BERBUAT DEMIKIAN

Answer FOUR (4) questions only.

Use gravitational acceleration, g = 9.80 m/s2
1.

a)

Differentiate between average speed and average velocity.

[ 2 marks ]

b)

Ben took a plane from Penang to Singapore in the direction of 60 o South of

East at a distance of 700 km in 1 hour 30 minutes. He then continued his
journey for 1600 km to Kuching in the direction of 20 o North of East away in
1 hour 45 minutes and finally 1200 km to Kota Kinabalu in the direction 30 o
North of East in 1 hour 30 minutes. The transit times at each stop are 30
minutes.
i)
Calculate his average speed.
ii)
On the next day, he took a direct flight to Penang which took him 2
hours and 30 minutes. What is his average velocity on the return
journey?
[ assume all journeys as straight line motions ]

A horse jumps across a stream 3 m wide. The flight through the air takes 2 s.
Assuming that there is no air resistance, calculate
i)
horizontal components of the initial velocity
ii)
vertical components of the initial velocity
iii)
jumping angle of the horse
[ 6 marks ]

a)

An object experienced net force zero. Briefly comment this statement.

[ 2 marks ]

b)

A box of mass m=15 kg initially at rest slides down on inclined plane AB

4.

a)

State the work energy theorem due to conservative force

[ 2 marks ]

b)

A girl on a sled with a combined mass of 60.0 kg slides down a frictionless hill
from rest. When she gets to the bottom of the hill, she is travelling at 5.00 m/s.

5.

a)

Write down the conservation of linear momentum expression for collision

between two balls of mass m and M and velocity v1 and v2 respectively in
Figure 1 below. (Note that after the collision, both balls stick together with
velocity vc)

following motion?
i)
A planet orbiting the sun
ii)
A car goes around a flat curve
[ 2 marks ]

b)

A 0.50 kg ball tied at the end of a string is revolved at a uniform speed 10 m/s
in a circle of radius 0.70 m
i)
What is the angular speed of the ball?
ii)
How many revolutions are made in 1 minute?
iii)
Calculate the tension in the string if it is moving in a horizontal
circular path.
[ 6 marks ]

a)

What are the TWO necessary conditions for an object to be equilibrium?

[ 2 marks ]

b)A uniform beam, 2.20 m long with mass

kg is mounted by a hinge on a wall as
shown in Fig. 1. The beam is held in a horizontal position by a cable that makes an
30.0
angle
from horizontal. The beam support a sign of mass
kg
suspended from its end.

Figure 4

i) Determine the component of the force the hinge exerted on the beam.
ii) Determine the tension of the supporting cable.
