Question

In which following events is a pushing force involved?
A) Badminton
B) Javelin
C) Archery
D) Bowling

Answer 1

Hint: Pushing force means a force that displaces an object away from something or its initial position. For example, when we want to move furniture from its initial position to another we generally give a force from its backside which we call push. Therefore push is defined as to press or urge a person or thing to move or go away.

Complete step by step answer:
Pushing force means a force that displaces an object away from something or its initial position. For example, when we want to move furniture from its initial position to another we generally give a force from its backside which we call push. Therefore push is defined as to press or urge a person or thing to move or go away.
In the question, we are given some events among which we have to find where the pushing force is involved. So now consider the given options,
A) Badminton- In the event, a badminton shot is given by pushing the shuttlecock through the racket with wrist motion. Racket face and suttle make a contact during making a shot. So, the Pushing force is involved in Badminton Games.
B) Javelin - Javelin is a throwing game and there are three main grips used in Javelin throwing.so, here pushing force is involved.
C) Archery- In archery first, we have to pull the string and arrow together then when we leave them the string pushes the arrow. So here the pushing force is involved.
D) Bowling- In bowling, we have to push the ball. So here the pushing force is involved.

Notes: Any kind of force is a form of push or pull. Pull means something brings closure and push means to move away. It is easier to pull than push the object. If we push one object the force adds work and there is more friction. But when we pull the vertical component of force is against the bodyweight therefore there is less friction.
