 nort question answer

A1 Airpressure goes on decreasing as we go higher up, so at high altitudes, the

atmospheric pressure becomes less than the pressure exerted by the blood inside the body.
This causes some of the blood vessels burst and the nose starts bleeding
A3The force exerted by a charged body on another charged or uncharged body heightef
eiscalled electrostatic force. This force comes into play even when the bodies are not in
contact, so it is called non- contact force.
A4 We do not feel the pressure of theatmosphere around us, because the pressure in our
bodies isroughly the sameas the atmospheric pressure outside. Therefore, both the forces
acting on our bodies cancel out and we do not feel uncomfortable.
AS Forces which act only when there is physical contact between two interacting objects
are known as Contact forces. Example-muscular force,Frictional force
forces
Forces which actswithout Any physical contact between them are called non contact
Example magnetic force, Gravitational force

A1The forces which come into play only
are called contact forces.

Some contact forces are:

muScular
Muscular force: The forces resulting due the action of muscles are known as
(i)
comesinto play when two object,come
forces. Muscular force is acontact force because it

in contact with
Force of friction:When a body is moving, then aforce equal and opposite to the
(ii) iscalled force of friction tie
direction of motion is exerted on that moving body. ThiS force
 alsoa Contact force because it is exerted when two surfaces come in contact with each
other.
A 2Take an empty plastic bottle. Drillfour holes all around near the bottom of the bottie
Make sure that all the holes are at the same height from the bottom. Now fill the bottie
with water. We observe that different streams of water coming out of the holes fall at the
same distance from the bottle. This observation indicates that liquids exert equal pressure
at the same depth
A3 The forces which can be exerted from a distance, without establishing a contact are
called non-contact forces. Some non- contact forces are:

(i) Magnetic force: The force exerted by a magnet on other magnet or some other magnetic
substance like iron is called magnetic force. Like poles of a magnet repel each other and
unlike poles of a magnet attract each other without contact. So it is called non-contact
force.

(ii) Electrostatic force: The force exerted by a charged body on other charged or uncharged
body is called electrostatic force. Electrostatic force also acts without making a direct
contact with other charged or uncharged body. So it is also a non-contact force.
(iii) Force of gravity: Earth pulls every thing or body towards it.The force of attraction
exerted by earth on any object is called force of gravity. This is also anon-contact force as it
acts from a distance.

A 4 The various effects of force are:

(i) Aforce can make an object move from rest.

(ü) It can change the speed of a moving object.
(ii) It can bring about a change in the shape of an object.
(iv) It can change the direction of motion of an object.

(v) lt can cause some or all of these effects.
