Shown struck a magnet at the top of a ramp and paper clips at the base of the ramp. He observed that the paper clip move up the ramp and attached to the magnet. What forces were acting on the paper clip as it moved up the ramp.

2.
An inflated gas balloon is placed in a jar which is connected to an evacuating pump. What happens if the air inside the jar is pumped out? Explain.
3.
Mountaineers usually suffer from nose bleeding at high altitudes. Explain why.
4.
In the circuit shown in figure, when the key is closed, the compass needle placed in the match box deflects. Name the force which causes this deflection.

5.
A blacksmith hammers a hot piece of iron while making a tool. How does the force due to hammering affect the piece of iron?
6.
A cyclist exerts a force of _________ on the pedle of cycle.
7.
As we go high on the mountain, the __________ decreases.
8.
When two forces act in the same direction, then the net force acting _________ is of the two forces.
9.
The North pole of a magnet _________ the North pole of another magnet.
10.
To move a loaded trolley, we have to __________ it.
11.
An astronaut travels from the earth to the moon, how do its weight and mass change?
12.
Name an activity which does not involve any pushing force.
13.
We do not feel atmospheric pressure on our body. Explain the reason in brief.
14.
Explain the effect that a force put on the shape of an object.
15.
Where do we apply a force while walking?
16.
Amit and Sumit were good friends. They both went to gym center for exercise. As, the coach of gym told them to complete 10 dips each. So, Amit started doing it by stretching the palms on the floor while Sumit opted to do the same job on pair of rods at some height from floor.
(a) Amit got less pain while Sumit got more pain on his palm. Why?
(b) Mention the idea used by Amit here.
17.
Observe the vessels A, B, C and D as shown in figure carefully.

Volume of water taken in each vessel is as shown. Arrange them in the order of decreasing pressure at the base of each vessel. Explain.
18.
Some mustard oil is kept in the beaker. It will exert pressure
upward
downward
sideways
in all the directions
19.
Force is due to
motion
an interaction
collision
None of these
20.
Which one of the following forces is a contact force?
Force of gravity
Force of friction
Magnetic force
Electrostatic force
21.
Force due to the charged particles is known as
muscular force
magnetic force
electrostatic force
gravitational force
22.
State of motion is described by
position of rest
position of motion
Both (a) and (b)
None of these
23.
In 'tug of war' when both the teams apply equal pulling force then net force is maximum.
24.
The nails penetrated into the planks easily because a large force acts on a small area.
25.
If two forces act in opposite directions, then net force is the difference between the two forces.
26.
A force can never stop a moving object.
27.
The blood pressure in our body balances the atmospheric pressure acting on our body.
1.
The paper clip moved up the ramp because it was attracted to the magnet. Therefore, there was a magnetic force acting on it. Gravitational and frictional forces also continue to act on the paper clip as it moved up the ramp.
2.
The balloon contains gas at a pressure which is more than the atmospheric pressure, i.e. outside pressure of balloon. When the air in the jar is removed there is no opposition to the pressure exerted. So, when the air inside the jar is pumped out the balloon will expand rapidly and burst.
3.
Since the atmospheric pressure becomes much less at higher altitudes than the blood pressure of our body. As, the blood pressure is at higher pressure than outside pressure, due to which some of the blood vessel in the body of mountaineers at high altitude get burst and nose bleeding takes place.
4.
On closing the switch, the current starts flowing in the wire and due to this current, a magnetic field established around the wire which exerts magnetic force on the needle and it gets deflected.
5.
When blacksmith hammers a hot piece of iron, the force due to hammering can change the shape of the piece of iron. In other words, we can say that force applied through the hammer by the blacksmith can mould the hot piece of iron into any kind of tool.
6.

11.
Mass of an object remains constant at all the places, so mass of astronaut will not change. Weight of an object depends upon the gravity, at the moon gravity is lesser than earth, so weight of astronaut will decrease.
12.
When a person swims freestyle, he is pulling himself forward in the water.
13.
We do not feel atmospheric pressure on our body. It is due to the pressure inside our body is nearly equal to atmospheric pressure.
14.
When a force is applied on an Object, then the shape of object changes with the application of force.
15.
We apply a force on ground while walking and ground applies reaction force on our foot due to which we are able to move forward.
16.
(a) Sumit applied more pressure on his palm by baring the maximum load of his body on small area of palm while Amit applied less pressure on his palm by baring the same load on larger area of palm.
(b) Amit have the presence of mind and he thought of an excellent idea about pressure on the body part.
17.
Pressure at depth due to liquid column depends upon
(i) gravitational acceleration (g)
(ii) density of liquid
(iii) height of liquid.
And in this case, g and density are same, so only thing that can change pressure is height. So, the order of pressure exerted by the fluid A, B,C and D at the base is given by Po > Pa > PA > PC
18.
