                          Answer:<\/strong>
                          The force of attraction on a body by earth is called gravitational force.
                          Example :<\/strong> The leaves and fruits fall from a tree downwards towards the ground, water in a river flows down streams, a ball thrown up goes to a height and then returns back on ground are some examples of motion due to gravitational force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Question 12.<\/strong>
                          Define the term \u201cweight of a body\u201d
                          Answer:<\/strong>
                          Weight:<\/strong> The weight of the body is the force with which the earth attracts it towards the centre. It depends on acceleration due to gravity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          If we stop paddling our bicycle, it gradually slows down and ultimately it stops after travelling a certain distance. This is due to frictional force between bicycle and ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Question 15.<\/strong>
                          What is the cause of friction ?
                          Answer:<\/strong>

                              Answer:<\/strong>
                              Disadvantages of friction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              1. Friction produces heat which damages the moving parts of a machine.<\/li>
                              2. Friction produces wear and tear on the contacting surfaces. This reduces the life of machine parts, tyres and shoe soles.<\/li>
                              3. A lot of energy is wasted due to friction to overcome it before moving.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                Question 21.<\/strong>
                                When you apply the brakes, the bicycle stops and the rim of the wheel becomes hot. Explain the reason.
                                Answer:<\/strong>
                                It is due to friction between the brakes and the rim of the wheel that it becomes hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Question 22.<\/strong>
                                The eraser gets smaller and smaller as you use it more and more. Explain the reason.
                                Answer:<\/strong>
                                The eraser gets smaller and smaller as we use it more and more due to frictional force causing wear and tear of the eraser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Question 23.<\/strong>
                                List three ways of reducing friction.
                                Answer:<\/strong>
                                Ways to reduce friction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                1. Providing ball bearings or wheels between the moving parts of machine or vehicles reduce friction and allow smooth movement as rolling friction is less than sliding friction.<\/li>
                                2. Oiling or lubricating (with graphite or grease) the moving parts of a machine reduces friction. Fine powder like talcum powder also works as a lubricant to reduce friction.<\/li>
                                3. Polishing the rough surface reduces friction offered by it.<\/li>
                                4. Streamlining (giving special shape to experience minimum drag) the bodies of aeroplanes, cars, boats and ships help reduce drag (fluid friction) while travelling through air or water.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                  Question 24.<\/strong>
                                  It is difficult to open an inkpot with greasy or oily hands. Explain.
                                  Answer:<\/strong>
                                  When the hands are oily, then the oil acts as lubricant and reduces the friction.
                                  As the friction force is less, it is difficult to get grip of the inkpot and it becomes difficult to open it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Question 25.<\/strong>
                                  It is difficult to walk on a wet road. Explain.
                                  Answer:<\/strong>
                                  When the road becomes wet after rain, friction is reduced and hence, the road becomes slippery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Question 26.<\/strong>

                                  The examples to illustrate that friction is a necessary evil are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  1. If friction were absent, we would not be able to walk.<\/li>
                                  2. Friction is necessary to burn a matchstick.<\/li>
                                  3. It is due to friction that we can write on a board by a chalk.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                    1. static friction<\/li>

                                      Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      1. The maximum force exerted by a surface on a body so long as it remains stationary is called the force of static friction.<\/li>
                                      2. The minimum force required to keep the body moving over a surface such that it moves equal distances in equal intervals of time is called the force of sliding friction..<\/li>
                                      3. The minimum force required to roll a body on a surface is called the force of rolling friction.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                        Question 28.<\/strong>

                                          Answer:<\/strong>
                                          Static friction > Sliding friction > Rolling friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Question 29.<\/strong>
                                          A body needs a force F1<\/sub> just to start motion on a surface, a force F2<\/sub> to continue its motion and a force F3<\/sub> to roll on the surface. What is<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          1. the static friction<\/li>

                                          3. rolling friction ? State whether F2<\/sub> is equal, less than or greater than (1) F1<\/sub> and (2) F3<\/sub>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                            Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            1. F1<\/sub> = Static friction<\/li>
                                            2. F2<\/sub> = Sliding friction<\/li>
                                            3. F3<\/sub> = Rolling friction
                                              F1<\/sub> > F2<\/sub> > F3
                                              <\/sub>F2<\/sub> is less than F1<\/sub> but greater than F3<\/sub>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
