SECTION – A
MCQ/Assertion Reason Based
(16 Questions of 1 Mark each)
1. Among the four graphs, there is only one graph for
which average velocity over the time interval (0,
T) can vanish for a suitably chosen T. Which one
is it?
(A) KE at P = KE at B
(A) (B) height at P = height at A
(C) total energy at P = total energy at A
(D) time of travel from A to B = time of travel
from B to P
(B)
4. The displacement of a particle is given by
x = (t – 2)2 where x is in meters and t in seconds.
The distance covered by the particle in first 4
seconds is
(A) 4 m (B) 8 m
(C) (C) 12 m (D) 16 m
[3]
(C) Area and gravitational potential
(D) Impulse and pressure
18. The earth-moon distance is about 60 earth radius. 23. A graph of potential energy V (x) versus x is
What will be the diameter of the earth shown in Figure. A particle of energy E0 is
(approximately in degrees) as seen from the executing motion in it. Draw graph of velocity and
moon? kinetic energy versus x for one complete cycle
AFA.

28. A ball of mass m, moving with a speed 2v0,
collides inelastically (e > 0) with an identical ball
at rest. Show that
(i) For head-on collisions, both the balls move
forward.
(ii) For a general collision, the angle between the
two velocities of scattered balls is less than
90°.
SECTION – D
Case Study Based Questions
25. How many astronomical units (A.U.) make 1 (2 Questions of 4 Marks each)
parsec? 29. A man wants to reach from A to the opposite

path in the square outside the sand?
(b) Mars has approximately half of the earth’s
diameter. When it is closest to the earth it is
at about 1/2 A.U. from the earth. Calculate
what size it will appear when seen through
the same telescope.

Long Answer Type questions
(3 Questions of 5 Marks each)
31. When a body slides down from rest along a
smooth inclined plane making an angle of 45°
with the horizontal, it takes time T to reach the
bottom. When the same body slides down from
rest along a rough inclined plane making the same
angle and through the same distance, it is seen to
take time pT, where p is some number greater than
1. Calculate the coefficient of friction between the
body and the rough plane.
