gravity g = \(\frac{GM}{R^{2}}\)
Where G is gravitational constant
M is the mass of the earth
R is radius of the earth
Ratio of acceleration due to gravity = 1 : 4
Ratio of radii of two bodies = 1 : 3
Acceleration due to gravity is g

Dividing Equation (1) by equation (2) we get

∴ M₁ : M₂ = 1 : 36
∴ Ratio of their masses = 1 : 36

Question 13.
A bomb of mass 3 kg, initially at rest, explodes into two parts of 2 kg and 1 kg. The 2 kg mass travels with a velocity of 3 m/s. At what velocity will the 1 kg mass travel?
Answer:
Mass of a bomb m = 3 kg
Initial velocity of the bomb v = 0
Mass of the first part m₁ = 2 kg
Velocity of the first part v₁= 3 m/s
Mass of the second part m₂ = 1 kg
Let the velocity of the second part be v₂.
By the law of conservation of momentum
mv = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂
3 × 0 = 2 × 3 + 1 × v₂
0 = 6 + v₂
∴ v₂ = -6 m/s
Velocity of the 1 kg mass = -6 m/s

Question 14.
Two ice skaters of weight 60 kg and 50 kg are holding the two ends of a rope. The rope is taut. The 60 kg man pulls the rope with 20 N force. What will be the force exerted by the rope on the other person? What will be their respective acceleration?
Answer:
Mass of first ice skater = 50 kg
Mass of second ice skater = 60 kg
Force applied by second ice skater = 20 N
When the rope is taut, the force exerted by the rope on the other person is 20 N.

= 0.33 m/s²

VIII. Answer in detail.

Question 1.
Explain the types of forces.
Answer:
Based on the direction in which the forces act, they can be classified into two types as:
1. Like parallel forces : Two or more forces of equal or unequal magnitude acting along the same direction, parallel to each other are called like parallel forces.
2. Unlike parallel forces : If two or more equal forces or unequal forces act along opposite directions parallel to each other, then they are called unlike parallel forces.

Question 2.
Tabulate the action of forces with their resultant and diagram.
Answer:

Question 3.
Explain the applications of torque.
Answer:
1. Gears : A gear is a circular wheel with teeth around its rim. It helps to change the speed of rotation of a wheel by changing the torque and helps to transmit power.

2. Seasaw : Most of you have played on the seasaw. Since there is a difference in the weight of the persons sitting on it, the heavier person lifts the lighter person. When the heavier person comes closer to the pivot point (fulcrum) the distance of the line of action of the force decreases. It causes less amount of torque to act on it. This enables the lighter person to lift the heavier person.

3. Steering Wheel : A small steering wheel enables you to manoeuore a car easily by transferring a torque to the wheels with less effort.

Question 4.
State and explain principle of moments.
Answer:
When a number of like or unlike parallel forces act on a rigid body and the body is in equilibrium, then the algebraic sum of the moments in the clockwise direction is equal to the algebraic sum of the moments in the anticlockwise direction. In other words, at equilibrium, the algebraic sum of the moments of all the individual forces about any point is equal to zero.

In the illustration given in figure, the force F₁ produces an anticlockwise rotation at a distance d₁ from the point of pivot P (called fulcrum) and the force F₂ produces a clockwise rotation at a distance d₂ from the point of pivot P. The principle of moments can be written as follows:
Moment of clockwise direction = Moment of anticlockwise direction
F₁ × d₁ = F₂ × d₂

Question 5.
Explain the illustrations for Newton’s third law of motion briefly.
Answer:
Newton’s third law states that ‘for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.They always act on two different bodies.
If a body A applies a force F_A on a body B, then the body B reacts with force F_B on the body A, which is equal to F_A in magnitude, but opposite in direction. F_B = -F_A
Eg:
(i) When birds fly they push the air downwards with their wings (Action) and the air pushes the bird upwards(Reaction).
(ii) When a person swims he pushes the water using the hands backwards (Action), and the water pushes the swimmer in the forward direction (Reaction).
(iii) When you fire a bullet, the gun recoils backward and the bullet is moving forward (Action) and the gun equalises this forward action by moving backward (Reaction).

Question 6.
Derive the relation between acceleration due to gravity (g) and Gravitational constant G.
Answer:

When a body is at rests on the surface of the Earth, it is acted upon by the gravitational force of the Earth. Let us compute the magnitude of this force in two ways. Let, M be the mass of the Earth and m be the mass of the body. The entire mass of the Earth is assumed to be concentrated at its centre. The radius of the Earth is R = 6378 km = 6400 km approximately. By Newton’s law of gravitation, the force acting on the body is given by
F = \(\frac{GMm}{R^2}\)
Here, the radius of the body considered is negligible when compared with the Earth’s radius. Now, the same force can be obtained from Newton’s second law of motion.
According to this law, the force acting on the body is given by the product of its mass and acceleration (called as weight). Here, acceleration of the body is under the action of gravity hence a = g
F = ma = mg …….. (1)
F = weight = mg ……… (2)
Comparing equations (1) and (2), we get
mg = \(\frac{GMm}{R^2}\)
Acceleration due to gravity g = \(\frac{GM}{R^2}\)

Question 7.

(i) moving upwards
(ii) moving downwards
(iii) at rest
(iv) falling down freely.
