1 A bus breaks down on a road with a 10° upward slope. The passengers get out and push the
bus to the top of the slope at a constant speed. Fig. 1.1 shows the passengers exerting a
force on the bus parallel to the line of the slope.

Fig. 1.1
(a) The total mass of the bus is 3200 kg.
(i) Calculate the weight of the bus.

weight = ..................................................... [1]

(ii) On Fig. 1.1, draw two arrows to show the direction of the weight of the bus and
the direction of the force exerted on the bus by the passengers. [1]
(iii) The total force exerted by the passengers on the bus is 17 000 N along the line
of the slope. Use a graphical method to determine the size and direction of the
resultant of this force and the weight of the bus. State the scale used.

scale = ...........................................................
size of resultant = ...........................................................
direction of resultant = ...........................................................

(iv) The bus travels at a constant speed. State the size of the resultant of all the forces
acting on the bus.
.............................................................................................................................. [1]
(b) As the passengers push the bus up the slope, work is done against two forces. State
the names of these two forces and, for each force, state the form of energy produced as
work is done.
force 1 ..............................................................................................................................
form of energy 1 ...............................................................................................................
force 2 ..............................................................................................................................
form of energy 2 ...............................................................................................................
[4]
(c) When the bus reaches the top of the slope, it stops and the passengers get back in.
(i) On the axes of Fig. 1.2, sketch the distance-time graph for the bus from a time
when the passengers are pushing the bus at constant speed until they get back
into the stationary bus.

Fig. 1.2
[3]
(ii) State how the speed of a moving object may be obtained from an accurately drawn
distance-time graph.
