1 The sound of spraying deodorant travels through the vibrations of air layers so it reaches first. But the fragrance of deodorant reaches the other person through actual movement of air particles, therefore takes more time. 1 15.(a) Work done on an object is defined as the magnitude of the force acting on the object multiplied by the distance moved by the object in the direction of the applied force. .·.Work (W) =constant force applied (F) x Displacement along the direction of force (s). 1 (b) SI unit of work is 1 joule (1J or 1Nm). Work is said to be 1 joule if under the influence of a force of 1N the object moves through a distance of 1m along the direction of applied force. 1 (c )Work is considered positive if the displacement of the object is along the direction of force applied. On the other hand, work is taken as negative if the displacement of the object is in the direction of force applied. As an example, work done by a man is taken positive when he moves from ground floor to second floor of his house. But work done by the same man is negative when he is descending from second floor of house to ground floor. 1

16.SONAR system consists of a transmitter and a detector and is installed on a ship or motorboat. The transmitter produces and transmits ultrasonic waves. 1 These waves travel through water and strike the object under water on the sea bed. The object reflects these waves and are sensed by the detector. The detector converts the ultrasonic waves into electrical signals. If d be the depth of the said object and v be the velocity of the ultrasonic waves in water, then the time interval between transmission and reception of ultrasonic waves will be t = 2d/v 1 By knowing the time t we can find the value of d. SONAR technique is used to determine the depth of the sea and to locate underwater hills, valleys, etc.

Ans.22 (i) In HIV infection, the virus goes to the immune system and damages its function by attacking cells of immune system (T-cells). Gradual decrease in their number weakens our immune system. Our body can then no longer fight off the many minor infections that we face everyday. 1 Instead, every small cold can become pneumonia; minor gut infection can produce major diarrhoea with blood loss. Ultimately, these other infections kill the people suffering from HIV-AlDS. (ii)
