Circular Motion A uniform circular motion is the motion of an object
travelling at a constant (uniform) speed along a circular path.
Centripetal force is the force required to move a body uniformly in a circle.
This force acts along the radius and towards the centre of the circle. This
direction of motion of the body moving in a circle goes on changing
continuously. According to Newton’s first Law of motion, a body cannot
change its direction of motion by itself. An external force is required for this
purpose which is called as centripetal force.
On account of continuous change in the direction of motion of the body, there
is change in the velocity of the body, and hence it undergoes acceleration,
called centripetal acceleration or radial acceleration.
The expression for centripetal acceleration is a = v²/r = rω²
where v is linear velocity, ω is angular velocity of the body and r is the radius
of the circular path.
As F = m a, therefore,
Centripetal force = mass * centripetal acceleration
i.e. F = mv²/r = mrω²
As stated earlier, the centripetal force acts along the radius and towards the
centre of the circle. This centripetal acceleration/force changes direction
continually as the body moves.
Answer the following questions based on the given concept:
1. A bucket containing water is rotated in a vertical circle. Explain why water
does not fall.
2. What is the source of centripetal force, when an electron revolves around
the nucleus?
3. Find the acceleration of a train at 40 m/s as it goes round a curve of 160 m
in radius.
NOTE
Centripetal does not denote a new and a separate kind of force created by
nature. It is simply the name given to the net force pointing towards the centre
of circular path. It is the vector sum of all the force components pointing
along the radial direction.

• Project On Exploring Fibonacci Numbers
• Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of a numbers. i.e 1, 1, 2,
3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34... -The first number of the sequence is 1, the
 second number is 1, and next term is equal to the sum of the
previous two numbers of the sequence itself.
• Write the next 20 terms of the sequence generated by it.
• History of the mathematician who gave this concept.
• Explore in nature the things that correspond to Fibonacci numbers
with pictures. For example: When counting the number of petals of a
flower, it is most probable that they will correspond to one of the
Fibonacci Numbers. It is seen that:
• a) White calla lily has one petal
• b) Euphorbia have two petals
• c) Trillium have three petals
• d) Columbine have 5 petals
• Explore more such examples with pictures from internet.(give atleast
8 examples)

ECONOMICS Guidelines for Project Work in Economics (Class XI)
The objectives of the project work are to enable learners to:
• probe deeper into theoretical concepts learnt in classes and XI
 • analyse and evaluate real world economic scenarios using theoretical constructs and
arguments
• demonstrate the learning of economic theory
• follow up aspects of economics in which learners have interest
• develop the communication skills to argue logically
The expectations of the project work are that:
• learners will complete only ONE project in each academic session
• project should be of 3,500-4,000 words (excluding diagrams & graphs), preferably
hand-written
• it will be an independent, self-directed piece of study
Role of the teacher: The teacher plays a critical role in developing thinking skills of the
learners. A teacher should:
• help each learner select the topic based on recently published extracts from the news
media, government policies, RBI bulletin, NITI Aayog reports, IMF/World Bank reports
etc., after detailed discussions and deliberations of the topic
• play the role of a facilitator and supervisor to monitor the project work of the learner
through periodic discussions
• guide the research work in terms of sources for the relevant data
• educate learner about plagiarism and the importance of quoting the source of the
information to ensure authenticity of research work
• prepare the learner for the presentation of the project work
• arrange a presentation of the project file
Scope of the project:
Learners may work upon the following lines as a suggested flow chart:

Expected Checklist:
• Introduction of topic/title
• Identifying the causes, consequences and/or remedies
• Various stakeholders and effect on each of them
• Advantages and disadvantages of situations or issues identified

of research
• Validity, reliability, appropriateness and relevance of data used for research work and
for presentation in the project file
• Presentation and writing that is succinct and coherent in project file
• Citation of the materials referred to, in the file in footnotes, resources section,
bibliography etc.
Mode of presentation/submission of the Project:
At the end of the stipulated term, each learner will present the research work in the
Project File to the External and Internal examiner. The questions should be asked from the
Research Work/ Project File of the learner. The Internal Examiner should ensure that the
study submitted by the learner is his/her own original work. In case of any doubt,
authenticity should be checked and verified.

 HOLIDAY HOMEWORK
CLASS-XII

ENGLISH Summer is around the corner and it translates into plenty of leisure time to
pursue your favorite activities! To inculcate a healthy reading habit and be at
par with peers, the 21st century learner needs to brace up to the challenges
…reading enables you to do just that!
• It’s observed that students who read independently become better
readers, score higher on achievement tests in all subject areas, and have
greater content knowledge than those who do not.
• Multiple studies support that even a small amount of independent
reading increases reading comprehension, vocabulary growth, spelling
facility, understanding of grammar, and knowledge of the world
• Students who read independently become better readers, score
higher on achievement tests in all subject areas, and have greater
content knowledge than those who do not…
Here is a reading list for you.
1. To kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
2. Kite Runner - Khaleed Hosseini
Now, select a book from the list and attempt any 2 of the activities
mentioned below:
a. Heroes and Superheroes: Select two or three people your character
would think as a hero or superhero. Describe the characteristics of the
hero and why those characteristics would be important to your character.
Also describe which characteristics your character would most want for
himself/herself that the hero or superhero possesses.
b. Create a poem/short story (300-400 words) based on the theme of the
novel for your school magazine
c. Design a crossword based on the character, plot and incidents
d. Create a childhood for a character: If your main character is an adult, try
to figure out what he or she would have been like as a child. Write the
story of his or her childhood in such a way that shows why he or she is the
way he or she is in the novel.
