7 Ans: D. initial speed, u = 50ms-1. Final speed (max), v = 10ms-1.

Minimum time for passing

between 1 and 2, t = 20s (if time is less than this, it means that speed is too fast, so an emergency
brake is then applied). Deceleration, a is uniform, so we can use s = ut + at2. a = (v-u)/t = (1050)/20 = -2ms-2. So, s = ut + at2 = 50(20) + (-2)(20)2 = 600m.

9 Ans: D. in calculating the mass m of air that hits the wall in one second, the speed of the air
must be involved: m =12m2 x 33ms-1 x 1.2kgm-3 = 475.2kgs-1. The rate of change of momentum
(force) is therefore this expression multiplied by its velocity, 33ms-1, giving an answer of
16000N. Keeping units in a calculation like this will result in an answer with the units of
momentum. Missing out the 33m will give incorrect units for force.

12 Ans: A. Weight is always downward. Since the vehicle is at rest, only the weight will have a
component along the slope that will cause the vehicle to go downwards. So, friction, a force
which opposes motion would be in a direction opposite to the component of the weight along the
slope such that the vertical component of friction would be in a direction opposite to the weight
(upward). The normal reaction will be opposite to the other component of the weight.

13 Ans: B. A is incorrect. C not correct if mass of the body is changing whereas B is always
correct under any circumstances.

19 Ans: C. Temperature depends only on the average speed of molecules. Molecules in ice at
0oC and molecules in water at 0oC have the same average speed and therefore the same average
kinetic energy. A, B and D are incorrect since ice is solid and water is liquid.
20 Ans: D. the answer to this question cannot reliably be obtained by guesswork. Let pressure
at P be p. Considering the left part of the diagram, 16000 p = h1g. Call this equation 1.
Similarly, for the right part of the diagram, 8000 p = h2g. This is equation 2. Eliminating the
pressure at P (equation 1 equation 2) gives (h1-h2)g = 8000Pa, so (h1-h2) = 0.060m. D is the
only answer that fits.
