QUEEN’S CONVENT SCHOOL, DELHI

HALF YEARLY SAMPLE PAPER

CLASS:IX

SUBJECT: SCIENCE (Physics Portion)

SECTION: A

Q12. If a car’s speedometer reads a constant speed, what kind of motion


is it in?

a) Non-uniform motion b) Accelerated motion


c) Uniform motion d) Stationary

Q13. A goalkeeper in a game of football pulls his hands backwards after


holding the ball shot at the goal.
This enables the goalkeeper to

(a) exert larger force on the ball


(b) reduce the force exerted by the ball on hands
(c) increase the rate of change of momentum
(d) decrease the rate of change of momentum

Q14. Two objects of different masses falling freely near the surface of
moon would

(a) have same velocities at any instant


(b) have different accelerations
(c) experience forces of same magnitude
(d) undergo a change in their inertia

Q15The value of acceleration due to gravity

(a) is same on equator and poles (b) is least on poles


(c) is least on equator (d) increases
from pole to equator

Q16. An object of mass 2 kg is sliding with a constant velocity of 4 m/s on


a frictionless horizontal table. The force required to keep the object
moving with the same velocity is

(a) 32 N
(b) 0 N
(c) 2 N
(d) 8 N

Question No. 17 to 20 consist of two statements- Assertion (A) and Reason


(R). Answer these
questions selecting the appropriate option given below:
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

Q20. Assertion : Newton’s third law applies to all types of forces. e.g.
gravitational, electric or magnetic forces etc.
Reason : Newton’s third law of motion is applicable only when bodies are
in motion.

SECTION: B

Q25. Using the following data, draw time-displacement graph for a moving
object:

Use this graph to find the average velocity for the first 4 s, for the next 4 s
and for the last 6 s.

Q26. Two identical bullets are fired one by a light rifle and another by a
heavy rifle with the same force.
Which rifle will hurt the shoulder more and why?

SECTION: C

Q32. Using second law of motion, derive the relation between force and
acceleration. A bullet of 10 g strikes a sand-bag at a speed of 103 m/s and
gets embedded after travelling 5 cm. Calculate the resistive force exerted
by the sand on the bullet.

Q33. The weight of any person on the moon is about 1/6 times that on the
earth. He can lift a mass of 15kg on the earth. What will be the maximum
mass, which can be lifted by the same force applied by the person on the
moon?

SECTION: D

Q36. (i) Give an example of a body which may appear to be moving for
one person and stationary for the other.

(ii) A racing car has a uniform acceleration of 4 m / s 2. What distance will it


cover in 10 s after start?
(iii) A cyclist travels a distance of 4 km from P to Q and then moves a
distance of 3 km at a right angle to PQ. Find his displacement.

SECTION: E

Q39. What do aching feet, a falling apple and the orbit of the Moon have
in common? Each is caused by the gravitational force. An apple falls from
a tree because of the same force acting a few metres above Earth’s
surface. And the Moon orbits Earth because gravity is able to supply the
necessary centripetal force at a distance of hundreds of millions of
metres. Sir Isaac Newton was the first scientist to precisely define the
gravitational force, and to show that it could explain both falling bodies
and astronomical motions. The gravitational force is always attractive and
it depends only on the masses involved and the distance between them
(Newton’s universal law of gravitation).

(i) What is gravitational force?

(ii) Briefly explain why Newton pondered over the existence of


gravitation?

(iii) Define the universal gravitational constant.

(iv) State the value of G. Who obtained it for the first time?

(v) Several phenomena of celestial bodies were believed to be


unconnected but universal law of
gravitation was successful to explain them.’ Mention any two phenomena.
