ENTRY TEST
1. Four children were asked to arrange forces due to rolling, static and sliding frictions
in decreasing order. Their arrangements are given below. Choose the correct
arrangement.
(a) rolling, static, sliding
(b) rolling, sliding, static
(c) static, sliding, rolling
(d) sliding, static, rolling
2. When we press the bulb of a dropper with its nozzle kept in water, 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 rubber bulb
(d) atmospheric pressure
3. 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.
4. A duck can easily walk on mud but a man finds it difficult. Why?

Task: 1
Questions:
LEVEL 1:
1. Why is it easier for a camel to run in a desert?
2. (i) Give reason
a. Large suitcases are fitted with wheels.
b. Caterpillar tracks are used in battle tanks instead of tires.
c. Water comes out slowly from a tap at a higher level than from a similar tap at lower
level? Why?
LEVEL 2:
3. The drawing below shows a space buggy on the surface of Mars.
The weight of the buggy was 105 N on
Earth and 40 N on Mars.
a. Why was the weight of the buggy less on Mars than on Earth?
The buggy uses solar panels to generate electrical energy.
b. The solar panels generate less electrical energy on Mars than on Earth. Give a reason
why?
c. The weight of the buggy was 40 N on Mars. When the buggy landed on Mars it rested
on an area of 0.025 m2. Calculate the pressure exerted by the buggy on the surface of
Mars.
