6.	C2. Interpret the following quote in the light of the extract of the novel, ‘Around theWorld in Eighty Days’: ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit’.
Answer» Hardships are a part and parcel of life. Those, who give up too easily when things get tough, can never achieve their goals. On the other hand, those who continue to strive hard, without being bogged down by difficult situations, are always successful. Fogg’s objective of completing a trip around the world in eighty days is a highly ambitious one. The journey is long, arduous, and full of dangerous situations and seemingly insurmountable obstacles. However, no matter what comes his way, Fogg does not give up; instead, he continues to believe in himself, keeps working towards his goal, and eventually wins the bet. Thus, the message conveyed by the quote is to not be discouraged by difficult situations; because those who quit can never attain their goals, while those who are determined and keep working will always succeed in the end.

A body of mass 20kg is initially at a height of 3m above the ground. It is lifted to a height of 2m from that position. Its increase in potential energy is

Answer»

Mass, m = 20kg

Height m, H = 3m

Potential Energy, (PE₁) = mgH

PE₁ = 20 x 9.8 x 3

PE₁ = 588 joules

Now Height (h) is 5m (3m + 2m)
