QUESTION 2
A block, mass M, resting on a rough, horizontal table, is connected by a light,
inextensible string, passing over a light, frictionless pulley, to another block with
a mass of 260 g. The 260 g block hangs vertically as shown in the diagram below.

                     60 N
                                 10°           M

                                                                 260 g

A force of 60 N is applied to the stationary block on the table at an angle of 10°
to the horizontal. It causes this block to accelerate at 2,89 m·s-2 to the left. The
coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface of the table is 0,3.
Ignore the effects of air friction.

a CONSTANT SPEED. When the
pallet is at a height of 17,2 m above
the ground, ONE of the bricks falls off
and hits the ground after 2,7 seconds.

brick.                                                        17,2 m            pallet

4.1      Why does the falling brick go up before it goes down?                           (1)

4.2      Define the term free fall in words.                                             (2)

4.3      How long does it take the brick to reach its maximum height?                    (1)

4.4      Calculate the velocity with which the:

         4.4.1 Pile of bricks were LIFTED by the crane.                                  (4)

         4.4.2 Falling brick HITS the GROUND.                                            (4)

4.5      Sketch the velocity versus time graph for the motion of the brick from the
         moment it falls from the pallet until it hits the ground. Indicate ALL the time
         values and corresponding velocities.                                            (4)

When the brick lands on the ground, it is in contact with the ground for
0,3 seconds and then bounces vertically upwards with a speed of 4,59 m·s-1.

4.6      Calculate the distance between the pallet and the brick when the brick
         is at its maximum height after the first bounce. Assume that the speed at
         which the pallet moves upwards has remained constant.                     (6)

4.7      Calculate the impulse on the brick during the bounce. Take the mass of
         the brick as 1,9 kg.                                                            (4)

          Aldehydes have the lowest boiling point.
