What is its kinetic energy when it is half way up? Assume g=10m/s2.

2. What is
the size of force F needed just to lift the loaded wheelbarrow? [2]

3. A person exerts a horizontal force of 500N on a box, which also experiences a friction force of
100N.

How much work is done against friction when the box moves a horizontal distance of
3m? [2]

What distance did the trolley travel when


4.there was no resultant force acting on it? [2]

5. A crane lifts a 600kg mass through a vertical height of 12m in 18 seconds. What is the crane’s
power output? [2]
6. A girl whose mass is 45kg carries a box of mass 25kg up a flight of steps.
There are 40 steps each 40cm high. She takes 16s to climb up the steps. (take g =
10m/s2)

(b) What is the weight of the box? [1]


(c) Calculate the total potential energy of the girl and the box when she reaches the top.[2]

(d) Calculate the total power. [2]

7. 8kg object accelerates at 2m/s2. What is the acting force on it? [1]
8. A force of 20N acts on a mass of 5kg. What is the acceleration? [1]
9. If an object accelerates at 6m/s2 by a force of 24N, what is the mass? [1]
10. A pupil pushes a wheelbarrow carrying 30kg sand. It accelerates from rest to 2m/s in the distance
of 1m.
(b) What is the acceleration?
(c) What is the acting force on the wheelbarrow?
11. A load of 1N extends a spring by 5cm. What load would extend it by 1cm?
12. Calculate the extension of a spring that would be produced by a 20N load if a 15N load extends
the spring by 3cm
