Grade 8 UT 1 Revision Worksheet

Answer key
1. Define force. Give it SI unit.
Force is a push or pull on an object that can cause it to change its state of motion.
SI unit: Newton (N)
2. What are the effects of forces? Explain each with one example.
 Change in speed: (e.g., a bicycle accelerates when pedaled)
 Change in direction: A cricket ball hit with a bat changes direction.
 Change in shape: Pressing clay changes its shape.
 Change in state(start/stop): A football at rest starts moving when kicked.
3. Define the following forces:
a) Magnetic force: The force exerted by a magnet on magnetic materials like iron,
nickel, or cobalt.
b) Gravitational force: The force with which Earth attracts all objects toward its
center.
4. Balloon sticks to the wall after rubbing. What force is responsible? Define it.
The electrostatic force is responsible. It is the force exerted by electrically charged
objects on each other or the force exerted between charged and uncharged
particles.
5. Differentiate between:
a) Contact and non-contact forces:
 Contact force: Force that requires physical contact (e.g., muscular force).
 Non-contact force: Force that acts from a distance without physical contact
(e.g., gravitational force).
b) Balanced and unbalanced forces:
 Balanced: Equal and opposite forces that do not change motion.
Net force is equal to zero.
 Unbalanced: Forces that are not equal and cause a change in motion.
Net force is not equal to zero.
6. Two boys apply equal forces on opposite sides of a cart. It moves with same
speed and direction. What does this infer?
The forces applied are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
Since they cancel each other, the net force is zero.
Thus, the cart continues moving at the same speed (balanced forces).
7. Tug of war: Side A = 15N, Side B = 88N.
Rope moves towards Side B (stronger force).
Net force = 88N - 15N = 73N towards Side B.
8. a) Define pressure. Give SI unit.
Pressure is the perpendicular force applied per unit area.
SI unit: Pascal (Pa) or N/m2
b) Pressure = Force / Area = 1000 N / 2 m² = 500 Pa
If the area is doubled, pressure becomes 500 / 2 = 250 Pa
The pressure is reduced to half.
9. Area required for 200 N force to produce 1000 Pa pressure:
Area = Force / Pressure = 200 N / 1000 Pa = 0.2 m²
10. Give reason:
a) Caterpillar tracks in tanks: They increase the area of contact, reducing pressure
on the ground, preventing sinking.
b) Broad straps on bags: They spread the load over a larger area, reducing
pressure on the shoulder.
11. Why does liquid exert pressure? How does it vary in depth?
Liquids exert pressure due to the weight of the liquid above.
Pressure increases with depth. As depth increases, more liquid presses down, so
pressure increases. This is why dams are thicker at the bottom.
12. Why do deep-sea divers wear special suits?
Water pressure increases with depth and can harm the body.
Special suits protect divers by resisting the pressure.
They also help maintain body temperature and breathing.
13. Compare pressure at each point of the container.
Pressure is equal at the same depth and increases with increasing depth.
So, the pressure is minimum at point A and maximum at point c.
14. Name of instrument to measure liquid pressure and how it works:
Manometer is used to measure liquid pressure.
It works by comparing the height of a liquid column in a U-tube.
The difference in height shows the pressure exerted by the liquid.
