3. Diagram shows a glass being droed onto a concrete floor. The glass shattered after imact.

The
velocity of the glass just before the imact is 10ms .

a) Name the force involving during the imact.

b) Give one reason why the glass shatters after the imact.

c) The mass of the glass is 150g. calculate the force alied on the glass when it hits the
concrete floor is 0.02s.

d) Suggest a way how you would avoid the glass from shattering when droed from the
same height.

Section c.

1. A student carries out an experiment to investigate the relationship between the height, h of the
raised end of an inclined lane and the and the acceleration, a of a trolley as it moves freely down
the inclined lane. The arrangement of the aaratus is shown below.
a) based on the grah in diagram :

i) State the relationship between a and h. (1mark)

ii) Determine the value of a when h = 0.50 m. (3marks)

show on the grah how you determine the value of a.

a= ms

iii) calculate the gradient, m of the grah. Show on the grah how you determine m (3 marks)

b) the gradient , m of the grah is given by the formula , m=g/l, where g is the ghravitational
acceleleration and l is the length of the inclined lane. In the inclined lane. In the experiment, l =
3.3 m. calculate the value of g.
(2 marks)

c) the student reeats the experiment using another inclined lane of length, l = 5m. the raised end `
of the inclined lane is fixed at height, h = 0.15m.

using the formula a= (g/l) x h and the value of g in 2(b), calculate the acceleration, a, of the
trolley. (2 marks)

d) state one recaution that should be taken to imrove the results of this experiment.
