‭Class - IX SCIENCE‬

‭PHYSICS‬

‭1.‬ A ‭ n‬ ‭object‬ ‭thrown‬ ‭at‬ ‭a‬ ‭certain‬ ‭angle‬ ‭to‬ ‭the‬ ‭ground‬ ‭moves‬ ‭in‬ ‭a‬ ‭curved‬ ‭path‬ ‭and‬
‭falls‬ ‭back‬ ‭to‬‭the‬‭ground.‬‭The‬‭initial‬‭and‬‭the‬‭final‬‭points‬‭of‬‭the‬‭path‬‭of‬‭the‬‭object‬
‭lie‬ ‭on‬ ‭the‬ ‭same‬‭horizontal‬‭line.‬‭What‬‭is‬‭the‬‭work‬‭done‬‭by‬‭the‬‭force‬‭of‬‭gravity‬‭on‬
‭the object ?‬
‭2.‬ ‭How are kinetic energy and momentum related?‬
‭3.‬ ‭Name the transformation of energy involved in the following cases :‬
‭a.‬ ‭When a body is thrown upwards.‬
‭b.‬ ‭When a body falls from the top of a hill.‬
‭c.‬ ‭When coal burns.‬
‭d.‬ ‭When a gas bums.‬
‭e.‬ ‭When water falls from a height.‬
‭f.‬ ‭A battery lights a bulb.‬
‭4.‬ ‭When‬‭an‬‭arrow‬‭is‬‭shot‬‭from‬‭its‬‭bow,‬‭it‬‭has‬‭kinetic‬‭energy.‬‭From‬‭where‬‭does‬‭it‬‭get‬
‭the kinetic energy?‬
‭5.‬ ‭A‬‭spring‬‭which‬‭has‬‭been‬‭kept‬‭compressed‬‭by‬‭tying‬‭its‬‭ends‬‭together‬‭is‬‭allowed‬‭to‬
‭be dissolved in an acid. What happens to the potential energy of the spring?‬
‭6.‬ ‭An‬ ‭object‬ ‭of‬ ‭mass‬ ‭m‬ ‭when‬ ‭raised‬ ‭To‬ ‭height‬ ‭h‬ ‭possesses‬ ‭a‬ ‭potential‬ ‭energy‬‭of‬
‭1200 J. Find the new potential energy :‬
‭a.‬ ‭if the same object is raised to height h/4.‬
‭b.‬ ‭if the same object is raised to height 4h.‬

‭b.‬ ‭There was a lot of empty space in an atom.‬
‭c.‬ ‭The gold foil had a high density.‬
‭d.‬ ‭The gold foil was positively charged.‬
‭3.‬ ‭According to Thomson's model, electrons are embedded in a positively charged:‬
‭a.‬ ‭Nucleus‬
‭b.‬ ‭Proton‬
‭c.‬ ‭Neutron‬
‭d.‬ ‭Electron cloud‬
‭4.‬ ‭According to Thomson's model, electrons are embedded in a positively charged:‬
‭a.‬ ‭Nucleus‬
‭b.‬ ‭Proton‬
‭c.‬ ‭Neutron‬
‭d.‬ ‭Electron cloud‬
‭5.‬ ‭In Bohr's model, electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed paths or:‬
‭a.‬ ‭Shells‬
‭b.‬ ‭Subshells‬
‭c.‬ ‭Orbitals‬
‭d.‬ ‭Energy levels‬
‭6.‬ ‭Rutherford's experiment led to the discovery that the atom is mostly:‬
‭a.‬ ‭Empty space‬
‭b.‬ ‭Filled with protons‬
‭c.‬ ‭Homogeneous throughout‬
‭d.‬ ‭Composed of electrons‬
