4.

What is the equation used to calculate pressure?

a)

pressure= force/mass

b)

pressure =mass/volume

c)

pressure=area/force

d)

pressure=force/area

9.

What is described as a change in its state of motion?

a)

If the force applied on the object is in the direction of its motion, the speed of the object increases.

b)

If the force applied on the object is in the direction of its motion, and its direction changes.

c)

A change in either the speed of an object, or its direction of motion, or both, is described as a change in its state of motion.

Why do the shape and size of balloon change when filled with air or water?

a)

Because Air is a non contact force

b)

The high pressure produced by the gas or water molecules on the walls of balloon causes it to expand and get inflated.

c)

because the atmospheric pressure acting on our body of the balloon

d)

the shape and size of the balloon does not change

21.

Why water comes out more slowly from an upstairs tap than from a similar tap downstairs?

a)

This is so because the water pressure is less in the upstairs tap due to lesser depth.

because water finds its own level

c)

As the depth of water increases, the pressure also increases.

d)

none of these
