ii. A car is travelling along a straight horizontal road. The speed-time graph is shown.
In which labelled part of the journey is the resultant force on the car zero?
shown?
xiv. The diagram shows an object moving at a constant speed in a circular path in the direction shown.
A force acts on the object to keep it in the circular path.
In which labelled direction does this force act, when the object is in the position
shown?
xv. A car travels along a horizontal road at a constant speed. Three horizontal forces act on the car. The
diagram shows two of these three forces.
What is the size and the direction of the third horizontal force acting on the car?
A. 1200 N backwards C. 1800 N backwards
B. 1200 N forwards D. 1800 N forwards
xvi. A skydiver jumps from a stationary helicopter and reaches a steady vertical speed. She then opens her
parachute. Which statement about the falling skydiver is correct?
A. As her parachute opens, her acceleration is upwards.
B. As she falls at a steady speed with her parachute open, her weight is zero.
C. When she accelerates, the resultant force on her is zero.
D. When she falls at a steady speed, air resistance is zero.
xvii. A box is being lifted by a fork-lift truck.
xxiii. A boy throws a stone. The stone leaves the boy’s hand and moves vertically upwards. Air resistance can
be ignored.
How should the force on the stone be described just after the stone leaves the boy’s
hand? A. downwards and constant C. upwards and constant
B. downwards and increasing D. upwards and decreasing
xxiv. A car travels along a straight road.
The speed-time graph for this journey is shown.
During which labelled part of the journey is the resultant force on the car zero?
xxv. The engine of a car produces a driving force of 5000 N on the car. Resistive forces R also act on the car,
as shown.
The extension of the spring is directly proportional to the weight hung from it.
What is the weight of W?
A. 30 N B. 35 N C. 40 N D. 45 N
xxix. The diagram shows the only three forces acting on an object.
When an object is hung from the spring, the length of the spring is 19.2 cm.
What is the weight of the object?
A. 1.4 N B. 1.6 N C. 2.6 N D. 3.0 N
xxxii. An object is released from rest and falls to Earth. During its fall, the object is affected by air resistance. The
air resistance eventually reaches a constant value.
Which description about successive stages of the motion of the object is correct?
A. constant acceleration, then constant deceleration
B. constant deceleration, then zero acceleration
C. decreasing acceleration, then constant deceleration
D. decreasing acceleration, then zero acceleration
xxxiii. A spring obeys Hooke’s law.
Which graph is obtained by plotting the extension of the spring against the load
applied?
xxxiv. The diagrams show four identical objects. Each object is acted on by only the three forces shown.
Which object accelerates to the right, with the smallest acceleration?
