Force, Work and Energy

Q/ANS

Q1. Give Four effects of force.

Ans. The four effects of force are
1. Force can move a body.
2. Force can stop a body.
3. Force can change the direction of body.
4. Force can change the shape of an object.

Q2: How will you show that friction is more on rough surfaces?
Ans: Activity to show that friction is more on rough surfaces.
Roll a ball on smooth surface such as glass.
Now, roll the same ball with same force on carpet.
We observe that the ball rolls easily on glass whereas it stops after going a
short distance when rolled on carpet.
This shows that rough surfaces provide more friction and stop the motion.
Q3. Differentiate between chemical and heat energy.
Ans:
Chemical Energy Heat Energy
1.The energy stored in the molecules 1.Energy obtained by burning fuels is
of some chemicals is known as known as heat energy.
chemical energy.
2. It is used to cook food.
2. Crackers and cells store chemical
energy.
Q4. Show that the like poles of a magnet repel and unlike poles of a magnet
attract.
Ans. Magnets possess magnetic energy. When we bring two magnets near
each other. If they attract each other, they are opposite poles. If they repel
each other, they are the same poles.
Q5. What are balanced forces?
Ans. When the force applied from both the sides on an object are equal, the
object does not move. Such forces are known as balanced forces.
