PHYSICS

INTERNATIONAL GCSE

UNIT 1:FORCES AND MOTION

1. A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 2 m/𝑠 2 for 10 seconds.
(a) Calculate the final velocity of the car after 10 seconds.
(b) Determine the distance the car travels during this time.

2. A cyclist moving at a velocity of 12 m/s12 \, \text{m/s}12m/s applies the brakes and decelerates
uniformly to rest over a distance of 36 m.

(a) Calculate the acceleration of the cyclist during this time.

(b) How long does it take for the cyclist to come to rest?

3. Answer questions based on the v-t curve.


i. What is the acceleration during the first 5 seconds if the object reaches a velocity of 20 m/s?

ii. How far does the object travel during the constant velocity phase (between 5 and 15
seconds)?

iii. If the object decelerates uniformly to rest over the last 5 seconds, what is the deceleration
during this phase?

4. Captain Velocity, a superhero, sees a 500 kg car stuck in the middle of the road. To save the day, she
applies a force to move it. With her super strength, she pushes the car, causing it to accelerate at
2 m/𝑠 2

What force does Captain Velocity apply to the car to give it this acceleration?

5. A group of astronauts is stranded on the moon, and their rescue rocket is about to take off. The
rocket's mass is 2000 kg. As it launches, it accelerates upward at 5 m/𝑠 2

What is the force exerted by the rocket engines to lift the rocket off the moon?

6. Captain Velocity is trying to move a 500 kg car stuck on a road. However, there's friction between
the car's tires and the road. The frictional force resisting the motion is 600 N. Despite this, Captain
Velocity applies a force of 1600 N to the car. What is the car's acceleration?
