SECTION III
Linked Comprehension Type
This section contains 2 paragraphs P13 P18. Based upon each paragraph, 4 multiple choice
questions have to be answered. Each question has 4 choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which
ONLY ONE choice is correct.
Passage-I
The task of the seatbelt is to stop you with the car so that your stopping distance is probably
4 or 5 times greater than if you had no seatbelt. A crash which stops the car and driver must
take away all its kinetic energy and the work energy principle then dictates that a longer
stopping distance decreases the impact force. For the example, in car crash scenario if the

stopping distance is d for a car moving with a speed v, the average force of impact can be
estimated by
Total work done = change in kinetic energy

1 2
where m is the mass of the driver.
mv

A moderate amount of stretch in the seatbelt will reduce the average impact force. A
moderate amount of stretch in a seatbelt harness can extend the stopping distance and
reduce the average impact force on the driver compared to a non-stretching harness. If the
belt is stretched by same length, it would reduce the deceleration by some amount. So
either a stretching or non stretching seatbelt reduces the impact force compared to no
seatbelt.
Favgd = 0 -

With no seat belt to stop the driver with the car, the driver flies free until stopped suddenly
by impact on the stearing column, windshield etc. The stopping distance is estimated to be
about one fifth of that with a seatbelt, causing the average impact force on the driver to be
five times as great. The work done to stop the driver is equal to the average impact force on
the driver times the distance travelled in stopping. A crash which stops the car and driver
must take away all its kinetic energy and the work energy principle then dictates that a
shorter stopping distance increases the impact force.
Answer the following questions in view of above passage:
For a car crash scenario, where a car stops in 30 cm from a speed of 54 kmph, what is the
force on the driver? Assume mass of the driver is 70 kg.

This section contains 2 questions. Each question contains statements given in two columns
which have to be matched. Statements (A), (B), (C), (D) in Column I have to be matched
with statements (1, 2, 3, 4) in Column II. One statement in first column has one or more than
one match with the statements in second column. The answers to these questions have to be
appropriately bubbled as illustrated in the following example.
If the correct matches are A 1,3, B 3, C 2,3 and D 2,4, then the correctly bubbled

Two vessels A and B, thermally insulated, contain an ideal monoatomic gas. A small tube
fitted with a valve connects these vessels. Initially the vessel A has 2 litres of gas at 300 K
and 2 105 N/m2 pressure while vessel B has 4 litres of gas at 350 K and 4 105 N/m2
pressure. The valve is now opened and the system reaches equilibrium in pressure and
temperature. Calculate the new pressure and temperature.
