4. According to Kepler’s second law, the radial vector to a planet from the Sun sweeps
out equal areas in equal intervals of time. This law is a consequence of
(A) conservation of linear momentum. (B) conservation of angular momentum
(C) conservation of energy. (D) conservation of kinetic energy
8. After terminal velocity is reached, the acceleration of a body falling through a fluid is
(a) equal to g (b) zero (c) less than g (d) greater than g
9. Kerosene oil rises up in a wick of a lantern because of
(a) diffusion of the oil through the wick (b) capillary action (c) buoyant force of air
(d) the gravitational pull of the wick.
11. If a liquid rises to the same height in two capillaries of the same material at the
same temperature
a) The weight of liquid in both capillaries must be equal
b) The radius of meniscus must be equal
c) The capillaries must be cylindrical and vertical
d) The hydrostatic pressure at the base of capillaries must be the same
a) a and c are true b) b and d are true c) a and b are true d) b and c are true
12. Why water on a clean glass surface tends to spread out while mercury on the same
surface tends to form drops.
Stress-Strain Curve
The graph shown below shows qualitatively the relation between the stress and the strain as
the deformation gradually increases. Within Hooke’s limit for a certain region stress and
strain relation is linear. Beyond that up to a certain value of strain the body is still elastic
and if deforming forces are removed the body recovers its original shape.
1. Within the limit of elasticity, which of the following graph obey Hooke’s law?
4. Stress- strain curve for two wires A and B are as shown in the figure
a. Which material is more ductile? b. Which wire has greater value of Young’s
Modulus?
14. Write any two differences between gravitational potential and gravitational potential
energy.
15. State Kepler’s laws of planetary motion in terms of: -
a-Law of area,b- Law of periods.
16. In a car lift, compressed air exerts a force F1 on a small piston having a radius of 5
cm. This pressure is transmitted to a second piston of radius 10 cm. If the mass of the
car to be lifted is 1350 kg, Calculate F1.What is the pressure necessary to accomplish
this task?
Answer any three of the following Questions-3X3=9
18. Define terminal velocity. Eight rain drops of radius 1mm each falling downward
with terminal velocity 5 m/s. coalesce to form big drop. Find the terminal velocity of
the big drop.
19. What is orbital velocity? Derive an expression for it and also derive time period of a
satellite.
20. Explain why
a)To keep a piece of paper horizontal, you should blow over, not under, it (b) Water
wets the glass and not mercury. c) What is the effect of temperature on the surface
tension of a liquid?
Answer the following Questions-5X1=5
21. State and prove Bernoulli’s theorem with the help of neat and labeled diagram.
OR
Show that the excess of pressure inside a drop is inversely proportional to its
radius.
What is the pressure inside the drop of mercury of radius 3.00 mm at room
temperature? Surface tension of mercury at that temperature (20 °C) is
4.65 × 10–1 N m–1 .The atmospheric pressure is 1.01 × 105 Pa..
