SECTION – B
Questions 15 and 16 are Case Study based questions and are compulsory. Attempt any 4 sub parts from
each question. Each question carries 1 mark.
15. Heat is an interesting form of energy. Not only does it sustain life, make us comfortable and help us prepare
our food, but understanding its properties is key to many fields of scientific research. For example, knowing
how heat is transferred and the degree to which different materials can exchange thermal energy governs
everything from building heaters and understanding seasonal change to sending ships into space.
This transfer occurs at the molecular level—from one body to another—when heat energy is absorbed by
a surface and causes the molecules of that surface to move more quickly.

(a) Zero (b) Infinity (c) One (d) Constant
(ii) For which of the following process, the thermal conduction is maximum?
(a) Combustion (b) Radiation (c) Convection (d) Conduction
(iii) The good absorber of heat are
(a) Non-emitter (b) Poor-emitter (c) Good-emitter (d) Highly polished
(iv) The best ideal black body is
(a) Lamp of charcoal heated to high temperature
(b) Metal coated with a black dye
(c) Glass surface coated with coal tar
(d) Hollow enclosure blackened inside and having a small hole
(v) The process of heat transfer in which heat is transferred with actual migration of medium particles
is known as
(a) Conduction (b) Convection (c) Radiation (d) Reflection
16. In physics, circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along
a circular path. It can be uniform, with constant angular rate of rotation and constant speed, or non-uniform
with a changing rate of rotation. The rotation around a fixed axis of a three-dimensional body involves
circular motion of its parts. The equations of motion describe the movement of the centre of mass of a
body.
Examples of circular motion include: an artificial satellite orbiting the Earth at a constant height, a ceiling
fan's blades rotating around a hub, a stone which is tied to a rope and is being swung in circles, a car turning
through a curve in a race track, an electron moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, and a gear
turning inside a mechanism.
(i) What could be the reason a car moving on a horizontal road gets thrown out of the road while taking a
turn
(a) Due to the reaction of the ground
(b) Due to rolling frictional force between tyre and road
(c) By the gravitational force
(d) Due to lack of sufficient centripetal force
(ii) If a particle moves with constant angular velocity in a circle, then during the motion its
(a) Momentum is conserved (c) Energy is conserved
(b) Both energy and momentum is conserved (d) None of the above is conserved
(iii) A body moves with a constant speed along a circle. Then,
(a) No work is done on it
(b) There is no acceleration produced in the body
(c) No force acts on the body
(d) The body has constant velocity.
(iv) A stone tied to a string is rotated in a circle. If the string is cut, the stone flies away from the circle
because
(a) A centrifugal force acts on the stone (c) of its inertia
(b) A centripetal force acts on the stone (d) The reaction of the centripetal force
(v) A body moves with a constant speed along a circle. Then,
(a) No work is done on it
(b) There is no acceleration produced in the body
(c) No force acts on the body
(d) The body has constant velocity
