FORCE AND PRESSURE
Q1. Why is
it comfortable to lift a school bag with broad straps than thin straps?
Answer:
Pressure is inversely proportional to area. Since broader straps have greater
area, so, the pressure decreases.
Q2. Why do
mountaineers suffer from nose bleeding at high altitudes?
Answer: At
high altitude, the atmospheric pressure is decreases. Since pressure of the
blood inside the mountaineer is high, the nose starts bleeding.
Q3. Why is
easier to hammer a sharp nail into wood than a blunt one?
Answer: We
know that,
Pressure= Force/Area. So, when we hammer a sharp nail, the force
acts on a smaller area which exerts greater pressure on the nail.
Q4. Why are
caterpillar tracks used in battle tanks instead of tyres?
Answer: In
battle tanks, caterpillar tracks is used because to increase the area of
contact. As a result they can even cross sinking grounds as the pressure
exerted on the ground is less.
Q5. Give two
examples of situations in which you push or pull to change the state of motion
of objects?
Answer:
Pull: when we open a drawer, when we draw a bucket of water from a well.
Push: when a
batsman hitting a ball, moving a loaded cart.
