(a)

The mass of the studend is 50 kg.

What is the weight of the student in Newton?
.N

(b)

(c)

..

F is the resultant force that acts on the student.

R is the normal reaction of the weighing scale on the student.
m is the mass of student.
g is the gravitational acceleration.
Write a general equation to show the relationship between F, R, m and g.
..

(d)

When the lift moves up with acceleration, the normal reaction is greater than his
weight.
Explain why

Explain the changes in energy that occur from the moment the plasticine ball is
released until it reaches the position in figure 15.

(c )

An earth monitoring satellite falls into the earths atmosphere at high velocity and
reaches a high temperature. This is caused by the earths gravitational force and air
resistance.
Using the appropriate physics concept, suggest and explain suitable designs or ways to
protect the satellite and the equipment.
(i) from extreme heat.
(ii) from breaking up on landing.
