Questions Related to force - push or pull

A force is a result of:

physics force and types of force concept of force and its unit force - push or pull forces

  1. interaction between two bodies

  2. interaction of one body with itself

  3. friction

  4. all of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

One object exerts a force on the other object due to their mutual interaction when the objects either are in contact with each other or placed at certain distance apart.

In which direction does a car at rest move when pushed by a few persons?

physics force and types of force concept of force and its unit force - push or pull forces

  1. In the direction opposite to push

  2. In the direction of the push

  3. Making an acute angle with the push

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

To move a car, their must be interactions between the men and the car. The interaction is exerted in terms of push and the car moves in the direction of push, i.e., in the direction of the force applied.

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Force is a push or pull which changes or tends to change the state of rest or of uniform motion.

A force can change:

physics force and types of force concept of force and its unit force - push or pull forces

  1. shape of a body

  2. size of a body

  3. direction of motion

  4. all the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A force can change or tend to change shape, size of a body or its state of rest or direction of motion.

Which of the following is/are contact forces

physics force and types of force concept of force and its unit force - push or pull forces

  1. Normal force

  2. Tension force

  3. Friction force

  4. All

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Contact forces are those types of forces which result when the two interacting objects are perceived to be physically contacting each other. Examples of contact forces include frictional forces, tensional forces, normal forces, air resistance forces, and applied forces.

  2. there must be no interaction.

  3. sometimes there may be an interaction.

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Two bodies must interact in order to apply a force.

Which of the following pairs of forces cannot be added to give a resultant force of $4N$?

physics forces - vectors and moments concept of force and its unit force - push or pull forces

  1. $2 N$ and $8 N$

  2. $2 N$ and $2 N$

  3. $2 N$ and $6 N$

  4. $2 N$ and $4 N$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Resultant force, 

$F=\sqrt{F _1^2+F _2^2+2F _1F _2cos\theta}$. . . . . . . . .(1)
Lets consider the option A,

$F _1=2N$
$F _2=8N$

For maximum resultant force, $cos\theta=1$
From equation (1),
$F _{max}=\sqrt{F _1^2+F _2^2+2F _1F _2}=\sqrt{(F _1+F _2)^2}$
$F _{max}=F _1+F _2$
$F _{max}=8+2=10N$
For minimum resultant force, $cos\theta=-1$
$F _{min}=\sqrt{F _1^2+F _2^2-2F1F _2}=\sqrt{(F _1-F _2)^2}$
$F _{min}=\sqrt{(2-8)^2}=6N$
So, the $4N$ does not lie within this range. Thus it is not possible to have it as resultant force.
The correct option is A.

Two forces 12 N and 5 N are acting perpendicular to each other. Then the net force acting is.

physics forces - vectors and moments concept of force and its unit force - push or pull forces

  1. 17 N

  2. 18 N

  3. 7 N

  4. zero

  5. 13 N

Show answer
Correct Option: E
Explanation:

$ \vec F _{net} = \vec F _1 +\vec F _2$

$| \vec F _{net}| = \sqrt{F _1^2 +F _2^2 +2F _1F _2\cos\theta}$
$| \vec F _{net}| = \sqrt{12^2 +5^2 +2\times 12 \times 5\cos 90^0}$
$| \vec F _{net}| = \sqrt{12^2 +5^2 }$
$| \vec F _{net}| = 13N$
Therefore, E is correct option.
