Answer 14.

1. Echo – sound heard after reflection from an obstacle. 
2. Conditions –
   
   • time interval between the original sound and reflected sound must be at least 0.1 s
   • minimum distance of the obstacle from the source of sound must be 17.2 m at 22°C. = 17 – 18 m at room temperature.

Answer 16.

• Power is the rate of doing work/rate of transfer of energy.
• S.I. unit of power is watt
• I watt is the power of an agent which does work at the rate of 1 joule per second/ power
  of an agent when the rate of consumption of energy is 1 joule per second.

For A:
W = mgh
= 32 kg × 10 m/s² × 8 m
W = 2560 J
Both have same mass and climb the same height.
∴ Work done by B = 2560 J
P = \(\frac { 2560J }{ 15S } \) = 170.7 W
P = \(\frac { 2560J }{ 20S } \) = 128 W
∴ A has more power

Answer 17.
1. Rutherford’s scattering experiment: He selected a sheet of very thin gold foil to be bombarded with fast moving a-particles – which were doubly positively charged ‘He’ ions.
The fast moving a-particles have a considerable amount of kinetic energy to hit the gold atoms
Observations:

• Most of the a-particles passed straight through the foil.
• One out of 20,000 particles appeared to rebound.

Inference:

• There is a positive centre inside the atom called nucleus.
• The electrons revolve around the nucleus in well defined orbits.
• The size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the size of the atom.

2. Atomic number is 17
Element is chlorine
Electronic configuration – 2, 8, 7; valency – 1

Answer 18.

1. OA – uniform acceleration, AB – zero acceleration/constant velocity.
2. 20 ms^-1; zero/body comes to rest.
3. Retardation = \(\frac { { (0-20)ms }^{ -1 } }{ (40-30)s } \) m s^-1 = -10 m s^-1
4. Distance between 10th and 30th second = area of shaded figure
   = (30 – 10)s × 20 m s^-1
   = 20 s × 20 m s^-1
   = 400 m

Answer 19.

1. Maintenance of temperature
2. Provision of hygienic conditions in housing and poultry feed
3. Prevention and control of diseases and pests

SECTION : B

Answer 22.
Initial reading of the spring balance = 10 g
Final reading of the spring balance = 122.5 g
Final reading = 122.5- 10= 112.5 g

Answer 23.
velocity = \(\frac { Distance }{ time } \) ; \(\frac { 20m }{ 10 } \) = 2 m/s

• Pupa

Answer 25.

• Sugar – Sucrose → C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ 
• Alum – K₂SO₄ . Al₂(SO₄)₃ . 24H₂O

Answer 26.
Speed of sound = \(\frac { Distance }{ Time }\)
344 m/s = \(\frac { Distance }{ 1.0s } \)
∴ Distance = 34.4 m
This is the total distance, hence half of 34.4 m = 17.2 m is the minimum distance for an echo.
