Test #1 Time: 30 minutes Total marks 20 December 19, 2022

Question 1. (5 marks) Group the following quantities into scalars and vectors:

Speed, velocity, mass, acceleration, temperature, density, area, volume, moment, inertia, weight,
position, displacement, energy, momentum

Question 2. (5 marks) An experimental underwater robot rst moves from its starting
position a distance of 40 m towards north taking a time of 40 seconds. It then moves a distance
of 30 m towards east in another 20 seconds before stopping. Find the following:

(DO NOT use head to tail method please. You may nd sketching the paths of travel helpful).

• Velocity of the robot from its starting position to its nal position
• Speed of the robot from its starting position to its nal position

Question 3. (5 marks) A pair of gears A and B are meshed together. Gear A is driving the
gear B. Radius of gear A is 1 m, while the radius of gear B is 10 cm.

• If the gear A is rotating at 10 rpm, what is the speed of rotation of gear B?

• If the gear B has a moment of 100 N-m, what is the moment of gear A?

Question 4. (5 marks) A football with a mass of 425 g is moving with a speed of 20 km/ h
when it is kicked by a player. As a result the football now has a speed of 50 km/ h, while moving in
the same direction as it was earlier on (The direction is not changed). The ball remains in contact
with the foot for a mere 0.18 seconds, what is the magnitude of the force of the kick?
