Question 41.


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 42.


When an archer pulls the string of a bow, which of the following force is in play?


  1.     Muscular force
  2.     Nuclear force
  3.     Gravitational force
  4.     Magnetic force
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Muscular force
:
A
The archer stretches the string of the bow by applying muscular force. In the process, the shape of the bow changes.
Question 43.


A force is applied to a ball when it is:


  1.     kicked
  2.     pushed
  3.     thrown
  4.     stared upon
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> kicked
:
A, B, and C
Any push or pull is called a force. Kicking, pushing and throwing are all examples of force being applied. However, staring doesn't involve any application of force.
Question 44.


If the net force on an object is acting in the direction of its motion, its speed decreases.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Size of the object
  4.     Shape of the object
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

If a net force is applied on an object moving with some speed, in the direction of its motion, its speed increases. For example, for a ball dropped from a roof, direction of motion and direction of force are in the downward direction. The speed of the ball keeps increasing until it hits the ground.


Question 45.


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 applied to 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 46.


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).
1 Pa=1 N/m2
Question 47.


A force applied on a body always bring a change in its state of motion.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
An object continues to be in its state of motion or rest until acted upon by an external force. A body changes its state of motion when a non-zero net force is acting on it.
Question 48.


What is the force which acts between charged particles at rest known as?


  1.     Weak nuclear force
  2.     Strong nuclear force
  3.     Electrostatic force
  4.     Magnetic force
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Electrostatic force
:
C

Electrostatic force is the force which acts between charged particles at rest. This force can be repulsive or attractive in nature.


Question 49.


Which of the following are non-contact forces?


  1.     Electrostatic force
  2.     Magnetic force
  3.     Gravitational force
  4.     Frictional force
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Gravitational force
:
A, B, and C
The force that can act between two bodies without being in physical contact with each other is called non-contact force. Gravitational, magnetic and electrostatic forces are non-contact forces. Friction can act only when two surfaces are in contact and hence is a contact force.
Question 50.


Gravitational force exists between two persons standing next to each other.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Gravitational force
  4.     Frictional force
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Every object in the universe that has mass exerts a gravitational force on every other object having mass. Thus, the given statement is true.
