PHYSICS TEST: 1. A horizontal pole is attached to the side of a building.

There is a pivot P at the wall and a chain is connected from the end of the pole to a point higher up the wall.

There is a tension force F in the chain. What is the moment of the force F about the pivot P? 1234Fxh Fxs Fxl Fxd

4. A spring extends by 4 cm when 10 N is suspended from it. Two of these springs are used as shown to carry a 30 N load.

What is the extension of each spring?

1234-

4 cm 6 cm 8 cm 12 cm

5. A car is travelling at constant speed along a road and discovers that a thin sheet of ice has formed on the road. Fearing for his safety, the driver applies the brakes to stop the car. Compared to braking on a dry road, what may happen?

1- The car takes longer to slow down because the thinking distance of the driver is greater. 2- The car takes longer to slow down because of the reduced friction between the tyres and the road. 3- The car slows down more quickly because of the greater friction between the tyres and the road. 4- The car speeds up at first because of the reduced friction between the tyres and the road.

6. An object of mass 2 kg is pushed along a horizontal flat surface. The friction force is measured to be 4 N. When the same object is pushed along the same surface with a force of 10 N, it moves with a constant

1- Speed of 3 m/s 2- Acceleration 3- Speed of 5 m/s 4- Acceleration of 3m/s2 7. If a nut and bolt are difficult to undo, it may be easier to turn the nut by using a longer spanner. This is because the longer spanner gives 1- A larger turning moment 2- More Force 3- More Energy 4- More Power Prepared By: Sir Raheel Khan Page 2

8. There are two forces acting on a car: drag force and the driving force provided by the engine. When the force provided by the engine is equal to the drag force, 1- The car is moving at a uniform non velocity. 2- The car is moving at a constant acceleration. 3- The car is stopping. 4- The car is moving at a constant velocity. 9. A girl uses paper clips to balance a toy bird on her finger as shown.

What is the effect of the paper clips? 1234They do not affect the center of mass but increases weight. They help to raise the center of mass above her finger. They help to lower the center of mass below her finger. They help to raise the center of mass to her finger.

10. When two forces are combined, the size of the resultant depends on the angle between the two forces. Which of the following can not be the magnitude of the resultant when forces of magnitude 2 N and 5 N are combined? 1- 8 N 2- 7 N 3- 2 N 4- 3.5 N
