TUTOR MARKED ASSIGNMENT
Max. Marks : 20
(i)
All questions are compulsory. The marks allowed for each question are given
against it.
Note:
(ii)
Write your name, enrolment number, AI name and subject on the top of the first
page of the answer sheet.
Answer any one of the following questions in about 40 to 60 words.
(a)
When a piece of paper and a coin are dropped from the same height simultaneously. The coin
reaches the ground first and paper takes some times in reaching to the ground. It we crumple
up the piece of paper in the form of a ball and let the two drop from the same height again they
reach the ground almost at the same time. Explain the science behind this activity.
(See Lesson-11)
(b)

500C
100g
80 Cal/g
1 Cal g–1 /0C–1
4.2 J Cal–1
100g ice at 00C is uniformaly heated to convert it into water at 500C. Calculate the amount of
heat taken by ice and water in joules.
(Science & Technology)
17
Given: Latent heat of fusion of ice = 80 Calorie / g
Specific thermal capacity of water = 1 Calorie g–1 0C–1
1 Calorie = 4.2 J/Cal.
(See Lesson-14)

(See Lesson-31)
(b)
Name the type of cell division in which four daughter cells are formed from one mother cell in
the and state two points of difference between this cell division and the other kind in which one
parent cell gives rise to two daughter cells.
