Answer Key

Section A — Multiple Choice Questions
  1. (B) newton
  2. (B) $\vec{F}=\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}$
  3. (B) $\text{N}\cdot\text{s}$
  4. (B) $f_k=\mu_k N$
  5. (B) $\frac{mv^2}{r}$
  6. (B) $\tan\theta=\frac{v^2}{rg}$
Section B — Short Answer (2 marks)
  1. $a=\frac{15}{3}=5\ \text{m/s}^2$.
  2. Impulse equals the change in momentum: $\vec{J}=\vec{F}\Delta t=\Delta\vec{p}$.
  3. $f_k=\mu_k mg=0.2\times50=10\ \text{N}$.
  4. The incline angle at which a body just starts to slide; $\tan\theta=\mu_s$.
Section C — Short Answer (3 marks)
  1. $N=m(g+a)=60\times12=720\ \text{N}$.
  2. $F=\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{800\times100}{40}=2000\ \text{N}$.
Section D — Long Answer (5 marks)
  1. Equal-and-opposite internal forces give $\Delta p_1=-\Delta p_2$, so total $p$ is conserved; common velocity $=\frac{2\times5}{5}=2\ \text{m/s}$.
  2. $N\sin\theta=\frac{mv^2}{r}$ and $N\cos\theta=mg$ give $\tan\theta=\frac{v^2}{rg}=\frac{900}{900}=1$, so $\theta=45^{\circ}$.
