(a) Copy and complete TABLE 1 by stating any change (increase/decrease/constant/zero/no change) in the distance, speed and acceleration of the car for each zone. TABLE 1 Zone A B C Distance Speed Acceleration

[9 marks] (b) Which zone will the car instantenous equal to its average acceleration? [1 mark]

(a)

When an object is moving at a uniform velocity, does it need a force to maintain its uniform state of motion? Justify your answer. [4 marks]

FIGURE 3 A box of mass m is placed on an inclined plane as shown in FIGURE 3. Use a free body diagram to explain why the box is at rest on the incline. [6 marks]

20 mm 0.1 m

FIGURE 4 A 0.002 kg ball bearing is placed at one end of a spring and the spring is compressed by 20 mm as shown in FIGURE 4. A 0.4 N force will compress it 1.5 mm. (a) Calculate the energy stored in the spring. [3 marks] (b) Based on the work-energy theorem, why does the ball maintain a constant horizontal velocity after being released? [4 marks] If the ball then travels up a vertical frictionless circular track of radius 0.1 m, calculate the ball speed at the highest point of the track. [3 marks]
