likely to be most unpleasant? And give reason of that effects.

ii) If you get lice
iii) If you get acne.
b) Explain chronic diseases with suitable examples?

OR
Enlist the means of spread of infectious diseases. (Any four)

Q 6 a) Explain the phenomena of Free fall with a diagram.

b) Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why then, a heavy object does
not fall faster than a light object?
OR
a) The earth and the moon are attracted to each other by gravitational force. Does the earth attract the
moon with a force that is greater or smaller or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth?
Why?
b) Amit buys few grams of Gold at the poles as per the instruction of one of his friends. He hand over
the same when he meets him at the equator. Will the friend agree with the weight of gold bought? If not,
why?

Q 7 a) A mass of 5 kg is at a point ‘A’ on a table. It is moved to a point ‘B’ that the distance between point
‘A’ and ‘B’ is 5 meter. If the line joining ‘A’ and B’ is horizontal, what is the work done on the object by
the gravitational force? Explain your answer.

b) Does the transfer of energy take place when you push a huge rock with all your full force and fail to
move it? Where the energy you have spent is going?

OR

a) Ramesh says that the acceleration in an object could be zero even when several forces are acting on
it. Do you agree with her? Why?
b) An object of mass, m is moving with a constant velocity, v. How much work should be done on the
object in order to bring the object from movement to rest?

SECTION B(3*6=18)

Q 8 A customer buys a gold ornaments, he is told that it has 80% gold and the rest is copper. He is given a
bill which amounts 100% charges of gold. The customer refuses to pay the bill for 100% gold but brings it
to 90% gold amount and settles the bill.

a) Calculate the number of atoms of gold present in 1 gram of gold?

 b) Calculate the ratio of gold and copper in the ornaments?
c) Write the value shown by customer in the above statement?

Q 9 Explain Rutherford’s α-particle scattering experiment and give its observation and conclusion with
suitable diagram.

OR
Suresh could not solve a question in the group; his group mate explained him and solved his
difficulty. The question was as follows:
What information do you get from the given figure about the atomic number, mass number and valency of
the given atom ‘X’.

a) Write the answer for the above questions.

b) Name the element ‘X’.
c) Write the value of Suresh’s friend is reflected in this behavior.

Q 10 a) Give Precautions that you may take in your school to reduce the spread of infectious diseases?
b) Bacteria is a cell, antibiotics can kill these bacteria (cell), Human body is also made of cells than
explain the actions of antibiotics on our body?
c) Name the organs affected due to the following diseases-
Malaria, Jaundice, Japanese Encephalitis, Typhoid.

Q11 - a) Define AIDS? Give common methods of transmission of HIV?

b) Explain the principal of Immunization?

Q12 –A ball thrown up vertically returns to the thrower after 10 seconds. Find-
i) The velocity with which it was thrown up,
ii) The maximum height it reaches, and
iii) Its position after 7 seconds.

OR
Give the differences between the mass of an object and its weight. Any three.
Q 13 -a) What is the work done by the force of gravity on a satellite moving round the earth? Justify your
answer.
b) In each of the following a force, F is acting on an object of mass, m. The direction of
displacement is from west to east shown by the longer arrow. Observe the diagrams carefully and state
whether the work done by the force is negative, positive or zero.

SECTION C(4*2=8)

This section has 02 case-based questions (14 and 15). Each case is followed by 03 sub-questions (a, b and
c). Parts a and b are compulsory. However, an internal choice has been provided in part c.

Q 14 Kamal prepared aqueous solutions of barium chloride and sodium sulphate. He weighed them
separately and then mixed them in a beaker. A white precipitate was immediately formed. He filtered the
precipitate, dried it and then weighed it.
After reading this narration, answer the following questions –

i) Will the weight of the precipitate be the same as that of the reactants before mixing? (1mark)
ii) If not, what he should have done? (1mark)
iii) Which law of chemical combination does this experiment support? (2mark)

OR

Write the value based information associated with it?

Q 15 – An old man was standing on a bus stand carrying a very heavy luggage on his head. Saurabh was
looking at the old man and finding him uncomfortable, requested him to put down the luggage and helped
him in doing so.
i) Did the old man do any work while holding the luggage on his head?
ii) What is the equation for work done against gravity?
iii) Why did Saurabh ask the old man to put down the luggage?
