Always act on the same body

b)

Always act on the different bodies in opposite directions

c)

Have same magnitude and direction

d)

Acts on either body at normal to each other

5.

a)

Newton’s first law of motion

b)

Newton’s second law of motion

c)

Newton’s third law of motion

d)

Newton’s law of gravitation

9.

a)

Balanced forces act on the balloon

b)

Unbalanced forces act on the balloon

c)

Frictional forces act on the balloon

d)

Gravitational force acts on the balloon

10.

54000 kg m/s

d)

54000 g m/s

11.

Newton’s first law of motion says that a moving body should continue to move forever , unless some external forces act on it. But a moving cycle comes to rest after some time if we stop pedaling it.

Can you choose the correct reason for the stoppage of cycle?

i. Air resistance

ii. Gravitational pull of the earth

iii. Friction of the road

iv. Heat of the environment


Choose the correct option:

a)

(iii) and (iv)

b)

(i) and (iii)

c)

(i) and (ii)

d)

(ii) and (iii)

12.

a)

(i) and (ii)

b)

only (ii)

c)

only (i)

d)

(iii) and (iv)

13.

What options are true about momentum?

(more than one options can be correct)

a)

Momentum is a vector quantity

b)

The Unit of Momentum is kgm/s

c)

Momentum is a scalar quantity

d)

When two bodies acts on each other and no external force is acting on the system, then the momentum remains constant

14.

The image shows one empty trolley and one filled with grocery. Less force is required to push or pull the lighter trolley because of its less mass and it will have less acceleration as compared to the filled trolley.

a)

True

b)

False

15.

Two kids are playing on the skateboard. Skateboard moves ahead when the kids apply force on the road. According to Newtons Third Law of motion this is possible because of action-reaction of 2 forces.

b)

Friction = Reaction, Force on the road = Action

c)

Drag = Action, Force on the road = Reaction

d)

Friction = Action, Drag = Reaction
