...Physics (www.tiwariacademy.com) (Chapter 1 and 2)(Physical World, Units and Measurements) (Class 11) Very Short Answer Type Questions (1 mark each) Question 1: State one law that holds good in all natural processes. Answer 1: One such laws is the Newton’s gravitation law, According to this law everybody in this nature are attracts with other body with a force of attraction which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportionally to the square of the distance between them. Question 2: Among which type of elementary particles does the electromagnetic force act? Answer 2: Electromagnetic force acts between on all electrically charged particles. Question 3: Name the forces having the longest and shortest range of operation. Answer 3: Longest range force is gravitational force and nuclear force is shortest range force. Question 4: If ‘slap’ times speed equals power, what will be the dimensional equation for ‘slap’? Answer 4: Slap × speed = power Or slap = power/speed = [MLT-2] Question 5: If the units of force and length each are doubled, then how many times the unit of energy would be affected?

...Name Date Partners HOMEWORK FOR UNIT 5-1: FORCE AND MOTION 1. You are given ten identical springs. Describe how you would develop a scale of force (ie., a means of producing repeatable forces of a variety of sizes) using these springs. Decide on an extension length of the spring for which one spring extended by this length exerts one unit of force on the object to which it is attached. Two springs both connected to the object, pulling in parallel and both extended by this length would exert two units of force and so forth up to 10 units of force for 10 springs, extended by the standard length, all connected to the object and all pulling in the same direction. 2. Describe how you would use a force probe and the springs in (1) to develop a quantitative scale of force. Connect the springs to the hook on the force probe. Use these springs to calibrate the probe. One spring stretched to the predetermined length would correspond to 1 unit during the calibration procedure, 5 springs, in parallel pulled o the standard length would be entered as 5 units. The force probe should then be calibrated quantitatively to measure any force within its range in terms of the spring units. 3. What is meant by a proportional relationship? Is this the same as a linear relationship? Explain. “proportional” means that the dependent variable is a constant multiple, either positive or negative, of the independent variable. “Linear”means that the dependent variable is a...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study In any educational system there are three primary aspects of the learning-teaching process which are geared towards its end goal- that of growth and progress in knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes of the students. First, educational goals are established either implicitly or explicitly. Secondly, learning experiences are designed to carry out the attainment of the goals. Finally, an evaluation is conducted to determine the extent to which the objectives have been established. This evaluation aspect has become the focus of study in the educational field. Evaluation involves the summing-up processes in which value judgments play a large part, as in grading and promoting students. Most educators considered that a school’s main business is promoting growth towards desirable and societal objectives; fewer agree on who should judge the desirability of these objectives. However, since all schools focus on student progress as the ultimate criterion, it is important to evaluate the status and gains of students expertly. If our evaluation procedures are poor, then the quality of the information on which we make judgments can not be adequate. Measurement and evaluation are indispensable to the growth of scientific education. They encompass judgments made by teachers and administrators. An important phase of this educational process involves the construction, administration, and scoring of tests. Before it is possible...

...as thermal energyand the transfer of thermal energy is commonly referred to as heat. Heat always flows from regions of higher temperature to regions of lower temperature. English language speakers refer to an object of low temperature as being cold, and associate various degrees of higher temperature to terms such as luke-warm, warm, hot, and others. Historically, two equivalent concepts of temperature have developed, the thermodynamic description and a microscopic explanation based on statistical physics. Since thermodynamics deals entirely with macroscopic measurements, the thermodynamic definition of temperature, first stated by Lord Kelvin, is stated entirely in empirical, measurable variables. Statistical physics provides a deeper understanding of thermodynamics by describing matter as a collection of a large number of particles, and derives thermodynamic (i.e. macroscopic) parameters as statistical averages of the microscopic parameters of the particles. In statistical physics, it is shown that the thermodynamic definition of temperature can be interpreted as a measure of the average energy in each degree of freedom of the particles in the thermodynamic system. Because its temperature is seen as a statistical property, a system must contain a large number of particles for temperature to have a useful...

Chapter 2 Theory Motion: In physics, motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time. Motion is typically described in terms of velocity, acceleration, displacement, and time. Motion is observed by attaching a frame of reference to a body and measuring its change in position relative to another reference frame. A body which does not move is said to be at rest, motionless, immobile, stationary, or to have constant (time-invariant) position. An object's motion cannot change unless it is acted upon by a force, as described by Newton's first law. An object's momentum is directly related to the object's mass and velocity, and the total momentum of all objects in...
