11. Assertion: Mass is a measure of inertia of the body in linear motion. 1

Reason : Greater the mass, greater is the force required to change its state of rest or of uniform
motion.

Reason : No net force is needed to move an object with constant velocity

 Section-B

Q. No 15-16 contain four sub-parts each. You are expected to answer all subparts in
these questions.
15. Read the following passage and answer the question from 15(i) to 15(iv) 4
Force is an external cause in the form of push or pull, which produces or tries to produce
motion in a body at rest, or stops/tries to stop a moving body or changes/tries to change the
direction of motion of the body. The inherent property, with which a body resists any change
in its state of motion is called inertia. Heavier the body, the inertia is more and lighter the
body, lesser the inertia. Law of inertia states that a body has the inability to change its state of
rest or uniform motion (i.e., a motion with constant velocity) or direction of motion by itself.
(i) Force depends on
(a) change in momentum
(b) how fast the change in momentum is brought about
(c) Both (a) & (b)
(d) None of these

(ii) Impulse equals

(a) rate of change of momentum
(b) change in momentum
(c) momentum multiplied by time
(d) rate of change of force

(iii) Which motion does not require force to maintain it ?

(a) Uniform circular motion
(b) Elliptical motion
(c) Uniform straight line motion
(d) Projectile motion

(iv) A ball is travelling with uniform translatory motion. This means that
(a) it is at rest.
(b) the path can be a straight line or circular and the ball travels with uniform speed.
(c) all parts of the ball have the same velocity (magnitude and direction) and the velocity is
constant.
(d) the centre of the ball moves with constant velocity and the ball spins about its centre
uniformly.

16. When a force acts on an object and the object actually moves in the direction of force, then the 4
work is said to be done by the force. Work done by the force is equal to the product of the
force and the displacement of the object in the direction of force. If under a constant force F
the object displaced through a distance s, then work done by the force

W = F * s = F s cos θ

where θ is the smaller angle between F and s.

3
 (i) No work is done if
(a) displacement is zero
(b) force is zero
(c) force and displacement are mutually perpendicular
(d) All of these

(ii) When the force retards the motion of body, the work done is
(a) zero
(b) negative
(c) positive
(d) Positive or negative depending upon the magnitude of force and displacement

(iii) According to work-energy theorem, the work done by the net force on a particle is equal
to the change in its
(a) kinetic energy
(b) potential energy
(c) linear momentum
(d) angular momentum

(iv) A man pushes a wall and fails to displace it, he does

(a) negative work
(b) positive but not maximum work
(c) no work at all
(d) maximum positive work

26. (a) The blood pressure in human is greater at the feet than at the brain. Why? 3
