Fill in the blanks and complete the following paragraph . (words given: upward, friction,negligible,downward , gravitational , buoyance , very large, electric) When a body falls in air, there are three forces acting on the body : (1) the gravitational force due to the earth, acting........(2) the force of ........ due to air, acting .....(3) the force due to...... with air, acting in the direction oppositeto that of the velocity of the body. Under certain conditions, the force of buoyancy due to air and friction with air can be....... compared to the.......force of the earth. In that case (near the earth's surface) the body falls with almost uniform acceleration (g). Whenever a body moves under the influence of the force of gravity alone, it is said to be falling freely. Strictly speaking, this is true only if the body falls in vaccum.

Complete the following paragraph: (Words given: chemical reactions, upward, downward, burns, compressed, fuel) Launching of a rocket is based on Newton's laws of motion. When the ......... in the rocket is ignited, it ......... as a result of ......... and the ......... hot gases are thrown out with a tremendous force in the ......... direction, through a small opening in the tail of the rocket. At the same time, the escaping gases exert an equal (in magnitude) and opposite (in direction force of reaction on the rocket in the......... direction. As this force is greater than the net downward force (in magnitude) due to gravity and air resistance, the velocity of the rocket increases as it moves upward.

Question based on paragraph : A boy pushed his toy car on a table . The car moved ahead and stopped after travelling a certain distance . But when he kept on pushing his car , the car started moving with a uniform velocity . The boy later decided to do some adventurous activity while playing with his car , so he launched his toy car from a platform to a bucket filled with water as soon as the car landed inside the bucket , the water from the bucket splashed out and the boy enjoyed his new game .: Which type of force was applied by the boy when he kept on pushing the car ?
