Question 11
Which of the following, can neither be created nor be destroyed ?
The correct answer is D. Energy.
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another or transferred from one object to another.

Question 13
A mixture of sand and salt can be separated by ?
Â
The most suitable method to separate a mixture of sand and salt is C. Dissolving salt in water and then filtration.
This process involves dissolving the salt in water, which will leave behind the sand. After the salt dissolves, the mixture can be filtered. The sand will remain in the filter while the salt solution passes through, effectively separating the two components.

Question 18
A boy, of mass 50 kg, runs up a staircase of 45 steps in 10 s. If the height of each step is 14 cm, find his power. Take g= 10ms-2 ?
Given,
the mass of the body, m = 50 kg.
h is the height, t is the time.
g is the acceleration due to gravity which is aproximated to 10 m/s2 ?
h = 45 × 14 = 630 cm = 6.30 m ?
t = 10 s, g = 10 ms-2 ?
Potential Energy = mgh = 50 × 10 × 6.30 = 3150 J.
Power = PE / time = Energy / time
= 3150 / 10 = 315 watt.

Question 19
Which of the following can undergo sublimation ?
Among the options provided, Ammonium chloride (Option A) is the compound that can undergo sublimation. Sublimation is the process where a substance transitions from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid state. Ammonium chloride is known to undergo sublimation under certain conditions of temperature and pressure.

Question 20
An object of mass 13 kg is moving with a uniform velocity of 5 ms-1. What is the kinetic energy possessed by the object ?
The formula for kinetic energy (\(KE\)) is:
\[KE = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \text{mass} \times \text{velocity}^2\]
Given:
Mass (\(m\)) = 13 kg
Velocity (\(v\)) = 5 m/s
\[KE = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 13 \, \text{kg} \times (5 \, \text{m/s})^2\]\[KE = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 13 \times 25\]\[KE = \dfrac{325}{2}\]\[KE = 162.5 \, \text{J}\]
Therefore, the kinetic energy possessed by the object is 162.5 joules, which corresponds to option C.
