How Forces Affect Motion Class 9 Questions and Answers (Exercise) Revise, Reflect, Refine (NCERT Textbook Page No. 112) Question 1. Using a horizontal force F, a table is moved across the floor at a constant velocity. How much is the frictional force exerted by the floor on the table? Answer: Since the table moves with constant velocity, its acceleration is zero, so the net force must be zero. Therefore, the frictional force exerted by the floor is equal in magnitude and opposite to the applied force F. Question 2. For a ball moving on a smooth, frictionless surface, choose the appropriate option that will make the following statements physically correct. (i) If no net force is applied on the ball, the velocity of the ball will remain the same/increase/decrease. (ii) If a net force is applied on the ball in the direction of its motion, the magnitude of the velocity of the ball will remain the same increase/decrease. (iii) If a net force is applied on the...
