1. An experiment is done to determine the spring constant, k of two spring X and Y. Graph of force, F against extension, x is plotted and the results shows that the two springs obey Hookes law, F ! kx F/N Y X

x/cm Figure 1 (a) Write down the variables: (i) Manipulated variable [1 mark] (ii) Responding variable [1 mark] (iii) Fixed variable [1 mark] (b) How can the spring constant, k can be determined? [1 mark] (c) Deduce which one of springs is more extensible. [1 mark] 2. To reduce the impulsive force, seat belt is installed in car. A car moving at a speed of 20 ms (a)

is brought to a rest in 0.05 s.

If a driver of mass 75 kg does not wear a seat belt, find the impulsive force acting on him. [2 marks]

(b) If the driver wears a seat belt, he takes a time of 1 s to stop. Determine the impulsive force acting on him. [2 marks] (c) Compare the impulsive force in (a) and (b). [1 mark] 1

3. An object A of mass 4 kg moves with velocity 8 ms1 collides with an object B of mass 5 kg with velocity 5 ms 1 in the same direction. If the velocity of A after collision is 3 ms1 , find the velocity of B after collision. [3 marks]

Before the bullet strikes the wooden block, what is the momentum of the bullet?

(c)

After the bullet is embedded in the wooden target, what is the common velocity of the bullet and the wooden block?

(d)

What would be the acceleration of the bullet in it enters the wooden block in 0.3 s?

5. Newtons second law of motion states that the directly proportional to the applied force and acts in the direction of the force.

6. A box with a mass of 2 kg is pushed along surface with a force of 4.2 N . The frictional force between the box and the surface is 3 N. Find 2

2 kg 3N Figure 1 (a) the resultant force acting on the box.

4.2 N

(b) the acceleration of the box.

(c) Give one way to reduce the frictional force between the box and the surface. 7. A ball of mass 0.4 kg is moving along a smooth surface at a constant velocity of 6 m s 1 as shown in Figure 1. It hits a wall elastically and moves back at the same speed. u ! 6 m s 1

Smooth surface Figure 1 (a) What is the impulse?

(b) If the time of impact of the ball with the wall is 0.05 s, calculate the impulsive force acting on the ball.

8. Bumpers are installed at the front and rear parts of vehicles to lengthen the collision and to reduce the .

pieces of the screen chips will not scattered easily as to hurt the driver or passengers. 11. are fitted in vehicles to prevent them from fitting against the interior of the car during an accident. 12. The value of g is which equal to 9.81 m s 2 or approximately 10 m s 2 .

13. An object of mass 10 kg is released from a tall building of height 500 m. If the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m s 2 , what is the (a) weight of the object?

(b) gravitational field strength?
