READ THE FOLLOWING AND ANSWER QUESTIONS.

CASE 1: A body starts from rest and after sometime, it moves uniformly
along a circular path. The body then undergoes retardation before coming
to rest finally.

a) U=0 b) v=0 c) a=0 d) none of these.
50.What is constant uniform circular motion?
a) Velocity is constant b) speed is constant
b) Acceleration is constant d) none of these.

51.Body coming to rest finally, what is implied by these?

a) U=0 b) v=0 c) a=0 d) none of these.

52.Retardation is
a) Uniform acceleration b) non-uniform acceleration
b) Negative acceleration d) none of these.

CASE 2: A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more

substances. You come across various types of solutions in your daily
life. Lemonade,
Soda, Water, etc.., are all examples of solutions.
Usually, we think of a solution as a liquid that contains either a solid,
liquid or a gas dissolved in it. But we can also have solid solutions
(alloys) and gaseous solutions (air).
In a solution, there is homogeneity at the particle level. For example,
lemonade tastes the same throughout. This shows that particles of
sugar or salt are evenly distributed in the solution.
There are two main components of a solution that are solvent and
solute. The component (present in larger amount) of solution that
dissolves the other component in it is called solvent.
The component (present in lesser quantity) of solution that is dissolved
in the solvent is called the solute.

53. In lemonade, solvent is

(A) Sugar (B) salt (C) water (D) lemon juice

54. Which of the following is a solution?

(A) Carbon dioxide
(B) Alloys
(C) Blood
(D) Chalk powder in water

55. Which of the following is false about solution?

(A) Solution can be solid
(B) The constituents of solution are distributed uniformly
(C) The main components of solutions are in equal quantity
(D) None of the above

56. Sugar in water represents

(A) Sugar is solvent
(B) Water is solvent
(C) Sugar is in large amount
(D) The solution is heterogeneous

CASE 3: Sunil while playing football with his friends got injured
suddenly. His friends took him to the hospital and the doctor said that
he was suffering from a sprain and advised bed rest. Every afternoon,
his friends visited him to enquire about his health.

57. During a sprain, which type of tissue are stressed?

a) tendon b) ligament c) nerves d) connective.

58. Dislocation of the bone due to

a) damage of nervous tissue
b) breakage of ligaments

a) connective tissue
b) epithelial tissue
c) muscle tissue
d) nervous tissue.
