Read the following passage and answer any four of five questions:

Galileo’s Isochronous Pendulum: Galileo observed a lamp swinging from ceiling at Pisa cathedral ceiling. He was the first scientist to observe how long it took any object suspended from a rope or chain (a pendulum) to swing back and forth. There were no wrist watches at that time, so Galileo used his own pulse as a time measurement. Galileo observed that no matter how big the swings were, as in when the lamp was first swung, to how small the swings were as the lamp returned to a standstill, the time it took for each swing to complete was exactly the same. So, he concluded that the oscillations are isochronous. Anyhow, it was proved by advanced experimentation that the isochronism of simple pendulum is correct within 1% under the 30° of amplitude. It is confirmed that the period changes less than 1 % until the amplitude is 30°. On the other hand, the period increased by more than 10% when the amplitude became larger than 80°. At the end of his life he devised a scheme for using a pendulum to regulate a mechanical clock. However, the first reliable pendulum clock was only demonstrated by Huygens 15 years after Galileo’s death.

(A) By a stop watch
(B) By using pulse beats
(C) By using vibration of a stringed instrument
(D) By using a sand clock  [1]
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation: Since no watches were available at that time, Galileo used his own pulse as a time measurement.

(A) 90°
(B) 60°
(C) 30°
(D) 80°  [1]
Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation: Anyhow, it was proved by advanced experimentation that the isochronism of simple pendulum is correct within 1% under the 30° of amplitude. It is confirmed that the period changes less than 1% until the amplitude is 30°. On the other hand, the period increased by more than 10% when the amplitude became larger than 80°.

Question 26.
How is Newton’s second law of motion consistent with the Newton’s first law ? [2]
Answer:
From Newton’s, force F = m × a. If F = 0, then a = 0, i.e., of motion no external force means no acceleration. It implies no change in state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line which is nothing but first law of motion.

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 11 Physics Set 7 with Solutions

Question 27.
Why Newton’s second law of motion is not applicable to the motion of a rocket ? [2]
Answer:
Newton’s second law of motion, i.e., \(\vec{F}\) = m × \(\vec{a}\) is applicable only if the mass (m) of the body remains constant. In case of the rocket, the mass continuously decreases and hence \(\vec{F}\) = m × \(\vec{a}\) is not applicable.

Commonly Made Error

Find the direction for an umbrella when rain falls vertically with speed 20 ms-1 and wind blows from east to west with a speed of 15 ms-1.
Answer:
The horizontal range is maximum for θ = 45° and it is given by
Rmax = \(\frac{u^2}{g}\) … (i)
The maximum height attained,
H = \(\frac{u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 g}\)
Therefore, for θ = 45°
Hmax = \(\frac{u^2 \sin ^2 45^{\circ}}{2 g}\) = \(\frac{u^2}{4 g}\) … (ii)
From the equation (i) and (ii),
Rmax = 4Hmax

Commonly Made Error

Question 32.
A solid sphere of mass m and radius r is rolling on a horizontal surface.
What fraction of total energy of the sphere is :
(i) Kinetic energy of rotation ?
(ii) Kinetic energy of translation ?  [3]
Answer:
Mass of sphere = m
Radius of sphere = r
Moment of inertia = (2,/5)(mr2)
Total energy = KR + KT
Total energy = KTOTAL = (1/2)Iω2 + (1/2)mυ2
= (1/2)(2/5)(mυ2)(υ2/r2) + (1/2) mυ2
= (1/2) (7/5)(mυ2)
The ratio KR/KTOTAL = \(\frac{(1 / 2)(2 / 5)(m v)^2}{(1 / 2)(7 / 5)(m v)^2}\) = \(\frac{2}{7}\)
The ratio Kr/KTOTAL = \(\frac{(1 / 2)(m v)^2}{(1 / 2)(7 / 5)(m v)^2}\) = \(\frac{5}{7}\)

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 11 Physics Set 7 with Solutions 2
Answer:
The ratio of relative velocity of separation after collision to the relative velocity of approach before collision.
Coefficient of restitution,
i.e., e = \(\frac{v_2-v_1}{u_1-u_2}\)
where u1 and u2 are initial velocities of the two colliding bodies and υ1, υ2 are their final velocities after collision.

(i) For elastic collision, velocity of separation is equal to the velocity of approach.
∴ e = 1
(ii) For inelastic collision, velocity of separation is not zero but always less than the velocity of approach.
∴ 0 < e < 1
(iii) For perfectly inelastic collision, the colliding bodies stick to each other and move with same velocity.
e = 0

OR

Given : m = 100 metric ton
= 100 × 1000 kg
Total force of friction,
f1 = 100 × 5 = 500 kg wt
= 500 × 9.8 N = 4900 N
sin θ = \(\frac{1}{10}\)
Suppose, f2 = Downward force on the train = component of its weight acting in downward direction parallel to the inclined plane = mg sin θ
= 100 × 1000 × 9.8 × \(\frac{1}{100}\)
= 9800 N
When F be the total force against which engine has to work, then
F = f1 + f2
= 4900 + 9800 = 14700 N
υ = velocity of train
= 36 km h-1
= 36 × \(\frac{5}{18}\)ms-1
= 10 ms-1

OR
A hydraulic automobile lift is designed to lift cars with a maximum mass of 3000 kg. The area of cross-section of the piston carrying the load is 425 cm2. What maximum pressure would the smaller piston have to bear ?
Answer:
It states that the power (E) emitted per unit area by a body at absolute temperature, T is given by
E = \(\varepsilon \sigma T^4\)
where
E = Energy being emitted per second per unit area of surface
ε = Emissivity or emissive power of that body (which is equal to 1 for black body)
σ = Stefan’s constant
= 5.67 × 10-8 Jm-2 KT-4 s-1.

If temperature of the surrounding is to be taken into consideration then the net rate of loss of energy as heat per unit area per second is given by
E = εσ(T4 – \(\mathrm{T}_0^4\))
If the total area or surface is A, then the total energy radiated in time,
E = Aεσt(T4 – \(\mathrm{T}_0{ }^4\))
OR
Given : The maximum force which the bigger piston can bear,
F = 3000 kgf
= 3000 × 9.8 N
Area of cross-section of piston,
A = 425 cm2
= 425 × 10-4 m2.
When P = maximum pressure on the bigger piston
Then P = \(\frac{F}{A}\) = \(\frac{3000 \times 9.8}{425 \times 10^{-4}}\)
= 6.92 × 105 Pa
As the liquid transmits pressure equally in all directions, hence the maximum pressure the smaller piston can bear is 6.92 × 105 Pa

(ii) mean kinetic energy of one gram molecule of hydrogen at S.T.P.
(Given, density of hydrogen at S.T.P. is 0.09 kg/m3.)  [3]
Answer:
Here, ρ = 0.09 kg/m3
At S.T.P. ρ = 1.01 × 105Pa
(i) According to kinetic theory of gases
P = \(\frac{1}{3} \rho c^2\)
or C = \(\sqrt{\frac{3 P}{\rho}}\)

= 1837.5 m/s

(ii) Volume occupied by one mole of hydrogen at S.T.P.
= 22.4 litres = 22.4 × 10-3 m3
Mass of hydrogen,
M = Volume × Density
= 22.4 × 10-3 × 0.09 kg
= 2.016 × 10-3 kg
mean K.E. of one gram molecule of hydrogen at S.T.P.
= \(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{MV}_{\mathrm{rms}}^2\)

Question numbers 38 to 40 carry 5 marks each.

Question 38.
A cricket bowler releases the ball in two different ways
(A) giving it only horizontal velocity, and
(B) giving it horizontal velocity and a small downward velocity.
The speed υs at the time of release is the same. Both are released at a height H from the ground. Which one will have greater speed when the ball hits the ground? Neglect air resistance. [5]
Answer:
For (A) = \(\frac{1}{2} v_z^2\) = gH or υz = \(\sqrt{2 g H}\)
Speed at ground = \(\sqrt{v_s^2+v_z^2}\) = \(\sqrt{v_s^2+2 g H}\)
For(B) also [\(\frac{1}{2} m v_{\mathrm{s}}^2\) + mgH] is the total energy of the ball when it hits the ground.
So the speed would be the same for both (A) and (B).

Answer:
Relation between torque and Moment of inertia:
Consider a rigid body rotating about a given axis with a uniform angular acceleration α, under the action of a torque.
Let the body consist of particles of masses m1, m2, m3, …, mn, at perpendicular distance r1, r2, r3 …, rn, respectively from the axis of rotation. (as shown in figure)
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 11 Physics Set 7 with Solutions 7

As the body is rigid, angular acceleration α of all the particles of the body is the same. However, linear accelerations of the particles depend on their distance from the axis. If a1, a2, a3, …, an are the respective linear accelerations of the particles, then,
a1 = r1α, a2 = r2α, a3 = … 1
Force on particle of mass m is
f1 = m1a1 = m1r1α
Moment of this force about the axis of rotation
f1 × r1 = (m1r1α) × r1 = m1\(r_1^2 \alpha\)

Similarly, moment of forces on other particles about the axis of rotation are \(m_2 r_2^2 \alpha, m_3 r_3^2 \alpha\) ……
\(m_n r_n{ }^2 \alpha\).
∴ Torque acting on the body,
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 11 Physics Set 7 with Solutions 8
where, \(m_1 r_1^2\) = moment of inertia of the body about the given axis of rotation.
If α = 1, \(\tau\) = I × 1 or I = \(\tau\)
\(\vec{\tau}\) = \(I \vec{\alpha}\)

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 11 Physics Set 7 with Solutions 9
If given particle moves only in x-y plane,
Then z = 0, pz = 0,
hence, lx = 0, ly = 0, lz = (xpy – ypx)\(\hat{k}\)
(which is only z-component of l)
Therefore, particle moves only in x-y plane, the angular momentum has only a z-component.

Derive an expression to find the specific heat with the help of calorimeter.
Answer:
Consider an element at r of width dr. Let T(r) and T (r + dr) be the tensions at the two edges, respectively.
Net centrifugal force in element = ω2rdm [ω = angular velocity of rod]
= ω2r µ dr [∴ µ = mass/length]
-T(r + dr) + T(r) = µω2rdr
–\(\frac{d \mathrm{~T}}{d r}\)dr = µω2rdr
-dT = µω2rdr
∵ Tènsion and centrifugal force are opposite.

Let
W = Water equivalent of calorimeter.
T1 = Initial temperature of water and calorimeter
m1 = Mass of water.
m2 = Mass of substance
C = Specific heat of the substance
T2 = Temperature of the substance
Rise in temperature of water and calorimeter
= (T – T1)
Fall in temperature of substance = (T2 – T)
Heat gained by water and calorimeter
= (m1 + W) (T – T1) ..(i)
Heat lost by the substance
= Cm2(T2 – T) …(ii)
It we assume that there is no stray loss of heat Ihen
Heat lost = Heat gained
Cm2. (T2 – T) = (m1 + W)(T – T1)
C = \(\frac{\left(m_1+\mathrm{W}\right)\left(\mathrm{T}-\mathrm{T}_1\right)}{m_2\left(\mathrm{~T}_2-\mathrm{T}\right)}\)
