    Section : I
    (Attempt all question from this section)
  • #1
  • #1-a [2]
    If .m. is the mass of the body. .v. its velocity and .p. the
    momentum then write a relationship between change in
    momentum , mass and velocity of the body when **
    Ans : Answer has not given due to out of present syllabus.
  • #1-a-i
    v is almost equal to c, the velocity of light.
  • #1-a-ii
    v is very, very less as compared to c, the velocity of
    light.
  • #1-b [2]
  • #1-b-i
    With reference to the terms mechanical advantage,
    velocity ratio and efficiency of a machine, name the
    term that will not change for a machine of a given
    design.
    Ans : Velocity Ratio.
  • #1-b-ii
    Define the term stated by you in part (i).
    Ans : Velocity Ratio is the ratio of velocity of effort to the velocity of load.
  • #1-c [2]
    What is the SI unit of energy? How is the electron volt (eV) related
    to it?
    Ans : Joule (J).
    1 eV = 1.6 x 10-19 J
  • #1-d [2]
    State the energy changes that take place in the following when they
    are in use :
  • #1-d-i
    a photovoltaic cell.
    Ans : Light energy to electrical energy.
  • #1-d-ii
    an electromagnet.
    Ans : Electrical energy to magnetic energy.
  • #1-e [2]
    A body of mass 5 kg is moving with a velocity of ``\pu{10 ms-1}``. What will
    be the ratio of its initial kinetic energy and final kinetic energy. if the
    mass of the body is doubled and its velocity is halved?
    Ans : 1
