Section A: Mechanics (Questions 1–20)
1. C — 24 000 kg m s⁻¹
Working: p = mv = 1200 × 20 = 24 000 kg m s⁻¹ [B1]
2. B — The total momentum of an isolated system remains constant.
Marking note: Must include "isolated system" or "no external forces" for full credit. [B1]
3. D — 96 J
Working: v = u + gt = 0 + 9.8 × 2.0 = 19.6 m s⁻¹; KE = ½mv² = ½ × 0.50 × (19.6)² ≈ 96 J [B1]
4. C — 400 N
Working: Total downward force = 200 + 600 = 800 N. By symmetry, each support = 800 ÷ 2 = 400 N. [B1]
5. B — 2.0 m s⁻¹
Working: Conservation of momentum: (2.0 × 3.0) + (1.0 × 0) = (2.0 + 1.0)v; 6.0 = 3.0v; v = 2.0 m s⁻¹ [B1]
6. B — Acceleration
Marking note: Constant resultant force → constant acceleration (F = ma). Velocity, momentum, and KE change. [B1]
7. B — 45 m
Working: Time to fall: t = √(2h/g) = √(2 × 45 / 10) = 3.0 s; Horizontal distance = 15 × 3.0 = 45 m [B1]
8. B — 40 m
Working: a = F/m = 50/10 = 5.0 m s⁻²; s = ut + ½at² = 0 + ½ × 5.0 × 16 = 40 m [B1]
9. C — Displacement
Marking note: Displacement has both magnitude and direction. Speed, KE, and power are scalars. [B1]
10. B — 150 m
Working: a = (v − u)/t = 30/10 = 3.0 m s⁻²; s = ½(u + v)t = ½ × 30 × 10 = 150 m [B1]
11. A — √2 v
Working: KE ∝ v²; if KE doubles, v² doubles, so v → √2 v [B1]
12. C — 10 m s⁻¹
Working: mgh = ½mv²; v = √(2gh) = √(2 × 10 × 5.0) = √100 = 10 m s⁻¹ [B1]
13. B — 4.0 m s⁻²
Working: Net force = weight of hanging mass = 2.0 × 10 = 20 N; Total mass = 5.0 kg; a = 20/5.0 = 4.0 m s⁻² [B1]
14. B — 20 m
Working: v² = u² + 2as; 0 = 20² + 2(−10)s; s = 400/20 = 20 m [B1]
15. C — 500 J
Working: W = Fd = 100 × 5.0 = 500 J [B1]
16. C — 300 W
Working: Work done = 200 × 3.0 = 600 J; P = W/t = 600/2.0 = 300 W [B1]
17. C — 10 N
Working: a = (v − u)/t = (0 − 5.0)/2.0 = −2.5 m s⁻²; F = ma = 4.0 × 2.5 = 10 N (magnitude) [B1]
18. B — A curve starting from the origin that approaches a horizontal asymptote
Marking note: Speed increases at decreasing rate due to increasing air resistance, approaching terminal velocity. [B1]
19. A — 1.0 J
Working: EPE = ½kx² = ½ × 200 × (0.10)² = 1.0 J [B1]
20. C — 4.0 N
Working: F = mv²/r = 0.50 × (4.0)² / 2.0 = 0.50 × 16 / 2.0 = 4.0 N [B1]
