1. State Newton’s universal law of gravitation.
Ans.
Ans.
Ans.
4. Why rain drops are spherical in shape?
Ans. Raindrops take up the spherical shape due to the surface tension of water which is caused due to the tendency
of water molecules to stick together. The spherical shape is having the least possible surface area due to which it can
resist any of the external force in the atmosphere.
Ans
Isothermal Adiabatic
The pressure is more at a given volume The pressure is less at a given volume
The temperature remains constant The temperature changes due to internal system variations.
Heat can be added or released to the system There is no addition of heat nor heat is released because
just to keep the same temperature maintaining constant temperature doesn’t matter here.
Ans Oscillations where particles are displaced perpendicular to the wave direction is called transverse wave.
8. a) Write expression for gravitational force acting between two masses m 1 and m2 separated by distance ‘r’.
Ans. F=Gm1 m2 / r2
Ans Suppose that ABC is a half drop of a liquid, whose radius is r and surface tension is T. On the molecules of liquid
towards the part, the cohesive force F1 would be downwards.
Thus, the pressure inside the drop is more than the pressure outside the drop.
Ans. an ideal pendulum consisting of a point mass suspended by a weightless inextensible perfectly flexible thread
and free to vibrate without friction —distinguished from physical pendulum is called simple pendulum.
Ans.
c) What is the effective length of a second pendulum?
Ans.
ans. Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance per unit
of mass. The specific heat capacity of a material is a physical property. It is also an example of an extensive property
since its value is proportional to the size of the system being examined.
Latent heat can be defined as energy in hidden form which is supplied or extracted to change the state of a substance
without changing its temperature.
Ans according to this law the total heat lost by the hot body is equal to the total heat gained by the cold body.

The gravitational potential at a point in the gravitational field of a body is defined as the amount of work done in
displacing a body of unit mass from infinity to that point in the field.
b) Derive an
expression for
gravitational potential
of a mass.
18. Derive an expression for a) displacement b) velocity of an object describing simple harmonic motion(SHM)
Molar heat capacity or molar specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature
of 1 mole of a substance. In SI units, molar heat capacity (symbol: cn) is the amount of heat in joules required to raise
1 mole of a substance 1 Kelvin.
ans. The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy, and thermodynamic
processes are therefore subject to the principle of conservation of energy. This means that heat
energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be transferred from one location to another
and converted to and from other forms of energy.
c) Derive relation Cp – Cv = R
ans

Ans.
2. Obtain dimensional formula of G.
Ans The strain produced in rubber is much larger compared to that in steel. This means that steel has a larger value
of Young's modulus of elasticity and hence, steel has more elasticity than rubber.
Ans.The ratio of the shearing stress to the velocity gradient of the fluid is called the
coefficient of viscosity η.
5. Calculate the temperature which has same numeral value on Celsius and Fahrenheit
scale.
Ans.
6. What is the phase difference between velocity and displacement of particle executing S.H.M.?
Ans.
7. Write one difference between a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave.
Ans.
9. a) Define stress.
Ans. Stress is a physical quantity that defines force per unit area applied to a material
b) Define strain.
Ans It is the ratio of change in dimension of a body to the original dimension of the
same body before the deforming force was applied on it. It is the physical quantity that
quantifies the deformation of an object.
c) Distinguish between elasticity and plasticity
Elasticity Plasticity
Elasticity is the property of the solid material by virtue of which it tends Plasticity is the property of the solid
to regain its shape after the removal of external load. material by virtue of which it tends to
retain its deformed shape even after the
removal of external load.
In elastic deformation, although atoms of the solid are displaced from In plastic deformation, atoms of the solid

external loading is removed. So atoms are temporarily displaced. original lattice site. They retain the new
position even after the removal of external
loading.
External force required for elastic deformation of solid is quite small. Force required for plastic deformation is
also higher.
Hooke’s Law of elasticity is applicable within this elastic region. Hooke’s Law is not applicable if the
material is plastically deformed.
Most solid materials display a linear stress-strain behavior within this Stress-strain curve is non-linear in plastic

Energy absorbed by the material during elastic deformation is called Total energy absorbed by the material

region is called module of toughness.
Elastic deformation occurs prior to plastic deformation. Plastic deformation occurs only after it is
elastically deformed.
Mechanical and metallurgical properties of the solid material remain Many properties of the solid material
unaltered when it is elastically deformed. change considerably for plastic
deformation.

19. Define different types of coefficients of thermal expansion. Derive relation among them.
Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in shape, area, and volume in response to a change
in temperature.[1]
Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance. When a substance is
heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases. Thus, the molecules begin vibrating/moving more and usually
maintain a greater average separation. Materials which contract with increasing temperature are unusual; this effect is
limited in size, and only occurs within limited temperature ranges (see examples below). The relative expansion (also
called strain) divided by the change in temperature is called the material's coefficient of thermal expansion and
generally varies with temperature.
There three types of thermal expansion:
When heat is applied on a body, its length expands proportional to the original
length or the change in temperature in the body.
Area Thermal Expansion
When heat is applied on a body, its area expands proportional to the original
area or the change in temperature in the body.
Volume Thermal Expansion
When heat is applied on a body, its volume expands proportional to the
original volume or the change in temperature in the body.
