 Structured Questions
Question 01
A small boat travels with a velocity of 4.0 m / s due north in an area of still water.
(a) State what is meant by velocity.
V=d/t The speed of something in a given direction or the displacement per unit time.
..................................................................................................................................................
..................................................................................................................................................
.................................................................................................................................................. [1]
(b) The boat travels from the area of still water into an area where the velocity of the water is
2.0 m / s towards the north-east, as shown in Fig. 1.1.

Fig. 1.1 (not to scale)

Combining the initial velocity of the boat with the velocity of the water gives the resultant velocity of the boat.
In the space on the page opposite, draw a vector diagram to show the resultant velocity. Use your diagram
to find the size and direction of the resultant velocity.

size of resultant velocity = ...............................................................

direction of resultant velocity = ...............................................................[4]

Question 02

A children’s ride consists of a steel cable that runs between two posts of different heights, as shown in Fig.
2.1.

Fig. 2.1

A girl starts and finishes the ride at rest. Her horizontal motion can be taken as
• an initial uniform acceleration for 3.0 s, followed by
• a constant speed of 2.4 m / s for a further 5.0 s and
• a final uniform deceleration that lasts for 1.0 s.

(a) On Fig. 2.2, draw a speed-time graph of the horizontal motion.
