NEET Physics  Chapter 1 Motion Question And Answers

Question 1. What is the difference between speed and velocity?
Answer:

Difference between speed and velocity

The distance travelled per second by a body is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It does not tell the direction of motion. Speed is always positive and value of average speed is never zero.

While distance travelled per second by the moving object in the specified direction is called velocity. It is a vector quantity. Velocity tells us the speed as well as direction of motion. It can be positive as well as negative. The average velocity can be zero.

Question 2. Differentiate between acceleration and retardation.
Answer:

Difference between acceleration and retardation

The rate of change of velocity with respect to time is called acceleration. While decrease in velocity per unit time is called retardation.

Question 3. How uniform acceleration different than variable acceleration?
Answer: When equal change in velocity takes place in equal interval of time, then it is called uniform acceleration. If the change in velocity is not same in the same interval of time, then it is called variable acceleration.

Question 4. Define acceleration due to gravity.
Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity

When an object falls freely, the acceleration produced in the body due to Earth’s gravitational attraction is called acceleration due to gravity. It is denoted by letter g is its value is 9.8 m/s2.

NEET Physics  Chapter 5 Sound Questions And Answers

Question 1. Define sound.
Answer:

Sound:

A sound is a form of energy that propagates from one place to another through a medium.

Question 2. How is the sound produced?
Answer:

Sound is produced when an object vibrates. Vibration is the rapid to and fro motion of an object.

Question 3. Sound is a form of energy. Explain.
Answer:

Sound is a form of energy:

Mechanical energy is required to start vibrations in an object producing sound. The vibrations of objects are transmitted in a medium in waveforms from one point to the next and so on. These waves on reaching our ears produce vibrations in the eardrum which are perceived as sound by us. Thus, sound is a form of energy.

Question 6. What are the limitations of Thomson’s plum pudding model?
Answer.

The limitations of Thomson’s plum pudding model:

• Thomson’s plum pudding model: could not explain the result of the scattering experiment performed by Rutherford.
• Thomson’s plum pudding model: did not give any experimental evidence in its support.

Question 7. What are the observations of Rutherford’s model?
Answer.

Observations of Rutherford’s Model were:

• Most of the alpha particles pass through the foil without getting deflected, which means that most of the space inside the atom is empty.
• Some of the alpha particles were deflected by a small angle, which means that the positive charge ofthe atom occupies very little space.
• Some of the alpha particles rebound back, which means the entire positive charge and mass of the atom are concentrated in a very small volume inside an atom.

Question 8. What are the limitations of the Rutherford model?
Answer.

The limitations of Rutherford’s model were:

• Rutherford proposed that the electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed paths called orbits. But according to Maxwell, an accelerated charged particle such as an electron always emits electromagnetic radiation and this radiation would carry energy from the motion of the electron which would come at the cost of shrinking of orbits. So, the electrons would collapse in the nucleus.
• Rutherford did not say anything about the arrangement of electrons in an atom.

Question 9. Define electronic configuration.
Answer.

Electronic configuration:

The electronic configuration is an arrangement of electrons in various shells of an atom of the element.

Answer.

Atom can obtain a stable configuration, either by:

• Losing an electron
• Gaining an electron
• Sharing an electron

Question 13. What are valence electrons?
Answer.

Valence electrons:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost orbit of an atom, thus determining the valency of an atom.

Question 14. Why does Magnesium ion exist as Mg²⁺?
Answer.

Magnesium ion exists as Mg^2+.

Magnesium molecule has an electronic configuration 2,8,2. It has two electrons in its outermost orbit, so it requires six more electrons to complete its outermost orbit (M-shell). So, it will either donate its two electrons to another atom or share electrons from another atom just to complete its octet. Master your Test

Question 15. What approximation is taken while calculating the number of neutrons?
Answer.

Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass and the mass defect of nucleon binding is small as compared to the nucleon mass, the atomic mass of any atom. This approximation of mass is used to calculate the number of neutrons in an element.

Question 16. The atomic number of calcium is 20. Calculate the number of electrons and protons in calcium.
Answer.

Given

An atomic number of calcium is 20.

Since, Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons So, the number of electrons in calcium is = the 20Number of protons in calcium = 20

Question 17. The atomic mass of aluminum is 27 u and the atomic number is 13, find the number of protons and neutrons in aluminum.
Answer.

Given

The atomic mass of aluminium is 27 u and the atomic number is 13

Atomic number = 13

So, the number of protons = 13

Atomic mass (Mass number) = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Let the number of neutrons be ‘n’

27 u = 13 + n

n = 27 − 13 = 14

So, number of proton = 13 and number of neutron = 14
