Question 21.


An aeroplane can fly in the sky because the gravitional force does not pull it towards the centre of the earth.


  1.     True
  2.     False 
  3.     Iron and Steel
  4.     Plastic and wood
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False 
:
B

Gravitational force is a universal force. Every object in the universe attracts every other object in the universe gravitationally. Therefore gravitational force does pull the aeroplane towards the centre of the earth, but the force exerted by the engine of the plane makes it fly in the air.


Question 22.


The south and north poles of two magnets will attract each other. 


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Increase the length of load arm
  4.     Decrease the length of the load arm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Like poles of magnets always repel each other and unlike poles attract. Thus, the north and south poles of two magnets will attract each other. 
Question 23.


Keshav has a lever to lift heavy rocks. What should he do to reduce the force required to lift the rocks?


  1.     Increase the length of effort arm
  2.     Decrease the length of effort arm
  3.     Increase the length of load arm
  4.     Decrease the length of the load arm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Increase the length of effort arm
:
A and D

When the effort arm is greater than the load arm, the lever acts as a force multiplier. The amount of force required to lift an object will decrease if the length of the effort arm increases or the length of the load arm decreases. Therefore Keshav should either increase the length of effort arm or decrease the length of load arm.


 


Question 24.


If a ball is thrown up, after reaching a particular height it will come back due to:


  1.     Magnetic force
  2.     Force of gravity
  3.     Frictional force
  4.     Normal force
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Force of gravity
:
B
Due to the gravitational force of Earth, every object is attracted towards the earth. Therefore the ball will be attracted towards the centre of  the earth, so it will come back. If there was no gravity on Earth then the ball if thrown up, will never come back.
Question 25.


Which of the following is true about gravitational force?


  1.     Contact Force
  2.     Non-contact Force
  3.     Universal Force
  4.     Non-universalForce
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Non-contact Force
:
B and C

Every object in the universe attracts every other object in the universe gravitationally. Therefore gravity is a universal force.
For an object to experience gravitational force  it doesn't need to be in  contact, hence gravitational force is a non-contact force.


Question 26.


Which among these is/are good example(s) for gravity?


  1.     Moon orbiting around the Earth
  2.     Apple falling from a tree
  3.     A boat sailing with the help of wind
  4.     Books slip from a person's hand and fall
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Apple falling from a tree
:
A, B, and D

The gravitational force of Earth attracts eveything towards it centre. The Moon stays on orbit around Earth because of gravity. The apple and the book both fall because of gravity. A boat sails on water because wind applies a force on it which makes it move. 


Question 27.


Which of the following object(s) is a similar type of lever to the one shown in the diagram?


Which Of The Following Object(s) Is A Similar Type Of Lever ...


  1.    
  2.    
  3.    
  4.      
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
A and C

The lever shown in the question belongs to Class I i.e. fulcrum lies in the centre. Similar type of levers are exhibited by the see-saw and the plier, where the load and the effort are at the two ends whereas the fulcrum is present in the centre. 


Question 28.


Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its   ____.


  1.     height 
  2.     position
  3.     motion 
  4.     compression 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> motion 
:
C

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body or an object because of it's motion.
Example: A ball rolling on the floor has kinetic energy because of its motion.


Question 29.


Slides are an example of a/an:


  1.     Lever
  2.     Pulley
  3.     Inclined Plane
  4.     Screw
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Inclined Plane
:
C

Slides have an inclined plane. An inclined plane is a simple machine used to lift heavy objects.


Question 30.


In the case of plucking out a nail using a hammer, where is the load applied?


  1.     At the handle
  2.     At the tip of the handle
  3.     At the hammer claw
  4.     There is no load point
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> At the hammer claw
:
C

To pull out a nail using a hammer, the effort is applied on the handle and the hammer claw is used to pull out the nail, which is the load point.
