Atom can be described as in building houses the building blocks of all matter are atoms. A molecule is
in general a group of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded together, that is, tightly held
together by attractive forces. A molecule can be defined as the smallest particle of an element or a
compound that is capable of independent existence and shows all the properties of that substance.
Atoms of the same element or of different elements can join together to form a molecule. The number
of atoms constituting a molecule is known as its atomicity. Metals and some other elements, such as
carbon, do not have a simple structure but consist of a very large and indefinite number of atoms
bonded together.

Read the passage and answer any four question
The chemical reaction equation indicates directly the number of atoms or molecules taking part in the
reaction. Avogadro constant, NA, when expressed in the unit mol-1 and is called the Avogadro
number. The amount of substance, symbol n, of a system is a measure of the number of specified
elementary entities. An elementary entity may be an atom, a molecule, an ion, an electron, any other
particle or a specified group of particles. The mass of 1 mole of a substance is equal to its relative
atomic or molecular mass in grams. The atomic mass of an element gives us the mass of one atom of
that element in atomic mass units (u).

15) Potential energy is stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of asystem.
Spring has more potential energy when it is compressed or stretched. A steel ball has more potential
energy raised above the ground than it has after falling to Earth.

If a body falls from a height bounces from the ground and again goes upwards with loss of a part of its
energy.
i)How will its potential energy change?
ii)What are various energy conversions taking place?
iii)What will be its ultimate energy?

(OR) 4

Work is closely related to energy. The work-energy principle states that an increase in the kinetic
energy of a rigid body is caused by an equal amount of positive work done on the body by the resultant
force acting on that body.
i. Define potential energy.
ii. Give an example where potential energy is acquired by a body due to change in its shape.

iii. A skier of mass 50 kg stands at A, at the top of a ski jump. He takes off from A for his jump to
B.Calculate the change in his gravitational potential energy between A and B.

3) During sickness the body becomes weak, and the digestive system does not work
properly.
So easily digested food needs to be taken during this period as well as food rich in
nutrients are advised to take. 2
The immunity of the body decreases during disease or infection. Hence, bland and
nourishing food is given for speedy recovery

4) Infectious diseases are generally spread through the following modes – Water, air,
vector such as mosquito, sexual contact, physical contact with the affected, or by using 2
affected person’s clothes, bedding, utensils, etc

5) Some of the precautions that we can take in our school to reduce the incidence of
infectious diseases are (any four points)
• Drinking clean and hygienic water.
2
• Preventing the accumulation of water in surroundings.
• Keeping the toilet neat and clean.
• Avoiding consumption of uncovered food and other eatables.
 • Taking bath daily
• Have a balanced diet.
• Provide a clean environment which prevents the breeding of mosquitoes.
OR
Some important precautions that need to be taken by the doctor/nurse/health-worker
while treating people who are sicker than others in the community are –(any four
points)
(a). When in contact with a diseased person not to forget to wear a mask.
(b). Drinking purified water.
(c). Not neglecting cleanliness and personal hygiene.
(d). Keeping themselves covered appropriately when moving in an infected region
(e). Eating nutritious food and maintaining a healthy diet
6) a)It can be found out by observing the behavioural changes of the child such as:
• Improper food intake
• Constant crying
• Mood changes frequently
(b). The sickness can be determined with the help of symptoms or indications shown
by the child. The symptoms could be loose motion, vomiting, paleness in body and
fever.
OR 2

C )A person is more likely to fall sick when his/her friend is suffering from measles.
This is because measles is highly contagious and can easily spread through the air.
This highly contagious virus is spread by coughing and sneezing via close personal
contact or direct contact with body secretions.
Hence, if a friend is suffering from measles, it is advised to stay away from him/ her to
prevent ourselves from getting infected.
7) Case I
In this case, the direction of force functioning on the block is perpendicular to the
displacement. Therefore, work done by force on the block will be zero.
Case II
In this case, the direction of force functioning on the block is in the direction of 2
displacement. Therefore, work done by force on the block will be positive.
Case III
In this case, the direction of force functioning on the block is contrary to the direction
of displacement. Therefore, work done by force on the block will be negative

9) i) Initial velocity of the ball (u) = 49 ms-1

Final velocity of the ball (v) = 0
3
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = -9.8 ms-2
[In upward direction g is -ve] Height attained by the ball (S) = ?
 Time for rising up (t) =?
We know : v2 - u2 = 2 gS
(0)2 - (49)2 = 2 × (9.8) × S
S = 122.5 m
We know v = u + gt
0 = 49 + 9.8 × t ⇒ t = 49/9.8
⇒t=5s
ii)Now, time for upward journey of the ball
= the time for downward journey of the ball.
∴ Total time is taken by the ball to return to the surface of earth = 2 × t = 2 × 5 = 10 s
OR
Since work done by force = Change in the kinetic energy of the moving body
Therefore, Work done by force
Ek =1/2 mv2

= 1/2x 20x2x2=40
=250-40
