SECTION A

Question 1

a) A graph of T versus for a simple pendulum is a straight line. True or False. Why? [2]

b) Name two parts of measurement and state their significance. [2]

c) A motor bike running at 5ms-1, picks up a velocity of 30 ms-1 in 5 s. Calculate (i) acceleration (ii) distance covered

during acceleration. [2]

d) Derive the formula for acceleration. [2]

e) Name any two common instruments to measure the length of a cylindrical block and width of a thin wire. [2]

SECTION B

Question 2

(a) (i) State two factors which determine the time period of a pendulum.

(ii) Write an expression for the time period of a pendulum, stating clearly the meaning of symbols used. [3]

(b) A motor bike is running at 90 km hr-1 is slowed down to 54 km hr-1 by the application of brakes, over a distance

of 40 m. If the brakes are applied with same force, calculate the

(i) total distance travelled by the bike.

(ii) total time in which bike comes to rest. [3]

(c) Draw the velocity – time graph for following situations:

(i) When the body is moving with a uniform velocity.

(ii) When the body is moving with variable velocity, but uniform acceleration.

(iii) When the body is moving with variable velocity and uniform retardation.

(iv) When the body is moving with variable velocity and variable acceleration. [4]
