9 Atomic mass is the quantity of matter contained in an atom of an element. It is 4
the sum of the mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons that make up the
atom.
Carbon-12 was chosen as the reference substance because its atomic mass could
be measured accurately.
Atomic mass is expressed as a multiple of one-twelfth the mass of the carbon-
12 atom ie 1.992646547 × 10−23 gram, which is assigned an atomic mass of 12
units. The atomic mass unit is also called the unified mass (u)

10 In 1794, Joseph Proust, a French chemist formulated the law of constant 4
proportions from the work he did on sulfates, metal oxides and sulfides. Also,
this law was favored since Dalton’s atomic theory was introduced as well. The
relation between them was also discovered by Jacob Berzelius, a Swedish
chemist in the year 1811.

Directions: In each of the following questions, a statement of Assertion is 1

given, and a corresponding statement of Reason is given just below it. Of
the statements, given below, mark the correct answer as:
(a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct
explanation of assertion.
(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct
explanation of assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(d) Assertion is false and Reason are true.
7 Assertion : Universal gravitational constant G is a scalar quantity.
Reason : The value of G is same throughout the universe
8 Assertion : When distance between two bodies is doubled and also mass 1
of each body is doubled, then the gravitational force between them
remains the same.
Reason : According to Newton’s law of gravitation, force is directly
proportional to them as of bodies and inversely proportional to square of
the distance between them.
9 We know that the earth attracts every object with a certain force and this 4
force depends on the mass (m) of the object and the acceleration due to
the gravity (g). The weight of an object is the force with which it is
attracted towards the earth. Mathematically

W=mxg
Where, W= weight of object
m= mass of object
g= acceleration due to the gravitational force
As the weight of an object is the force with which it is attracted towards
the earth, the SI unit of weight is the same as that of force, that is, Newton
(N). The weight is a force acting vertically downwards; it has both
magnitude and direction. We have learnt that the value of g is constant at
a given place. Therefore, at a given place, the weight of an object is
directly proportional to the mass, say m, of the object, that is, W αm. It is
due to this reason that at a given place, we can use the weight of an object
as a measure of its mass.

 Answer the following questions.

a) Whether weight is scalar quantity or vector quantity? Justify your

answer.
b) Differentiate between mass and weight
c) Unit of acceleration due to the gravity (g) is……

Archimedes’ principle, stated as follows: When a body is immersed fully

or partially in a fluid, it experiences an upward force that is equal to the
weight of the fluid displaced by it. The upward force is known as up
thrust or buoyant force. In fact, all objects experience a force of buoyancy
when they are immersed in a fluid. The magnitude of this buoyant force
depends on the density of the fluid . Objects having density less than that
of the liquid in which they are immersed float on the surface of the liquid.
If the density of the object is more than the density of the liquid in which
it is immersed then it sinks in the liquid. Hence the body will float or sink
depending upon the difference between density of body and fluid.

a) State Archimedes’ principle.

b) Why does a cube of plastic released deep down under the water come
up to the surface of water?

c) Name the force experienced on a body which is immersed in liquid
