Solutions

S1.Ans. (c)
Sol. Conservation of momentum in a collision between particles is dependent on both Newton’s second law of motion and Newton’s third law of motion.

S2.Ans. (a)
Sol. In SI units, thermal conductivity is measured in watts per meter kelvin (W/(m. K)).

S3.Ans. (c)
Sol. Conservation of momentum in a collision between particles is dependent on both Newton’s second law of motion and Newton’s third law of motion.

S4.Ans. (b)
Sol. As the swing rises, its kinetic energy changes to potential energy; as with height potential energy P.E. = mgh increases. And according to law of conservation of energy total energy E = K.E + P. E constant.

S5.Ans. (c)
Sol. As the body moves with a constant speed v along a straight line or rectilinear path hence body undergoes a uniform velocity. Here direction of the moving body is unchanged.

S6.Ans. (a)
Sol. The centripetal acceleration of the object is smaller for a gentle curve (i.e., curve of larger radius) than that for a sharp curve (i.e., curve of smaller radius). The centripetal acceleration is greater for the sharp curve than for the gentle curve. Centripetal Acceleration, ac = v2/r.

S7.Ans. (d)
Sol. Nitrochloroform is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial which is used as a fungicide, herbicide, insecticide and nematicide. It is also known as Chloropicrin.

S8.Ans. (a)
Sol. Bullet-proof windows are constructed using several layers of polycarbonate and/or laminated glass.

S9.Ans. (a)
Sol. Collar cells occurs in sponges and located at the anterior end of each choanocyte.

S10.Ans. (d)
Sol. Ice is less dense in comparison to liquid water. Actually when water freezes, water (H2O) molecules form a crystalline structure by Hydrogen bonds. These bonds cause molecules to push apart lowering the density of water (H2O).
