Q.1: Will the momentum remain constant if some external force acts on the system? (1)
Ans: 

No. it is true only for an isolated system.

if

Q.2: The Earth moving round the Sun in a circular orbit is acted upon by a force, and hence work must be done on the Earth by this force. Do you agree with this statement? (1)
Ans: 

The statement is wrong. Work done is zero because the centripetal force cannot do any work on the earth.

Q.3: Suppose a cyclist is negotiating a curve of radius r with speed v . Write the conditions under which skidding will occur. (1)
Ans: 

Skidding will occur in the event of:
(a) v (the speed of the cyclist) being large.
(b) r being small
(c) The road surface being slippery.

Q.4: Why does a cricket player lower his hands while catching a ball? (1)
Ans: 

By lowering his hands, the cricket player increases the interval in which the catch is taken. This increase in time interval results in the less rate of change of momentum. Therefore, in accordance with Newton’s second law of motion, less force acts on his hands and the player saves himself from being hurt.

Q.5: Why do small bubbles have excess of pressure? (1)
Ans: 

Excess pressure in a bubble
Lesser the value of radius of bubble ( r ), greater is the excess pressure.

Q.7: Can a simple pendulum experiment be conducted inside a satellite? (1)
Ans: 

Inside a satellite, the body is in a state of weightlessness So that the effective value of g is zero.

Thus, the pendulum will not oscillate at all, and therefore the experiment cannot be performed.

Q.8: Water in a closed tube is heated with one arm vertically placed above an arc lamp. The water will begin to circulate along the tube in the counter – clockwise direction. Is it true or false? (1)

Ans: 

False, water moves in a clockwise direction because on heating, water rushes from higher pressure area near B to lower pressure area near A.

(i) An isothermal process is that process in which the temperature ( T ) of the system remains constant though other variables ( P and V ) may change.
Here,   ΔT= 0
In an adiabatic process, the total heat content ( Q ) of the system remains constant though other variables ( P and T ) may change.
In this process, ΔQ= 0
(ii) A process in which volume ( V ) remains constant though other variables ( P and T ) may change, is called an isochoric process.
In this process, ΔV= 0
An isobaric process is that for which pressure (P) of the system remains constant though other variables (V and T) may change.
In this process, ΔP= 0

Q.18: It is easier to pull a lawn roller than to push it. Explain using the resolution of forces. (3)
Ans:

W is weight of the lawn roller. When pushed by applying a force  at an angleθ . F cosθ moves it forward while the apparent weight becomes W +F sinθ.
However when pulled, the apparent weight becomes W -F sinθ .
Since the force of friction is directly proportional to normal reaction (equal to apparent weight of the roller), it is more when it is pushed than when is pulled.

Thus, the impulse received during an impact is equal to the total change in momentum produced during the impact.

Q.22: While approaching a planet circling a distant star, a space traveller determines the planet’s radius to be half that of the Earth. After landing on the surface he finds the acceleration due to gravity to be twice that on the surface of the Earth. Find the ratio of the mass of the planet to that of the Earth. (3)
Ans: 

In case of the Earth,
In case of the planet,
Dividing these two equations, we get

But g_p = 2g_e
and
∴
Thus the ratio of the mass of the planet to the mass of the Earth is 1/2 .

Q.23: Oil spreads over the surface of water, whereas water does not spread over the surface of oil. Why? (3)
Ans: 

The surface tension of water is more than that of oil. Therefore, when oil is poured over water, greater value of surface tension of water pulls the oil in all directions and as such it spreads on the water. On the other hand, when water is poured over oil, it does not spread over it because the surface tension of oil being less than that of water, it is not able to pull water over it.

Q.24: Two vessels of the same size are at the same temperature. One of them holds 1 kg of N₂ gas and the other contains 1 kg of H₂ gas.
(i) Which of the vessels contains more molecules?
(ii) Which of the vessels is under greater pressure and why?
(iii) In which vessel is the average molecular speed greater? How many times is it greater?(3)
Ans: 

(i) Hydrogen will have more. As 2 g of hydrogen contains N molecules, I kg of hydrogen contains molecules, where N = 6.023*10²³ , In case of N₂ , 28 g of nitrogen contains N molecules. Therefore, 1 kg of nitrogen contains

(ii) Vessel containing hydrogen will have more pressure.

Since M and V are the same in both the cases,  therefore the pressure exerted by hydrogen is more than that by nitrogen.

Q.25: State the law of equipartition of energy. Show that the ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to specific heat at constant volume is 7/5 for a rigid diatomic molecule. (3)
Ans: 

In equilibrium, the total energy is equally distributed in all possible energy modes, with each mode having an average energy equal to 1/2kT. This is the law of equipartition of energy.
A diatomic molecule that can be taken as a rigid rotator with 5 degrees of freedom: 3 translational and 2 rotational. Using the law of equipartition of energy the total internal energy of a mole of such a gas is given by

(a) When the packet is dropped, it has a velocity of 14ms ^-1 in the upward direction. Taking the upward direction as +ve and down ward direction as -ve.
We have


∴

Considering only the +ve sign
v(t) =  v(0) + at

Thus, the final velocity of the body is along the downward direction.
(b) Both the graphs represent non-uniform motion.

Ques 28: (i)  Prove that the isothermal elasticity of a gas is equal to its pressure.

The difference between the length of a certain brass rod and that of steel rod is claimed to be constant at all temperatures. Is it possible? (5)
Ans: 

(i) Let there be a gas at constant pressure P and volume V . When the pressure increases from P to P + Δp , the volume decreases from V to V - ΔV.
Bulk modulus,
When the gas is impressed isothermally, Boyle’s law holds good, i.e.
PV = constant,
Differentiating w. r. t. V , we get

or

Thus, the isothermal elasticity of a gas is equal to its pressure. When the gas is compressed adiabatically, we get

Differentiating w. r. t. V , we get


Thus, the adiabatic elasticity of a gas is γ times the pressure of the gas.

Or
At a given temperature, let the length of the brass rod be L₁ , and that of the steel rod be L₂ . If L₂ >L₁ , the difference between the lengths = L₂ - L₁ = ΔL.
Let the temperature be raised to t^oC .
∴ Length of the brass rod at t^oC = L₁+ L₁α₁t
Length of the steel rod at t^oC = L₂+ L₂α ₂t
∴ Here α₁ and α₂ are the coefficients of brass and steel respectively.
Difference between the lengths of the rods at t^oC , say  
 
The difference remains that same at all temperatures

Thus, the length of the rods must be inversely proportional to the linear coefficient of their materials.

(i) The radar waves sent form the Earth strike the approaching aeroplane. Here the radar is a source which is stationary and the aeroplane is an observer which is moving towards the stationary source. We have to determine the velocity to the approaching plane.
∴ Apparent frequency, =
Where n is the velocity of the radar waves and v_s is the velocity of the aeroplane.
Now the aero plane receives waves of frequency n ' and acts as a source moving towards stationary observer, i.e. radar on the Earth. Since on reflection, the frequency does not change, the aero plane will reflect waves of frequency n'.
