A boy standing on a stationary lift (open from above) throws a ball upwards with the maximum initial speed he can, equal to 49 m s-1. How much time does the ball take to return to his hands? If the lift starts moving up with a uniform speed of 5 m s-1 and the boy again throws the ball up with the maximum speed he can, how long does the ball take to return to his hands?

A player throws a ball upwards with an initial speed of 29.4ms ?1 . (a) What is the direction of acceleration during the upward motion of the ball ? (b) What are the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the highest point of its motion ? (c) Choose x = 0 m and t = 0 s to be the location and time of the ball at its highest point, vertically downward direction to be the positive direction of x-axis, and give the signs of position, velocity and acceleration of the ball during its upward, and downward motion. (d) To what height does the ball rise and after how long does the ball return to the players hands ? (Take g=9.8m/s 2 and neglect air resistance).

For the following statements, write T for True and F for False. (a) J.J. Thomson proposed that the nucleus of an atom contains only nucleons. (b) A neutron is formed by an electron and a proton combining together. Therefore, it is neutral. (c) The mass of an electron is about 1/2000 times that of proton. (d) An isotope of iodine is used for making tincture iodine, which is used as a medicine.

General electronic configuration of outermost and penultimate shell of an atom is (n-1)s^{2} (n-1)p^{6} (n -1)d^{x} ns^{2} . If n=4  the number of proton in the nucleus is
