  1. Q1

    1. A Doppler ball consists of a loudspeaker and a battery-powered circuit board inside a foam ball. Two students are throwing the ball to each other. Student A throws the ball with a velocity of 11.0 m s⁻¹ at an angle of 36.0° to the horizontal. The ball is released at a height of 1.60 m above the ground. The ball passes over the head of student B and lands on the ground at point Q. The effects o…

  2. Q2

    2. A car pulls a caravan up a slope at a constant speed of 4.0 m s⁻¹ . The slope is at an angle of 9.6° to the horizontal. The car and passengers have a total mass of 1650 kg. The caravan has a mass of 1350 kg. 9.6° (a) (i) Determine the component of the total weight of the car, passengers, and caravan acting down the slope. 3 Space for working and answer (ii) The total frictional force acting on…

  3. Q3

    3. A Newton’s Cradle is a popular desk ornament. The ball at the end is raised and then released, striking the closest of the four stationary balls. A force is transmitted through the stationary balls, which causes the ball at the opposite end to swing upwards. This ball then swings back and strikes the stationary balls from the opposite direction and the process repeats. A physics teacher states…
