Class 8 Science Chapter 11 Force and Pressure Worksheet Pdf

FORCE AND PRESSURE
 
Question 1. Give two examples each of situations in which you push or pull to change the state of motion of objects.
Answer- Two examples of push or pull force are as follows:
(i) When we push or pull a box, then its state of motion changes.
(ii) When we push or pull a bicycle, its state of motion changes.
 
Question 2. Give two examples of situations in which applied force causes a change in the shape of an object.
Answer- (i) Squeezing of a plastic bottle changes the shape of the bottle.
(ii) Deformation of clay by pressing it between the hands.
(iii) Making a chapati from a ball of dough.
 
Question 3 Fill in the blanks
 
(a) To draw water from a well we have to pull at the rope.
 
(b) A charged body attracts an uncharged body towards it.
 
(c) To move a loaded trolley we have to pull it.
 
(d) The north pole of a magnet repels the north pole of another magnet.
 
Question 4. An archer stretches her bow while taking aim at the target. She then releases the arrow,which begins to move towards the target. Based on this information fill up the gaps in the statements using the following terms.
Muscular, contact, non-contact, gravity, friction, shape, attraction
 
(a) To stretch the bow, the archer applies a force that causes a change in its  shape .
 
(b) The force applied by the archer to stretch the bow is an example of  Muscular force.
 
(c) The type of force responsible for a change in the state of motion of the arrow is an example of a contact  force.
 
(d) While the arrow moves towards its target, the forces acting on it are due to gravity and that due to  friction  of air.
 
Question 5. In the following statements identify the agent exerting the force and object on which its acts. State the effect of the force in each case.
(a) Squeezing a piece of lemon between the fingers to extract its juice.
(b) Taking out paste from a toothpaste tube.

Question 6- A blacksmith hammers a hot piece of iron while making tool. How does the force due to hammering affect the piece of iron?
Answer- The shape of the hot piece of iron changes. It flattens and becomes thinner than earlier. This is the effect of force due to hammering the piece of iron.
 
Question 7. An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. What force might be responsible for the attraction between the balloon and the wall?
Answer- This is an electrostatic force.
 
Question 8. Name the forces acting on a plastic bucket containing water held above ground level in your hand. Discuss why the forces acting on the bucket do not bring a change in its state of motion.
Answer- A bucket filled with water held above the ground experiences two types of forces:
 
1. Muscular force (acting upwards)
2. Gravity (acting downwards)
These two forces are balanced because they are equal in magnitude but act in opposite directions. So, the net force on the bucket is zero and hence the state of motion of the bucket remains unchanged.
 
Question 9. A rocket has been fired upwards to launch a satellite in its orbits. Name the two forces acting on the rocket immediately after leaving the launching pad.
 
Answer- The two forces acting on the rocket immediately after leaving the launching pad are:
(i) Upward force applied by the rocket engine.
(ii) Downward gravitational force applied by the Earth.
 
Question 10- When we press the bulb of a dropper with its nozzle kept in water, air in the dropper is seen to escape in the form of bubbles. Once we release the pressure on the bulb, water gets filled in the dropper. The rise of water in the dropper is due to
(a) Pressure of water.
(b) Gravity of the earth.
(c) Shape of rubber bulb.
(d) Atmospheric pressure. (✓)
