QUESTION 1: MULTIPLE- CHOICE QUESTIONS
Four options are provided as possible answers to the following questions.
Each question has only ONE correct answer. Write only the letter (A - D) next to the
question number (1.1 — 1.3) in the ANSWER BOOK, for example 1.4 D.
1.1. Avvelocity versus time graph below shows the vertical motion of an object.
v (m.s*)
x t (s)
Which of the following correctly describes the displacement (Ay) and acceleration
of the object at point x indicated on the graph?
Displacement (m) | Acceleration (m.s~)
A | Zero -9.8
B | Ay Zero
C | -Ay 9.8
D | Ay 9.8
(2)
1.2. Aball of mass m is thrown towards a wall with speed v and it rebounds with
the same speed v. The force that ball exerts on the wall is of magnitude F.
If the collision lasts for “t” seconds, what is the magnitude of the force that
the wall exerts on the ball?
AF B mvt c “ D =m (2)
1.3. The weight of a man on the surface of the earth is w. If the man is ina
spaceship whose distance from the surface of the earth is equal to the
diameter of the earth, then the gravitational force of the earth on the man
will be ...
w w w
A 3 B B c ow D 2 (2)
1.4 Aspacecraft, consisting of two parts A and B, with mass m and 2m respectively,
is moving with a velocity v in an easterly direction. After an explosion, part A
breaks away from part B with a velocity of 3v in a westerly direction. The velocity
of part B after explosion will be:
A Vv B 2v Cc 3v D 6v (2)

QUESTION 2 (Start on a new page) _
A constant pulling force F is applied on a heavy block of mass 50 kg.as shown in the
diagram below. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the rough floor
surface is 0,34. The magnitude of the static frictional force is 120 N.
50 kg
2.14. Draw a labelled free-body diagram showing all forces acting on the block. (4)
2.2 State, in words, Newton’s Second Law of Motion. (2)
2.3 Calculate the magnitude of the vertical component of the applied force. (5):
2.4. The applied force is now increased. Under the action of this new constant force,
the block begins to move horizontally along the table.
24. How will the magnitude of the normal force change as the block moves
across the table surface? State only INCREASES, DECREASES or
REMAINS THE SAME. (1)
2.4.2 Explain your answer to QUESTION 2.4.1. (2)

QUESTION 3 (Start on a new page)
A boy standing on the top of a 70 m high building throws a ball vertically upwards at
20 m.s*!. The ball strikes the balcony below after 5 s. The ball then bounces off the
balcony and lands on the ground as illustrated in the diagram.

3.1. Define the term free fall. (2)
3.2 Determine the time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height. (3)
3.3. Calculate the velocity of the ball as it strikes the balcony. (3)
3.4. Calculate the height, h, of the balcony above the ground. (4)
3.5. Sketch the velocity versus time graph for the ball from the moment it was thrown
from the top of the building until it hit the balcony.
Indicate the following on the graph:
e Initial velocity of the ball
¢ Time to reach the maximum height
¢ Velocity of the ball on hitting the balcony (4)

QUESTION 4 (Start on a new page)
A car is travelling eastwards along a straight road. The driver sees an obstacle across the
road, and then applies the brakes. Once applied, the brakes allow the car to slow down.
Unfortunately, this is not sufficient, and the car crashes into the obstacle. The car hits
the obstacle with a speed of 4,674 m.s"' and it takes 0,2 s for the car to come to a stop.
The mass of the car and its driver is 1100 kg.
> —_
4,674 m.s*
“0 89°
4.1 Define the term impulse. (2)
4.2 Calculate the change in momentum that the car experiences. (4)
4.3. Calculate the resultant force on the car during the collision. (3)
Luckily the driver is not injured in the collision. He is wearing a seatbelt, and as
the car crashes into the obstacle, its airbags are deployed.
4.4 Using laws of Physics, explain how airbags. can help to reduce the chance of
injury in collisions such as this one. (3)
