a) Diagram 2.1(i) shows tin P that is empty and tin Q that is filled with water. A student
find difficult to pushed tin Q. Write the inference about the observation.
The difficulty to move the tin depends to its mass.
………………………………………………………………………………………
b) Diagram 2.1(ii) shows a tin being released from the different positions M and N. The
hand of a student at position R needs greater force to stop the motion of the tin falling
from position M. Explain this observation.
From position M the velocity of tin is more than the velocity compare when it is
………………………………………………………………………………………
from N. Ek increase then the force to stop it will be increased.
………………………………………………………………………………………
c) Based on the observation (i) and (ii), state two factors that affect the magnitude of the
momentum of the object.
mass and velocity
………………………………………………………………………………………
d) If water flows out from a hole at the bottom of the tin Q, how would the inertia of Tin
Q depends on time ?
inertia of tin Q will decrease because the mass of tin decreased.

(ii) Based on the observations of Diagram (i) and (ii), compare the characteristics
of car when it crashes into the wall and the tennis ball when it is hit with a
racquet. Hence, relate these characteristics to clarify a physics concept, and
name this concept.
b) Explain why a tennis player uses a taut racquet when playing.

c) In launching a rocket, a few technical problems have to be overcome before the rocket
can move upright to the sky. By using appropriate physics concepts, describe the
design of a rocket and the launch techniques that can launch the rocket upright.

Answer
a) (i) momentum is product of mass and velocity

(ii) - The shape of car changed but the shape of wall remained.
- The shape of ball remained but the shape of the racquet string was
changed. (The racquet string is elastic but the wall is harder)
- The time taken of collision between the ball and racquet string more than
the time taken when the car hit the wall.
- The impulsive force will decrease when the time of collision increased.
- The concept is the impulsive force.

b) - To decrease the time of collision between the ball and the racquet string.
- Impulsive force will be increased.
- The force act to the ball will be increased.
- The velocity of ball will be increased.

c) - Make a gradually narrower at the front shape (tapering)

: To decrease air friction
- Made by the high strength and high rigidity of materials
: To decrease the probability to become dented (kemik).
- Made by the low density of material.
: To reduce the mass/weight
- The structure is fractional engine
: The mass will be decreased and the velocity will increase.
- Made by the high of heat capacity of materials
: It will be high heat resistance.

In a radio-controlled car racing competition, 4 mini-cars branded A, B, C and D took part.

The information of the 4 cars is given in the table above. Details of the above information are
given as below;
Reaction time - Duration between the moment the radio-controlled is switched on and
the moment the car starts moving.
Resistance - Average value of opposing forces includes the friction between
wheels and track, and air resistance.
(a) What is the meaning of acceleration?
(b) Draw a graph of velocity against time that shows a car moving initially with constant
acceleration, then moving with constant velocity and followed by constant
deceleration until it stops.
(c) Explain the suitability of the properties in the above table in constructing a radio-
controlled car racing purpose. Hence, determine which brand of car will win the 50-
metre race.
(c) If Car B in the above table is moved up the plane at the angle of 30o to the horizon,
(i) Show that the car is able to move up the plane.
(ii) Determine the acceleration of the car.
Answer :
(a) Increase the velocity
(b) v / ms-1
displacement = area under the graph

t/s
(c) - time reaction mast be short : fast to detect the signal to start its move
- has a small of mass : to decrease the inertia, then easier to start move and to
stop its moving.
- thrust force is high : has more power during its moving / increase the
acceleration
- friction force is low : decrease the lost of force
- the best car is A : because it has short of time reaction, small of mass, high of
thrust force and low friction of force.
