Question 5.
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.
Answer:
Electrostatic force is responsible for this phenomenon. The two balls have similar charges,
that’s why they move away due to repulsion between them.

Question 6.
How does an applied force changes the speed of an

force. Answer:

Force that can be applied only when it is in The force exerted on an object without
contact with an object is called a contact touching it is known as non-contact force,

Question 2.
De ne the different types of
forces. Answer:
Force can act on a body from a distance or by being in contact with it. Depending on this,
forces can be classi ed as contact and non-contact forces.

Contact forces: When force is applied on an object by direct or indirect physical

contact the applied force is called contact force. Muscular and frictional force are
Physicsof contact force.
example
textbook
Muscular force: The force resulting due to the action of muscles is known as the
muscular force.
Frictional force: The force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, uid
layers, and material elements sliding against each other.
Non-contact forces: When a force is applied to an object by another body that is not
in direct contact with it is called non-contact force. Gravitational, magnetic and
electrostatic force are example of non- contact force.
Gravitational force: The attractive force of the earth which acts upon all the objects
is known as the force of gravity or just gravity.
Electrostatic force: The force exerted by a charged body on another charged or
uncharged 1 body is known as electrostatic force.
Magnetic force: The force exerted between a magnet and other magnet or
magnetic material is known as magnetic force.

Question 3.
Why it is easier to walk on soft sand if we have at shoes rather than shoes with sharp
heels (or pencil heels)?
Answer:
A at shoe has a greater area in contact with the soft sand and exerts less pressure on Powered by
the soft ground. Due to this the ‘ at’ shoes do not sink much in soft sand and it is easy
to walk on it. On the other hand, a sharp heel has a small area in contact with the soft
sand and exerts a greater pressure on the sand. Due to this, the sharp heels sink deep into
soft sand making it di cult for the wearer to walk on it.

Question 4.
What is pressure? What is the relation of pressure with area on which it is
applied? Answer:
Force exerted on per unit area is called pressure. Pressure is related with area on which it is
applied. When the area is increased the pressure exerted is less. But when the area on which
pressure is exerted is decrease the pressure increases. So we can conclude that pressure
increases with decrease in area. List the characteristics of pressure exerted by a liquid.
 Liquid exerts pressure in all

Question 1.
We know that there is a huge amount of atmospheric pressure on us. But we do not
experience its effect why?
Answer:
The pressure of air inside our body is same as that of the atmosphere. Therefore, we do not
experience its effect.

Question 2.
Why do sea divers wear specially designed
suits? Answer:
Since the pressure of liquid increases with the increasing depth of sea. Specially designed
suits protect scuba divers from the huge pressure of the water underneath.

Question 3.
Two persons are applying forces on two opposite sides of a moving cart. The cart still
moves with the same speed in the same direction. What do you infer about the
magnitudes and direction of the forces applied?
Answer:
Both the persons are applying forces from opposite direction with equal magnitudes.

Question 4.
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.
Answer:
The initial force is muscular force which sets the arrow in motion. The force of gravity that
acts on the arrow in the downward direction brings it to the ground.

Question 5.
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? Answer:
Rod A will go deeper as it has a smaller area of contact, therefore the same force produces
more pres¬sure. In case of rod B the same force produces less pressure.

Question 6.
It is di cult to cut cloth using a pair of scissors with blunt blades.
Explain. Answer:
Blunt blades have larger area compared to the sharp-edged blades. Thus, the applied force
produces a lower pressure in case of blunt blades, which makes it di cult to cut the
cloth.

Question 1.
On Lokesh’s birthday Shreya was given charge to amuse children with some little tricks.
Shreya sticked balloons to the wall by just rubbing them in her clothes. She bent the
water stream from a tap without touching it. She did so by bringing big balloon near to
the owing water. All children were very happy on seeing this little magic. Everybody
praised Shreya.

How do balloons stick to walls?

How Shreya bent the water stream by bringing a big balloon near it and without
touching it? What values of Shreya is shown here?

Answer:

On rubbing the balloon with hair or clothes, it acquire negative charges. The negative
charges are attracted to the positive charges on the wall and balloon sticks to
the wall.
Negative charge on the balloon attracts positive charge on water molecules. Thus,
bent the water molecules.
Shreya is dutiful, friendly with scienti c aptitude.

the other from the top. Now gently put the stool on the sand bed with its legs resting on the
sand. Increase the size of sand bed if required. Now put a load, say a school bag full of
books, on the seat of the stool. Mark the level of sand on the graph strip. This would give

you the depth, if any, to which the legs of stool sink in sand. Next, turn the stool upside down
so that now it rests on its seat on the sand bed. Note the depth to which the stool sinks
now. Next, put the same load on the stool and note the depth to which it sinks in the sand.
Compare the pressure exerted by the stool in the two situations.
Answer:
Pressure exerted by the stool is greatest in rst situation.

Question 2.
Take a tumbler and ll it with water. Cover the mouth of the tumbler with a thick card
simi¬lar to that of a postcard. Hold the tumbler with one hand while keeping the card

the card pressed to its mouth. Make sure that the tumbler is held vertical. Gently remove the
hand pressing the card. What do you observe? Does the card get detached allowing the
water to spill? With a little practice you will nd that the card continues to hold water in the
tumbler even after it is not supported by your hand. Also try this activity by using a
piece of cloth to
hold the tumbler in an upside down position (Fig.
