Section B - Essay
Answer Two questions only A hot air balloon is moving upwards at a constant speed. A camera is accidentally dropped from the balloon at a h height of 92 m as shown below. The camera strikes the ground after 6 s. Ignore the air resistance.

From the instant the camera is dropped, explain the motion of the camera.

Calculate the speed Vi at which the balloon is rising when the camera is dropped

Draw a sketch graph of velocity versus time for the entire motion of the camera. Indicate the initial velocity and the time at which it reaches the ground.

If a jogger , 10 m away from the point P, as shown in the diagram above and running at a constant speed 2 ms-1 sees the camera at the same instant it starts falling from the balloon, will he be able to catch the camera before it strikes the ground. Show your working.

A ball bounces vertically on a hard surface after being thrown vertically up into the air by a boy standing on the ledge of a

building. Just before the ball hits the ground for the first time, it has a velocity of magnitude 15 ms1. Immediately, after bouncing, it has a velocity of magnitude 10 ms1. The graph below shows the velocity of

A ball bounces vertically on a hard surface after being thrown vertically up into the air by a boy standing on the ledge of a building. Just before the ball hits the ground for the first time, it has a velocity of 15 ms1. Immediately, after bouncing, it has a velocity of magnitude 10 ms1. The graph below shows the velocity of the ball as a function of time from the moment it is thrown upwards into the air until it reaches its maximum height after bouncing once.

(i)

At what velocity does the boy throw the ball into the air? What can be determined by calculating the gradient of the graph during the first two seconds? Determine the gradient of the graph over the first two seconds. State its units. How far below the boys hand does the ball hit the ground? Use an equation of motion to calculate how long it takes, from the time the ball was thrown, for the ball to reach its maximum height after bouncing. What is the position of the ball, measured from the boys hand, when it reaches its maximum height after bouncing?

A Holden Commodore travelling at a constant velocity of 30 ms -1 (108 kmh-1) along a straight stretch of road, in a 80 kmh-1 speed limit zone, passes a stationary police car. It takes the police officer 2.0 seconds from the moment the Commodore passes to start the police car moving. The police car accelerates at 5.0 ms 2 to a velocity 40 ms-1 then remains at this constant velocity for another 4.0 s.

(i) How long does it take the police car to reach the speed of 40 ms-1 starting from rest ? (ii) How far has the Holden Commodore travelled during the total time described above? (iii) How far has the police travelled during the total time described above? (iv) On a velocity vs. time graph draw the motion of the Holden Commodore and the police car. Clearly indicate which line represents each vehicle. Label the axes and indicate values. (v) On an acceleration vs. time graph draw the motion of the Holden Commodore and the police car. (vi) On a distance vs. time graph draw the motion of the Holden Commodore and the police car.
