Answer Key

Section A — Multiple Choice Questions
  1. (B) scalar
  2. (B) negative
  3. (B) speed
  4. (B) $x^2$
  5. (B) watt
  6. (C) $1$
Section B — Short Answer (2 marks)
  1. $W=25\times 4=100\ \text{J}$.
  2. $KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times 6^2=54\ \text{J}$.
  3. $U=\frac{1}{2}\times 150\times (0.2)^2=3\ \text{J}$.
  4. $P=\frac{8000}{16}=500\ \text{W}$.
Section C — Short Answer (3 marks)
  1. $W=\int_0^2 (4x+2)\,dx=[2x^2+2x]_0^2=8+4=12\ \text{J}$.
  2. $v=\frac{5\times 6}{6}=5\ \text{m/s}$; initial KE $=90\ \text{J}$, final KE $=\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 5^2=75\ \text{J}$, KE lost $=15\ \text{J}$.
Section D — Long Answer (5 marks)
  1. $W_{net}=\Delta KE$; derivation from $v^2=u^2+2as$ gives $Fs=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$. For braking, $6000\times s=\frac{1}{2}\times 1200\times 20^2=240000\ \text{J}$, so $s=\frac{240000}{6000}=40\ \text{m}$.
  2. Top: $E=mg(40)=400m$. Midpoint (20 m, $v^2=2g\times20=400$): $KE=200m$, $PE=200m$, sum $=400m$. Bottom ($v^2=2g\times40=800$): $KE=400m$, $PE=0$, sum $=400m$. Mechanical energy is constant at $400m\ \text{J}$.
