Class 8 Science Chapter 8 Important Questions for Practice

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.

Two forces acting on the rocket immediately after leaving the launching pad are:
Frictional force due to air.
Force of gravity pulling in downward direction.

An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. What force might be responsible for the attraction between the balloon and the wall?

The force which is responsible for the attraction between the ball and the wall is electrostatic force.
When we rub the balloon by a synthetic cloth, it gets charged. When it is taken near the wall, it will get attracted towards the uncharged wall because of the electrostatic force which is the force exerted by a charged body on another uncharged body.

A blacksmith hammers a hot piece of iron while making a tool. How does the force due to hammering affect the piece of iron?

The force due to hammering change the shape of the piece of iron.

Name the forces acting on a plastic bucket containing water held above ground level in your hand. Discuss why the forces acting on the bucket do not bring a change in its state of motion.

The force acting on a plastic bucket are:
Gravitational force: It is acting downwards.
Muscular force: It is applied by our hands to lift the bucket in upward direction.
Although these forces are acting on the bucket but no change is found in its state of motion because the two forces are balancing each other and as a result net force is zero.
