Fill in the blanks with right answer (5*1=5)
1.) Weight is slightly _______ in sea level than mountains.
Answer: More
2.) _______ helps the earth to stay in its orbit.
Answer: The sun’s gravity
3.) A spring balance is used to measure_______.

5.) _______ is an example of contact force
Answer: Throwing a ball
Short answer questions (10*1=10)
1.) Give two examples of non-contact force.
Answer: Two examples of non-contact force are gravitational force and magnetic force.
2.) What is called gravitational force?
Answer: Gravitational force is the force that attracts objects with mass towards each other in the universe.
3.) What is mass?
Answer: Mass is the measure of the total amount of matter in a body. Mass is usually measured in kilograms.
4.) Describe force.
Answer: Force is an action that causes change of state, velocity and acceleration of an object.
5.) What is one difference between mass and weight?
Answer: Mass of an object is same everywhere but weight of an object differs from place to place.
6.) How altitude affects weight?
Answer: Weight drops slightly in higher altitude and decreases in lower altitude.
7.) What is weight?
Answer: Weight is the force that acts on an object due to Earth’s gravitational force.
8.) Why do objects fall when we drop them in the air?
Answer: Due to Earth’s gravity when an object falls the acceleration of the object remains vertically downward direction.
9.) Why does an object weigh more on the Earth than on the Moon?
Answer: The moon’s gravitational force is one sixth of the Earth due to its less mass, so the weight of an object is also one sixth as compared to its weight on the Earth.
10.) Where there is no gravitational pull on the Earth?
Answer: At the core/center of the Earth the gravitational force is zero.
