(ii)

b) c)

Based on the observations of Diagram (i) and (ii), compare the characteristics of car when it crashes into the wall and the tennis ball when it is hit with a racquet. Hence, relate these characteristics to clarify a physics concept, and name this concept. Explain why a tennis player uses a taut racquet when playing. In launching a rocket, a few technical problems have to be overcome before the rocket can move upright to the sky. By using appropriate physics concepts, describe the design of a rocket and the launch techniques that can launch the rocket upright. (i) (ii) momentum is product of mass and velocity - The shape of car changed but the shape of wall remained. - The shape of ball remained but the shape of the racquet string was changed. (The racquet string is elastic but the wall is harder) - The time taken of collision between the ball and racquet string more than the time taken when the car hit the wall. - The impulsive force will decrease when the time of collision increased. - The concept is the impulsive force.

Answer a)

b)

- To decrease the time of collision between the ball and the racquet string. - Impulsive force will be increased. - The force act to the ball will be increased. - The velocity of ball will be increased. - Make a gradually narrower at the front shape (tapering) : To decrease air friction - Made by the high strength and high rigidity of materials : To decrease the probability to become dented (kemik). - Made by the low density of material. : To reduce the mass/weight - The structure is fractional engine : The mass will be decreased and the velocity will increase. - Made by the high of heat capacity of materials : It will be high heat resistance.

In a radio-controlled car racing competition, 4 mini-cars branded A, B, C and D took part. The information of the 4 cars is given in the table above. Details of the above information are given as below; Reaction time - Duration between the moment the radio-controlled is switched on and the moment the car starts moving. Resistance - Average value of opposing forces includes the friction between wheels and track, and air resistance. (a) What is the meaning of acceleration? (b) Draw a graph of velocity against time that shows a car moving initially with constant acceleration, then moving with constant velocity and followed by constant deceleration until it stops. (c) Explain the suitability of the properties in the above table in constructing a radiocontrolled car racing purpose. Hence, determine which brand of car will win the 50-metre race. (c) If Car B in the above table is moved up the plane at the angle of 30o to the horizon, (i) Show that the car is able to move up the plane. (ii) Determine the acceleration of the car.
