Physics test A1 e.

The density of a newly invented planet is

twice that of earth. If its radius is half of earth, find
FM: 45 Time-2h acceleration due to gravity on the surface of that
10X1 planet.

1. f. A particle moving with constant speed may or may

not have acceleration. Explain with example.
a. Earth attracts an apple with a force of 1 N.
With what force the apple will attract the earth? g. When you jump on sand, it is less painful than
Greater than/equal/less than to 1N…explain a cemented floor….explain

b. The same force for same time causes the h. Explain why a team wins in tug of war if action
same change in ______ for different bodies. reactions are equal?

c. For constant negative velocity, draw position- i. You are running along a circular path. Is there
time graph. any motion of the centre of the circle with respect to
you? Explain
d. Negative acceleration may increase
speed…explain j. 30N vertically upward force is applied on a
2Kg block for 5s. Find Kinetic energy and potential
e. Explain displacement per sec and energy at t=5s.
displacement in one second are different.
3X5
f. Is there any force acting on a body during free
fall? Explain 3. An artificial satellite revolves round the earth
in circular orbit at height 7R (R=radius of earth) in 24h
g. Can up thrust be more than weight of a (called geostationary satellite). What will be the time
floating object in water? Explain period of another satellite (called spy satellite) which
revolves very near to earth surface?
h. Represents graphically the density variations
when sound wave travels through air. 4. A metal block (density 8g/cc) is tied with
another wood block (density 0.8g/cc). The entire
i. Define Intensity of sound.
system just floats in water. If mass of wood is 5Kg,
j. A sound wave travels at a speed of 330 m s–1. find mass of metal used.
If its wavelength is 1.5 cm, is it audible?
5. A person driving a car with a speed of 72 km/h
2. 2X10 observes a boy crossing the road at a distance of 100
m from the car. Driver applies the brakes and retards
a. Represent two sounds of different pitch the car with a retardation of 5 m/s2 and is just able to
graphically. How they differ? avoid this accident. Find the reaction time of driver.

b. An Apple is falling towards Earth with an
acceleration 10 m/s2 . Is it possible that it is just an
illusion? Instead of the apple, earth is moving towards
the apple with the acceleration 10 m/s2 ?
c. For distinct echoes, the minimum distance of
the obstacle from the observer must be 17.2 m. speed
of sound in air is 344m/s. Explain.
d. A body weighs 90 N on the surface of earth.
Find the gravitational force on it due to earth at a
height equal to (a) half the radius of earth. At what
depth same weight is observed for case (a)
6. In a cricket match a batsman hit a straight
drive with a speed of 5 ms-1 . Incoming ball is also with
moving with a speed 5 speed of ms-1 . Mass of ball is
200 g. Contact time between ball and bat is 0.02
second. What is the average force exerted by the
cricket bat on the ball?
7. A ball is thrown vertically upward with a
speed of 100 ms-1. Neglecting the air resistance draw
acceleration time graph also draw the corresponding
velocity time graph. Find displacement and distance
covered in 15 s.
