(b) inversely proportional to the displacement and is directed towards the mean position
(c) directly proportional to the displacement and is directed towards the mean position
(d) inversely proportional to the displacement and is directed away from the mean position
Q7. When a ball drops onto the floor it bounces. Why does it bounce?
(a) The floor heats up on impact
(b) The floor exerts a force on the ball during the impact
(c) The floor is perfectly rigid
Q8. It is difficult to cut things with a blunt knife because
(a) the pressure exerted by knife for a given force increase with increase in bluntness
(b) a sharp edge decreases the pressure exerted by knife for a given force
(c) a blunt knife decreases the pressure for a given force
(d) a blunt knife decreases the area of intersection

(a) constant proportions
(b) conservation of mass-energy
(c) multiple proportions
(d) conservation of momentum
Q10. The source of the sun’s energy is the process of
(a) photoelectric emission
(b) nuclear fission
(c) nuclear fusion
(d) thermionic emission
S1. Ans. (c)
S2. Ans. (c)
Sol.Rocket works on the principle of conservation of linear momentum.
S3. Ans (c)
Sol.Velocity of raindrop increases until it reaches the terminal velocity.
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol.
S5.Ans (d)
Sol.When a athlete jumps from the spring board, he curls his body by rolling his arms and legs in. By doing so, he decreases moment of inertial of his body and hence angular speed increases to conserve the angular momentum, as I₁ w₁ = I₂ = constant.
S6. Ans. (c)
Sol.The restoring force actin particle is always proportional to the displacement of the particle from the equilibrium position and is always directed towards the equilibrium position.
S7. Ans. (b)
Sol.When a ball drops on to the floor then floor exerts a force for small time which is equal to change in momentum of the ball.
S8. Ans. (c)
Sol.Pressure = force/area
Bluntness of knife increases area, hence decreases the pressure for a given force.
S9. Ans. (b)
Sol.Creation of something from nothing is against the law of conservation of mass energy.
S10.Ans. (c)
