- A ball of mass 0.5 kg is dropped from a height of 10 m. The ball hits the ground and rises to a height of 1.5 m. The impulse imparted to the ball during its collision with the ground is : (Take \(g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2\))

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

- A container has two chambers of volumes \(V_1 = 2\) litres and \(V_2 = 3\) litres separated by a partition made of a thermal insulator. The chambers contain \(n_1 = 2\) moles and \(n_2 = 3\) moles of ideal gas at pressures \(p_1 = 1\) atm and \(p_2 = 2\) atm, respectively. When the partition is removed, the mixture attains an equilibrium pressure of :

Human Nervous System
The human nervous system is responsible for controlling and coordinating all the activities of the human body.
The three major functions of the human nervous system are:
- Gathering or assembling sensory information from the body and external environment.
- Processing and interpreting the sensory information acquired.
- Conveying or transferring appropriate response to the sensory information acquired.
The nervous system is mainly divided into two, namely:
The Central Nervous System (CNS) comprises the brain and spinal cord.
- The brain is majorly involved in the perception and processing of sensory input. It also regulates or manages voluntary motor responses and homeostatic mechanisms.
- The spinal cord act as a pathway for the transmission of information between the brain and the peripheral nervous system. It also takes action on reflex actions.
The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) comprises sensory/motor neurons and ganglion.
