Class X Physics Exam Paper

This document outlines the structure and content of a physics exam for class 10. It has 3 sections: Section A with short answer questions, Section B with short answer questions requiring calculations, and Section C with long answer questions. Section A contains 10 questions testing knowledge of various physicists' contributions, physics laws, definitions, and differences between terms. Section B has calculation-based short questions on converting units, resolving forces, orbital velocity, mirror images, energy, acceleration, gravitational force, and centripetal acceleration. Section C requires long answers deriving expressions for change in 'g' with altitude, the second law of motion, the mirror equation, and mechanical advantage, along with questions on acceleration and tension in a pulley system and resolving
