19. Draw a phylogenetic tree to show the natural or

relationship among various animal phyla. [3] (a) Why did Rutherford select a gold foil in his alpha
Ans : scattering experiments?
(b) Mention any two drawbacks of Rutherford’s model.
Ans :
(a) Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment
because gold is the most malleable metal and
he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The
gold sheet used was around 1000 atoms thick.
Therefore, Rutherford selected a gold foil in his
alpha scattering experiment.
(b) Drawbacks of Rutherford’s model of atom :
Rutherford proposed that electrons revolve at a
high speed in circular orbits around the positively
charged nucleus. When a charged particle i.e.,
electron revolves around positively charge
nucleus, it needs to be accelerated so as to keep
it moving in circular orbits. However, according
to electromagnetic theory, whenever a charged
particle such as an electron is accelerated around
another charged centre (nucleus) which are under
force of attraction, there will be continuous
radiation of energy. This loss of energy would slow
down the speed of the electron. This would reduce

21. (a) Describe an activity to demonstrate balanced
forces.
(b) Why is it advised to wear a seat belt in a moving
car? [3]
Ans :
(a) Consider some children pushing a heavy box on a
rough surface with some force.
(i) The box does not move due to the friction
between the surface and the box, which
balances the applied force.
(ii) The applied force is still increased but the
friction again balances with the applied
force.
(iii) When the box is pushed with still a greater
force, the applied force becomes greater than
the frictional force. The force acting on box
is unbalanced and the box moves.
(b) It is advice to wear a seat belt while driving or
while sitting in a moving car because as car is
in motion so due to inertia our body is also in
motion and if car stops then due to inertia of
motion of body our body pushed forward and
the person become injured. So to prevent injuries
