15. Assertion : A body may be accelerated even when it is moving uniformly.

Reason : When direction of motion of the body is changing, the body must have
acceleration.

Reason : If a force applied on a body displaces the body along the direction of force
work done will be maximum.

SECTION E

34. System of units: A system of units is a collection of units in which certain units are
chosen as fundamental and all others are derived from them. This system is also called
an absolute system of units. Some common systems in use are:

c.g.s system: The unit of length is centimetre, mass is gram, time is secong.

m.k.s system: The unit of length is metre, mass is kilogram, time is second.

f.p.s system: The unit of length is foot, mass is pound, time is second.

S.I. system: In 1960, 11th General Conference of Weights and Measures introduced SI
system. It has 7 fundamental units ( Unit of length is metre, mass is kilogram, Time is
second, Temperature is Kelvin, Electric current is Ampere, Luminous intensity is
Candela, Amount of substance is mol) and two supplementary units (Unit of plane
angle is radian, solid angle is steradian)

2. The weight of a body is 12g. This statement is not correct because

(a) The correct symbol for the unit of weight has not been used.

b) The correct symbol for gram is gm.

(c) The weight should be expressed in kg.

d) Of some reason other than those given above.

3. If the unit of force and length are doubled, the unit of energy will be

(a) 1/2 times (c) 4 times (b) 2 times (d) 1/4 times

4. The density of a liquid is 13.6 g cm-3. Its value ip S.I. is

35. According to Newton’s second law of motion, F=ma, where F is force required to
produce an acceleration a in a body of mass m. if a =0, then F=0 i.e. no external force
is required to move a body uniformly along a straight line. If a force act on a body for
t seconds, the effect of force is given by impulse = F x t = change in linear momentum
of body.With the help of passage given above, chose the appropriate alternative for
