Which of the following types of forces is arising between two charged bodies?

  1. Nuclear

  2. Gravitational

  3. Electrostatic

  4. Magnetic

  5. Muscular


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is the force exerted by electrically charged on other charged or neutral objects.This type of force arises due to charge acquired between two charged bodies.

Which of the following is the CGS unit of force?

  1. Dyne

  2. Pascal

  3. Newton

  4. Joule

  5. Metre


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Dyne is the unit of force in CGS system.

Athletes wear spiked shoes

  1. to decrease friction

  2. to increase speed

  3. to balance the body

  4. to increase friction

  5. to easily change the direction


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Athletes wear spiked shoes to increase friction so that they get a firm grip on the ground.

Pressure is defined as

  1. force acting per unit area

  2. area acting per unit force

  3. product of force and area

  4. product of mass and area

  5. product of mass and gravitational force


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The value of the force acting over per unit area is called pressure.

Which of the following is not an example of contact force?

  1. Lifting a bucket full of water.

  2. A car moving with the help of a machine.

  3. A fan moving with the help of a motor fitted in it.

  4. A bus and a car colliding with each other.

  5. Falling of a ball or stone thrown towards the sky.


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

It is an example of gravitational force, which is a type of action at a distance force.

The frictional force that fluids exert on objects is called as

  1. drench

  2. drag

  3. dredge

  4. dyne

  5. dreg


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The frictional force that fluids exert on objects is called as drag.

Which of the following features of the fish help(s) them to reduce fluid friction?

  1. Gills

  2. Paired fins

  3. Streamlined bodies

  4. Scales

  5. Tail


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The streamlined shape of the fish help them to reduce friction with water.

Which of the following activities is not based upon friction?

  1. Writing

  2. Speaking

  3. Hearing

  4. Walking

  5. Dancing


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Hearing is not based on friction because it is based on the vibration of air.

Which of the following statements is not true about friction?

  1. Friction generates heat.

  2. Friction wears out the rubbing surfaces.

  3. Friction causes wastage of energy.

  4. Friction depends on the nature of surfaces in contact.

  5. Friction depends on area.


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

It is wrong, friction is independent of area.

Which of the following is not used to reduce friction?

  1. Oil

  2. Sand

  3. Ball bearings

  4. Graphite

  5. Talcum powder


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sand is used to increase friction, if sand is strewn on slippery ground during the rainy season then it becomes easier to walk on the ground.

The force due to rolling, static and sliding friction in the increasing order is

  1. sliding, static and rolling

  2. rolling, static and sliding

  3. static, sliding and rolling

  4. rolling, sliding and static

  5. static, rolling and sliding


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Rolling friction is less than sliding friction and sliding friction is less than and static friction, so less force is needed in rolling friction than sliding friction, and much more force is needed in static friction.

Which of the following is the force that always oposses motion?

  1. Muscular force

  2. Gravitational force

  3. Electrostatic force

  4. Magnetic force

  5. Frictional force


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Frictional force is a force that opposes the motion or tendency of motion between two surfaces in contact with each other.

Deep sea divers are asked to wear special suits because

  1. the sea water is very cold

  2. of the safety from dangerous aquatic animals

  3. special suits maintain the pressure equal to atmospheric pressure

  4. special suits reduce the pressure from the atmospheric pressure

  5. special suits reduce the weight


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, special suits maintain the pressure equal to atmospheric pressure.

Three boxes of the same material filled with oil, sand and graphite, respectively have the same weight. The surface area of the box which is filled with oil is larger than the other two. If the three boxes are allowed to push simultaneously, then which of the following statements is true?

  1. Force of friction will be more on the oil box.

  2. Force of friction will remain the same on all boxes.

  3. Force of friction will be more on the sand and graphite box than the oil box.

  4. Force of friction will be more on the sand box only.

  5. Force of friction will be less on the oil box.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Force of friction will remain the same for all the boxes because friction is independent of the area in contact, its only depends upon weight.

Spring balance measures the

  1. mass of the body

  2. weight of the body

  3. direction of force applied on a body

  4. direction of motion of a moving body

  5. length of the body


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A spring balance is used to measure the weight of the body, because the weight is the force with which a body gets attracted towards the centre of the earth.
