PAPER 1: PHYSICS
QUESTION 1: Multiple choice questions
Four options are provided as possible answers to the following questions. Each question has
only ONE correct answer. Choose the correct answer and write the letter (A — D) next to the
question number (1.1 — 1.4)
1.1
1.2
The frictional force acting on a sliding object is ...
A dependent of the apparent area of contact.
B__ proportional to the normal force.
C dependent of the velocity of object.
D__ independent of the type of surface. (2)
When a spaceship moves at constant velocity, it means that the resultant
force acting on the body is zero. This phenomenon is best ined by
Newton’s First Law.
Newton’s Second Law.
Newton's Third Law.
