Section B (14 marks) Answer all the questions Write your answers in the spaces provided on the question paper. 1. A man pushes a packing case which has a total mass of 40 kg across a floor at a constant speed of 5 ms –1 by exerting a horizontal force of 150 N. (a) What was the resultant force on the case? [1] ……………………………………………………………………………… (b) What was the frictional force acting on the case? [1] ……………………………………………………………………………… (c) If the force exerted by the man is increased to 350 N, what will the acceleration be? [2] 2. A cube with sides 2 cm long is made from a material of density 9.0 g cm -3 as shown below. (a) What is the mass of the cube? Mass = _________ [1] (b) If this cube is placed in a beaker of material of density 9.0 g cm -3 , would the cube sink? Explain why. [2] 3. In a simulation at a research unit, a moving car X was made to collide with a stationary car Y. On impact, the two cars stuck together and then skidded to rest. Fig. B3.1 below shows the velocity-time graph of car X throughout the experiment. Fig. B3.1 (a) Which section of the graph corresponds to the collision between the two cars? [1] ________________________________________________________ (b) Which section of the graph corresponds to the cars skidding to rest? [1] ________________________________________________________ (c) What is the speed of the two cars at time = 7 seconds? [1] ________________________________________________________ (d) What is the distance travelled by car X in the first 4 seconds? [2] ________________________________________________________ (e) What is the deceleration at BC and CD for car X? [2] Section C (16 marks) Answer any two
