Educational worksheet on types of force with interactive exercises and illustrations.

Let's solve the "Force, Types of Force (Worksheet)" step by step. I'll go through each section and provide clear explanations for the answers.

---

Q1: Fill in the blanks with suitable words

a) A push or a pull that acts on an object is called force
b) The unit for measuring force is the newton (N)
c) Non-contact force is a force that acts on an object without directly touching it.
d) Contact force is a force that acts on an object through direct touching.

✔ Explanation:
- Force is any interaction that can change the motion of an object.
- The newton (N) is the SI unit of force.
- Non-contact forces act at a distance (e.g., gravity, magnetic).
- Contact forces require physical touch (e.g., friction, applied force).

Q2: Label what type of force is illustrated in the pictures below

We have 6 images:

1. Person pushing a cart → Applied Force
✔ *Explanation*: You apply a force manually to move the cart.

2. Airplane flying → Lift Force or Aerodynamic Force, but likely Air resistance / Drag is implied here due to arrows pointing backward.
However, if the image shows upward lift, then Lift Force. But since the arrow is backward, it’s probably Air resistance.
⚠️ Based on typical worksheet logic: Air resistance

3. Woman pushing a shopping cart → Applied Force
✔ Same as first one – direct push.

4. Hot air balloon rising → Buoyant Force
✔ The upward push from the surrounding air.

5. Spring being compressed → Spring Force
✔ Springs exert a restoring force when compressed or stretched.

6. Magnet attracting a metal object → Magnetic Force
✔ Non-contact force between magnets and metals.

7. Children pulling a rope → Tension Force
✔ Tension occurs along a rope or string when pulled.

8. Ball submerged in water → Buoyant Force
✔ Water pushes up on the ball, opposing gravity.

> So the labels are:
> 1. Applied Force
> 2. Air resistance
> 3. Applied Force
> 4. Buoyant Force
> 5. Spring Force
> 6. Magnetic Force
> 7. Tension Force
> 8. Buoyant Force

Q3: Write True or False

a) Forces can change the speed, direction or shape of an object.
→ True
✔ Forces cause acceleration (change in speed/direction) and can deform objects.

b) The faster an object is moving, the greater the force on it.
→ False
✘ Speed doesn’t determine force. Force depends on mass and acceleration (F = ma). A fast-moving object may have no net force acting on it (constant velocity).

c) Force is a scalar quantity, which means its magnitude depends on direction.
→ False
✘ Force is a vector quantity — it has both magnitude and direction. Scalar quantities don't have direction.

d) Gravitational force pulls objects toward each other.
→ True
✔ Gravity attracts masses toward each other.

e) When two forces act in opposite directions, the net force is the sum of the two forces.
→ False
✘ If they are in opposite directions, you subtract them to get net force. Net force = |F₁ - F₂|, not sum.

f) Newton realized a force by observing the falling apple.
→ True
✔ This is a famous anecdote about Newton discovering gravity.

Q4: What type of force causes an apple to fall?

a) Tension
b) Gravity
c) Buoyant
d) Magnetic

→ Answer: b) Gravity
✔ Gravity pulls the apple downward toward Earth.

---

Q5: Which one of the following forces is a contact force?

a) Tension
b) Gravity
c) Magnetic
d) Electrostatic

→ Answer: a) Tension
✔ Tension is a contact force because it requires a rope/string to be physically pulled.
- Gravity, magnetic, and electrostatic are non-contact forces.

---

Q6: Which one of the following is *not* a contact force?

a) Applied force
b) Normal force
c) Tension force
d) Magnetic force

→ Answer: d) Magnetic force
✔ Magnetic force is non-contact — works at a distance.
Others are all contact forces:
- Applied: hand pushes
- Normal: surface supports
- Tension: rope pulls

Word Search Puzzle

#### Hidden Words to Find:
From the descriptions, we need to find these words:

1. Push or pull causing change in speed, direction, or shape → Force
2. The unit for measuring force → Newton
3. Force that acts on an object through direct touching → Contact Force
4. Force that acts on an object without any contact with it → Non-contact Force
5. Type of non-contact force that pulls things toward center of Earth → Gravity
6. Type of contact force that opposes motion → Friction
7. Type of friction that occurs in air → Air resistance
8. Type of contact force applied by a stretched rope → Tension
9. Type of contact force always perpendicular to surface → Normal
10. Force that a fluid exerts on an object placed in it → Buoyant
11. Non-contact attraction/repulsion by magnets → Magnetic
12. Type of contact force caused by compressed/stretched spring → Spring
13. Type of contact force applied by another object → Applied

Now locate these in the grid:

Let’s scan the word search:

- FORCE → Found horizontally near top: `F O R C E` (row 1)
- NEWTON → Look for N-E-W-T-O-N → Found vertically or diagonally? Try row 5: `N E W T O N` → Yes, row 5: "N E W T O N"
- CONTACT → Row 7: `C O N T A C T`
- NON-CONTACT → Long word; look for “NON” and “CONTACT” together → Row 11: `N O N C O N T A C T` → yes!
- GRAVITY → Row 10: `G R A V I T Y`
- FRICTION → Row 14: `F R I C T I O N`
- AIR RESISTANCE → Check rows: maybe split? Or full? In row 1: `A I R R E S I S T A N C E` → yes!
- TENSION → Row 15: `T E N S I O N`
- NORMAL → Row 12: `N O R M A L`
- BUOYANT → Row 11: `B U O Y A N T`
- MAGNETIC → Row 13: `M A G N E T I C`
- SPRING → Row 2: `S P R I N G`
- APPLIED → Row 14: `A P P L I E D`

✔ All words can be found.
