Ncert – class 8- science – Chapter 8: Force and Pressure 1 Welcome to your Ncert - class 8- science - Chapter 8: Force and Pressure 1 1. Two forces F1 and F2 are acting on a body. F1 is a contact force. F2 is a non - contact force. Then, the body (if at all moving) always moves in direction of F1 Force whose magnitude is greater None of these F2 None 2. A force is needed to : Keep the body in motion Keep the body stationary Change the state of motion or state of rest of the body Keep the velocity of body constant None 3. Which of the following statements is /are true Metecors that enter earth atmosphere burn up due to non-contact The strength of a non contact force is independet of distance between the bodies. Contact forces are always observes than non-contact forcs. Magnet force is a non contact force None 4. Write true or false. Correct the false statements. Wooden sleepers are placed under railway tracks in order to increase pres. pressure is inversely proportional to the force applied The perpendicular distance from the pivot of a rotating body to the line of known as the moment arm. pressure is independent of the roughness of the surfaces in correct. None 5. To move at the same speed, a car with a flat face and another with a streamlined body will require a different amount of force from the engine. The engine of the streamline bodied car will: Exert zero force Exert no force Exert more force Exert less force None 6. The force between two charge bodies is called muscular force electrostatic force magnetic force gravitational force None 7. Which of these is an example of a non-contact force? A toy car slides down the ramp A child lifts a book lying on the table A marble rolling on the carpet slows down A bar magnet moves a paperclip without touching it None 8. Change in the state of rest or of uniform motion is brought about by: Force Energy Acceleration None None 9. It is recommended that the air pressure in motor car tyres be reduced for a motion of the motor cars on sand because deflated tyres cause high pressure on the sand inflated tyres cause high pressure on the sand deflated tyres cause low pressure on the sand inflated tyres cause low pressure on the sand None 10. The non-contact force is : Force of reaction Force of the friction Force due to gravity Tension in string None 11. In the superhit film 'Raja Hindustani', Amir Khan greets his beloved by shaking hand. What kind of force do they exert? Weak Nuclear Gravitational Electromagnetic None 12. Which of the following is a contact force: Gravitational force Electrostatic force Magnetic force Frictional force None 13. Consider two shoulder bags, one with a thin strap, and the other with a wide strap. If both the bags are equally heavy, the bag with the wide strap will be more comfortable to carry because the thin strap has greater inertia per unit length the wide strap allows friction to be spread over a bigger area, thus reducing force between shoulder and the strap the thin strap causes greater momentum to be exerted the wide strap enables the weight of the bag to be spread over a bigger area, thus reducing the pressure on the shoulder. None 14. With the increase in the area of contact of an object the pressure none of these is not affected decreases increases None 15. Consider the following two cases which involve the motion of an object Case 1: An apple falling from a tree towards the ground. Case 2: To move a loaded cart on the horizontal ground. Case 1: Involves pushing of the apple by earth's gravitational force Case 1: Involves pulling of apple by earth magnetic force Case 2: Involves loaded cart to be moved by both pulling or pushing force Case 2: Involves loaded cart to be moved by pulling force only None 16. Which of the following is a correct statement regarding the pressure due to fluids? Force acting on the wall due to pressure is always perpendicular to it because of collision between the molecules takes place oblique to it. Force acting on the wall due to pressure is always perpendicular to it because of collision between the molecules takes place perpendicular to it. Force acting on the wall due to pressure is always oblique to it because of collision between the molecules takes place perpendicular to it. Force acting on the wall due to pressure is always perpendicular to it because of collision between the molecules takes place at any direction to it but its normal reaction on the wall is always perpendicular to it. None 17. Which of the following statement is incorrect: At high altitude density of air is relatively high Air is compressible at constant temperature At high altitude air pressure is relatively low Density of a gas is directly proportional to its pressure at constant temperature. None 18. When three forces of 50N, 30N and 15N act on a body, then the body is Moving with a uniform velocity In equilibrium At rest Moving with an acceleration None 19. A vehicle sinks into soft ground. The vehicle is changed so that it does not sink as far. Which change is made? A lower centre of mass Wider tyres A more powerful engine Wheels that are further apart None 20. A tall vertical cylinder filled with water is kept on a horizontal table top. Two small holes A and B are made on the wall of the cylinder, A near the middle and B just below the free surface of water. Water jet through A will have larger range Water jet through B will have larger range There will be no water jet through B Water jets through A and B will have equal range None Time's up Please Share This Share this content Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Leave a Reply Cancel replyCommentEnter your name or username to comment Enter your email address to comment Enter your website URL (optional) Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
