    0 m/s
  • b)
    5 m/s
  • c)
    10 m/s
  • d)
    20 m/s
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Problem
When a ball is thrown vertically upwards, it will eventually stop rising due to the force of gravity acting against its motion. The problem asks for the velocity of the ball after 2 seconds of being thrown upwards with an initial velocity of 20 m/s.
Key Concepts
- Initial Velocity (u): 20 m/s (upwards)
- Acceleration due to Gravity (g): -10 m/s² (downwards)
- Time (t): 2 seconds
Velocity Calculation
To find the velocity after 2 seconds, we can use the formula:
- Final Velocity (v) = u + (g * t)
Plugging in the values:
- u = 20 m/s
- g = -10 m/s²
- t = 2 s
Now, substituting these into the formula:
- v = 20 + (-10 * 2)
Calculating further:
- v = 20 - 20
- v = 0 m/s
Conclusion
After 2 seconds, the ball reaches its highest point and its velocity becomes 0 m/s. Therefore, the answer is:
- Correct Answer: a) 0 m/s
This means that at the 2-second mark, the ball has stopped moving upwards and is at the peak of its trajectory. It will then start to fall back down due to gravity.

A vehicle is driven along a straight horizontal track by a motor which exerts a constant driving force. The vehicle starts from rest at t = 0 and the effects of the friction and air resistance are negligible. If the kinetic energy of the vehicle at time t is E and power developed by the motor is P, which of the following graphs is/are incorrect?
  • a)
    (i) and (iv) only
  • b)
    (ii) only
  • c)
    (i) only
  • d)
    (ii) and (iii) only
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Let's Tute answered
Since, force on the vehicle is constant, it will move with a constant acceleration. For particle starting from rest, velocity, v = at
∴ Graph of E versus t will be parabola of increasing slope. Thus, graph (iv) is correct.
Power associated with force is equal to, P = Fv = Fat Thus, graph of P versus t will be a straight line. Hence, graph (i) is correct. And graphs (ii) and (iii) are incorrect.

The schematic atomic structures of four elements T, U, V and W are given as :
Select the incorrect statements regarding the given elements.
I. T and V combine to form T3V type compound.
II. T and W form cations while U and V form anions.
III. U and V combine to form UV3 type compound.
IV. V will gain two electrons while W will lose one electron to form a stable compound.
V. U and W combine to form U2W type compound.
  • a)
    II, III and IV only
  • b)
    I, II, IV and V only
  • c)
    III, IV and V only
  • d)
    I, II, III and IV only
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 9 answered
(I) T and V will combine to form TV2 type compound as shown:
(II) T and U will form cations as they have 2 and 3 valence electrons respectively and can easily lose these electrons to form cations. On the other hand, V and W will form anions by accepting 1 and 2 electrons respectively in their outermost shell to attain a stable octet. (III) U and V combine to form UV3 type compound as shown:
(IV) V and W will form anions as they have 7 and 6 valence electrons respectively and hence can accept electrons to form anions. (V) U and W combine to form U2W3 type compound as shown:

Refer to the given flow chart and select the correct option regarding it.
 
  • a)
    A
  • b)
    B
  • c)
    C
  • d)
    D
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 9 answered
According to the given flow chart, P, Q, R and S are parenchyma, lateral meristem, apical meristem and intercalary meristem respectively. Parenchyma cells are cells of permanent tissue in plants that have lost the power of division. Cells of lateral meristem help to increase the width and girth of plant. Apical meristem occurs at the growing tips of roots and shoots. Intercalary meristem lies below the nodes, internodes or at the base of leaf.

Which of the following is a non-renewable source of energy?
  • a)
    Solar
  • b)
    Wind
  • c)
    Coal
  • d)
    Geothermal
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Imk Pathshala answered
Coal is a non-renewable source of energy as it takes millions of years to form and cannot be replenished within a human lifespan.

Study the given Venn diagram carefully
Which of the following statements is/are correct regarding 1, 2 and 3?
I. Point 1 represents gel like milk.
II. Point 2 represents solid foam like sponge.
III. Point 3 represents a sol type colloidal solution and it can be milk of magnesia.
IV. Point 1 can represent fog as well as milky glass.
  • a)
    II and III only
  • b)
    I only
  • c)
    II, III and IV only
  • d)
    I, II, III and IV
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Imk Pathshala answered
Milk is an emulsion, i.e., liquid in liquid type of colloid. Solid foam is a colloid in which a gas is dispersed in a solid medium e.g., sponge. Sol is a colloid in which tiny solid particles are dispersed in a liquid medium e.g., milk of magnesia.
Aerosol is a colloid in which liquid particles are dispersed in the gaseous medium e.g., fog.
Milky glass is a solid sol (solid dispersed in solid medium) and not an aerosol
