3 Dynamics MS (AS LEVEL)

This document discusses concepts related to forces and motion, including: 1) Newton's second law of motion which states that net force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma) 2) Examples calculating net force, acceleration, weight, and drag force on various objects 3) Clarifying that the kinematic equation v=u+at can only be used when acceleration is constant

1 D [1]
2 C [1]
3 C [1]
4 A [1]
5 C [1]
6 F = net (or total or resultant) force [1]
m = mass of the object [1]
a = acceleration of the object [1]
7 Forces acting are:
vertically down: weight; vertically up: drag (and upthrust). [1]

The net force is zero, since the acceleration of the sphere is zero. [1]
8 The newton is the net force acting on an object of mass 1 kg that produces an acceleration
of 1 m s−2. [1]
9 W = mg [1]
W = 0.120 × 9.81 = 1.18 N  1.2 N [1]

10 a Net force = 800 − 300 = 500 N (downwards) [1]


F 500
a= =  6.1 m s − 2 [1]
m 82
0
b Net force = 0 and a = = 0 m s−2 [1]
80
c Net force = 800 − 1500 = −700 N [1]
F − 700
a= =  −8.5 m s − 2 (deceleration) [1]
m 82

11 a W = mg [1]
W = 5.0 × 8.77  44 N [1]
b W = 5.0 × 9.81  49 N [1]
12 Base units of v and/or u are m s−1. [1]
Base units of a are m s−2. [1]
Clear statement that v2, u2 and a times s have base units m2 s−2. [1]
13 Net force = (20 + 380 − 70) = 330 N [1]
F 330
a= = [1]
m 160
a  2.1 m s −2 [1]

14 a i Net force = 400 − drag [1]
net force = 400 − (0.3 × 202) = 280 N [1]
F 280
ii a= = [1]
m 920
a = 0.304 m s −2  0.30 m s −2 [1]
b This equation can only be used for constant acceleration. In this situation, the acceleration
of the car depends on its speed, hence the equation v = u + at cannot be used. [1]

15 a F = ma
Since the lift is travelling at constant velocity, its acceleration is zero. [1]
The net force on the person is zero, hence:
R = weight
R = mg = 80 × 9.81  780 N [1]
b F = ma
R − mg = ma [1]
R = m(g + a) = 80(9.81 + 2.3) [1]
R  970 N [1]
Note: R > weight in order for the person to have an upwards acceleration.
