4) a) A car of mass 1500kg takes 5s to increase its velocity from 10m/s to 25m/s. i) ii) iii) iv) Calculate the acceleration of the car Calculate the force causing the car to accelerate Calculate the weight of the car Given that the weight of the car is divided equally over all 4 tyres, calculate the reaction force at each tyre.

b) Underline the correct word or phrase. i) When a resultant force acts on a body, the body (accelerates, move with uniform velocity). ii) The magnitude or size of the acceleration of a moving body (increases, decreases) with force and (increases, decreases) with mass. (10 marks) 5) a) The figure below shows the forces acting on a raindrop which is falling to the ground. B i) A is the force which causes the raindrop to fall. What is this force called? ii) B is the total force opposing the motion of the drop. State one possible cause of this force. iii) What happens to the drop when force A = force B?
A

raindro

b) The diagram below shows the arrangement of the apparatus used to determine acceleration of free fall g.

Describe how the time interval is recorded. ii) In a particular experiment the distance h was 1m, and the time of fall was 0.45s. Calculate g, the acceleration due to gravity. iii) How can one improve the accuracy of the experiment? (15 marks)
