Test understanding. select the Correct Answer
the action of push or pull which makes body move or brings them to rest is known as
- force
- pressure
- thrust
- newton's 2nd law
force changes or tends to change the
- state of body
- direction of moving body
- shape of body
- all of these
the direction of force is same in the direction of
- push
- pull
- both push and pull
- any direction
which of the following is a vector quantity?
- force
- thrust
- pressure
- both force and thrust
vector quantity has
- magnitude only
- direction only
- magnitude as well as direction
- cant be determined
force depends on which of the following factors
- magnitude of force
- area over which force acts
- direction of force
- all of these
unit of force is
- newton
- pascal
- decible
- metre
force acting perpendicularly on any given surface area of body is called
- thrust
- pressure
- friction
- none of these
which of the following quantity has unit newton
- force
- thrust
- pressure
- both force and thrust
- both force and pressure
effect of force can be measured by physical quantity called
- thrust
- pressure
- friction
- none of these
effect of pressure can be increased by
- increasing thrust or increasing area of contact
- increasing thrust or decreasing area of contact
- decreasing thrust or increasing area of contact
- decreasing thrust or decreasing area of contact
the amount of force of air that acts downward on unit surface area is called
- pressure
- atmospheric pressure
- thrust
- atmospheric thrust
atmospheric pressure is measured by device named
- barometer
- centimeter
- speedometer
- pascalmeter
value of atmospheric pressure at sea level is
- 750 mm
- 760 mm
- 770 mm
- 780 mm
the pressure exerted by the mercury column of height 76cm in the barometer is called
- 1 atm
- 1 pascal
- 1 newton
- 1 mm
An upward force is exerted by water on a floating or a partly submerged body is called
- frictional force
- buoyant force
- atmospheric pressure
- thrust
buoyant force is exerted by
- solids only
- liquid only
- gas only
- fluids
If the weight of the object is less than the upward force, then the object will
- float
- sink
- submerged
- cant determine
the force acting on unit area of surface, on which the liquid is placed is called
- static pressure of liquid
- dynamic pressure of liquid
- surface tension
- none of these
instrument used to measure the difference in liquid pressure is called
- barometer
- nanometer
- manometer
- centimeter
