Question 2.
2.1
a. The ratio of the frictional force that resists the motion of the object and the normal force that maintains contact



between an object and a surface.

b. An elastic collision is a collision in which the total kinetic energy of the colliding bodies after collision is equal to
their total kinetic energy before collision.


c. It states that when a net external force acts on a body, its impulse is equal to the change in momentum of the
body.



d. It states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its
state by the action of a net external force.



e. Any two objects exert a force on each other, which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and indirectly
proportional to the square of the distance between them.

2.2
a. normal = weight
= mg = 10 x 9.8 = 98 N

b. normal = mg + ma
= 98 + 10 x 2.5 = 123 N

c. normal = mg ma
= 98 25 = 73 N

b.

T - W Sin 30o = ma
T 5 x 9.8 x Sin 30o = 5 x a
T 24.5 = 5 a

W T = ma
5 x 9.8 T = 5 x a
49 T = 5 a

c.

add the two equations, 49 24.5 = 10 a

therefore, a = 2.45 ms-2
and T = 36.75 N

d.

use, s = u t + a t2
where u=0, s = 0.4m , a = 2.45 ms-2 gives t = 0.57 sec

Question 3
3.1
a. Fx = 50 sin 50o + 70 sin 80o + 30 sin 30o + 80 sin 40o
= 38.30 + 68.94 + 15.00 + 51.42
= 173.66 N

b. Fy = 50 Cos 50o - 70 Cos 80o 30 Cos 30o + 80 Cos 40o

0 + 30 = VA Cos 45 + VB Cos 30 = 0.7071 VA + 0.866 VB
b.
VA = 0.7071 VB

30 = 0.7071 x (0.7071 VB ) + 0.866 VB

VB = 21.96 ms
and
VA = 15.53 ms-1

3.3.
a. v = u + at
gives v = 0 + 6 x 4 = 24 ms-1

b. when they meet they will have travelled the same distance
, d along the main speedway in the
same time , t, therefore, equating the distances, d1 = 70 x t
d2 = 24 t + x 6 x t2
giving t = 15.33s

c. distance = 70 x t
= 70 x 15.33 = 1073.33 m

ECF

3.4.
a. k.e lost = m v2
= 0.5 x 2150 x (18.062 9.722 ) = 302 080 J

b. a = (v-u)/t = (9.72 18.06)/21
= - 0.3973 ms-2

ECF

c. s = (v2 u2)/(2a) = (9.722 18.062)/(2 x -0.3973) = 291.57 m

d. ke lost = workdone by retarding force

302080 = F x d = F x 291.57 giving F = 1036 N

e. power = F x v = k.e./t
= 302080/21 = 9670W

Question 4.
4.1
a. gpe = m g h = 4 x 9.8 x 1 = 39.2 J


b. gpe lost = k.e gained

39.2 = m v2 giving
v = 4.43 ms-1

ECF

c. a = (v2 u2)/2s = (02 4.432 )/(2x 2) =

d. t = (v u)/a = (0 4.43)/(-4.9) = 0.9 sec


e. ke lost = work done by force

39.2 = F x d giving F = 19.6 N

f. retarding force = friction = N = mg
19.6 = 4 x 9.8
