1) Question Explanation:
Comparing the total distance covered by a projectile in a gravitational field versus a gravity-
free environment over the same duration.
Concept:
Motion under Gravity vs. Uniform Motion.
Solution:
When a body is projected vertically up with speed u, gravity causes it to decelerate to zero and
then accelerate back down. In a gravity-free environment, the same body would maintain its
initial speed u indefinitely (Newton's First Law).

Motion with Gravity:

Time of flight (T):

Maximum height reached (H):

Total distance covered (D): The body goes up to distance H and comes down distance H.

Substitute u in terms of T ( ):

Motion without Gravity:

If there is no gravity (g = 0), there is no acceleration. The body moves with a constant velocity
u for the same time T.

Distance covered (D'):

Substitute into the equation:

Compare the Distances:

Explain Question: which of the following observations/inferences led to the rejection of

Thomson's "Plum Pudding" model
Concept: Rutherford model
Solution:
(A) & (B): These were the primary observations. Undeflected particles proved atoms are
mostly empty space; 180° deflections proved a dense, positive center.
(C): This was the direct inference that contradicted Thomson's model of uniform positive
charge.
(D): Incorrect. The radius of the nucleus is about 10–5 times the radius of the atom (10–15 m vs
10–10 m). Therefore, the volume ratio is (10–5)3 = 10–15.
