    Case Study Questions on Friction

    Questions

    Question 1:

    Read the given passage below and answer the question:

    (I) The force required to overcome friction at the instant an object starts moving from rest is a
    measure of static friction. On the other hand, the force required to keep the object moving with the
    same speed is a measure of sliding friction. The sliding friction is slightly smaller than the static
    friction.
    When one body rolls over the surface of another body, the resistance to its motion is called rolling
    friction. Rolling reduces friction. It is always easier to roll than to slide a body over another.

    Q.1. The following options show arrangement of types of friction according to decreasing order of
    applied friction. Select the correct order.
    (a) Rolling > Sliding > Static
    (b) Static > Rolling > Sliding
    (c) Sliding > Static > Rolling
    (d) Static > Sliding > Rolling

    Difficulty Level: Easy

    Ans. Option (d) is correct.


    Explanation: Rolling friction is least among all three types because the surface of wheels has minimal
    contact with the surface on which it rolls, thus minimising friction.

    Q.2. In which of the following case one will have to apply maximum force?
    (a) Riding a bicycle
    (b) Trying to move a heavy rock from its resting place
    (c) Swimming in a pool
    (d) Drilling a hole in a wall

    Difficulty Level: Easy

    Ans. Option (b) is correct.


    Explanation: Stationary rock will experience static friction. Static friction is the highest; thus it will
    require maximum force or efforts to move it from its rest position.

    Q.3. Oiling or greasing in machine parts:


    (a) Increases the friction between the parts
    (b) Decreases the friction between the parts
    (c) Both (a) and (b) are correct.
    (d) None of the above

    Difficulty Level: Easy

    Ans. Option (b) is correct.

    Explanation: Oiling and greasing act as a lubricant. When oil, grease or graphite is applied between
    the moving part of a machine, a thin layer is formed there and moving surfaces do not directly rub
    against each other. Interlocking of irregularities is avoided to a great extent.
    Movement becomes smooth.
    Q.4. Why static friction is more than sliding friction?

    Difficulty Level: Easy

    Ans. The friction is caused by the interlocking of irregularities in the two surfaces. It is obvious that
    the force of friction will increase if the two surfaces are pressed harder.
    The force required to overcome friction at the instant an object starts moving from rest is a measure
    of static friction. On the other hand, the force required to keep the object moving with the same
    speed is a measure of sliding friction. When the box starts sliding, the contact points on its surface,
    do not get enough time to lock into the contact points on the floor. So, the sliding friction is slightly
    smaller than the static friction.

    Q.5. Classify the given examples into static, sliding and rolling friction Papers on a table, a box sliding
    on an inclined plain, car parked on a hill, ball moving on the ground, child playing on slide in a park,
    tyres of a bus.

    Difficulty Level: Easy

    Ans. Static Friction: Papers on a table, car parked on a hill.


    Sliding Friction: A box sliding on an inclined plain, child playing on slide in a park
    Rolling Friction: Ball movin

    uestion 1:

    Read the given passage below and answer the question:

    Raghav kept a mini sound player in each of two similar containers. He then tightly covered both the
    containers with stretched plastic sheets. He placed some tiny rubber beads on the surface of the
    sheets. The picture shows what Raghav noticed when he turned on the sound player.

    (i) Which of these questions can be answered using the result of Raghav’s activity?
    (a) Does sound travel as waves?
    (b) Does sound produce vibration?
    (c) Does sound travel through a vacuum?
    (d) Does sound travel faster in solids than in gases?

    Difficulty Level: Easy


    Ans. Option (b) is correct.
    Explanation: The question “Does sound produce vibration?” can be answered using the result of
    Raghav’s activity because the rubber beads started jumping due to vibrations produced when the
    sound player is turned on.

    (ii) Would the result of Raghav’s activity change if fewer beads had been used? Explain your answer.

    Difficulty Level: Easy

    Ans. No, the result would remain the same. This is because the vibration would still make the beads
    jump no matter what the number of beads present.

    Case-Based Study Questions:Read the case study and answer the questions that follow.

    Case Study: A student observes two different types of cells under a microscope: one with a

    well-defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and the other lacking a nucleus and

    membrane-bound organelles.

    Question . Identify and describe the differences between the two types of cells observed by the
    student.

    Question . Explain the significance of these differences in the structure and function of the cells.

    See answers
    *Question 1: Identify and describe the differences between the two types of cells observed by the
    student.*

    The two types of cells observed by the student are:

    1. *Eukaryotic cell*: This cell has a well-defined nucleus, which contains the genetic material, and
    membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus.
    The nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope, and the organelles
    are separated from the cytoplasm by membranes.

    2. *Prokaryotic cell*: This cell lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. The genetic material
    (DNA) is found in a single circular chromosome in the cytoplasm, and there are no membrane-bound
    organelles. The cell structure is simpler, with a single cell membrane and a cytoplasmic region
    containing the genetic material and metabolic enzymes.

    *Question 2: Explain the significance of these differences in the structure and function of the cells.*

    The differences in structure between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have significant implications for
    their function:

    1. *Genetic material organization*: Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, which allows for more complex
    genetic regulation and expression. Prokaryotic cells have a single circular chromosome, which limits
    their genetic complexity.

    2. *Cellular compartmentalization*: Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, which enable


    cellular compartmentalization and specialization of functions. Prokaryotic cells lack this
    compartmentalization, with all metabolic processes occurring in the cytoplasm.

    3. *Metabolic processes*: Eukaryotic cells can perform more complex metabolic processes, such as
    photosynthesis and aerobic respiration, due to their organelles. Prokaryotic cells have simpler
    metabolic processes, such as anaerobic respiration.

    4. *Cell size and complexity*: Eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex than
    prokaryotic cells, allowing for greater diversity in form and function.

    These differences reflect fundamental variations in the biology of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells,
    influencing their evolution, ecology, and interactions with their environments.
