Section -E (4×2=8 marks)
24. Read the following paragraph and answer the following
questions.
The centre of mass of a body or a system of bodies is the point which
moves as though all of the mass were concentrated there and all
external forces were applied to it. Hence, a point at which the entire
mass of the body or system of bodies is supposed to be concentrated
is known as the centre of mass.
If a system consists of more than one particle (or bodies) and net
external force on the system in a particular direction is zero with
centre of mass at rest. Then, the centre of mass will not move along
that direction. Even though some particles of the system may move
along that direction.
i )Two bodies of masses 1 kg and 2 kg are lying in xy-plane at (-1,
2) and (2, 4), respectively. What are the coordinates of the centre
of mass?
(ii) Two balls of same masses start moving towards each other due
to gravitational attraction, if the initial distance between them is
L. Then, they meet at _____.

distance between them
(a) in inverse ratio of square of masses of particles
(b) in direct ratio of square of masses of particles
(c) in inverse ratio of masses of particles
(d) in direct ratio of masses of particles
(iv) Two particles A and B initially at rest move towards each
other under a mutual force of attraction. At the instant, when the
speed of A is v and the speed of B is 2v, the speed of centre of mass
of the system is
(a) zero (b) v (c) 1.5 v (d) 3v
25. Read the following paragraph and answer the following
questions.
All bodies emit heat energy from their surface by virtue of their
temperature. This heat energy is called radiant energy or thermal
radiation. The heat that we receive from the sun is transferred to us by
a process which, unlike conduction and convection, does not require
the help of a medium in intervening space which is almost free of
particles. Radiant energy travels in space as electromagnetic waves in
the infra-red region of electromagnetic spectrum. They exhibit the
phenomenon of interference, diffraction, and polarization as light
does.
The emission of radiation from a hot body is expressed in terms of
that emitted from a reference body (called the black body) at the same
temperature. A black body absorbs and emits radiations of all
wavelengths. The total energy E emitted by a unit area of a black
body per second is given by E = σT4
Where T – is absolute temperature of the body and a is Stefan’s
constant, if the body is not the perfect black body, then E = εσT4
, where ε Is the emissivity of the body.
(i) Determine the dimensions of Stefan’s constant a from Stefan –
Boltzman law.

(ii) What is S.I unit of Stefan’s constant?

(iii) When a body A at a higher temperature T1 is surrounded by

another body B at a lower temperature T2. Write the
relation between the rate of loss of heat from body A and
temperature.

(iv) On what factor does the rate at which energy is radiated by a

body depends?
