Momentum and Newton's laws of motion — practice question

Write your answers in the spaces provided for every question.
(a)[2]

Complete Table 1.1 by indicating for each quantity whether it is a vector or a scalar. The quantities are acceleration, power and work.

(b)

Fig. 1.1 shows how the velocity $v$ of an object varies with time $t$.

(b(i))[2]

Determine the acceleration of the object for the interval from time $t = 0$ to time $t = 4.0\,\text{s}$.

(b(ii))[2]

Determine the distance moved by the object over the interval from time $t = 0$ to time $t = 4.0\ \text{s}$.

(c(i))[1]

Define force

(c(ii))[3]

The motion shown in Fig. 1.1 is produced by a resultant force $F$ acting on the object. On Fig. 1.2, sketch how $F$ varies with time $t$ from $t = 0$ to $t = 12.0\ \text{s}$. You do not need to include numerical values of $F$.
