is said to do positive work if (when applied) it has a component in the direction of the displacement of the
point of application. A force does negative work if it has a component opposite to the direction of the
displacement at the point of application of the force.

Solution

Section A
1. a. Atomic Number is defined as the total number of protons present in one atom of an element.It is
denoted by the letter Z. The atomic number of element = Number of protons in one atom
of an element.
b. The mass number is defined as the total number of protons and neutrons present in one atom of
an element.It is denoted by the letter A. Mass number = No. of protons + No. of neutrons
2. Power of Avinash PA = FA . vA = 10 8 = 80 W
Power of Kapil PK = FK. vK = 25 3 = 75 W
So, Avinash is more powerful than Kapil.

3. Let the initial velocity = u
Let the maximum height reached = h m
When it reached , the velocity = 10m/s
Now

When the ball reaches the highest point, v = 0

Height = 10 m
Maximum height reached = 10m




Initial velocity of the ball when it was thrown up = 14.14 m/s.
Velocity after 1s



Acceleration after 1s = -10m/s2
4. Case (i) = For the first ball
Initial velocity (u) = 0
Final velocity (v) = ?

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 ms-2

Distance of fall (S) = 20 m
Time of fall (t) = ?
Using we have time of fall of the first ball

Since the second ball is thrown 1 second later. Therefore for the two balls to reach the ground at the
same time, the second ball should in motion for t = 2 - 1 = 1 second
Therefore using the equation we have

5. Every microorganism shows its effect on any particular tissue or organ after entering into the body.
Thus, there is a change in the structure and function of the tissue or organ. For example, if the lungs
are the targets, the symptoms will be cough and breathlessness. If the liver is the target, there will be
jaundice. This is called Organs specific manifestation.

OR

The following steps are taken by the doctors/nurses to avoid getting sick themselves:
i. Immunisation.
ii. Wearing gloves and masks.
iii. Taking proteinaceous food to enhance their immunity.
iv. Taking prophylactic medicines.
v. Disposing the blood samples, sputum, etc. safely.
6. mA = mB = 1000 kg. v = 36 km/h= 10 m/s
Frictional force = 100 N
Since, the car A moves with a uniform speed, it means that the engine of car applies a force equal to the
frictional force.
Power =
=
=100 N × 10 m/s = 1000 W
after collision,
mAuA + mBuE = mAυA + mB
1000 × 10 + 1000 × 0 = 1000 × 0 + 1000 ×υB

vB = 10 ms-1.

OR

i. Energy possessed due to the position of a body is called potential energy.

ii. The work done against gravity in both cases is mgh. It is independent of the path along which the
body is moved and it depends only on the initial and final positions of the body.
7. i. No, her friend will not agree with the weight of gold bought because weight at poles is greater than
the weight at equator.

ii. We know that the gravitational force is always attractive, still, the moon does not fall on the earth
because the gravitational force between the earth and the moon works as the necessary centripetal
force for the moon to make it revolve around the earth.

(i) The number of electrons gained, lost or shared to form an octet of electrons in the outermost shell,
gives us the combining capacity of an element. The combining capacity of each atom to form molecules
is called its valency. The atomic number gives the number of electrons in the outermost (valence) shell.
If the number of valence electrons is less than 5, the number of valence electrons is the valency of the
element. If the number of outermost electrons is 5 or more, the number of valence electrons is
subtracted from 8 to get the valency of the element.
Valency = Number of valence electrons (for 4 or lesser valence electrons)

 myCBSEguide

Valency = 8 - Number of valence electrons (for more than 4 valence electrons)

(ii) The valency of the given elements is as follows:-
Elements Atomic no. Electronic Configuration Valency

Chlorine 17 2, 8, 7 -1

Sulphur 16 2, 8, 6 -2

Aluminium 13 2, 8, 3 +3
10. a. Lungs - cough, breathlessness
b. Liver - jaundice
c. Brain - headache, vomiting, fits.
11. i. D and E have the same mass number but different atomic numbers. Hence, they are a pair of
isobars.
ii. Electronic configuration of C is 2(K), 5(L). Hence, its valency is three because it gains three
electrons to attain a stable electronic configuration.
iii. For a neutral atom, Number of electrons = Number of protons
Thus, electrons and protons are equal in numbers in a neutral atom.

12. Limitations of Rutherford's model of atom:

(i) According to classical electromagnetic theory, a charged particle such as an electron moving under
the influence of attractive electrostatic forces would lose energy continuously in the form of radiation.
As a result of this, the electrons should lose energy and would move in even smaller orbits, ultimately
falling into the nucleus. But the collapse of electrons into the nucleus does not occur. There is no
explanation for this behaviour in the Rutherford's model of atom.

(ii) Rutherford did not specify the number of orbits in an atom and the number of electrons in each
orbit.

OR

An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom. Alpha decay is a radioactive process in
which a particle with two neutrons and two protons is ejected from the nucleus of a radioactive atom.

a) Many – particle passed through the gold foil undeflected. This shows that most of the space inside
an atom is empty.
b) Few – particles deflected through small angles. This shows that there is a positive charge at the
centre of the gold atom. (Repulsion of positively-charged aplha particles)
c) Few – particles after striking the gold foil retraced their path. (Strong repulsion of positivel-
charged aplha particles). This shows that all the positive charge is concentrated in a very small volume
inside an atom. This concentration of positive charge was called the nucleus.

13. (a) Balanced diet contain all the nutrient required for maintaining proper health as well as needed for
growth and repair. Lack of single nutrient causes deficiency diseases.
(b) surrounding environmental conditions plays an important role in the maintenance of health. For ex
we feel depressed if –
(i) surrounding are dirty or polluted
(ii) garbage is not collected or disposed off
(iii) drains are not cleaned and water collects in the streets or open spaces. Unclean surrounding causes

It may be transformed from one form to another, but the total energy of the system remains
constant.
ii. The energy possessed by a body due to a displacement caused in it by the application of a force is
called mechanical energy.
