Guess Paper – 2010

Class – X
Subject – Science Paper (Physics)

Q1). a) A CAR IS MOVING WITH A CONSTANT VELOCITY OF 100m/s ON A ROUGH ROAD

.GIVE THE MAGNITUDE OF NET FORCE ACTING ON THE BODY?(TAKE g=9.8m/s2 AND
ASSUME THE BODY INITIALLY AT REST.?

b) HOW LONG WOULD AN ELECTRIC MOTOR OF POWER 2HP OPERATE SO AS TO PUMP 5

m 3OF WATER FROM THE DEPTH OF 15m?

c) WHAT IS THE WORK DONE BY GRAVITIONAL FORCE ON THE MOON WHILE IT

REVOLVS AROUND THE EARTH?

d)WHAT IS THE RELATION BETWEEN MA AND VR FOR-:

i)IDEAL MACHINE

ii)PRACTICAL MACHINE?

e) STATE THE ENERGY TRANSFORMATION THAT OCCURS IN-:

i) PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM EXPOSED

ii)WATER FREEZES IN THE FRIDGE?

Q2) a) THE CRITICAL ANGLE FOR YELLOW LIGHT IS 45… WILL IT BE EQUAL TO , LESS
THAN OR GREATER THAN 45 FOR i) red ii) blue light?

b) EXPLAIN WHY A FISHERMAN AIMS AT THE TAIL OF A FISH DURING SPEAR FISHING?

c) IN SUN GLASSES BOTH THE SURFACES ARE CURVED YET ITS BEHAVIOUR IS NEITHER
LIKE A CONVEX NOR LIKE A CONCAVE LENS? EXPLAIN?

d)CAN A NORMAL CONVEX LENS BEHAVE AS A CONCAVE LENS. GIVE A REASON?

e) A PRISM CAUSES DISPERSION OF LIGHT WHILE A RECTANGULAR SLAB DOES NOT.

EXPLAIN?

Q3) a) A NICHROME WIRE OF LENGTH 3m HAS RESISTIVITY 0.069 ohm m. WHAT WILL BE
THE RESISTIVITY OF 6m OF THE SAME WIRE OF SAME THICKNESS?

b) SIX EQUAL RESISTORS OF 1 ohm EACH ARE CONNECTED TO FORM THE SIDES OF
HEXAGON ABCDEF. CALCULATE THE RESISTANCE OF COMBINATION IF CURRENT
ENTERS FROM A AND LEAVES AT D?

c) THE ELECTRIC BULBS USED THESE DAYS HAVE A COILED FILAMENT. GIVE THE
REASON?

d) THE EQUATION I2RT SEEMS TO SUGGEST THAT THE RATE OF HEATING IS REDUCED IF
‘R’ IS REDUCED WHILE V2/R SUGGESTS THE OPPOSITE. HOW DO YOU OPPOSE THIS
CONTRADICTION?

e) WHY IS SOFT IRON PREFERRED OVER STEEL AS A CORE OF ELECTROMAGNET.

SUGGEST TWO REASONS?

Q4) a) A BOY STANDS NEAR A CLIFF ON OTHER SIDE OF A RIVER . HE FIRES A GUN AND
HEARS AN ECHO AFTER 6sec .THE BOY THEN MOVES BACKWARD BY 170m AND AGAIN
FIRES A GUN . HE HEARS AN ECHO AFTER 7sec. CALCULATE i) width of the river ii) speed of
sound?

b) THE TEMPERATURE OF 600 g OF COLD WATER RISES BY 15..C WHEN HOT WATER AT
50..C WAS ADDED TO IT. WHAT WAS THE INITIAL TEMP. OF COLD WATER?

c) STATE THE PRINCIPLE OF CALORIMETRY. GIVE TWO REASONS WHY COPPER IS

PREFERRED FOR MAKING CALORIMETERS?

d) A RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCE IS OXIDISED . WHAT CHANGE DO YOU EXPECT TO TAKE

PLACE IN NATURE OF ITS RADIOACTIVITY. GIVE A REASON?

e) A BULB IS MARKED AS 100W-220V AND AN HEATER IS MARKED 2000W-220V.

;) WHAT IS THE RATIO OF RESISTANCE OF THE TWO DEVICES

ii) IN WHICH OF ABOVE TWO DEVICES A THICKER WIRE OF LEAD IS REQUIRED?
