9. A wooden plank rests in equilibrium on two rocks on opposite sides of a narrow

stream.

Three forces P, Q and R act on the plank.

10. 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?

11. A ball is at rest at the top of a hill. It rolls down the hill. At the bottom of the hill
the ball hits a wall and stops.

Which energy changes occur?

12. A student cycles along a level road at a speed of 5.0 m / s.

The total mass of the student and bicycle is 120 kg.

13. A submarine is 20 m below the surface of the sea. The pressure due to the water at this
depth is P.

On another day, the submarine is 26 m below the surface of fresh water. The density

of sea water is 1.3 times the density of fresh water.

What is the pressure due to the fresh water at a depth of 26 m?

14. A cylinder with a tap contains a fixed mass of gas X. The gas is contained by a
piston which can move freely towards or away from the tap.

15. A ball hits a bat with a velocity of 30 m / s, and leaves the bat travelling with a
velocity of 20 m / s in the opposite direction. The ball is in contact with the bat for
0.10 s.

What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the ball whilst it is in contact with the
bat?

What is the average speed of the train?

17. Which statement about mass is correct?

18. A small bottle has a mass of 20 g when empty. The volume of the bottle is 10 cm3.

When full of liquid, the total mass is 150 g. What is the density of the liquid?

19. An object of mass 0.80 kg is moving in a straight line at a velocity of 2.0 m / s. A

force is exerted on the object, in the direction of motion, for a period of 1.0 minute
and the velocity of the object increases to 6.0 m / s.

What force is exerted on the object?

20. A horizontal force pulls a box along a horizontal surface.

The box gains 30 J of kinetic energy and 10 J of thermal energy is produced
by the friction between the box and the surface.

How much work is done by the force?

21. A crane is used to lift loads vertically
