Least Count of Digital Stop Watch = 0.01 s
1.11 Why do you need to measure extremely small interval of times?
Measuring Interval of Time: Different physical quantities like displacement, velocity and
acceleration, power and momentum are related to time. So we need to measure extremely
small intervals of time to get more precise readings.
1.12 What is meant by significant figures of a measurement?
Significant Figures: “All the accurately known digits and first doubtful digit in an expression
are called significant figures.”
1.13 How is precision related to significant figures in a measuring quantity?

3.4 What is the law of inertia? OR State Newton’s 1st
law of motion. [L.B. 2014,16,18]
Law of Inertia: Newton’s first law of motion is also called as law of inertia.
Statement: “A body continues its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line provided
no net force acts on it.”
3.5 Why is it dangerous to travel on the roof of a bus?
Travel on the Roof: The passengers traveling on the roof of bus are always in a danger to
fall in front of bus.
Reason: When brakes are applied, the passengers continue their straight line motion due to
inertia.
3.6 Why does a passengers move outward when a bus takes a turn?
Passengers Move Outward: When a bus takes a sharp turn, passengers continue their
straight line motion due to inertia. So they feel moving outward from the bus.
3.7 How can you relate a force with the change of momentum of a body?
Force and Momentum: “When a force acts on a body, it produces acceleration in the body
and will be equal to the rate of change of momentum of the body.”

3.8 What will be the tension in the rope that is pulled from its ends by two opposite forces
100 N each?
Tension: The tension in the string is equal to the force acting on either side of string. So the
tension will be 100 N.
3.9 Action and reaction are always equal and opposite. Then how does a body move?
Action and Reaction: Action and reaction act on different bodies. Forces of action and
reaction produce acceleration in different bodies and cannot nullify the effect of each
other.
3.10 A horse pulls the cart. If action and reaction are equal and opposite the how does
the cart move?
Horse-Cart: Action and reaction act on different bodies. Forces of horse and cart produce
acceleration in different bodies and cannot nullify the effect of each other. Hence the cart
moves.

4.6 When a body is said to be in equilibrium? [L.B. 2015,16]
According to 1st
condition: “A body is said to be in equilibrium if resultant of all forces
acting on it is zero.”
According to 2nd
condition: “A body is said to be in equilibrium if resultant of all torques
acting on it is zero.”
So, a body is in equilibrium if it satisfies either both or any one condition for equilibrium.
4.7 Explain the first condition for equilibrium.
First Condition: “A body is said to satisfy 1st
condition for equilibrium if resultant of all
forces acting on it is zero.” ͨ =
Example: A book lying on the table or a picture hanging on the wall satisfy the 1st
condition
for equilibrium.
4.8 Why there is a need of second condition for equilibrium if a body satisfies first
condition for equilibrium?
Need of 2nd
Condition: Only the 1st
condition for equilibrium does not ensure that a body is
in equilibrium as in the figure (a) resultant of F1 and F2 is zero (1st
condition is satisfied).
When location of F1 and F2 is shifted as in figure (b), the body has tendency to rotate. So
body is not in equilibrium.
4.9 What is second condition for equilibrium? [L.B. 2016,18]
Second Condition: “A body is said to satisfy 2nd
condition for equilibrium if resultant of all
torques acting on it is zero.” =
Example: A ladder leaning at a wall satisfies the 2nd
condition for equilibrium.
4.10 Give an example of a moving body which is in equilibrium.
Example: Any object moving in straight line with uniform velocity is in equilibrium. A
paratrooper coming down with terminal velocity (constant velocity) also satisfies 1st
condition for equilibrium.
4.11 Think of a body which is at rest but not in equilibrium. [L.B. 2016]
Body at Rest: In ideal situation, two forces act on a body thrown vertically upward. One is
the applied force vertically upward and other is weight vertically downward. At peak point,
body is at rest and applied force is zero but weight acts on body. Hence body is not in
equilibrium in presence of single force.

5.3 Do you attract the earth or the earth attracts you? Which one is attracting with a
larger force? You or the earth.
By Gravitation Law: “Everybody in the universe attracts every other body with a force which
is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the
square of distance between their centres.”
Thus, we and earth all attract each other with a mutual (same) force.
5.4 What is a field force? [L.B. 2018]
Field Force: “Field force is such a force which one body can apply on other weather the
body is in contact with it or not.”
Example: Gravitational force is an example of field force.
5.5 Why earlier scientists could not guess about gravitational force? [L.B. 2017]
Guess about Gravitational Force: Due to very small value of G, the gravitational force of
attraction between objects around us is very small. That is why earlier scientists could not
guess it.
5.6 How can you say that gravitational force is a field force?
Gravitational Field Force: The velocity of a body, thrown up, goes on decreasing while on
returns its velocity goes on increasing. The earth’s gravitational force produces acceleration
in the body weather the body is in contact with earth or not. So earth’s gravitational force is
a field force.
5.7 Explain, what is meant by gravitational field strength? [L.B. 2014,15,18]
Gravitational Field Strength: “In the gravitational field of earth, the gravitational force per
unit mass is called the gravitational field strength of the earth.”
Value: On the surface of earth value of gravitational field strength is 10 N kg-1
.
5.8 Why is law of gravitation important to us?

THERMAL PROPERTIES OF MATTERTHERMAL PROPERTIES OF MATTERTHERMAL PROPERTIES OF MATTERTHERMAL PROPERTIES OF MATTER
8.2 Why does heat flows from hot body to cold body?
Heat Flow: When two bodies of different temperature come into contact with each other,
the temperature of the hot body falls and it loses energy. This energy enters the cold body
due to which its temperature rises. The transfer of energy continues till both bodies have
the same temperature.
8.3 Define the terms heat and temperature. [L.B. 2014**,16**]
Heat: “Heat is the energy that is transferred from one body to the other in thermal contact
with each other as a result of the difference of temperature between them.”
Unit: Unit of Heat energy is joule (J).
Temperature: “Temperature of the body is the degree of hotness or coldness of the body.”
Unit: SI unit of temperature is Kelvin (K).
8.4 What is meant by internal energy of a body? [L.B. 2014]
Internal Energy: “The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy associated with the atoms,
molecules and particles of a body is called its internal energy.”

8.5 How does heating affect the motion of molecules of a gas? [L.B. 2015]
Effect of Heat: Gas molecules move randomly and when heat energy is given to these
molecules their kinetic energy increases due to which their velocity is increased.
8.6 What is thermometer? Why mercury is preferred as a thermometric substance?
Thermometer: “A device which is used to measure the temperature of a body is called
thermometer.”
Mercury as Thermometric Material: Mercury is preferred as thermometric material
because it has all the thermometric properties like low freezing point i.e. -39o
C, high boiling
point i.e. 357o
C and small specific heat capacity.

Evaporation: “Evaporation is the changing of a liquid into vapours from the surface of liquid
without heating it.”
Factors: Evaporation of a liquid depends on temperature, surface area, wind and nature of
liquid.
Evaporation Causes Cooling: During evaporation, fast moving molecules escape from the
surface of liquid leaving lower K.E. molecules behind. This lowers the average kinetic energy
of liquid molecules and temperature of liquid. Hence evaporation causes cooling.
