Question 3
During a school sports day runners compete on a running track. |
a) | In the race results, the student wants to publish finishing place as well as average speed. Describe a method the student could follow to calculate the average speed of each runner.
|
b) | The graph below shows the how the speed of a 100 m sprinter varies during a race. Calculate the acceleration of the athlete at the start of the race.
|
c) | Calculate the distance travelled by the athlete during the period of acceleration at the start of the race.

Question 4
This question is about the acceleration and forces experienced by a passenger of a roller coaster. |
a) | Many roller coasters have a launch mechanism to accelerate passengers rapidly for maximum thrills. This roller coaster reaches a top speed of 26 m/s in 22.5 m. Calculate the acceleration of the roller coaster at the start of the ride.
|
b) | The mass of a passenger is 70kg. Calculate the force exerted on the passenger during the initial acceleration of the roller coaster.
|
c) | The graph below shows the speed of the roller coaster during the first 40 s of the ride. State the resultant force acting on the roller coaster cart at 25 s. Give a reason for your answer.
|
d) | Calculate the distance travelled by the roller coaster between 10 s and 20 s.
|
|
Question 5
A student is skimming stones across a lake. The graph below shows the velocity of the stone in the vertical direction from the moment hits the water. The velocity of the stone is positive in the downwards direction. |
a) | Describe the motion of the stone from A to B.
|
b) | Calculate the maximum height reached by the stone above the water surface.
|
c) | Describe the height of the second bounce is different to the first bounce.
|
d) | Calculate the acceleration of the stone between 1.2 and 1.8 s.
|
|
Question 6
A student is investigating how the motion of a trolley changes as the steepness of the ramp is varied. The diagram below shows the set up of the equipment. |
a) | State the independent variable in the student's investigation.
|
b) | List two control variables for the student's investigation.
|
c) | The student plotted a graph of starting height against final speed. Describe the relationship between starting height and final speed.
|
d) | The length of the ramp was 2 m. Calculate the acceleration of the trolley when the starting height of the ramp was 20 cm.
