  • #4-d-i
    Why is a nuclear fusion reaction called a thermo nuclear reaction?
  • #4-d-ii
    Complete the reaction :

    [2]

    3 He2 + 2H1→ 4He2 +.......+Energy
  • #4-e
    State two ways to increase the speed of rotation of a DC motor.

  • #5-a
    A body of mass 10 kg is kept at a height of 5 m. It is allowed to fall and reach the ground.
  • #5-a-i
    What is the total mechanical energy possessed by the body at the height of 2 m assuming it is a frictionless medium?
    Ans : The total mechanical energy is the total potential energy it possesses before its fall.

    E = mgh = 10 × 10 × 5 = 500 J

    It is equal to the maximum potential energy E = mgh = 10 × 10 × 5 = 500 J.


  • #5-a-ii
    What is the kinetic energy possessed by the body just before hitting the ground? Take

    g= 10 m s-2.

  • #5-b
    A uniform metre scale is in equilibrium as shown in the diagram :


  • #5-b-i
    Calculate the weight of the metre scale.
    Ans : The weight of the metre scale acts at its centre of gravity i.e., at 50 cm mark.

    By the concept of moments, we have

    40 × (30 - 5 ) = W × (50 - 30)

    or W = (40 × 25)/ 20 = 50 gf
  • #5-b-ii
    Which of the following options is correct to keep the ruler in equilibrium when 40 gf wt is shifted to 0 cm mark?

    F is shifted towards 0 cm or

    F is shifted towards 100 cm.

    [3]
    Ans : F is shifted towards 0 cm.


  • #5-c
    The diagram below shows a pulley arrangement :


  • #5-c-i
    Copy the diagram and mark the direction of tension on each strand of the string.
    Ans : The direction of tension is as marked.

    ``\frac { 2x }{ 2 }`` = 2.

    The distance travelled by load is half the distance moved by effort = ``\frac { x }{ 2 }``

    (iii) T = E.

    (iv) The distance travelled by load is half the distance moved by effort = ``\frac { x }{ 2 }`` .


  • #5-c-ii
    What is the velocity ratio of the arrangement?
  • #5-c-iii
    If the tension acting on the string is T, then what is the relationship between T and effort E?
  • #5-c-iv
    If the free end of the string moves through a distance x, find the distance by which the

    load is raised.
