a) The position of an object is shown with respect to time on the graph below (Figure 1).
ii. Determine the time at which the velocity of the object is a minimum (sec).
[2 Marks]
iii. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration experienced by the object (m/s2).
[2 Marks]
iv. Draw, as accurately and completely as possible, the velocity time and acceleration
time graphs. Be very careful, detailed, and clear in your drawings. Include all
relevant values and equations for the lines/curves on these graphs. [9 Marks]
v. Based on your results from parts i) through iv), what physical system/situation
would this graph be representative of? Answer with one clear sentence in your

The 70 kg crate slides across the ground with an initial velocity of 2 m/s as shown in
Figure 3. The crate is then subject to the time varying force F(t) which varies as shown on
the graph below in Figure 3. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the
ground is = 0.002, and treating the time varying force as if it were acting at the center
a) The velocity of the crate after 6 seconds using the principle of linear impulse and
momentum. Use the coordinate system shown in Figure 3 for your analysis.
[20 Marks]
b) The general equation of motion for the crate from 6 seconds to 9 seconds. DO NOT
include values. Just use the variables that correspond to those on your F.B.D. Use the
coordinate system shown in Figure 3 for your analysis. Make sure your F.B.D and

below in Figure 4. The block and rollers sit on a plane inclined = 100 to the horizontal.
Each roller has a mass of 4 kg and a radius of 0.25 m. If no slippage occurs between the
rollers and the inclined plane or the rollers and the block, determine the distance the
block has moved up the inclined plane at the moment the block and the rollers come to
rest. Use the principle of work and energy for your analysis. The block has an initial
velocity of 3 m/s as shown in Figure 4. Use the coordinate system shown in Figure 4 for
your analysis. Hint: The angular displacement of the rollers can be found by creating
