iii. (A) COOH

iv. (A) Atomic number

v. (C) Tin

(B) Answer the following: [5]

i. CaCO3 (Calcium carbonate)

ii. Free fall is the motion of an object under the influence of gravitational force alone.

iii. The hydrocarbon structure CH3-CH3 is ethane.

iv. Convex lenses are used in magnifying glasses.

v. PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle).

Q2. (A) Give scientific reasons (any two): [4]

i. Lemon or tamarind contains acids that react with the basic copper oxide layer, cleaning the vessels.

i. Escape velocity on the moon:

Escape velocity (v) = sqrt(2GM/R)

= sqrt(2 * 6.67 x 10^-11 * 7.34 x 10^22 / 1.74 x 10^6)

= approximately 2.38 km/s

ii. Differences between mass and weight:

- Mass is the amount of matter in an object (kg); weight is the force due to gravity (N).

- Mass is constant; weight varies with gravity.

iii. Electroplating is the process of depositing a layer of metal on a conductive surface using electricity. Diagram: [Explain

anode and cathode in electrolyte].

iv. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another due to change in speed.

Q3. Answer the following questions (any five): [15]

i. Centripetal force: It is the force acting towards the center of a circular path. Example: Earth orbiting the sun.

ii. Factors affecting reaction rate:

- Temperature

- Concentration

- Catalyst

iii. Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation: Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force

proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

iv. Periodic Table Classification:

- Groups: Vertical columns with similar chemical properties.

- Periods: Horizontal rows showing increasing atomic number.

v. Properties of ionic compounds:

- High melting and boiling points.

- Conduct electricity in molten or dissolved states.

- Generally soluble in water.

vi. Kepler's Laws:

- Planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus.

- Equal areas are swept in equal intervals of time.

- The square of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of the mean distance.

Q4. Solve the following (any one): [5]

i. Convex Lens Diagram: [Draw a ray diagram showing refraction and focal point]. Convex lenses converge light rays to

a focal point.

ii. Satellite Launch Vehicle:

Function: It launches satellites into orbit.

Construction: Includes stages with fuel, payload, and guidance systems.
