  1. b) Diagonal force of 76.4N at 56º

 

 

 

  1. (a) What are the formulas for speed and velocity?

 

(b) Explain why speed is a scalar quantity and why both acceleration and velocity are        vector quantities.

 

 

 

  1. Spiderman and Dr Strange have captured Thanos in a web spun by Spiderman and are now dragging him into custody. Both Spiderman and Dr Strange are pulling on the web at an angle of 55º and both with a force of 3456N. The web has a tensile strength of 10000 N.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Work out the resultant force exerted on Thanos by the two superheroes.

 

  1. (a) A plane taking off accelerates along a runway from 42 m per second to 82 m per second in 16 seconds. Calculate its acceleration.

 

(b) A train travels at a speed of 55m per second for 100 seconds. As, it approaches a station, it decelerates at a steady rate so that it comes to a halt after a further 65 seconds. Draw a velocity time graph for the train’s motion and use it to calculate:

  1. i) The trains speed as it slows down
  2. ii) The total distance travelled during the time described.

 

 

  1. Describe what energy is and give six examples.

 

 

 

 

  1. A motor is used to lift a 53kg load to a height of 11m. Take g = 9.8Nkg

 

  1. Calculate the work done in lifting the load

 

  1. The speed of the load during the lift is 0.35m/s; work out the power delivered by the motor.

 

 

 

  1. A bullet with a mass of 0.044 kg leaves a gun at 1750 m/s. If the gun’s mass is 1.85 kg, what is the velocity of the recoil on the gun?

 

 

 

 

  1. Give an examples of how both Charles Law and Boyle’s law can be applied in nature.
