29. CASE BASED QUESTION
The laws of motion, formulated by Sir Isaac Newton, are fundamental principles that
describe the behavior of objects in response to external forces. Newton’s first law of motion
states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move
with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. The second law of motion
introduces the concept of force. Newton’s third law of motion states that for every action,
there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that if object A exerts a force on object
B, object B will exert an equal but opposite force on object A.
i) Newton’s first law of motion is also known as the law of:
(a) Acceleration (b) Inertia (c) Force (d) Action-reaction
ii) If you jerk a piece of paper laced under a book very quickly, the book will not move.
Why?
iii) A cricket player lowers his hands while catching the ball safely. Why?
(OR)
Iv) A cricket ball of mass 500g is moving with a velocity of 12m/s, and is hit by a bat, so
that the ball is turned back with a velocity of 20m/s. the force of the blow acts for 0.01 s
on the ball. Find the average force exerted by the bat on the ball.
30. Surface tension arises due to the fact that the free surface of a liquid at rest has some
additional potential energy. Due to it, a liquid surface tends to occupy a minimum surface
area and behaves like stretched membrane. If a steel needle may be made to float on
water, though the steel is denser than water. This is because the water surface acts as a
stretched elastic membrane and supports the needle. The surface tension of liquids
changes appreciably with addition of impurities. A highly soluble substance like sodium
chloride increases the surface tension of water. A sparingly soluble substance like phenol
or soap reduces the surface tension of water.
i) The value of surface tension at critical temperature is
a) 450 b) 900 c) 600 d) zero
ii) How does soap help us to remove dirt better in clothes?
iii) A tiny liquid drop is spherical but larger drop has oval shape. Why?
iv) Define surface tension.
(OR)
v) Define surface energy.

31. State and prove Bernoulli’s principle for the flow of non- viscous fluids. Give any two
applications of it.
(OR)
What is capillarity? Derive the expression for the rise of liquid in capillary tube.
32. Derive the expression for total energy of particles which execute simple harmonic motion.
(OR)
