SECTION - E

Q.no. 37 to 39 are case - based/data -based questions with 2 to 3 short sub - parts. Internal
Choice is provided in one of these sub-parts.
37. The third law of motion states that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second
object instantaneously exerts a force back on the first. These two forces are always equal in magnitude
but opposite in direction. These forces act on different objects and never on the same object. It is
important to note that even though the action and reaction forces are always equal in magnitude;
these forces may not produce accelerations of equal magnitudes, this is because each force acts on a
different object that may have a different mass. The two opposing forces are also known as action and
reaction forces. Answer the following questions.
(i) Action reaction forces are always
(a) Equal and in same direction (b) Equal and in opposite direction
(c) Unequal and in same direction (d) None of the above
(ii) Which of the following is correct about action reaction forces?
(a) They act on different objects (b) They are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
(c) Both forces acted on different object simultaneously d) All the above
(iii) State third law of motion (iv) Give 2 examples of third law of motion
(Or)

(v) Even though the action and reaction forces are always equal in magnitude; these forces may not
produce accelerations of equal magnitudes. Give your justification on this statement

38. Plastids are the major cell organelle in plants. On the basis of pigments present in plastic they are
divided into two types. The colourless leucoplast and the pigmented chromoplast. The colourless
leucoplast store starch oil and protein granules where as the pigmented chromoplast have different
colours and can be several types. The most important one or those containing the pigment chlorophyll
known as the chloroplast which is responsible for the preparation of food by photosynthesis. Other
chromoplast contain non green pigments which are responsible for the characteristic colour of fruit
and flowers.
i) Which plastid is giving pigment
A) leucoplast B) protoplast C) chromoplast D) cytoplasm
ii) how many types of plastids are present
A) 1 B) 2. C)3 D)4
iii) which plastid stores the starch oil and protein granules
A) chromoplast B) chlorophyll C)leucoplast D) nucleus
iv) which pigment is helping in photosynthesis process
A) Xanthophyll B) anthocynanin C) caretinoid D) chlorophyll
The colour of a fruits and flowers are given by
A) plastid B) mitochondria C) Centriole D) ribosome

39. Do we always need to heat or change pressure for changing the state of matter? Can you quote
some examples from everyday life where change of state from liquid to vapour takes place without the
liquid reaching the boiling point? In the case of liquids, a small fraction of particles at the surface,
having higher kinetic energy, is able to break away from the forces of attraction of other particles and
gets converted into vapour. This phenomenon of change of a liquid into vapors at any temperature
below its boiling point is called evaporation.

i) Evaporation of liquid takes place at

a) Boiling point b) Above boiling point c) Below boiling point d) None of these
ii) Evaporation takes place at surface of liquid because
a) They are heavy as compare to other particles
b) They have sufficient kinetic energy to break the force
c) They are light weight as compare to other particles d) None of these
iii.) During evaporation particles of liquid change into vapour
a.) From the surface b.) From the bottom c.) From all over the liquid d.) None of these
iv.) Evaporation is surface phenomenon. True or false
a.) True b.) False c.) None of these (d) sometimes true some time false
(Or)
v.) The rate of evaporation increases with
a) Increase in wind speed b) Decrease in wind speed
c) Does not have any effect from wind speed d) None of these
