2. Match the following :

3. One or more forces are acting in the following examples. Name them.

(a) An object falling from a tall building

Ans: Gravitational force

(b) An aeroplane flying in sky

Ans: Mechanical force, muscular force, frictional force, and gravitational force

(c) Squeezing sugarcane juice with a squeezer

Ans: Muscular force, Frictional force, Mechanical force

(d) Winnowing foodgrain

Ans: Muscular force, Gravitational force

4. Explain in your own words giving one example each.

1) Muscular force

Ans: The force applied with the help of muscles is called muscular force. The movement takes place with the help of the bones and muscles in the body.

Ex. Running, Exercise

2) Gravitational force

Ans: The force applied by the earth to pull objects towards itself is called gravitational force.

Ex. Falling down of a mango

3) Mechanical force

Ans: The force applied by means of a machine is called mechanical force.

Ex. Machines

4) Electrostatic force,

Ans: Static electricity is produced on materials like rubber, plastic and ebonite due to friction. The force exerted by such electrically charged materials is called electrostatic force.

Ex. Clothing

5) The force of friction and magnetic force

Ans: When two surfaces rub against each other, the force of friction comes into play. It always acts against the direction of motion.

Ex. Ball rolling over the ground

5. Why ?

(a) Machines are oiled from time to time.

Ans: Machines are oiled from time to time so that the devices inside it and mechanical part inside it get lubricant and this will also help machine to work smoothly ad effectively.

(b) An object thrown upwards comes down after reaching a point.

Ans: When an object thrown upwards, it comes down after reaching a point. It is only because of gravitational pull of the earth.

(c) Powder is sprinkled on a carom board.

Ans: We sprinkle powder on carom board to make the surface of the board smooth. This reduces the friction between the surface of the carom board, the striker and the coins. As a result the coins and the striker can move easily on the carom board.

(d) The ramp at a railway station has a rough surface.

Ans: The ramp at a railway station has a rough surface to increase friction so that we do not slip while walking on it. If the surface is smooth, then the frictional force between the ramp and the feet becomes less and the chances of slipping are greater.

6. In what way are we different?

(a) Muscular force and mechanical force.

Ans:

(b) The force of friction and gravitational force.

Ans:

7. Write answers to the following questions in your own words.

(a) What are the things that can be done by applying force ?

Ans: The action from a force can cause an object to move or speed up, to slow down, to stop, to change direction. It can be said that a force on an object results in the acceleration of an object.

(b) What is meant by weight ?

Ans: Weight is the gravitational force that is acting on a body, weight of a body is mass times acceleration due to gravity.

Weight=mass

(c) Which machines run on muscular force ?

Ans: There are many machines that we use in our everyday life and need muscular force. Some of the machines that are run mostly on muscular force are: Bicycle, Sewing machine

8. Solve the following crossword puzzle.

(d) Man-made materials have more demand.

Ans: Man made substances are easier to use and can be made available in plenty at a low cost. Therefore man-made materials have more demand.

(e) Humus is a natural material.

Ans: Humus is the dark organic matter that forms in the soil when plant and animal matter the case. Thus, humus is a natural material.

6. Find out.

(1) How is lac obtained from nature ?

Ans: Lac is the scalar resinous of a number of species of lac insect. Cultivation begins when a farmer gets a stick that contains eggs ready to hatch and ties it to the tree to be infested. Thousands of lac insects colonize the branches of host tree and secrete the resinous pigment. The coated branches of the host trees are cut and harvested.

(2) How are pearls obtained ?

Ans: Pearls are formed inside the cells of bivalve marine animal. If any foreign particles enters the body of these animal a layer of protective substance called the chancre is deposited around it. This protective layer forms pearls.

5. Substances in the Surroundings-Their States and Properties

Question And Answer

1. In the paragraph below, write ‘solid’, ‘liquid’ or ‘gas’ in each of the brackets depending on the substance referred to just before.

On a bright sunny day, Riya and Gargi are playing with a ball (solid) in the park. Gargi feels thirsty. So, Riya brings tender coconut water (liquid) for her. At the same time, a strong breeze (gas) starts blowing and it also begins to rain (liquid). They run back into the house (solid), change their clothes (solid) and then their mother gives them a cup ( solid ) of hot milk (liquid) to drink.

2. Discuss.

(a) Riya pours some water from her bottle into another bottle. Does it change the shape of the water ?

Ans: Yes, the shape of the water will change because liquids do not have a shape of their own. They take the shape of the container in which they are present.

Glass- Transparency, brittleness

Chalk- Brittleness

Iron ball- Hardness

Sugar- Solubility

Salt- Solubility

Flour- Solubility

Coal- Brittleness
