Question 151 Mark
Explain the meaning of the term force.
Answer
Force is a physical cause that changes or may tend to change the state of rest or the state of motion of an object. The S.I. unit of force is Newton.

Question 171 Mark
Define rolling friction
Answer
The minimum force required to roll a body on a surface is called the force of rolling friction.
View full question & answer
Question 181 Mark
Define static friction
Answer
The maximum force exerted by a surface on a body so long as it remains stationary is called the force of static friction.

Question 191 Mark
It is difficult to walk on a wet road. Explain.
Answer
When the road becomes wet after rain, friction is reduced, and hence, the road becomes slippery.

Question 201 Mark
It is difficult to open an inkpot with greasy or oily hands. Explain.
Answer
When the hands are oily, then the oil acts as a lubricant and reduces the friction.
As the friction force is less, it is difficult to get a grip of the inkpot and it becomes difficult to open it.

Question 231 Mark
The eraser gets smaller and smaller as you use it more and more. Explain the reason.
Answer
The eraser gets smaller and smaller as we use it more and more due to frictional force causing wear and tear of the eraser.

Question 321 Mark
Give an example to illustrate the existence of the force of friction.
Answer
If we stop paddling our bicycle, it gradually slows down and ultimately it stops after traveling a certain distance. This is due to the frictional force between bicycle and ground.

Question 461 Mark
Answer the following in detail.
Why do all objects have a tendency to fall towards the centre of the earth?
Answer
Gravitational force exerted by the earth is very strong. This force attracts all objects on earth towards its centre. That is why all objects on earth have a tendency to fall towards the centre of the earth.
