An object on the end of a string moves in a clockwise circular path at a constant speed. The diagram shows the object as viewed from above.
What is the direction of the resultant force on the object when it is in the position shown?
A beam is pivoted at one end, as shown.
The beam weighs 6.0 N and its weight acts at a point X 40 cm from the pivot.
A force of 4.0 N is applied to the beam causing it to balance horizontally.
In which direction and where is the 4.0 N force applied?
On the diagram shown, what is the magnitude of the resultant force of the two vectors?
Three situations are listed.
1 An object has a resultant force acting on it.
2 A moving object experiences an impulse.
3 An object is decelerating.
In which situations is the momentum of the object changing?
A ball of mass 0.16 kg is moving forwards at a speed of 0.50 m / s. A second ball of mass 0.10 kg is stationary. The first ball strikes the second ball. The second ball moves forwards at a speed of 0.50 m / s.
What is the speed of the first ball after the collision?
A mass hangs vertically from a spring.
The mass is raised to a point P and is then released.
The mass oscillates repeatedly between point P and a lower point Q.
Which energies alternately increase and decrease throughout the oscillations?
A car has 620 kJ of kinetic energy. The car brakes and stops in a distance of 91 m.
What is the average braking force acting on the car?
The diagram shows a deep reservoir formed by a dam.
On what does the pressure at X depend?

per minute.
The speed of sound is 320 m / s.
What is the wavelength of the sound wave?
A card is placed in front of a plane mirror so that its label is facing the mirror, as shown.
The label is shown.
How does the image of the label formed by the mirror appear to the observer?
A thin converging lens can produce both real and virtual images.
Which row describes a real and a virtual image?
