1. An athlete pushes the earth backward with his hands and feet, just before the race starts, to
increase
(1) his inertia (2) his time of impact (3) his momentum (4) the earth's reaction
2. A body moving with an initial velocity of 5 m/s accelerates at 2 m/s2. Its velocity after 10 seconds
will be
(1) 5 m/s (2) 20 m/s (3) 22.5 m/s (4) 25 m/s
3. Two bodies, one of mass 1 g and the other of mass 1 kg, are dropped from the same height in
vacuum. The ratio of the time intervals in which the two bodies hit the ground is
(1) 1 : 1 (2) 1 : 1000 (3) 1000 : 1 (4) 1 : 100
4. On beating a carpet, dust particles come out of it due to
(1) Inertia of rest (2) Inertia of motion
(3) Inertia of direction (4) Action and reaction
5. Assertion : The value of ‘g’ on earth is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator.
Reason : The shape of the earth is not perfectly spherical. It is flatenned slightly at the poles and
bulged at the equator.
(1) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is correct explanation of the assertion.
(2) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is not correct explanation of the assertion.
(3) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(4) Assertion is false but reason is true.
6. A circular track has a circumference of 1570 m with AB as one of its diameter. A scooterist
moves from A to B along the circular path with a uniform speed of 5 m/s. Find the distance
covered by the scooterist.

(a) Find the displacement covered by the object during the first four seconds of its journey.
(b) How long was it moving with zero acceleration?
(c) Does it has negative acceleration any where during its journey ?
OR
(a) Can a body moving in uniform circular motion be in equilibrium? Support your answer with
reason.

(b) A stationary cracker of mass 100 g explodes into two pieces of equal masses. If one piece
moves with a velocity of 8 m/s, what is the velocity of the other piece?
11. (a) Where will you weigh more — at poles or at the equator? Why?

14. A student was asked to mix the milk with water and stir well. The student observed that
(1) a transparent solution is formed. (2) a translucent mixture is formed.
(3) milk settles down at the bottom. (4) milk floats on the surface.
15. A student made a list of following four precautions for the experiment on determination of
melting point of ice. The incorrect precaution is
(1) the bulb of the thermometer should be kept surrounded with crushed ice.
(2) ice should be stirred regularly.
(3) a small quantity of common salt should be added to the crushed ice to avoid quick melting.
(4) the temperature should be recorded keeping the eye in the level of mercury.
16. The colour of the pure ammonium chloride powder is
(1) White (2) Blue (3) Green (4) Red
