Mock paper 2 revision

The battery in an electric car needs to be recharged.

Suggest factors that would affect the range of the car.

The max acceleration of the car is 15m/s^2

Find the time for the car to get from 0 to 24 m/s at its maximum
acceleration
In a test, the car accelerated at 12 m/s^2 until it reached its final
velocity.
The distance travelled was 600 m and it started from rest.
What was the final velocity of the car?
At its top speed, the air resistance acting on the car is 3500 N.
Find the work done against air resistance when the ncar travels a
distance of 7 km at its top speed.
• Draw a ray diagram to show light reflecting off of a plane mirror.
• Include a normal line and label the incident and reflected rays.
Give 3 factors that would affect the braking distance of a car.

Explain how the driver’s reaction time affects the thinking distance
On some motorways, there are sets of cameras that detect a car’s
average speed between 2 points.

The speed limit on a road is 30 m/s.

The cameras are positioned 2.5 km apart.

Find the minimum time it takes to travel between the cameras without
braking the speed limit.
Explain why the average speed of the car and the average velocity of
the car could be different on the same stretch of road.
As rain droplets fall, they accelerate. Explain why.

Eventually, the droplets stop accelerating and reach their terminal

velocity. Explain why they reach their terminal velocity.
• What is meant by the ‘centre of mass’ of an object.

• 10 apples are weighed on some scales. The scale reads 820 grams.
Calculate the mean weight of an apple. (grav field strength = 9.8 N/kg)
When a force of 8 N is applied to spring, the spring compresses from a
length of 8 cm to 5 cm.

Find the spring constant for the spring.

Compare the formation and life cycle of stars with similar masses to the
Sun to those with a much greater mass than the Sun (6 marks)
-Describe what is meant by ‘red- shift’

- Explain how red shift provides evidence for the Big-Bang theory.

- Why would scientists have to change their theories ?

A rectangular tile, 24 by 10 cm, lies at the bottom of a canal.
The top surface of the tile is 2.40 m below the surface of the water in
the canal.
The force acting on the top of the tile due to the weight of the water is
640 N.
Grav field strength = 9.8 N/kg

Calculate the density of the water (6 marks)
