QUESTION 1

a) State FOUR (4) effects of force on an object.

i. A force can change the shape of an object (1m)

ii. A force can move a stationary object (1m)
iii. A force can stop a moving object (1m)
iv. A force can change the direction of motion of an object. (1m)

b) Describe THREE (3) differences between mass and weight.

Mass,m Weight, W
The mass of an object is the amount of matter The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the
in the object. (1m) object.(1m)
The mass of an object is constant everywhere The weight of an object varies with the magnitude of
(1m) gravitational field strength, g of the location. (1m)
A scalar quantity (1m) A vector quantity (1m)
A base quantity A derived quantity
kilogram (kg) newton (N)

b) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant force

QUESTION 2

a) i. Work - when the point of application of a force moves and is measured by the product of
the force and the distance moved in the direction of the force. (1m)
Unit SI = Nm @ Joule (1m)

ii. Power - the rate at which work is done, or the rate at which energy is consumed (1m)
Unit SI = Joule/s @ watt (1m)

b) Principle of Conservation of Energy – energy can neither be destroyed nor created, but it can
change from one to another. (3m)

c) Calculate the work done, W = F cos ϴ x s

= 75 cos 35o x (1000 x 10-2) (2m)
= 614.36 J (1m)

d) i. Work done = Energy needed

1500 = mgh (1m)
= (3500 / 1000 ) x 9.81 h (2m)
h = 1500 / ((3.5 x 9.81 ) = 43.69 m (1m)

ii. 14.5 km/hr x 1000 m/1 km x 1 hr/3600s = 4.03 m/s (3m)

Ek = ½ mv2
Ek = ½ x 8500 x 4.032 (1m)
Ek = 69023.83 J (1m)

e) 15 x 66.5 = 997.5 kg (1m)

Output power = W/t = mgh/t
= 997.5 x 9.81 x 6 / 2 x 60 (2m)
= 489.27 W (1m)

Efficiency = use output ofpower

input of power

92/100 = 489.27 / Power input (1m)

Power input = 489.27 x100 /92 = 531.82 W (1m)
