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.
ans. The forces that act on the bucket are as follows:-
(i) The pressure of water contained in it, exerted on its wall and base of the
bucket.
(ii) Force of gravity by the earth.
(iii) The water is contained in a bucket and the pressure of force is exerted on the
wall of the bucket, which is sufficient to take it as a force.
As the bucket is held in my hand, I overcome the earth’s force of gravity. That is
why these forces do not bring a change in the state of motion.
9. A rocket has been fired upwards to launch a satellite in its orbit. Name the two
forces acting on the rocket immediately after leaving the launching pad.
ans. i) Gravitational force
ii) Force of friction
10. When we press the bulb of a dropper with its nozzle kept in water, the 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 a rubber bulb.
(d) Atmospheric pressure.
ans. atmospheric pressure.
• Force: a push or a pull on an object is called force. Force may impart motion to
an object.
• it is applied on an object in the same direction to add to one another.
• Magnitude: the strength of a force is usually expressed by its magnitude
• State of motion: The state of motion of an object is described by its speed and
direction of motion.
• Muscular Force: The force resulting due to the action of muscles is known as
the muscular force.
• Contact Force: The force which is applied when it is in contact with the object.
• Non-contact force: The force exerted on an object without touching it is known
as non-contact force.
• Gravitational force: the attractive force of earth which acts upon all the objects
is called the force of gravity or gravitational force.
• Pressure: The force acting on a unit area of a surface is called pressure. It acts
perpendicular to the surface on which pressure is exerted.
• Pressure= force/area on which it acts. Lesser the area, the greater the force.
• Both liquids and gases exert pressure on the wall of their containers.
• Atmospheric pressure: The pressure on the atmospheric air is known as
atmospheric pressure. This weight of the air column over a unit of 1cm 2
