QUESTION 2 (Start on a new page.)
A boy is pulling a girl on a sled, with a
total mass of 70 kg across the snow at a
constant velocity of 2,5 m·s-1. The rope
makes an angle of 60° with the
horizontal. The tension in the rope is
120 N. Friction cannot be ignored. 60˚
70 kg
2.1 Define the term resultant force. (2)
2.2 Draw a labelled free body diagram of all the forces acting on the sled with the
girl. (4)
2.3 Calculate the:
2.3.1 Horizontal component of the tension in the rope (2)
2.3.2 Vertical component of the tension in the rope (1)
2.4 While the sled is pulled with a constant velocity of 2,5 m·s-1 to the left, the boy let
go of the rope. Calculate the acceleration which the sled experiences while it is
stopped by the kinetic friction if 𝜇𝑘 = 0,23. (6)

QUESTION 3 (Start on a new page.)
Learners in the grade 11 class do an experiment to investigate the laws of friction.
They measure the maximum static frictional force (fsmax) and the kinetic frictional force
(fK) for varying values of the normal force. They tabulate their results as follows.
Readings N fsmax fK
(in Newtons) (in Newtons) (in Newtons)
1 1,5 0,9 0,63
2 2 1,2 0,84
3 4 2.4 1,68
3.1 Use the information from the table above and draw both graphs on the same set
of axis on the GRAPH PAPER provided. (Addendum A) Label both the graphs. (5)
3.2 State the relationship between the kinetic frictional force (fK) and the normal
(N) force as shown on the plotted graphs. Explain the answer. (2)
3.3 Calculate the coefficient of static friction(s) using values for fsmax from the graph. (3)
3.4 The gradient of the kinetic frictional graph is less steep than the graph for
maximum static friction. Explain the statement by referring to the relationship
between fsmax and fK. (2)
