18. Read the following passage and answer the questions:

Rahul observed that when he poured some acetone on his palm, it disappeared
quickly and his palm felt cold. His teacher explained that this happens due to
evaporation, which requires latent heat from the surroundings
i) Why did Rahul’s palm feel cold? (1m)
ii) Name the phenomenon responsible for the disappearance of acetone. (1m)
iii) A) What is the role of latent heat in this process? (2m)
(OR)
B) Rahul observed that when he poured some acetone on his palm, it disappeared
quickly and his palm felt cold. Explain why this happens, referring to the concept
of latent heat.
19. The distance travelled by a moving body is the actual length of the path covered by
it, irrespective of the direction in which the body travels. It is a scalar quantity. Its
SI unit is meter. Speed of an object is the distance covered per unit time, speed is
a scalar quantity. The SI unit of speed is meter per second (m/s). The distance
travelled by an object is either positive or zero, so the speed may be positive or zero
but never negative.
Distance travelled by a train and time taken by it is shown in the following table:

Time Distance(in Km)

10:00am 0
10:30am 25
10:40am 28
11:00am 40
11:15am 42
11:30am 50

i) Draw the distance-time graph from the values given in the above table?
ii) Based on the tabular data calculate the average speed of the train.
iii) A) At what distance does the train slow down?
(OR)
B) Find the speed of train between 10:40am to 11:00 am.
