O Y A large marker buoy is anchored at the bottom of a freshwater lake, density O kgm-3.

Surface of lake

Buoy

a Y hree vertical forces act on the buoy: Weight, ension from the rope and Upthrust.
Show on a diagram the three vertical forces .
b Y f the top of the buoy is at a depth of 6 metres find the pressure acting on top of the buoy
due to the water.
c Y f a longer rope is used to anchor the buoy explain what will happen to the pressure acting
on its top surface.

2 Y A large cylindrical can is placed in a water bath as shown. he can`s pressure is monitored by a
pressure and temperature sensor.

a Y At the start of the experiment the temperature of the air in the can is 25C at pressure
O.O x O5Pa. When the temperature inside the can rises to OC calculate the new pressure
inside the can.
b Y xplain, using the kinetic model of gases, how the air pressure inside the can increases with
increasing temperature.
c Y A student remarks that the density of the air in the can remains constant.
xplain why the student is correct.
3 Y A parcel is sat at the top of a ramp. he parcel has mass 6 kg and is placed at a height of 8 m
above the floor.

6kg

8m

a Y Calculate the parcel`s gravitational potential energy at the top of the block.
b Y Use conservation of energy to find the speed of the parcel at the bottom, assuming no
frictional forces are acting on the box.

4 Y A steel ball hits the ground with a speed of 9 ms-O. t comes to a rest on impact.
a Y Calculate the size of the change of momentum of the ball.
b Y Write down the size of the impulse of the ball.
c Y f the bounce occurred in .5 seconds calculate the average force experienced by the ball.

5 Y A car has a forward force of 5, Newtons and a backward force of O, Newtons acting on it.
a Y raw a diagram of these two forces acting on the car.
b Y Calculate the resultant force acting on the car.
c Y f the car has mass 2,kg then find its acceleration.

6 Y A cycle passes a point on the road with a speed of 4ms-O. t then accelerates at 2ms-2 for Om.
Calculate the speed of the cycle at the end of the O metres.

7 Y An ant walks 3 cm due east and then 4 cm due south in a time of 5 seconds.
a Y ind by scale drawing the resultant displacement of the ant from where it started.
b Y Calculates the ant`s average velocity.
