UNIT TEST 2 (2021-22)

CLASS 11 (PHYSICS)
TIME: 2 HOUR MAX. MARKS:35
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. All questions are compulsory. There are 12 questions in all.
2. This question paper has three sections: Section A, Section B, and Section C.
3. Section A contains three questions of two marks each, Section B contains eight questions
of three marks each, Section C contains one case study-based question of five marks.
4. There is no overall choice. However, an internal choice has been provided in one ques-
tion of two marks and two questions of three marks. You have to attempt only one of the
choices in such questions.

SECTION A
1. The S.H.M. of a particle is given by the equation
y = 5 sin t + 5 cos t.Find its amplitude.

2. In rising from the bottom of a lake to the top, the temperature of an air bubble remains
unchanged, but its diameter gets doubled. What is the depth of the lake ? Given h is the
barometric height in metres of mercury of relative density  at the surface of the lake.
OR
What do you understand by terminal velocity. Find the relation for it.

3. The P-V diagram for a cyclic process is a triangle ABC drawn in order. The co-ordinates
of A, B, C are (4, 1), (2, 4) and (2, 1). The co-ordinates are in the order (P, V) Pressure is
in Nm–2 and volume is in litre. Calculate work done during the process from A to B, B to
C and C to A. Also calculate work done in the complete cycle.

SECTION B

tube

OR

6. State and prove Bernoulli’s theorem.

7. Derive a relation between  & Where  & are the temperature coefficient of linear ,
superficial & cubical expansion respectively.

it through 10 cm beyond its unstretched length. Calculate (a) value of k and (b) the extra
work required to stretch it through additional 10 cm.

10. Prove that velocity of efflux of an ideal liquid through an orifice is equal to the
velocity attained by a freely falling body from the surface of the liquid to the
orifice. Also find the horizontal range in terms of height. When is this range maximum?
