भारत रत्न डॉ. ए.पी.जे. अब्दुल कलाम का जन्म 15 अक्टूबर 1931 को तमिलनाडु के रामेश्वरम में हुआ था। वे साधारण परिवार से थे, लेकिन अपनी मेहनत, लगन और सपनों की ताक़त से उन्होंने पूरी दुनिया में भारत का नाम रोशन किया। उनका जीवन हमें यह सिखाता है कि कठिन परिस्थितियाँ भी सफलता की राह में बाधा नहीं बन सकतीं।
Every year, the second Thursday of October is recognised as World Sight Day. It is a special occasion to remind us all of the value of our eyes and the importance of taking care of them. This year, our teachers informed us that millions of people worldwide suffer from poor vision or even blindness, but many of these issues can actually be prevented or treated if we take action in time.
Every year on 8th October, India celebrates Indian Air Force Day to honour the brave men and women who guard our skies. This year marks the 93rd anniversary of the Indian Air Force (IAF), a reminder of its illustrious journey since its formation in 1932.

Q1. Which force is responsible for the downward movement of parachutes? Will the person come down with the same speed without the parachute?
Answer: The downward movement of a parachute is caused by gravity (the force that pulls everything toward Earth). However, the parachute slows the fall because of air resistance (a force that pushes upward against the falling object).
A person would fall much faster without a parachute because there’s less air resistance to balance gravity’s pull. The parachute increases air resistance, making the fall slower and safer.
