Friction Assignment 2324 AK

This document contains an assignment on the chapter of friction for class 8 science students. It includes multiple choice questions testing understanding of concepts like friction force, factors affecting friction, and situations involving friction. It also has assertion-reason type questions and short answer questions assessing comprehension of friction topics such as static and kinetic friction, rough vs smooth surfaces, direction of friction force, and practical applications of friction principles.

BLUE BELLS MODEL SCHOOL

CLASS: VIII
SCIENCE
ASSIGNMENT-I
CHAPTER: FRICTION

Q.1 Choose the right option:


1) Which option describes a situation where resistance accompanies the applied force?
(a) while kicking a football
(b) while opening the door
(c) while lifting the bucket
(d) while burning a matchstick
2) A student designed a model of a car ramp. The student wants to cover the ramp so that
the car could stop after travelling a small distance. Which material would be best to
cover the ramp?
(a) Newspaper
(b) Glossy paper
(c) Sandpaper
(d) Butter paper

3) The image shows two blocks resting on ground.

Block X is easier to move than Block Y. Why is block X easier to move?


(a) the surface is pressed harder by block X because of lesser mass, so greater is the
friction
(b) the surface is pressed harder by block Y because of greater mass, so greater is the
friction
(c) the surface is pressed harder by block X because of lesser mass, so lower is the
friction
(d) the surface is pressed harder by block Y because of lesser mass, so lower is the
4) The image shows a person rowing a boat over a river.

Identify the number of bodies experiencing friction.


(a) 1, boat because of the river
(b) 1, boat because of the person

(c) 2, boat because of the river and the person because of air
(d) 2, boat because of air and river and the person because of air
5) A student rolls a marble on two different surfaces with the same force. The table shows
the distance travelled in each trial.

Why does the marble travel a greater distance on glossy paper but not on sandpaper?

(a) because the mass of the marble on sandpaper is high


(b) because the mass of the marble on glossy paper is high
(c) because interlocking between the surface of marble and sandpaper is high
(d) because interlocking between the surface of marble and glossy paper is high

Q.2 Pick the correct option based on assertion and reason in the questions given below:
a) Assertion (A): Gases exert drag on the objects floating in air.
Reason (R): Drag can be minimized by using stream line shape in the objects.
i. Both ‘A’ and ‘R’ are true and ‘R’ is the correct explanation of ‘A’.
ii. Both ‘A’ and ‘R’ are true but ‘R’ is not the correct explanation of ‘A’.
iii. ‘A’ is false but ‘R’ is true.
iv. ‘A’ is true but ‘R’ is false.
b) Assertion (A): In many machines, friction is reduced by using ball bearings.
Reason (R): Friction is always undesirable for us.
i. Both ‘A’ and ‘R’ are true and ‘R’ is the correct explanation of ‘A’.
ii. Both ‘A’ and ‘R’ are true but ‘R’ is not the correct explanation of ‘A’.
iii. ‘A’ is false but ‘R’ is true.
iv. ‘A’ is true but ‘R’ is false.

Q.3 Answer these questions briefly:


I. What kind of friction comes into play?
(a) When a block of wood kept on table moves slowly sliding
(b) When a block of wood kept on table just tends to move (or slip) sliding
(c) When a block of wood kept on cylindrical iron rods moves sliding
(d) When a roller skater just rolls down the skates rolling
Q II. Which type of surface produce (a) more friction and (b) less friction
More :rough surface less :smooth
Q III. A car is moving towards North. What will be the direction of force of friction acting on this car due
to surface of road? Towards South
Q IV. Why does a man slip when he steps on a banana peel thrown on the road?
Less interlocking and less friction

Q VI. Explain why: (a) a pencil will write on paper but not on glass (b) The handles of motor cycle are
covered with a rubber sheet with spikes.
a.less friction
b.to increase the frictional force and for strong grip.
