11 In the above example, assuming that the bench on which Mahendra is sitting is frictionless, starting with zero
velocity, what will be Mahendra’s velocity of motion towards Virat after 1 s ? Will this velocity change with time
and how?
m 75
Using Newton’s first equation, we can calculate Mahendra’s velocity after 1s, Newton’s first equation of motion
is
v = u + at;
As Mahendra is sitting on the bench, his initial velocity is zero (u = 0)
Assuming the bench to be frictionless,
v = 0 + 5.34 × 10-9 × 1 m/s
= 5.34 × 10-9 m/s
Mahendra’s velocity after 1 s will be 5.34 × 10-9 m/s .

19 A tennis ball is thrown up and reaches a height of 4.05 m before coming down. What was its initial velocity?
How much total time will it take to come down? Assume g = 10 m/s2.
Ans For the upward motion of the ball, the final velocity of the ball = v = 0
Distance travelled by the ball = 4.05 m
acceleration a = - g = -10 m/s2
Using Newton’s third equation of motion
v2 = u2 + 2 a s
0 = u2 + 2 (-10) × 4.05
∴ u
2 = 81
4.05 = 0 + 10 t2 1
t2 = = 0.81, t = 0.9 s
4.05
The ball will take 0.9 s to reach the ground. It will take the same time to go up. Thus, the total time taken = 2 ×
0.9 = 1.8 s
Ans Atoms of different elements excepting noble gases do not have complete octet so they combine with other
atoms to form chemical bond. The force which holds the atoms or ions together within the molecule is called
a chemical bond and the process of their combination is called chemical bonding.
Ans A metal in chemistry is an element that creates positive ions readily and has metallic bonds. Metals are
sometimes represented by a cloud of delocalized electrons as a lattice of positive ions.
Non-metals are the elements that form negative ions by accepting or gaining electrons. Non-metals usually
have 4, 5, 6 or 7 electrons in their outermost shell.
Physical Properties of Metals
i. All the metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Cooking utensils and irons are made up of
metals as they are good conductors of heat.
ii. Ductility is the ability of the material to be stretched into a wire. This ability allows metals to be drawn into
wires and coupled with their durability, find applications as cable wires and for soldering purposes.
Because Metals can be drawn into wires we can say that metals are ductile.
iii. Malleability is the property of substances that allows them to be beaten into flat sheets. Aluminium sheets
are used in the manufacturing of Aircraft because of their lightweight and strength. Other metals sheets are
used in automobile industries, for making utensils, etc. Therefore, metals are malleable.
iv. Metals are sonorous because it produces a deep or ringing sound when struck with another hard object.
v. Usually, all the metals have a shiny appearance but these metals can also be polished to have a shiny
appearance.
Physical Properties of Non-Metals
i. Ductility is the property of the material to be stretched into wires but non-metals are not ductile except for
carbon, as carbon fibres find uses in a wide variety of industries including sports and music equipment.
ii. Another property characteristic to metals is absent in non-metals called malleability. They can’t be drawn
into sheets as they are brittle and break on applying pressure.
iii. They are not lustrous as they do not have any shiny appearance.
iv. They are not sonorous and do not produce a deep ringing sound when they are hit with another material.
They are also bad conductors of heat and electricity except for graphite.

Ans If our planet were to lose gravity merely for five seconds, as we know that, it would mean the end of life on
Earth. Gravity pushes each other against artefacts. The more massive an object is, the greater its
gravitational attraction. Humans and other objects will become weightless without gravity.
If we have no gravity force, the atmosphere would disappear into space, the moon would collide with the
earth, the earth would stop rotating, we would all feel weightless, the earth would collide with the sun, and as
a consequence. We would all perish.

42 In the above experiment, the wire moves through the ice slab. However, the ice slab does not break. Why?
Ans The wire cuts through water and shifts downward. As the wire displaces, pressure applied by wire on ice slab
vanishes and its melting point is restored to 0 °C causing freezing of ice. In this manner, due to regelation wire
moves through the ice slab completely without breaking it.

Ans Three fundamental laws of Newton's. The first states that a body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion
in a straight line unless it is acted on by an external force. The second states that the rate of change of
momentum of a moving body is proportional to the force acting to produce the change. The third states that if
one body exerts a force on another, there is an equal and opposite force (or reaction) exerted by the second
body on the first.

72 If we bring an object closer than 25 cm from the eyes, why can we not see it clearly even though it subtends a
bigger angle at the eye?
Ans Minimum distance of distinct vision : Though the focal length of the eye lens is adjustable, it cannot be
decreased below a certain limit. Hence, if an object is very close to the eye, the minimum distance from the
eye at which an object is clearly visible without stress on the eye, is called the minimum distance of distinct
vision. For the normal human eye, it is 25 cm.

by arranging the elements in the ascending order of their atomic numbers.
(ii) As isotopes have the same atomic number they do not need to be given different positions (slots).
77 Due to uncertainty in the names of some of the elements, a question mark is indicated before the symbol in
the Mendeleev’s periodic table. What are such symbols?
Ans Mendeleev arranged the elements in the increasing order of atomic masses. In some places the atomic mass
of elements would not be in right order to put them in the correct group. Tellurium is heavier than Iodine, but
he put Iodine after Tellurium because Iodine has similar properties like F, Cl, Br. He placed the elements
according to their properties and put a question mark to indicate that the atomic mass needs to be checked.
for e.g.? Yt = 88 in Mendeleev.s periodic table was corrected as Yt = 88.906 in Modem Periodic table.

81 How will you explain following statements with the help of the anomalous behaviour of water?
In regions with cold climate, the aquatic plants and animals can survive even when the atmospheric
temperature goes below 0 oC.
Ans When the atmospheric temperature goes below 0∘C, the water at the surface gradually freezes to ice, but the
water under the ice layer remains at 4∘C. The ice has little passageways to let air in and out. Hence, the
oxygen gets dissolved and other gases are pushed out.
82 Iron is a conductor of electricity, but when we pick up a piece of iron resting on the ground, why don’t we get
electric shock?
Ans To get an electric shock, the object should be charged. Pieces of iron on the ground are not charged. Thus,
even though iron is a good conductor of electricty, we do not get an electric shock while lifting it from the
ground.
