The set has three parts: 25 concept and application questions, 15 statement-based, assertion-reason and match questions, and 10 achiever (higher-order thinking) questions. Full solutions are given at the end.

Quick Revision: Key Points

• Pressure = force ÷ area (unit: pascal, 1 Pa = 1 N/m²). Weight is a force and is measured in newtons.
• A force can change speed, direction of motion and shape, but not mass.
• Gravitational, magnetic and electrostatic forces act without contact. Muscular force and friction need contact.
• Liquid pressure increases with depth and acts in all directions. Gas pressure is caused by particles hitting the walls.
• Atmospheric pressure is due to the weight of air above us, decreases with height, and is measured with a barometer.

Olympiad Exam Tips

• Read all four options before choosing. Olympiad options are often very close to each other.
• Convert everything to SI units (N, m², Pa) before calculating. Remember 1 cm² = 0.0001 m².
• In assertion-reason questions, decide whether A is true and whether R is true separately. Only then decide if R explains A.
• In statement-based questions, test each statement on its own and eliminate options one by one.
• Practice with a timer, at about one minute per question.

How to use this set: attempt Part A first, then Part B and Part C. Mark the questions you found tricky in this class 8 Olympiad physics force pressure MCQs and read their solutions carefully.

Additionally, let us start with class 8 force and pressure difficult questions.

Practice them with pen and paper. Use the solutions at the end to check steps of your working for class 8 force and pressure difficult questions.

Quick Revision: Formulas and Tips

• Pressure P = F ÷ A. This also gives F = P × A and A = F ÷ P.
• Convert units before calculating: 1 cm² = 0.0001 m² and 1 kPa = 1,000 Pa.
• A block has the same weight on every face, so it exerts the greatest pressure on its smallest face and the least on its largest face.
• Forces along the same line add up if they act in the same direction and are subtracted if they act in opposite directions. A net force of zero means the forces are balanced.
• Balanced forces do not change the state of rest or motion of an object.
• Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 10⁵ Pa (100 kPa).
• Liquid pressure increases with depth, and at a given depth it acts equally in all directions.

How to use this set: work out each question on paper.

Additionally, compare with the answer key.

Quick Revision: Key Points

• Force is a push or a pull. Its SI unit is the newton (N).
• A force can change the speed, the direction of motion or the shape of an object. It cannot change the mass.
• Contact forces: muscular force and friction. Non-contact forces: gravitational, magnetic and electrostatic forces.
• Pressure = force ÷ area. Its SI unit is the pascal (Pa), where 1 Pa = 1 N/m².
• For the same force, a smaller area gives more pressure and a larger area gives less pressure.
• Liquids exert pressure on the bottom and walls of the container, and the pressure increases with depth.
• Gases exert pressure on the walls of their container in all directions.
• Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air above us, and it decreases as we go higher.

The post Force and Pressure MCQs Class 8: 20 Easy Questions + Answers first appeared on Winner Science.

Ten years from now, a student will sit in a classroom, open a laptop, and run a calculation that would have taken today’s most powerful supercomputers thousands of years. The student won’t feel amazed. For them, it will be normal.

This is how technological revolutions usually arrive — quietly at first, then all at once.

Quantum computing is no longer a science-fiction idea locked inside research labs. Governments are funding it, companies are racing to commercialize it, and universities are redesigning courses around it. But its biggest impact won’t just be faster machines.

It will reshape jobs, careers, and the very definition of valuable skills.

What Makes Quantum Computing Different?

Classical computers think in bits — 0 or 1. Quantum computers think in qubits, which can exist in multiple states at the same time. This strange behavior, rooted in quantum physics, allows quantum machines to explore enormous numbers of possibilities simultaneously.

Instead of checking one solution after another, quantum computers examine many solutions at once.

That difference changes everything.

The First Jobs Quantum Computing May Disrupt

Every major technology first disrupts existing roles before creating new ones. Quantum computing will follow the same pattern.

1. Traditional Cryptography Roles

Much of today’s digital security depends on mathematical problems that are extremely hard for classical computers to solve. Quantum computers will be able to solve many of them much faster.

This means:

• Some current encryption methods will become obsolete
• Cybersecurity professionals must adapt or reskill

But this disruption doesn’t mean job loss — it means job transformation.

2. Optimization-Based Professions

Industries like logistics, finance, and supply chain management rely heavily on optimization problems.

Quantum computers can:

• Optimize routes, schedules, and resources more efficiently
• Reduce costs and energy consumption

Professionals who understand both industry problems and quantum solutions will be in high demand.

New Careers Quantum Computing Will Create

Every technological leap creates roles that didn’t exist before. Quantum computing is already doing this.

1. Quantum Software Developer

These professionals write algorithms designed specifically for quantum machines. They combine:

• Physics concepts
• Mathematics
• Programming skills

This role doesn’t require being a physicist — but it does require learning how quantum systems behave.

2. Quantum Hardware Engineer

Quantum computers are extremely sensitive machines. They require:

• Cryogenic temperatures
• Precise control systems
• Advanced materials

Engineers working at this intersection of physics and engineering will become critical.

3. Quantum Algorithm Researcher

Not every job will be industrial. Research roles will expand in:

• Universities
• Government labs
• Private research centers

These researchers design new ways to use quantum systems for real-world problems.

Industries That Will Hire Quantum Talent

Quantum computing won’t remain isolated in tech companies. Its influence will spread across industries.

Healthcare and Drug Discovery

Quantum simulations can model molecular interactions with incredible accuracy. This may:

• Reduce drug development time
• Create personalized medicine

Scientists who can bridge biology and quantum modeling will be rare and valuable.

Finance and Risk Analysis

Financial markets involve complex probability systems. Quantum models can:

• Analyze risks more deeply
• Improve portfolio optimization

What is inside a star? Forget about other things. Let us concentrate that only hydrogen is there (of course other atoms are there also) and with help of fusion reaction hydrogen combine to form helium and in fusion lots of heat is released that acts as fuel for star to burn. But inside a star, there is gravity that always act in a direction opposite to the direction of fuel. It means fuel and gravity balance each other and the star burns. Now everything has a life time. Star also.

The continuous burning of fuel will lead to fusion process to become weak and other elements in star also burn or combine except iron to release heat. But when there remains only iron, then there is no heat energy released, it means there is no fuel to make the star shine or alive. Now the gravity will dominate and under the influence of this gravity the whole mass of star will start to squeeze at a point and star will become denser and denser and infinite dense.  (From where this gravity comes? Gravity is due to Newton’s law of gravitation that is all the matter in this universe attracts each other.)

Let us go into the history of Einstein general theory of relativity. As per his theory, when a massive star die and when the core mass will become atleast three times th mass of sun, then the force of gravity is the most dominant force and the balck hole will originate.

But wait, there is nothing like hole here. As notning can escape from here not even light, that is why it is known as black hole as it is absorbing everything not reflecting anything.

Thus black hole means that in a very very small area, extreme amount of matter is packed so it is very dense area so has immense gravity that nothing can escape.

This is how a Black hole is formed. In the coming articles, I will discuss the parts or components or anatomy of black holes. Also, I will discuss the Types of Black holes. One can study about the Black holes from NASA website also.

Then you must have table in your home. It has Length with the parameters like mas. The length is measured in units of Meter. Yes. Most of us wake up or try to wake up in the morning with help of alarm bell of clock. The clock tells us time in unit of seconds.

In many cases, the temperature is measured in units of kelvin, the other quantity like Luminous Intensity has unit candela, The electric current is measured in units of ampere and quantity of matter in moles.

Let us summarize what we have mentioned in above paragraphs: kilogram,, metre, second, kelvin, candela, ampere, mole. These 7 units are known as Fundamental units. Why fundamental units, because all these units are independent of each other.

There are 2 supplementary fundamental units also. One is radian and other steradian of quantities of plane angle and solid angle respectively.

Derived units:

Those units which are derived from fundamental units are known as derived units. It means they depend upon fundamental units. For example, units of area is metre square. Unit of speed is metre per second, unit of acceleration is metre per second square.

This is all about the difference between fundamental units and derive units.

Let us think about many things that you feel, observe or see during your daily routine. You woke with a sound of alarm. Thus, basically what is sound, how it reaches your ear is again the branch of Physics that is known as Acoustics.

Let us take another example, why sky is blue? This is again due to a wonderful phenomenon of nature that is Scattering.

If someone got fracture and how to diagnose it. Of course, many times with X rays and many times a serious disease with MRI. This is again Physics.

How astronauts travel to space. By using many applications pf Physics like gravity etc.

How light travels, this is studied by another branch pf Physics that is Optics.

How water is used to generate electricity, how wind mills run, how solar energy trapped and generate electricity, and there are so many examples of Physics and its applications.

On the basis of these applications, Physics may be broadly divided into following types but not limited to this only:

1. Mechanics
2. Optics
3. Energy
4. High Energy
5. Relativity
6. Electrodynamics
7. Superconductivity
8. Nuclear Physics
9. Particle Physics
10. Quantum Physics
11. Semiconductor Physics
12. Astronomy
13. Acoustics
14. Thermodynamics
15. Condensed matter Physics

Thus, there are so many applications of Physics. One can say that many applications, equations, concepts of Mathematics, chemistry, biology are originated from Physics.

This is all about Physics, a beautiful branch of Science. Please share the examples of Physics that you observe in your daily life in comments section. Thanks.

In everyday life, we see very beautiful phenomenon like rainbow, blue sky, red sun during sunrise and sunset etc. We see astronauts going to space. Now after every these processes, there is Science.

Origin of Term Science:

Science term is originated from laten term SCIENTIA which means to know or Knowledge. It means science means to have knowledge of something. One can see the worldhistory website also regarding origin of term science.

Scientists all over the world do theoretical and experimental research and this research is applied in various fields like Physics, chemistry, environment, energy etc.

Types of Science:

Science can be broadly classified into three categories:

a) Physical Science like Physics, Chemistry etc

b) Earth Science like Geologist, Environmentalist etc.

c) Life Science like Agriculturist etc.

This is the basic definition of Science and their types. I hope you have understood.

As white light from Sun consists of seven colors. Exactly, you are right that is the color of Rainbow that is VIBGYOR. You must have seen the same during experiment with Prism. If not try to do it.

You will see Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red that is VIBGYOR.  

The wavelength of these colors vary from 4000 angstroms to 7000 angstroms. 4000 is of Violet and 7000 is of Red. It means the Violet is the shortest wave or we can say that it has shortest wavelength and Red has longest wavelength.

Now come back to what is the role of air particles consisting mostly of nitrogen and oxygen, dust particles or water droplets in appearing the color of sky blue. The air molecules are smallest in size and these molecules will scatter the shortest color or wavelength of light easily that is violet, indigo and blue. But violet is not so bright color and percentage of violet is very low in sun light also and indigo and blue after scattering mixes and give the bluish color to sky after scattering .

This is also proved by Rayleigh Scattering which shows that scattering is inversely proportional to (wavelength)⁴.  It means lesser the wavelength; more will be the scattering. That is case with blue color.

During sun rise and sun set, the Sun is at horizon of earth that is much farther away from earth (please refer figure). Thus sun light travels the maximum distance during sun rise and sun time. Of course blue color scattered much more due to reason already discussed, but as sun is farther away thus blue also go away farther after scattering or more precisely Rayleigh Scattering during sun rise and sun set.

Therefore the color like orange and Red easily passed through the atmosphere as these are least scattered. In the above diagram sun is at top not at horizon but during sunrise and sunset, sun is at horizon and light has to travel maximum distance. Thus the blue light scattered but remains farther away but red light least scattered reaches our earth easily. This is the reason that during sun rise and  sun set the sky looks Red. The reason of sky is blue at day time and red during sunset and sunlight is explained by metoffice.gov.uk also.

This is the reason that sun and sky looks Red during sunset and sunrise time.
