At a traffic junction near a school, a special surface is used on the portion of the road just before traffic light junctions to prevent
accidents from taking place.

This special surface increases the amount of friction between the vehicles and the road.

Why is the purpose of this special surface on the road?

(1) By increasing friction, the vehicles will slow down and accidents are less likely to occur.
(2) By increasing friction, there will be lesser wear and tear on the surfaces of the tyres.
(3) By increasing friction, the road can be heated up and prevent people from walking.
(4) By increasing friction, there will be fewer vehicles on the road.

In an experiment, Celesta wanted to find out how the surface area of a parachute affected the time taken for an electric toy car to
travel distance X. The diagram below shows Celesta attaching a parachute to the electric toy car.

Celesta recorded her readings in the table below.

 
Surface area of parachute (cm²) Time taken to complete distance X (s)
500 20
600 28
700 34
800 45

Celesta then cut a few holes in the 800 cm² parachute and repeated the experiment.
Which of the following correct change in time for the toy car to complete distance X and the reason why?
 
  Time taken Reason
The holes increased the amount of air
(1) More than 45 seconds resistance, hence there is more
frictional force.
The holes increased the amount of air
(2) Less than 45 seconds resistance, hence there is less frictional
force.
The holes decreased the amount of air
(3) More than 45 seconds resistance, hence there is more
frictional force.
The holes decreased the amount of air
(4) Less than 45 seconds resistance, hence there is less frictional
force.

Travis wanted to find out which of the two springs, A or B of the same length, is safer to be used for the baby cradle. His baby has a
mass of 3 kg.
He hung various weights one at a time and recorded the extension of the two springs in the graph below.

Based on the above information, which spring, A or B is more suitable to be used for the cradle?

(1) Spring A should be used as it is stiffer than spring B.

(2) Spring B should be used as it is stiffer than spring A.
(3) Spring A should be used as it experiences more elastic spring force when a 3kg mass is hung.
(4) Spring B should be used as it experiences more elastic spring force when a 3kg mass is hung.

Stella taped a straw to a toy car. She then attached an inflated balloon to one end of the straw as shown below, and covered the open
end of the straw with her finger to prevent the air inside the balloon from escaping.

When Stella released her finger, air rushed out of the balloon, exerting a force. However, the car did not move forward along the level
floor.

The toy car could not move because the force exerted by the escaping air was less than ______.

A - the weight of the straw and the toy car

B - the weight of the balloon and the straw
C - the friction between the toy car and the floor

(1) A only
(2) C only
(3) A and B only
