A push or pull that can change the movement of an object is called force. It is required to change the direction of an object, to move an object and to speed up a moving object.

Force is the push or pull on any object to move it from one place to another. For example, if we have to move a rock on a playground, we apply force by pushing it. Force can make things move. When a force moves something, work is done.

A push or a pull acting on an object is called force. A man pushing a cart, a child pulling a toy wagon, and a girl opening a door are other examples in which a force applied on an object. Force can move any object, change the direction or speed of a moving object, and it can change the shape and size of the object.

We can make things move by pushing or pulling them. A push or pull is called force. We cannot see the force, but we can see its effects.

1-c The push or pull on any object is the force that will change the direction of an object from right to left, or vice versa. 2-e Wool is an animal fibre. We get wool from sheep. We use woollen clothes during winter seasons. It keeps us warm. 3-d Polluted water causes disease. Contaminated water contains microorganisms which can cause severe illness. 4-b We obtain plastic from petroleum. The plastics last for a long time in the soil and pollute it. 5-a Petroleum comes from deep inside the Earth. It gives us petrol and diesel to run vehicles. Column 1 Column 2 1.
