11. Assertion: The rotation of the earth about its axis is a S.H.M.
Reason : The earth completes each rotation about its axis in 24 hours while orbiting around earth.
12. Assertion : Specific heat of a gas at constant pressure is greater than its specific heat at constant volume.
Reason : This is because internal energy of ideal gas depends only on temperature of gas.
13. Assertion : In an isothermal process, whole of heat energy supplied to the body is converted into work.
Reason : according to first law of thermodynamics ∆Q = ∆U + P∆V
14. Assertion : Aeroplanes are made to run on the runway before take off, so that they acquire the necessary
lift.
Reason : According to Bernoulli’s theorem as velocity increases pressure decreases and vice versa.

SECTION – B
Answer the following case based questions :

15. A change in pressure and volume of a gas when no heat is allowed to enter into or escape from the
gas is called an adiabatic change. Obviously, temperature of a gas also change in adiabatic process.
When a gas in an enclosure is compressed suddenly , some heat is produced. If this heat is nor
allowed to expand, suddenly, some of the heat energy is spent in increasing the volume of the gas. If
this heat is not compressed from the surroundings, the temperature of the gas would fall.

1. Write two essential conditions for a perfect adiabatic change.

2. Give one example of nearly perfect adiabatic change.
3. Write the equation of adiabatic change for a perfect gas .
4. What do you understand by specific heat . (4)

16. For a steady flow of an incompressible and non – viscous fluid Bernoulli’s principle states the sum
of the pressure (P), kinetic energy per unit volume (K) and potential energy per unit volume (U)
remain constant throughout the flow.

2. Name the three different types of energies possessed by an incompressible fluid, in streamline
flow.
3. Why two ships moving in parallel directions close to each other get attracted ?
4. Does it matter if one uses guage pressure instead of absolute pressure in applying Bernoulli’s
equation ? (4)

23. It is required to find the volume of a rectangular block. A vernier calliper is used to measure the length ,
width and height of the block. The measured values are found to be 1.37 cm, 4.11 cm and 2.56 cm,
respectively. Calculate correctly , the volume of the block. (2)
