Total Questions : 56 | Page 2 of 6 pages
Question 11. The SI unit of pressure is:
  1.    newton
  2.    pascal
  3.    watt
  4.    newton metre
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> pascal
:
B
The SI unit of pressure is pascal (Pa).
1Pa=1N/m2
Question 12. The force acting on a body can change its shape.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    The block will move towards east.
  4.    The block will move towards west.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
If a force is appliedto a body, the shape of the body can change. For example, the length of an elastic band changes if it is pulled from both ends.
Question 13. What action is being applied by the character on the rope shown below while hanging upside down?
What Action Is Being Applied By The Character On The Rope Sh...
  1.    Push
  2.    Pull
  3.    Both push and pull
  4.    Neither push nor pull
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Pull
:
B
As we can see, the character is pulling the string downwards, so that he canhang. The stringhas to be strong enough to support his weight.
Question 14. A block kept at rest on a horizontal table is pushed by two horizontal forces, one towards north and other towards south, which are equal in magnitude. What can be said about the motion of the block?
  1.    The block will remain stationary.
  2.    The block will move upwards.
  3.    The block will move towards east.
  4.    The block will move towards west.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> The block will remain stationary.
:
A
As equal forces are acting on the block in opposite directions, the resultant force is zero. If there is no net force on the block, the state of motion of the block will not change and it will remain stationary.
Question 15. A 50 N force is applied on an area of 2 m2. Compute the pressure.
  1.    100 Pa
  2.    0 Pa
  3.    1 Pa
  4.    25 Pa
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 25 Pa
:
D
Given:
Force,F=50N
Area, A=2m2
From definition of pressure (P),
P=FA
P=502=25Pa
Question 16. When we press the bulb of a dropper with its nozzle inside water, the air present in the bulb escapes in form of bubbles. Once we release pressure on the bulb, water gets filled in the dropper. The rise of water in the dropper is driven by_________.
  1.    pressure inside the dropper
  2.    gravity of Earth
  3.    shape of rubber bulb
  4.    pressure difference
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> pressure difference
:
D
When we press the bulb of adropper, the number of air molecules decreases which results in a decrease in pressure inside thedropper nozzle. However, the outside pressure or atmospheric pressureremains the same. Therefore there is a difference in pressure between outside of the nozzle and inside of the nozzle. Since water flows from a region of higher pressure to a region of lower pressure, water rushes to fill inside the dropper.
Question 17. A car is at rest with respect to a tree. The net force acting on the car is non-zero.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Here, the position of the car remainsfixed with respect to time. This means that the car is at rest and there is no change in its state of motion. Hence, the net force on the car is zero and the given statement is false.
Question 18. Charges are of two types: negative and positive. Like charges repel while unlike charges attract each other.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    shape of rubber bulb
  4.    pressure difference
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Charges are of two types: positive and negative. From the property of charges, we know that, like charges repel while unlikecharges attract each other.
Question 19. When a porter uses a round piece of cloth on his head while carrying luggage, it reduces pressure by increasing the area of contact.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Pressure is inversely proportional to the area of contact. For the same force, more surface area results in lesserpressure.
When a porterusesa round piece of cloth on hishead while carrying luggage,the area of contact increases. As a result, pressure decreases.
Question 20. A block sliding on a horizontal rough surface comes to rest after travelling some distance on it. The force which is responsible for stopping the block is:
  1.    gravitational force
  2.    magnetic force
  3.    electrostatic force
  4.    frictional force
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> frictional force
:
D
Friction is a force that opposes relative motion between two surfaces in contact. A body sliding on a horizontal surface stops because the surface on which it slides resists its motion.
