Class 8 - Science Test Force and Pressure

This document contains a science test with 20 multiple choice questions covering the topics of force and pressure. The questions assess understanding of concepts like atmospheric pressure, the force of gravity, friction, pressure, and how pressure is calculated as force per unit area. They also apply these concepts in examples involving parachutes, thermocol balls, walking on sand, scuba diving, arrows in flight, rods sinking in sand, and more.

CLASS - 8 SCIENCE TEST

CH - FORCE AND PRESSURE


Section 1
Q1. What is the name of the instrument used to measure atmospheric
pressure?
Q2. Define pressure.
Q3. Which force is responsible for downward movement of a
parachutes? Will he come down with the same speed without the
parachute? Why? Why not?
Q4. Two thermocol balls held close to each other move away from
each other. When they are released, name the force which might be
responsible for this phenomenon. Explain.
Q5. Define the different types of forces.?
Q6. Why it is easier to walk on soft sand if we have flat shoes rather
than shoes with sharp heels (or pencil heels)?
Q7. We know that there is a huge amount of atmospheric pressure on
us. But we do not experience its effect why?
Q8. Why do sea divers wear specially design suits? Explain.
Q9. An archer shoots an arrow in the air horizontally. However, after
moving some distance, the arrow falls to the ground. Name the initial
force that sets the arrow in motion. Explain why the arrow ultimately
falls down.
Q10. Two rods: A and B, having same weight and equal length have
different thickness. Rod A is thinner while Rod B is thicker. They are
held vertically on the surface of sand. Which one of them will sink
more? Why?
