1. Why sand is provided for high jumpers to fall on in place of hard ground

a. Because sand is cooler than the hard ground.

b. Because sand is hotter than the hard ground.

c. Because the jumper can penetrate some distance before commg to rest.

d. Because of none of these.

2. The value of acceleration due to gravity changes with

a. latitude.

b. depth.

c. altitude.

d. all of these.

3. Why does a ship made of steel float though a steel ball sinks

a. Because ship is propelled by an engine,.

b. In the case of ship. action and reaction are equal and opposite whereas in,case of ball action is greater than reaction.

c. The force of gravitation between the earth and the ship is ,enough to keep ship stable. In the case of ball, this force is so. small ~that the ball cannot be stable.

d. Because weight of water displaced by a ball is less than its own weight, while the weight of water displaced by a ship is greatm than its own weight.

4. Which of the following changes can be brought about by the, application of a force ?

a. Change in the state of rest of a body.

b. Change in the state of motion of a body.

c. Both of these.

d. None of these.

5. What is a radian ?

a. It is a unit of distance.

b. It is an angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc whose length is equal to the radius of that circle.

c. It is an angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an are whose length is equal to the diameter of that circle.

d. It is an angle subtended at the centre of a circle by that circle itself.

6. When a ball is set rolling on the ground, it stops after, sometimeWhich of the following opposes the motion of the ball ?

a. Resistance due to air.

b. Force of friction between the ball and the ground.

c. Both of these.

d. None of these.

7. How does the Pouring of kerosene oil on stagnant water help to eradicate malaria ?

a. Kerosene oil kills ffies.

b. The smell of kerosene oil keeps away mosquitoes.

c. Kerosene oil poisons the water.

d. Kerosene oil spreads on the surface of water and forms a fine layer. Thus, mosquitoes cannot lay their eggs on water.

8. The total quantity of motion contained in a body is given by its

a. speed.

b. velocity,

c. momentum.

d. mass.

9. The force of attraction between any two bodies in this universe is known as

a. force of gravity.

b. force of gravitation.

c. centripetal force.

d. centrifugal force.

10. A brick and a coin are released from the same height, at the same time, in vacuum. Which will hit the ground first ?

a. The brick will hit the ground first.

b. The coin will hit the ground first.

c. Both will hit the ground at the same time.

d. Both will never hit the ground.
