General Instructions:
(i) There are 10 questions in all. All questions are compulsory.
(ii) This question paper has five sections: Section A, Section B, Section C, Section D and Section E.
(iii) Section A contains six questions of one mark each, Section B contain one question of two marks, Section C
contain one question of three marks, Section D contains one case study-based question of four marks and Section
E contain one question of five marks.
(iv) There is no overall choice. However, an internal choice has been provided in one question of five mark. You
have to attempt only one of the choices in such questions.
Section - A
All questions are compulsory. In case of internal choices, attempt any one of them.
1 Which pairs do not have equal dimensions?
(a) Force and impulse (b) Elastic modulus and pressure 1
(c) Energy and torque (d) Angular momentum and Planck's constant
2 Given that the displacement of an oscillating particle is given by y = A sin (Bx + Ct + D). The dimensional
formula for (ABCD) is: 1
(a) [M0L-1T-1] (b) [M0L0T0] (c)[M0L-1T0] (d) [M0L0T-1]
3 When a particle moves with variable velocity, which of the following statements are not correct
(I) Average speed = average velocity (II) Instantaneous speed = instantaneous velocity 1
(III) Distance covered = magnitude of displacement
(a) I, II, III (b) I, II (c) II, III (d) I, III
4 A particle moving in a straight line covers half the distance with speed of 3 m/s. The other half of the
distance is covered in two equal time intervals with speed of 4.5 m/s and 7.5 m/s respectively. The 1
average speed of the particle during this motion is
(a) 4.0 m/s (b) 5.0 m/s (c) 5.5 m/s (d) 4.8 m/s
Two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason(R). Select the correct answer
to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as 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 correct but R is incorrect d) A is incorrect and R is also incorrect.
5 Assertion: Number of significant figures in 0.005 is one and that in 0.500 is three.
Reason: This is because zeros are not significant. 1

6 Assertion: ‘Light year’ and ‘Wavelength’ both measure distance. 1

Reason: Both have dimension of time.
Section - B
7 Mechanical power is represented by P – F v + Av³p where, F is the force, v is the velocity, A is the area
and ρ is the density. 2

a) What is the use of the acceleration – time graph?

b) Draw the velocity-time graph using the above graph.
c) Find the displacement in the given interval of time from 0 to 3 seconds.
Section - D (CASE STUDY)
9 Read the following text and answer the following questions on the basis of the same:
Significant figures in the measured value of a physical quantity tell the number of digits in which we
have confidence. Larger the number of significant figures obtained in a measurement, greater is the
accuracy of measurement and vice – versa. In addition, or subtraction, the number of decimal places in
the result should equal the smallest number of decimal places in any term in the operation. In
multiplication and division, the number of significant figures in the product or in the quotient is the
same as the smallest number of significant figures in any of the factors. With the help of above
comprehension, choose the most appropriate alternative for each of the following questions:

i) The area enclosed by a circle of diameter 1.06 m with correct number of significant figures is
(a) 0.88 m2 (b) 1.88 m2 (c) 0.883 m2 (d) 0.882026 m2
ii) The circumference of the circle of diameter 1.06 m with correct number of significant figures is
(a) 3.33 m (b) 3.3 m (c)3.33142 m (d)3 m 4

iii) Subtract 2.6x 104 from 3.9x 105 with due regard to significant figures.
(a) 3.64 x 105 (b) 3.6 x 105 (c) 3.7 x 105 (d) 3.65 x 106
iv) Add 3. 8x 10-6 to 4.2 x 10-5 with due regard to significant figures.
(a) 4.6 x10-5 (b) 4.58 x 10-5 (c) 4.6 x 10-6 (d) 4.580 x 10-5
OR
Two gold pieces each of mass 0.035g are placed in a box of mass 2.3 g. The total mass of the box with
gold pieces is
(a) 2.3 g (b) 2.4 g (c) 2.37 g (d) 2.370g
Section - E
