Question 1

a) Elastic collision: one in which the total kinetic energy of the system after the collision is
equal to the total kinetic energy before the collision

Inelastic collision: one in which the total kinetic energy of the system is not the same before
and after the collision.

b) i) J = -24.75 Ns
ii) KE = -61.9 J
iii) Rebound velocity will decrease. Because contact time between the wall and the ball will
increase.

c) i) T = 2s

ii) g = 9.87 m/s

Question 3

a) Thermal equilibrium is defined that if two objects at different temperature are placed in
thermal contact, the two objects will eventually reach the same temperature
b) i) Lo = 104.4 cm
ii) 15.6 cm
c) i) c = 224.3 J/kg °C
ii) Metal = Sn

Question 4

a) A comb rubbed with a piece of cloth will pick up small pieces of paper.
A television screen collects dust easily.
b) i) F = -1.80 x 10-4 N
ii) E = 3476.25 N/C

Question 5

a) Conductor is a material that conduct electricity, while insulator is material that does not
conduct electricity
b) P = 1500 W
c) i) R = 2.65 ohm
d) ii) I = 2.64 A
e) Iii) I (5ohm) = 0.34 A
