Climbing the hill or breaking the stairs takes more effort because
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
it needs to work against the force of gravityAt the time of climbing the
hill or breaking the stairs you have to push your body upwards, whereas you
don't have to do, while getting down. It’s the Gravity. When you are climbing up, gravity will be working against you,
pulling you down and hence you have to pose more force.

Sailboats can also use completely opposite winds for their forward motion because ............................. .
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
The portion of the force is kept active in the forward directionSailboats can't sail
directly against the wind, but they can sail using sail on it. Because of the interaction between the lift generated by the
sails in the air and the boat in the water.
Sails, with momentum, generate lift like an airplane wing perpendicular to the
flow of air across them.

What would be the weight of an object when it is raised from the surface?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
DecreaseWhen an object is raised from the surface of the Earth, its
distance from the center of the Earth increases, resulting in a decrease in the
gravitational force acting on it. As gravitational force weakens with height,
the object's weight decreases.
84
For which condition of an elevator does a person feel weightless?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
When the elevator descends below the acceleration “g”If the elevator descends
freely, the cord of the elevator is torn, below the acceleration “g”, a person
within the elevator feels weightless.
If the elevator descends the acceleration “g”, a person
within the elevator feels less than the original weight.
85
The weight of a person standing in a descending lift ......................... .
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
DecreasesThe weight of a person standing in a descending lift decreases because the
lift is accelerating downward. When the lift moves down, the person experiences
a reduction in the normal force exerted by the floor of the lift, which is what
we feel as weight. This is due to the relative motion between the person and
the lift, leading to a feeling of lighter weight. If the lift were in free
fall, the weight would become zero.
When a lift descends the apparent weight of a standing
person inside it decreases as weight R=mg-ma=m(g-a).
86
If an object is taken to the moon, its weight .............................. .
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
will decreaseThe weight of an object on the earth is equal to
multiplication of its mass and gravitational acceleration of the earth. The
moon has one-sixth the acceleration than the earth. Hence, if an object is
taken to moon, its weight will be reduced to one-sixth of the earth.
87
Where is the weight of an object is the most?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
In the polar regionThe weight of an object is greatest in the polar region because the
Earth is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator due to its
rotation. This means the distance from the Earth's center to the poles is
shorter than at the equator. Since gravitational force is stronger when objects
are closer to the Earth's center, an object weighs more at the poles than at
the equator.

Why do astronauts feel weightless while orbiting the earth?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
The astronauts have a mean acceleration equal to “g”.Astronauts, orbiting the earth, do feel weightless as there
is no ground or any other force to counteract the force of gravity; i.e. the
astronauts orbiting the earth have acceleration equal to gravity.
89
Why do we lean forward while climbing the mountain up?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
To maintain equilibrium position of our body.As the mountain slope is inclined at an angle from the
normal ground, our body leans forward so that center of gravity becomes low in
order to maintain the equilibrium position, provided that we don’t fall on our
back.

What is the main task of lubrication system?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
Reduce temperature caused by friction between sliding or rolling parts.Lubrication system first used by Wright Brothers. This
system is considered to reduce temperature caused by friction between sliding
or rolling parts, give a flow to the clean oil at the accurate temperature,
with appropriate pressure to each part of the engine.
