2.

50 pieces of plumbum pebles of mass 0.5 g each with diameter 0.2 mm are dropped from a height
of 28 m. The pebles fall with an acceleration of 10 m s -2 before hitting a block of thin plumbum of
weight 30 N. When the pebles hit the plumbum block, the tempreture increased by 1.2 oC and
produced 320 J of heat energy.
Based on the above description, gather the physical quantities involved according to their
characteristis.

A student carry out an experiment to investigate the relationship between the extension of a
rubber strip, y and the load, m. The apparatus arranggement is shown as FIGURE 7.1. is the
length of the rubber strip when a load is hung on it.

FIGURE 7.1

Initially there is no load hung to the rubber strip. The length of the rubber strip is 0 . The original
length 0 is shown as in Figure 7.2.
The experiment is repeated using load, m = 0.3 kg, 0.6 kg, 0.9 kg, 1.2 kg and 1.5 kg. The length
of the rubber strip when different load is hung to it is shown in Figure 6.2.

(b)

Based on Figure 7.2, determine the length of the rubber strip 0 and when different load is
used. In each measurement, calculate the extension, y of the rubber strip.
Tabulate your result for m, and, y.

(c)

On the graph paper provided, plot a graph of y against m.
