Q1. Reverberations in a room is minimized by: 1 Mark

A Talking softly B Using an extra layer of paint
C Use of curtains D None of the above
Ans: C Use of curtains
Explanation:
Curtains absorb most of the sound incident on it and hence eliminate reverberations.
Q2. Larger the slope of a displacement-time graph: 1 Mark
A Lesser the velocity B Higher the velocity C Lesser the acceleration D Higher the acceleration
Ans: B Higher the velocity
Explanation:
The slope of a displacement-time graph with time axis measures velocity.
Larger slope (steeper graph) means the displacement is changing with a faster rate with respect to the time.
Faster rate of change of change of distance with respect to time simply means the body has a larger velocity.
Q3. In SONAR, we use: 1 Mark
A Ultrasonic waves. B Infrasonic waves. C Radio waves. D Audible sound waves.
Ans: A Ultrasonic waves.
Explanation:
SONAR (sound navigation ranging) uses ultrasonic waves i.e. sounds having frequency greater than 20,000Hz.
The reasons are:
Q4. When a stone falls freely towards the earth, its total energy ? 1 Mark
A First decreases and then becomes zero B Remains constant
C Increases D Decreases
Ans: B Remains constant
Explanation:
Since the ball is in free-fall, the only force acting on it is gravity. Therefore, we can use the principle of conservation of
mechanical energy - initially the ball has potential energy and no kinetic energy. As it falls, its total energy (the sum of the KE and
the PE) remains constant and equal to its initial PE. when reaches the ground there is no PE only KE I.E., Equal to initial PE
Q5. For its propagation sound requires: 1 Mark
A Air B Iron C Water D All of the above
Ans: D All of the above
Q6. A body is said to be under balanced forces when the resultant force acting on the body is: 1 Mark
A Unity B Zero C Infinite D None of these
Ans: B Zero
Explanation:
Forces are said to be balanced if resultant of the forces is zero i.e. FR = 0
FR
Acceleration of the body a = m
=0
Thus a body under balanced forces has zero acceleration.
Q7. The time taken by ___ oscillation to complete is called time period: 1 Mark
A One B Two C Three D Four
Ans: A One
Explanation:
Time period can be defined as time to complete one full oscillation.
Q8. 1 Mark
 During a football match the ball shot towards the goal struck the defender's foot at the speed of 10m/s and it bounces back at
20m/s. If the time of impact was 0.2s and mass of the ball is 0.5kg will then the average force exerted by defender on the ball will
be.
A 65 N B 75 N C 70 N D 80 N
Ans: B 75 N
Explanation:
Let us assume that the ball bounced back in the direction exactly opposite to what it had came.
Mass of ball, m = 0.5kg
Intial momentum: p1 = 0.5 × 10 = 5kgm/s
Final momentum: p2 = 0.5 × (-20) = 10kgm/s (negative sign due to opposite direction of motion)
Thus change in momentum, p = p2 - p1 = -15kgm/s
Rate of change of momentum, t = 0.2 s
p
Thus force exerted on ball = t
= − 75N
Q9. While opening a tap with two fingers, the forces applied are : 1 Mark
A Equal in magnitude B Parallel to each other C Opposite in direction D All the above
Ans: D All the above
Explanation:
As seen in the diagram,
Forces applied are parallel and in opposite direction, with same magnitude.

Q10. Inertia is __________? 1 Mark

A A property of mass B A type of force C The speed of an object D None of these
Ans: A A property of mass
Q11. The force of buoyancy is equal to: 1 Mark
A Weight of the body B Weight of the liquid displaced by the body
C Apparent weight of the body D None of these
Ans: B Weight of the liquid displaced by the body
Explanation:
According to Archimedes’ principle, when a body is immersed fully or partially in a fluid, it experiences an upward force that is
equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it.
The upward force exerted by the liquid on the body is known as upthrust or buoyant force.
Q12. In the SI system, the unit of potential energy is: 1 Mark
A Newton B Joule C Watt D Metre per second
Ans: B Joule
Q13. Perforated card boards are used in halls, for: 1 Mark
A Reflection of sound B Absorption of sound
C Refraction of sound D As a decorative material
Ans: B Absorption of sound
Explanation:
Perforated cardboard gypsum boards are an economical and efficient option to incorporate into projects, absorbing the sound and
reducing the noise level generated by the reverberation through different patterns and shapes.
Q14. A body rolling down a hill has: 1 Mark
A K.E. only B P.E. only C Neither K.E. nor P.E. D Both K.E. and P.E
Ans: D Both K.E. and P.E
Explanation:
 A ball rolling down a hill has both Kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is due to motion. So if the ball is rolling down it
has kinetic energy. Potential energy is the stored energy which is waiting to be used. If the ball is at a greater height it will have
more potential energy. So when the body starts rolling the stored potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy which causes
its motion. Hence a body rolling down a hill has both K.E and P.E
Q15. The full name of 'SONAR' is: 1 Mark
A Sonography and Research B Solar Navigation and Research
C Sound Navigation and Ranging D Sound Navigation and Research
Ans: C Sound Navigation and Ranging
Explanation:
The acronym SONAR stands for SOund Navigation And Ranging. Sonar is a device that uses ultrasonic waves to measure the
distance, direction and speed of underwater objects.
Q16. On tripling the speed of motion of a body, the change in K.E. is: 1 Mark
A 9 times B 8 times C 4 times D 2 times
Ans: A 9 times
Q17. Which of the following parameters determines the loudness of sound? 1 Mark
A Frequency B Amplitude C Wavelength D Speed
Ans: B Amplitude
Explanation:
Loudness is the measure of the intensity of sound waves. The intensity of a sound wave is proportional to its amplitude (I ? A2).
Hence the loudness of a sound depends on its amplitude.
Q18. A disused railway line has a length of 300m. A man puts his ear against one end of the rail and another man hits the other end with 1 Mark
a metal hammer. Sound travels at 5000m/ s in steel. The time it takes for the sound to travel along the rail is:
A 0.03s B 0.05s C 0.07s D 0.06s
Ans: D 0.06s
Explanation:
The approximate value for the speed of sound in air is 344m/ s.
Distance = 300m
Speed = 5000m/ s
Distance
∴ Time taken =
Time
300
=
5000
= 0.06s
Q19. Water falls from a height of 60m at the rate of 15kg is operate a turbine. The soosses due to frictional forces are 10% of energy. 1 Mark
How much power is generated by the turbine? (Take, g = 10m/ s2).
A 8.1kW B 10.2kW C 12.3kW D 7.9kW
Ans: A 8.1kW
Explanation:
90% the of the energy is used to turn the turbine.
? So the power generated in the turbine is = 0.9 × (change in PE of the water per second)
? 0.9 × 15 × 10 × 60
= 8100 watt.
