SAMPLE PAPER (PHYSICS)

Duration: - 25 min

1) Two people sit on a park bench 6.0 ft long, weighing 160 lb. A boy weighing
75lb sits directly over the legs on the left side. A man weighing 170 lb sits 2.0 ft
to the right of the boy. How much weight is supported by each leg on the right
side?

2) A 215 g particle is released from rest at point A inside a smooth hemispheric

bowl of radius 30 cm. calculate the following: a. the gravitational potential
energy at A relative to B b.) The particle's kinetic energy at B c.) The particle's
speed at B d.)The kinetic energy and potential energy at C.

3) A 1.38 kg block at rest on a tabletop is attached to a horizontal spring having

constant 18.1 N/m. The spring is initially unstretched.Find the speed of the block
after it has moved 0.281 m from equilibrium if the surface between block and
tabletop is frictionless. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. Answer in units of
m/s.
4) The planet Mars has a mass of 6.1 1023 kg and radius of 3.1 106 m. What is
the acceleration of an object in free fall near the surface of Mars? The value of
the gravitational constant is 6.67259 1011 N m2/kg2. Answer in units of
m/s2.

5)

Please explain the reason for your answer.
