Class 8 Science Chapter 9 MCQ

That car travels a larger distance on the “wet marble floor” and a shortest distance will cover in “towel”. And “dry marble floor” resist less friction force than “newspaper”. Hence, force of friction acting on the car on different surfaces in increasing order will be option [A] as “wet marble floor, dry marble floor, newspaper and then towel”.

We know that friction force acts in an opposite direction to the direction in which an object moves. The maximum frictional force present between two objects is static friction. And sliding friction is smaller than static friction. And rolling friction is much less than sliding friction. Hence, your answer will be option [C].

It will go farthest on the surface having least frictional force i.e., the polished marble surface.

The spring balance is a device which is used for measuring force acting on an object. The spring balance contain a coiled spring which gets stretched when a force is applied to its free end or hook end. When the spring balance is held vertically, it is said to measure the weight of an object hung from its hook, because weight of an object is also a force. Therefore, a spring balance is a device, used to measure force acting on an object and weight of an object.

The friction will decrease because oil acts as a lubricant which reduce friction.

The friction between two surfaces depends on two factors first is, the nature of the two surfaces or smoothness or roughness of the two surfaces and second is, the force with which two surfaces are pressed together or weight. But amount of surface area of the two objects which is in contact with each other does not depend on the friction force.

Friction will act in case of ball moving through air always.

We know that friction force acts in an opposite direction to the direction in which an object moves. The maximum frictional force present between two objects is static friction. And sliding friction is smaller than static friction. And rolling friction is much less than sliding friction. Here, sliding friction is less than rolling friction is incorrect. Rest of all are correct.

She should use gravel surface path because only in this path. She will have sufficient friction force to walk easily.

We know that friction force acts in an opposite direction to the direction in which an object moves. The maximum frictional force present between two objects is static friction. And sliding friction is smaller than static friction. And rolling friction is much less than sliding friction. The relationship between the three types of friction is: The static friction > Sliding Friction > Rolling friction. Thus, the rolling friction will be less than 20N.

We know that friction force acts in an opposite direction to the direction in which an object moves. The maximum frictional force present between two objects is static friction. And sliding friction is smaller than static friction. And rolling friction is much less than sliding friction. The relationship between the three types of friction is: The static friction > Sliding Friction > Rolling friction. Thus, the sliding friction will be less than 50N. Hence, your answer will be option [B].

The friction between two surfaces depends on two factors first is, the nature of the two surfaces or smoothness or roughness of the two surfaces and second is, the force with which two surfaces are pressed together or weight. As the roughness of the surface increases, the friction increases. Here, glazed paper, glass table top and aluminium frame produces less friction than “sand paper”. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Using a dry lubricant or talcum powder to reduce the friction on carom board.

Remember, friction enables a ladder to be leaned against the wall and not slip down to the floor. The irregularities capture the both ends of ladders.

Mustard oil reduces the friction on his hands. So, Glass tumbler will be most difficult to handle. Rest of all have much irregularities to hold. And glass has very smooth surface. Hence, your answer will be option [C].

Friction is force that only occurs when an object moves. The force of friction acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion of an object.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Wrapping of jute clothes make the surface of brick more-rough due to which the friction with floor increases.
