(i) c (vi) c (xi) b (xvi) a (xxi) a (xxvi) true
(ii) b (vii) a (xii) d (xvii) c (xxii) b (xxvii) true
(iii) d (viii) d (xiii) b (xviii) b (xxiii) c (xxviii) false
(iv) b (ix) a (xiv) c (xix) a (xxiv) true
(v) d (x) a (xv) a (xx) d (xxv) true

Solution: Q1.
(i) (c), light year is the distance travelled by light in 1 year. ∴ it is the unit of distance. 1 ly = 9.462 × 1015 m

R
(ii) (b), pressure = thrust/area, where thrust is the ⊥ force.
(iii) (d), momentum, � = �� has the same direction as velocity.
(iv) (b), radius and speed always remain same in uniform circular motion. Direction of motion changes continuously. ∴

PE
velocity changes continuously.
(v) (d), coefficient of friction, μ = F/R, both F and R have the dimensions of force. ∴ coefficient of friction has no dimensions.
(vi) (c), angle of repose (α) = angle of friction (θ)
(vii) (a), according to law of conservation of linear momentum, if net external force actingon the system is zero, then total
angular momentum of the system remains conserved.
(viii) (d), acc to work energy principle, work done by net force = change in KE
PA
of body i.e. W = 1/2mv2 – 1/2mu2
(ix) (a), W = FS cos θ, here, S = 0, Thus, W = 0
(x) (a), In SHM, the restoring force acting on a body is always directly proportional to the displacement and directed opposite
to it.i.e. F∝ y or F = -ky This is standard equation of SHM.
(xi) (b), In longitudinal waves particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave. Here, compressions and
rarefactions are formed during the propagation of wave.
(xii) (d), Angular momentum, L = Iw. It is analogous to P = mv in translational motion.
E

(xiii) (b), torque, τ = Iα. It is analogous to force, F = ma in translational motion.

(xiv) (c), centre of mass is the point where the whole mass of the body is supposed to be concentrated and which behaves as
if all the external force acting on the body act only at this point.

(xv) (a), Time period of an artificial satellite is given by T = 2πr/v = =2π ��
= 2π ��2
=� �
��
�

Therefore, time period is independent of the mass of satellite.

(xvi) (a), gravitation force is a conservative and attractive force. Conservative nature means the work done by of against
gravitational force in moving the body from one point to another is independent of the path between these two points or the
work done against gravitational force in moving the body over a closed path will always be zero.
M

(xvii) (c), Perfect gas equation is PV = nRT and applicable for only ideal gases at all the conditions of pressures and
temperatures.
(xviii) (b), Geo-stationary satellites always move parallel to equatorial plane of earth and with same angular speed as the earth.
SA

∴ their time period will also be the same as that of earth rotaion about its own axis i.e. 24 hr.
(xix) (a), KE and PE of a body in SHM are given as EK = ½mω2a2cos2ωt = ½ mω2(a2 – y2)
= ½ k(a2 – y2) and EP = ½mω2a2sin2ωt = ½ mω2y2 = ½ ky2
At mean position y = 0, ∴ EP = 0 and at extreme position y = a, ∴ EK = 0
(xx) (d), According to pascal law, pressure change at
one place is equally transmitted to all the other
places inside the fluid.
∴ P1 = P2
f/a = F/A
F = f A/a
Since, A >> a
∴ F >> f
It means a small force applied at the narrow end
produces a large force at the wider end which is
used to lift a heavy load like a car.
(xxi) (a), viscous force is given by F = ηAdv/dx
Coefficient of viscosity η is given as η = Fdx/Adv
 SI units of η will be Nm/m2ms-1 = Nsm-2 which is called poiseuille(Pl).
Thus, 1 Pl = 1 Nsm-2
In CGS, units of η will be dynscm-2 which is called poise.
Thus, 1 Poise = 1 dyn scm-2
1 Pl = 1 Ns/m2 = 105 dyn s/104cm2 = 10 dyn s/cm2 = 10 poise
Thus 1 pl is also called decapoise (dP).
(xxii) (b), the collision between gas molecules in an ideal gas are perfectly elastic.
(xxiii) (c), It is called isochoric process.
In adiabatic process, no heat enters or leaves the system, dQ = 0
In isothermal process, temperature of system remains constant, dT = 0
In isochoric process, volume of system remains constant, dV = 0
In isobaric process, pressure of system remains constant, dP = 0
(xxiv) True, more are the no. of SFs, more accurate will be the measurement.
(xxv) True, cross product of two vectors is given as � × � = AB sin θ�

R
When vectors are parallel, θ = 0o or 180o, Now sin 0o = sin 180o = 0
∴� × � = AB sin 0o or 180o� = 0
(xxvi) True, internal energy = total KE + total PE, i.e. U = EK + EP, In case of an ideal gas, there is no attraction or repulsion

PE
between the molecules. Therefore PE of the molecules will be zero. Thus for an ideal gas, internal energy will be the the
kinetic energy only which depends only on the temperature of the gas. Thus U = EK
(xxvii) True, as clear, density of water first
increases up to 4oC and then starts decreasing again. Thus,
density of water is max at 4oC.
(xxviii) False, this is the statement of Pascal’s law.

Net force acting on the block of ice is only the force of friction.
