FORCES AND MAGNETS
Q-1 What is a force?
Ans The push or pull experienced by any object is known as force.
Q-2 What is a push?
Ans A push moves an object away from you.
Q-3 What is pull?
Ans A pull moves an object towards you.
Q-4 How we indicate direction of a force?
Ans We indicte direction of force with an arrow.
Q-5 How we we measure force?
Ans We measure force through forcemeter.
Q-6 What is unit of Force?
Ans Newton “N”
Q-7 What is weight?
Ans Weight is a measure of the gravitational force with which an object is drawn to the
center of Earth.
Q-8 What type of force is the gravitational force?
Ans Gravitational force is a non-contact force.
Q-9 The greater the mass the greater the gravitational force will be.
Q-10 Mass is measured in grams.
Q-11 What forces can do to objects?
Ans Forces can change the shape of an object.
Q-12 By applying push force on metal we can change its shape.
Q-13 Which force is used to make moulds?
Ans A push force.
Q-14 How do you start or stop a car?
Ans We use forces to start or stop a car.
Q-15 Forces can make objects more faster or slower.
Q-16 Different surfaces affect how fast or slowly the objects move across them.
Q-17 What is a friction?
Ans It is a force that happens when two surfaces rub together.
Q-18 What does friction force do?
Ans It is a contact force that gives us a grip and slows things down.
Q-19 The forces which require contact like friction between the surfaces of objects are called
contact forces.
Q-20 Brakes use friction to stop or slow down objects.
Q-21 Forces can make objects _change direction_.
Q-22 What do magnets do?
Ans Magnet can pull some material towards them and can also push some material away
from them.
Q-23 Force of Magentism causes magnets to attract or push away objects.
Q-24 Force of Magnetism is a non-contact force.
Q-25 How many types of magnets are there?
Ans There are two types of magnets i.e. Natural and Human made maget
Q-26 Lodestone is a natural magnet.
Q-27 Give examples of non-magnet materials?
Ans Wood, plastic, gold, silver, copper and aluminum.
Q-28 Give examples of magnetic materials?
Ans Iron, steel, nickel and cobalt.
Q-29 What is law of magnetism?
Ans It states that like Opposite poles attract and like poles repel each other.
Q-30 What are the poles of magnets?
Ans There are two poles of magnets i.e. North pole and South pole
Q-31 When magnets attract magnetic materials very powerfully, they have high magnetic
strength.
Q-32 Magnets have different magnetic strengths.
Q-33 What is magnetism?
Ans It is an invisible force of attraction between some metals. It comes from billions of tiny
particles called atoms that make up the metal.
Q-34 In non-magnet materials, the atoms point in all directions.
Q-35 In magnet materials, the North pole of magnet points towards North and South pole of
magnet points towards South .
Q-36 The earth has a centre with liquid core. The core is made of molten metals which are
magnetic. It creates a massive magnetic pulling force at each end. This force wraps around
the earth’s surface and creates Earth’s magnetic field with a North end and a south end.
Q-37 Magnets have a South pole and North pole.
Q-38 What is a compass?
Ans A compass is a magnet that can turn freely so it always lies in the North to South
direction.
Q-39 Magnet can help us find North and South poles.
Q-40 The magnetic forces on Earth come out near the North pole and South poles. These
two forces attract each other and bend around the Earth’s surface to meet in the middle.
Q-41 Opposite poles of a magnet attract each other.
Q-42 Like poles of a magent repel each other.
Q-43 Magnet force is used in hundreds of things that we use every day.
Q-44 The magnet powered by electricity is called electro magnet.
