PHYSICS

11) Mass is a measure of an object. Object Q has more mass, so it has more inertia than object
P.

12) As we increase the pull at P gradually, the applied force will reach to upper string through
the stone. Thus, it will come in motion and string will break above the stone.

13) Given identical ball, m1 = m2 = m

From 3rd equation of motion
v2 = u2 + 2gs
Similarly,

Let the momentum of first body be P1 and second body be P2.

14)

Mass (m) = 5 kg, u = 20 m/s, v = 0.20 m/s

Initial momentum (P1) = mu = 5 × 20 = 100 kg m/s
Final momentum (P2) = mv = 5 × (0.20) = 1 kg m/s
The momentum decreases by 100 kg m/s – 1 kg m/s = 99 kg m/s

15) First calculate the area of graph that represents impulse (ΔP or F × t)
Area of graph = ΔP = (Area of trapezium)

ΔP = × (5 + 10) × 10

or m(v – u) = × 15 × 10

or 10 × (v – u) = × 15 × 10
or (v – u) = 7.5 m/s
or Change in velocity = 7.5 m/s

16)

P = mv = 9.1 × 10–31× 2 × 107 = 1.82 × 10–23 N-s

17) The escaping water exerts an equal and opposite force on the hose. So a fire fighter feels
the hose pushing backwards.

18) Initial momentum or momentum before explosion Pi = Mv

From figure (2) total momentum of

system after explosion
Pf = mu + (M – m)v'
Pf = 0 + (M – m)v'
Pf = (M – m)v'
According to conservation of momentum
Pf = Pi
(M – m)v' = Mv

Given :

Mass of bullet, mb = 30g =

20)

Mass of rocket(m) = 650 kg; Initial velocity(u) = 440 m/s; Final velocity (v) = 520m / s
Thrust of the engine = 1200 N

t = 43.3 sec

21)

When an object is moving along a circular path, its velocity is tangential to the circular path
hence, its momentum is also tangential to the circular path. According to Newton's first law of
motion, every object continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line,
unless it is compelled to change that state by force impressed upon it.

22)

Two people X and Y of mass 40 Kg each, try to pull each other with a rope held tightly between
them while standing on frictionless ice. Then Force acting on X = Force acting on Y and equal
acceleration is produced in both X and Y.

23)

Mass of magnet A = 20g = 0.02kg

Mass of magnet B = 12g = 0.012kg
Initial speed of both magnet = 0
Final speed of magnet A = 3m / s
According to conservation of momentum,
0.02 × 0 + 0.012 × 0 = 0.02 × 3 + 0.012v
 0 = 0.06 + 0.012v
v = 5 m/s

24)

Net force acting on the block = 35N – 25N = 10N

Since the box remains stationary on the floor,
the force of friction acting on the box = 10 N

25)

From figure both the bodies are touching each other there is a pair of action-reaction force
between them at place of their contact. These forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in
direction.

For mass m1, F – f = m1a ....(1)

For mass m2, f = m2a ....(2)
Adding equation (1) and (2), gives :
(F – f) + f = m1a + m2a

F = (m1 + m2)a or
from (2) we have, f = m2a
(reaction offered m2 upon m1)

Let, the angles of a quadrilateral are 4x, 9x, 10x and 13x.
As per angle sum property, we know:
4x + 9x + 10x + 13x = 360°
36x = 360°
x = 10°
Hence, angles are
4x = 4 (10°) = 40°
9x = 9 (10°) = 90°
10x = 10 (10°) = 100°
13x = 13 (10°) = 130°

ABCD is a rhombus, AC = 12 cm, BD = 6 cm

We have to find the sides of the rhombus
In triangle AOB,
AO = 6 cm (Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other)
BO = 3 cm
AOB is a right triangle right-angled at O (Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each
other)
So,
AB2 = AO2 + BO2 (By Pythagoras theorem)
2 2 2
AB = 6 + 3
AB2 = 36 + 9
AB2 = 45
AB = cm
In a rhombus, all sides are equal Thus, each side of the rhombus is cm.

The diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other. So,

OA = OB
⇒ ∠OBA = ∠OAB = 62° (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
Since the measure of each angle of rectangle is 90°
⇒ ∠ABC = 90°

SOCIAL SCIENCE

81) Some Russian socialists felt that the Russian peasant custom of dividing land periodically
made them natural socialists. So peasants, not workers, would be the main force of the
revolution, and Russia could become socialist more quickly than other countries. Socialists
were active in the countryside through the late nineteenth century. They formed the Socialist
Revolutionary Party in 1900.

82) The majority religion was Russian Orthodox Christianity – which had grown out of the
Greek Orthodox Church – but the empire also included Catholics, Protestants, Muslims and
Buddhists.

83) In 1928, Party members toured the grain-producing areas, supervising enforced grain
collections, and raiding ‘kulaks’ – the name for well to-do peasants.

84) The period of the early Planned Economy was linked to the disasters of the collectivisation
of agriculture. By 1927- 1928, the towns in Soviet Russia were facing an acute problem of
grain supplies. The government fixed prices at which grain must be sold, but the peasants
refused to sell their grain to government buyers at these prices. Stalin, who headed the party
after the death of Lenin, introduced firm emergency measures. He believed that rich peasants
and traders in the countryside were holding stocks in the hope of higher prices. Speculation
had to be stopped and supplies confiscated.

85) Finally, at the midnight of 26 April 1994, the new national flag of the Republic of South
Africa was unfurled marking the newly born democracy in the world.

86) SOCIALIST - Wealth is generated socially and should be shared equally by society.
Government should regulate the ownership of land and industry to reduce socio-economic
inequalities.

87) Universal Adult Franchise, Right to Freedom for all and Protection of Rights of Minorities ,
all these features were accepted by all the Indian leaders, much before they sat down to make
the Constitution.
 88) As far back as in 1928, Motilal Nehru and eight other Congress leaders drafted a
constitution for India. In 1931, the resolution at the Karachi session of the Indian National
Congress dwelt on how independent India’s constitution should look like.

89) The Constituent Assembly was the assembly of people’s representatives that write a
constitution for a country.

90) SECULAR - Citizens have complete freedom to follow any religion. But there is no official
religion. Government treats all religious beliefs and practices with equal respect.

ENGLISH

91)

The phrase "were not attending" is in the past continuous tense, which is appropriate here to
describe an ongoing action in the past. The structure is:
Subject + was/were + not + present participle

92)

In reported speech, when the reporting verb is in the past tense ("said"), the present
continuous tense often changes to the past continuous tense. The structure is:
Reporting verb (past) + subject + would + base verb

93)

The modal verb "can" is used to express present ability.

94)

The modal verb "must" is used to express a strong deduction or certainty based on evidence.

95)

The modal verb "couldn't" is the past tense of "can't" and is used to express past inability.

96)

The term "highbrow" refers to someone with intellectual or cultured tastes, often associated
with the arts or academia.

97)

A "manoeuvre" (or "maneuver" in American English) refers to a planned and controlled

movement or exercise, especially in a military context involving troops and equipment.
98)

The idiom "carrot and stick" refers to a strategy that combines both rewards ("carrot") and
punishments ("stick") to induce cooperation or compliance.

99)

The phrase "throw down the gauntlet" originates from medieval times when a knight would
throw down his gauntlet (a type of glove) as a challenge to a duel. Figuratively, it means to
issue a challenge.

100)

In the sentence "I had a brush with death when I was in that car accident," the phrase
indicates that the speaker was involved in a car accident where they narrowly escaped death.
This aligns with the meaning of having a slight encounter with death.
