Tutorial 2.3

This document contains a tutorial with multiple choice questions and word problems about forces, motion, acceleration, momentum, and impulse. It begins with multiple choice questions about diagrams of motion and forces. The second part presents word problems to calculate force, acceleration, braking force, impulse, and impulsive force in situations involving objects on surfaces, cars braking, balls being thrown or struck, and a person jumping from a wall.

Which of the following can be


changed by a force?
A Mass
B Weight
C shape

4. In a high jump event, thick mattresses


with a soft surface are used to
A
increase the stopping time of the
body
B increase the impulsive force
C increase the momentum

Part B
1.. Solve the following.
a = 3 m s-2
m = 1000 kg

(a)

A force, F is required to move an object of mass 1000 kg with an acceleration of


3 m s-2. Calculate F when
(i)
object is on a smooth surface
(ii)
object is on a surface where the frictional force is 200 N

(b)

A block of mass 20 kg is pulled along the ground by a


force, F of 60 N. The frictional force is 10 N. Calculate
the acceleration of the block.

(c)

A car of mass 1200 kg which is travelling at 90 km h -1


comes to a stop in a distance of 50 m when the brakes are
applied. What is the average braking force of the car?

2. A trolley of mass 30 kg is pulled along the ground by horizontal


force of 50 N. The opposing frictional force is 20 N. Calculate
the acceleration of the trolley.

3. A 1000 kg car is travelling at 72 km h-1 when the brakes are


applied. It comes to a stop in a distance of 40 m. What is the
average braking force of the car?

4. A stuntman in a movie jumps from a tall building falls toward


the ground. A large canvas bag filled with air used to break his
fall. How is the impulsive force reduced?

5. A force of 20 N is applied for 0.8 s when a football player


throws a ball from the sideline. What is the impulse given to the
ball?

6. A tennis ball of mass 45 g travels at a velocity of 70 m s 1


immediately after it is struck by a racket. The time of contact
between the tennis ball and the racket is 0.5 ms.
Calculate (a) impulse and (b) impulsive force exerted on the ball.

7. John (mass, m = 50kg) jumps down from a wall. He lands on


the cement ground at a velocity of 6ms-1
a) John bends his knees upon landing. The time taken to stop his
motion is 1s.
b) John didnt band his knees upon landing. The time taken to stop
his motion is 0.05s.
Calculate the impulsive force that acts on Johns leg
