Please write your answers in a new sheet of paper. Attach your answer sheet(s) together with this question paper upon submission. (Given mass of the Sun = 2.00 x 1030 kg, mass of Earth = 5.98 x 1024 kg, mass of Moon = 7.35 x 1022 kg, radius of the Earth = 6.37 x 106 m, G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 kg-2, the Sun-Earth distance = 1.496 x 1011 m, the Earth-Moon distance = 3.84 x 108 m) 1. A body of mass 3.0 kg moves in a circular track from the point X to the point Y which is at the other end of a diameter. The speed of the body is 0.60 ms-1. The change in the momentum of the body is

Zero kg m s-1 3.6 kg m s-1 7.2 kg m s-1

[1m]

2. A planet is moving around the Sun in a circular orbit of circumference C. The work done on the planet by the gravitational force F of the Sun is A. F/C B. Zero. C. FC/2 [1m] 3. A fan rotates at a constant speed and makes 30 rotations per minute. The distance from the centre of the fan to the tip of each blade is 0.80 m. What is a) The period of rotation of the blades of the fan b) The angular velocity [4m] 4. When will your apparent weight be the greatest, as measured by a scale in a moving elevator: when the elevator a) accelerates downward b) accelerates upward c) is in free fall d) moves upward at constant speed? In which case would your weight be the least? When would it be the same as when you are on the ground? [4m] SET_20
