Read the following passage and answer the question below An object remains in the state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change that state by an applied force. In other words all objects resist a change in their state of motion. In a qualitative way, the tendency of undisturbed objects to stay at rest or to keep moving with the same velocity is called inertia. That is why the first law of motion is also called law of inertia. Certain experiences that we come across while travelling in a motorcar can be explained on the bases of this law of inertia. We tend to remain with respect to the seat until the driver applies a braking force to stop the motorcar. With the application of brakes, the car slows down but our body continues in the same state of motion because of inertia. QUESTION : When we stand in a stationary bus and the bus starts suddenly, we are thrown backwards, this is because of

Read the passage below and answer the following question Take an empty plastic bottle. Close the mouth of the bottle with an airtight stopper. Put it in a bucket filled with water. We can see that the bottle floats. Push the bottle into the water. We can feel an upward push. If we try to push it further down, it will be difficult to push it deeper and deeper. Now release the bottle. It bounces back to the surface.The force due to the gravitational attraction of the earth acts on the bottle in the downward direction. So the bottle is pulled downwards. But the water exerts an upward force on the bottle. Thus the bottle is pushed upwards. Also the weight of an object is the force due to gravitational attraction of the earth. When the bottle is immersed, the upward force exerted by the bottle by the water on the bottle is greater than its weight. Therefore it rises up when released. To keep the bottle completely immersed the upward force on the bottle due to water should be balanced. This can be achieved by an externally applied force acting downwards. This force must be at least equal to the difference between the upward force and the weight of the bottle. QUESTION : If the upward force exerted by the liquid is equal to the downward force due to the weight of the object then the object will

Read the following passage and answer the question given below The word energy is often used in our daily life, but in science we give it a precise meaning. Let us consider the following examples : when a fast moving cricket ball hits a stationary wicket, the wicket is thrown away. Similarly, an object when raised to a height gets the capability to do work. You must have seen that when a raised hammer falls on a nail placed on a piece of wood, it drives the nail into the wood. We have also observed children winding a toy and when the toy is placed on the floor it starts moving. When a balloon is filled with air and when we press it we notice a change in shape. As long as we press it gently, it can come back to its original shape when the force is withdrawn. However if we press the balloon hard it might explode. In all these cases the object acquire through different means the capability of doing work.An object having the capability to do work is said to posses energy. The object which does work losses energy and the object on which work is done gains energy. QUESTION : The energy possessed by the toy when it moves on the floor is
