(i) Shape of the Earth: The Earth is not perfectly spherical. It is slightly flattened at the 
poles and bulgy towards the equator. The value of g is maximum (9.83 m/s
2
) at the 
poles as the polar radius is minimum, while it is minimum (9.78 m/s
2

decreases. It varies by a value of

(R h)
, where R is the radius of the Earth. 
(iii) Depth: In the interior of the Earth, on an average, the value of g is less than that at 
the Earth’s surface. As the depth below the Earth’s surface increases, the value of g 
decreases, and finally, it becomes zero at the centre of the Earth.

(i) Mass is the amount of matter contained in a body. So, it can never be zero.  
(ii) Weight is the force with which the body is attracted towards the centre of the Earth. 
(iii) Mathematically, weight is the product of mass (m) and acceleration due to gravity 
(g). At the centre of the Earth, g is zero.

(i) The boat floats lower in water, that is, it sinks a little more in water. 
(ii) Weight of water displaced by the submerged part of the boat increases. 
(iii) Because of the greater weight of water displaced, the buoyant force acting on the 
boat increases. This greater buoyant force enables the extra weight of the man in the 
boat.

Hence, the ball reaches a maximum height of 44.1 m. 
 
(c)  After the first three seconds, the ball is moving downwards.  
Hence, 4 s after launch means 1 s after reaching the maximum height. 
Thus, according to the third equation of motion, we have

(a) Niels Bohr revised Rutherford’s atomic model and put forth the following 
suggestions: 
? Niels Bohr proposed that the electrons possess a specific amount of energy 
which allows them to revolve around the nucleus.  
? An atom contains discrete orbits which correspond to specific amount of energy. 
Hence, these orbits are also known as energy levels. 
? Energy levels of an atom are represented as K, L, M, N and so on or the numbers 
n = 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on.
