CASE STUDY (Q. 8 and Q. 9 are based on this case study)
Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet in the solar system. Its mean radius, at 69,911 ± 6
km, makes it 10.97 times the size of Earth, while its mass (1.8986×1027 kg) is the equivalent of
317.8 times as that of Earth. But being a gas giant, Jupiter is naturally less dense than Earth and
other terrestrial planets, with a mean density of 1.326 g/cm3.
Q8. Based on the above data, acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is approximately 3 times greater 1
than that on the earth's surface. If the mass of a body is 70kg on earth, then find its weight on
Jupiter (take g (on earth) = 10m/s2).
(a) 2100 N
(b) 2100 kg
(c) 700 N
(d) 210 N
Q9. The gravitational force between two objects on Jupiter is F. If the masses of the objects remain 1
the same, but the distance between them is tripled, then, the gravitational force will become
(a) F/3
(b) F/9
 (c) 3F
(d) 9F

SECTION B- Short answer types questions

Q10. a) Calculate the mass of 3.011 × 1023 number of Nitrogen atoms. (Atomic mass of Nitrogen = 1
14g)
b)Calcium chloride when dissolved in water dissociates into its ions according to the following 2
equation.
CaCl2 (aq) → Ca2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq)
Calculate the number of ions obtained from CaCl2 when 222 g of it is dissolved in water.
Q11. a) Differentiate between Mass and Weight 1
b) Differentiate between G and g. 1
Q12. a) The weight of an object goes on decreasing as we move from poles towards the equator. 1
Justify your answer with supportive mathematical formulae and explanations.
b) We can see that an apple falls towards the earth. Why the earth doesn't move upwards
1
towards the apple since gravitational force is universal and mutual?
Q13. ‘Being disease-free is not the same as being healthy’, Justify this statement with a suitable 2
example.
Q14. Which amongst the two diseases: acute or chronic has adverse effects on the health of a 2
person? Explain giving a suitable example.
