numerical value.

and the number 0.0024 has 2 significant figures.
Reason:- All the non-zero digits are considered as significant
figures.
8. 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.

acceleration and velocity must be zero.
Reason : One dimensional motion is always on a straight line.

motion along a straight path is a straight
line parallel to the time axis.
Reason : In uniform motion of an object velocity increases as
the square of time elapsed.

SECTION – E ( 4 MARKS QUESTIONS )

19. CASE STUDY:-
The nature of a physical quantity is described by its
dimensions. All the physical quantities represented by derived
units can be expressed in terms of some combination of seven
fundamental or base quantities. We shall call these base
quantities as the seven dimensions of the physical world, which
are denoted with square brackets [ ]. Thus, length has the
dimension [L], mass [M], time [T], electric current [A],
thermodynamic temperature [K], luminous intensity [cd], and
amount of substance [mol]. The dimensions of a physical
quantity are the powers (or exponents) to which the base
quantities are raised to represent that quantity. Note that
using the square brackets [ ] round a quantity means that we
are dealing with ‘the dimensions of’ the quantity. In
mechanics, all the physical quantities can be written in terms
of the dimensions [L], [M] and [T].

(a) Angle

following is correct:-

Temperature

Acceleration due to gravity, M = Mass
(c) v = √T/ m , where v= velocity, T = Tension, m = Mass

acceleration if its velocity changes by equal amount in

may be. A particle is moving with uniform acceleration in
