8- The diagram shows a balance being used to find the weight of a baby. The weight of the basket can be ignored. At equilibrium, the pivot is nearer to the weight W than to the baby.
What is the weight of the baby? (a) less than W (b) more than W (c) = W (d) Impossible to tell from these given information

1- A factory measures 120 m, 60 m, 20 m. The air inside it has a density of 1.1 kg/m3, when it is cool. a) Calculate the volume of the air in the theatre, in m3
b) Calculate the mass of the air. State the equation you are using.
2- The diagram below shows a uniform metre rule, weight W, pivoted at the 75 cm mark and balanced by a force of 2 N acting at the 95 cm mark.
c) Use the conditions of equilibrium to calculate the upward push happens at the pivot (fulcrum) to this rule.
3- A girl wearing a parachute jumps from a helicopter. She does not open the parachute straight away. The table shows her speed during the first 9 seconds after she jumps
Time in seconds Speed in m/s 0 0 1 10 2 3 4 40 5 25 6 17 7 12 8 10
9 10
a) Complete the table by writing down the speed at 2 and 3 seconds? b) How many seconds after she jumped did the girl open her parachute? How do the results show this? .. .. c) Plot a graph of speed against time.
4- On this graph, Sketch a velocity-time graph for a car moving with uniform acceleration from 0 m/s to 30 m/s in 15 seconds then moves with constant velocity for another 10 seconds.
a) Use the sketch graph to find the distance travelled during the first 15 seconds.
b) Use the sketch graph to find the distance travelled during the last 10 seconds.
5- The diagram below shows some of the forces acting on a car of mass 800kg.
Direction of motion
a. State the size (value) of the total drag force if the car is travelling at a constant speed
b. The driving force is increased to 3200N i. Find the resultant force on the car at this instant.
ii.
Write down, in words, the equation connecting mass, force and acceleration.
iii.
