and packing of various materials?

(v) What is the function of ribosomes ?

18. Read the following passage and answer the following four questions 18 (i) to 18 (iv).

It was expected from Rutherford’s experiment that alpha particles would go right through the foil
with hardly any deflection. Although most of the alpha particles indeed were not deviated much,
a few were scattered through very large angles. Some were even scattered in the backward
direction. The only way to explain the results Rutherford found , was to picture an atom as being
composed of a tiny nucleus in which it is positive charge and nearly all its mass are concentrated.

(i) Which experiment is explained in the above paragraph?

(a) Rutherford’s alpha particle experiment
(b) plum pudding experiment
(c) Bohr’s model of atom
(d) fractional distillation

(ii) Alpha particles that come closer to the nuclei

(a) Are deflected more
(b) Are deflected less
(c) Make more collision
(d) Are slowed down more.

(iii) Which metal is used for the above experiment?

(a) sodium (b) gold (c) lithium (d) copper

(iv) What is the charge of nucleus?

(a) negative (b) positive (c)neutral (d) none of these
19. Read the following passage and answer the following four questions 19 (i) to 19 (iv).
The velocity – time graph of two cars A and B , which start from the same place and move
along a straight road in the same direction, as shown in diagram :

Calculate ,
(a) the acceleration of car A
(b) the acceleration of car B between 2 s to 4 s.
(c) the points of time at which both the cars have the same velocity.
(d) which of the cars is ahead after 8 seconds and by how much ?
20. Read the following passage and answer the following four questions 20 (i) to 20 (iv).

The falling of a body from a height towards the earth under gravitational force is called Free fall.
Such a body is called freely falling body. The earth attracts objects towards it due to
gravitational force. Whenever the object fall towards the earth under this force, we say that
object are in free fall. While falling there is no change in the direction of motion of object but
due to earth attraction, there will be a change in magnitude of the velocity. Any change in
velocity involves acceleration. Whenever an object falls towards earth ,an acceleration is
involved. This acceleration is due to earth’s gravitation force. Therefore it is called as
acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration of an object falling freely towards the earth does not
depend on mass of object. During free fall , heavier as well as light objects accelerate at same
rate. For ex : When a feather and coin are dropped from a roof, coin reaches the ground first and
feather takes time. Feather has large surface area and therefore experiences more resistances
from air. Thus. Its speed decreases and reaches later. Coin has small surface area and therefore
experiences less resistance from air. Thus its speed increases and reaches faster if there was no
air then feather and coin reaches the ground at same time.

(a) What do you mean by free fall ?

(b) During a free fall will heavier objects accelerate more than lighter ones ?
(c) What is the value of acceleration due to gravity ?
 (i) 9.80 m/s2 (ii) 0.98 m/s2 (iii) 9.08 m/s2 (iv) .098 m/s2
(d) On what factors does the value of g depends ?

24. Draw the states of matter triangle to show the inter conversion of states of matter.

26. A body weight 10 kg on the surface of the earth. What would be its mass and weight at the
centre of the earth ?

SECTION-C

27. Give reasons for the following:

(a) Inner membrane of mitochondria is deeply folded
(b) mitochondria are called as semi-autonomous organelles.
(c) Why endocytosis found in animal cells only.
