What are the limitations of Rutherford’s model of the atom?
As per Rutherford's model of a molecule the electrons are spinning in a round circle around the core. Any such molecule that spins would go through speed increase and emanate energy. The spinning electron would lose its energy lastly fall into the core, the particle would be profoundly temperamental. In any case, we realize that molecules are very steady.
Abdul, while driving to school, computes the average speed for his trip to be 20 km h-1. On his return trip along the same route, there is less traffic and the average speed is 40 km h-1. What is the average speed for Abdul’s trip?
An object of mass 40 kg is raised to a height of 5 m above the ground. What is its potential energy? If the object is allowed to fall, find its kinetic energy when it is half-way down.
A driver of a car travelling at 52 km h-1 applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly in the opposite direction. The car stops in 5 s. Another driver going at 3 km h-1 in another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in 10 s. On the same graph paper, plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars travelled farther after the brakes were applied?
Fig 8.11 shows the distance-time graph of three objects A,B and C. Study the graph and answer the following questions:
Fig. 8.11
(a) Which of the three is travelling the fastest?
(b) Are all three ever at the same point on the road?
(c) How far has C travelled when B passes A?
(d) How far has B travelled by the time it passes C?
Two objects, each of mass 1.5 kg, are moving in the same straight line but in opposite directions. The velocity of each object is 2.5 m s-1 before the collision during which they stick together. What will be the velocity of the combined object after collision?
Soni says that the acceleration in an object could be zero even when several forces are acting on it. Do you agree with her? Why?
Two objects of masses 100 g and 200 g are moving along the same line and direction with velocities of 2 m s-1 and 1 m s-1, respectively. They collide and after the collision, the first object moves at a velocity of 1.67 m s-1. Determine the velocity of the second object.
How do poriferan animals differ from coelenterate animals?
The speed-time graph for a car is shown is Fig. 8.12.

(e) Soda water.
Why are we normally advised to take bland and nourishing food when we are sick?
A driver of a car travelling at 52 km h-1 applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly in the opposite direction. The car stops in 5 s. Another driver going at 3 km h-1 in another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in 10 s. On the same graph paper, plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars travelled farther after the brakes were applied?
When a carpet is beaten with a stick, dust comes out of it. Explain.
A freely falling object eventually stops on reaching the ground. What happenes to its kinetic energy?
Write an expression for the work done when a force is acting on an object in the direction of its displacement.
How much momentum will a dumb-bell of mass 10 kg transfer to the floor if it falls from a height of 80 cm? Take its downward acceleration to be 10 m s-2.
