Section A
Question 1:
State the number of significant figures 0.000040027 m2.

Solution:
The number of significant figures in 0.000040027 m2 is 5.

If the number is less than one, then the zeroes on the right of the decimal point (but left to the first
non-zero) are insignificant. Hence, all four zeroes appearing before 4 are not significant figure. All
zero between two non-zero digit are always significant. Hence, the remaining five digits are
significant figures.
Question 2:

Question 6:
A student measures the thickness of a hanuman hair by looking at it through a microscope of

magnification 100. He makes 20 observations and finds that the average width of the hair in the
field of view of the microscope is 3.5 mm. What is the estimate on the thickness of hair?
Solution:
Magnification of the microscope =100

Average width of the hair in the field of view of the microscope =3.5 mm
3.5
Actual thickness of the hair is =0.035 mm.
100
Question 7:
Three girls skating on a circular ice ground of radius 200 m starts from a point P on the edge of the
ground and reach a point Q diametrically opposite to P following different paths as show in figure
What is the magnitude of the displacement vector for each? For which girl is this equal to the
actual length of the path skated?
Solution:
Displacement is given by the minimum displacement between the initial and final positions of a
particle. In the given case, all the girls start from point P and reach point Q. The magnitudes of
their displacements will be equal to the diameter of the ground.
Radius of the ground = 200 m
Diameter of the ground = 2 * 200 = 400 m
Hence, the magnitude of the displacement for each girl is 400 m. this is equal to the actual length
of the path skated by girl B.
Question 8:
A rocket with a lift-off mass 10,000 kg is blasted upwards with an initial acceleration of 2.2 m/𝑠 −2 .
Calculate the initial thrust (force) of the blast.
Solution:
Mass of the rocket, m = 10,000kg
Initial acceleration, a = 2.5 m/s 2
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/𝑠 2
Using Newton’s second law of motion, the net force (thrust) acting on the rocket is given by the
relation:
F – mg = ma
F = m(g + a)
= 10000 × (9.8 + 2.2)
= 10000 × 12
= 1.2 × 105 N
Question 9:
The stress-strain graphs for graphs for materials A and B are shown in Figure (a) and Figure (b):
The graphs are drawn to the same scale.
(a) Which of the materials has greater Young's modulus?
(b) Which of the two is the stronger material?
Solution:
(a) In the two graphs, the slope of the graph in figure (a) is greater than the slope of the graph in
figure (b), so material A has greater Young's modulus.
(b) Material A is stronger than material B, become it can withstand more load without breaking.
For material A the breakeven point (D) is higher.
Question 10:
An electric heater supplies heat to a system at a rate of 200 W. If the system performs work at a
rate of 150 J/s. At what rate is the internal energy increasing?
Solution:
Heat energy supplied per second by the heater, Q  200 W  200 J s
Work done by the system ( W ) = + 150 J/s
Rate of change in internal energy ( U ) = ?
According to first law of thermodynamics,
U  Q  W

Question 11:
Does short-sightedness (myopia) or long-sightedness (hypermetropia) imply necessarily that the

eye has partially lost its ability of accommodation? If not, what might cause these defects of
vision?
Solution:
No, a myopic or hypermetropic person may have normal ability of accommodation of the eye lens.
The partial loss of ability of accommodation of eye lens is called presbyopia. It can be corrected in
the way hypermetropia is dealt with.
Question 12:
The near vision of an average person is 25 cm. To view an object with an angular magnification of
10, what should be the power of the microscope?
Solution:
We know that, m = v /u = D/ f
D
 f 

We are given that, v = D = 25 cm and u = f
Substituting D = 25 cm and m= 10, we get

Question 13:
On a two - lane road, car A is travelling with a speed of 36 km h-1. Two cars B and C approach
car A in opposite directions with a speed of 54 km h-1 each. At a certain instant, when the
distance AB is equal to AC, both being 1 km, B decides to overtake A before C does. What
minimum acceleration of car B is required to avoid an accident?
Solution:
Velocity of car A, vA = 36 km/h = 10m/s

Velocity of car B, vB = 54km/h = 15 m/s
Velocity of car C, vC =54km/h = 15m/s
Relative velocity of car B with respect to car A,
vBA= vB-vA
=15 − 10 = 5m/s
Relative velocity of car C with respect to car A,
vCA = vC − (−vA)
vCA = 15 + 10 = 25m/s
At a certain instance, both cars B and C are at the same distance from car A i.e.,
s = 1 km = 1000 m
Time taken (t) by car C to cover 1000 m = 1000/25 = 40 s
Hence, to avoid an accident, car B must cover the same distance in a maximum of
40 s

Question 14:
A person arriving in a new town wishes to go from the station to a hotel located 10 km away on a
straight road from the station. A dishonest cabman takes him along a circuitous path 23 km long
and reaches the hotel in 28 min. what is (a) the average speed of the taxi, (b) the magnitude of
average velocity? Are the two equals?
Solution:
(a) Total distance travelled = 23 km

28
Total time taken = 28 min = h
60
Average speed of the taxi = Total distance travelled
Total time taken
23
= = 49.29km/h

(b) Distance between the hotel and the station = 10 km displacement of the car
10
= = 21.43 km/h

Average velocity: Therefore, the two physical quantities (average speed and average velocity) are
not equal.
Question 15:
What are laws of limiting friction?
Solution:
The laws of limiting friction are as follows:
(i) The magnitude of the force of limiting friction (F) between any two bodies in contact is directly
proportional to the normal reaction (R) between them i.e. F  R.
(ii) The direction of the force of limiting friction is always opposite to the direction in which one
body is at the verge of moving over the other.
(iii) The force of limiting friction is independent of the apparent area of contact, as long as the
normal reaction between the two bodies in contact remains same.
(iv) The force of limiting friction between any two bodies in contact depends on the nature of
material of the surfaces in contact and their roughness or smoothness.
Question 16:
What are conservative and non-conservative forces? Give examples?
Solution:
Conservative forces: A force is said to be conservative if work done by or against the force in
moving a body depends on the initial and final positions of the body and not on the nature of the
path followed between the initial and final positions. This means, work done by or against a
conservative force in moving body over any path between fixed initial and final position will be
the same.
Example: Gravitational force, electrostatic force.
Non-conservative force: A force is said to be non-conservative, if work done by or against the

force in moving a body from one position to another, depends on the path followed between these
two positions.
Example: Frictional force
Question 17:
A body constrained to move along the z-axis of a coordinate system is subject to a constant force F
given by F = – 𝑖 + 2 𝑗 + 3 𝑘N where 𝑖, 𝑗, 𝑘 are unit vectors along the X-, Y- and Z-axis of the
system respectively. What is the work done by this force in moving the body a distance of 4m
along the Z- axis?
Solution:
Force exerted on the body, F = - 𝑖 + 2𝑗 + 3𝑘N
Displacement, s = 4 𝑘m
Work done, W = F. S
= (-𝑖 +2𝑗 + 3𝑘). (4𝑘)
= 0 + 0 – 3× 4
= 12 J
Hence, 12 J of work is done by the force on the body.
OR
Question 17:
Answer the following. Give reason to support your answer.
(a) In an elastic collision of two billiards balls, is the total kinetic energy conserved during the
short collision of the balls (i.e., when they are in contact)
(b) Is the total linear momentum conserved during the short time of an elastic collision of two
balls?
(c) If the potential energy of two billiards balls depends only on the separation distance between
their centres, is the collision elastic or inelastic? (Note, we are talking here of potential energy
corresponding to the force during collision, not gravitational potential energy)
Solution:
(a) No
In an elastic collision, the total initial kinetic energy of the balls will be equal to the total final
kinetic energy of the balls. This kinetic energy is not conserved at the instant the two balls are in
contact with each other. In fact, at the time of collision, the kinetic energy of the balls will get
converted into potential energy.
(b) Yes
In an elastic collision, the total linear momentum of the system always remains conserved.
(c) In the given case, the forces involved are conservation. This is because they depend on the
separation between the centres of the billiards balls. Hence, the collision is elastic.
Question 18:
Explain why?
(a) The blood pressure in humans is greater at the feet than the brain.
(b) Atmospheric pressure at a height of about 6 km decreases to nearly half its value at the sea
level, though the height of the atmosphere is more than 100 km.
(c) Hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity even though the pressure is force divided by area.
Solution:
(a) The pressure of liquid column is given by p = hpg, where h is depth, p is the density and g is
the acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, pressure of liquid column increases with depth. The
height of the blood column in the human body is more at feet than in the brain. Therefore, the
blood pressure in humans is greater at the feet than the brain.
(b) The density of air is maximum near the surface of the earth and decreases rapidly with height.
At a height of 6 km, the density of air decreases to nearly half of its value at the sea level. Beyond
6 km height, the density of air decreases very slowly with height. Hence, the atmospheric pressure
at a height of about 6 km decreases to nearly half of its value at the sea level.
(c) When force is applied on a liquid, the pressure is transmitted equally in all directions inside the
liquid. Therefore, hydrostatic pressure has no fixed direction and hence, it is a scalar quantity.
Question 19:
A thermodynamic system is taken from an original state D to an intermediate state E by linear

process shown in figure here. Then, its volume is reduced to the original value from E to D via. F
by an isobaric process. Calculate the total work done by the gas from D to E to F.
Solution:

 The total work done by the gas from D to E to F,
W = 1350-900 = 450 J
Question 20:
Three vessels of equal capacity have gases at the same temperature and pressure. The first vessel
contains neon (monatomic), the second contains chlorine (diatomic), and the third contains
uranium hexafluoride (polyatomic). Do the vessels contain equal number of respective molecules?
Is the root mean square speed of molecules the same in the three cases? If not, in which case is vrms
the largest?
Solution:
Yes, according to Avogadro’s law, equal amount of gases have equal number of molecules/atoms
at the same temperature and pressure.
No, root mean square speed of molecules of three given gases is not same. As root mean square
speed is given by:
3RT
vrms 
M

vrms 
M
For constant temperature of samples atomic mass is least for neon, hence vrms is largest for Ne.
Question 21:
One end of a U-tube containing mercury is connected to a suction pump and the other end to
atmosphere. A small pressure difference is maintained between the two columns. Show that, when
the suction pump is removed, the column of mercury in the U-tube executes simple harmonic
motion.
Solution:
Area of cross-section of the U-tube = A
Density of the mercury column = 
Acceleration due to gravity = g
Restoring force, FR =Weight of the mercury column of a certain height
FR = – (Volume × Density ×g)
FR= – (A× 2h×  ×g) = –2A  gh = – k × displacement in one of the arms (h)

Question 22:

bowl of radius a figure. The far edge of the disc is just visible when viewed from the edge of the
bowl. The bowl is filled with transparent liquid of refractive index  and the near edge of the disc
becomes just visible. How far below the top of the bowl is the disc placed?

Question 23:
Answer the following:
(a) The triple-point of water is a standard fixed point in modern thermometry. Why? What is
wrong in taking the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water as standard fixed points (as
was originally done in the Celsius scale)?
(b) The absolute temperature (Kelvin scale) T is related to the temperature tc on the Celsius scale
by tc = T – 273.15? Why do we have 273.15 in this relation, and not 273.16?
(c) What is the temperature of the triple-point of water on an absolute scale whose unit interval
size is equal to that of the Fahrenheit scale?
Solution:
(a) The triple point of water has a unique value of 273.16 K. At specific values of volume and
pressure, the triple point of water is always 273.16 K. The melting point of ice and boiling point of
water do not have specific values because these points depend on pressure and temperature.
(b) The temperature 273.16 K is not the melting point of ice but the triple point of water. The
temperature 0oC on the Celsius scale is the melting point of ice and its corresponding value on the
Kelvin scale is 273.15 K. Thus, the absolute temperature T (Kelvin scale) is related to temperature
tc on Celsius scale as: tc = T – 273.15.

the temperatures can be related as:

Solution:
Theorem of perpendicular axes: According to this theorem, the moment of inertia of a plane
lamina about any axis perpendicular to the plane of the lamina is equal to sum of the moments of
inertia of the lamina about any two mutually perpendicular axes in the plane of the lamina, meeting
at a point where the given axis passes through the lamina. For a plane lamina, mathematically, it

Question 25:

mass of the body in a direction parallel to the given axis, thus the product of total mass m of the
body and square of the perpendicular distance between the two parallel axes. It states that

Question 26:
(a) Suppose a planet existed that went around the sun twice as fast as the earth. What would be its
orbital size as compared to that of the earth?
(b) How will you ‘weigh the sun’, that is estimate its mass? The mean orbital radius of the earth
around the sun is 1.5×108 km.
Solution:
(a)
We know that,
Time taken by the Earth to complete one revolution around the Sun, Te = 1 year
Orbital radius of the Earth in its orbit, Re. = 1 AU
1 1
Time taken by the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun, Tp = Te  year
2 2
Orbital radius of the planet = Rp
From Kepler's third law of planetary motion, we can write:

 Rp   Tp 

   =  2  = (0.5)2/3 = 0.63
 
R e  Te  1
 
 
Therefore, the orbital radius of the planet will be 0.63 times smaller than that of the earth.
(b)
Given,
Orbital radius of the Earth around the Sun, r = 1.5 x 1011 m
Time taken by the Earth to complete one revolution around the Sun,
T =1 year =365.25 days = 365.25 ×24×60×60 s
Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm2 Kg-2
Thus, mass of Sun can be calculated using the relation,
M=
4 2 r 2

Hence, the mass of the Sun is 2.0  10 30 Kg
Question 27:
Show that for a material with refractive index μ  2 , light incident at any angle shall be guided
along a length perpendicular to the incident face.
Solution:
Any ray entering at an angle i shall be guided along AC if the angle ray makes with the face AC
() is greater than the critical angle.
According to the principle of total internal reflection, we have
 + r = 90°
   90  r
 sin   sin  90  r 
 sin   sin r ... 1

When i  , then we have the smallest possible value of the angle .

If it is greater than the critical angle, then all other angles of incidence shall be more than the
critical angle,

Question 27:
A myopic adult has a far point at 0.1 m. His power of accommodation is 4D.
(i) What power lenses are required to see distant objects?

(ii) What is his near point without glasses?
(iii) What is his near point with glasses? (Take the image distance from the lens of the eye to the
retina to be 2 cm.)
Solution:
If two thin lenses of focal length f1 and f2 are in contact, then the effective focal length of the
combination is given by
1 1 1
 
f f1 f 2
Also, the effective power of the combination is given by

P = P1 + P2
(i) Let the power at the far point be Pf for the normal relaxed eye of an average person.
1 1 1
Now, Pf   
f f1 f 2

Substituting f1 = 0.1and f2   0.02 , we get
40
1 1 1
Pf     60 D
f 0.1 0.02
By the corrective lens the object distance at the far point is infinity.
The power required is given by
1 1 1
Pf'     50 D
f '  0.02
For eye + lens system, we have the sum of the eye and that of the glasses Pg
 Pf'  Pf  Pg
 Pg  Pf'  Pf
Substituting Pf  60D and P ' f  50D, we get
Pg = −10D
(ii) We are given that the power of accommodation of adult is 4D for the normal eye.
Let us suppose Pn be the power of the normal eye for near vision.
∴4 = Pn – Pf
or Pn = 64 D
Let his near point be xn, then
