A car travels along a straight road.
The speed-time graph for this journey is shown.
During which labelled part of the journey is the resultant force on the car zero?
A
B
C
D
A large stone is dropped from a bridge into a river.
Air resistance can be ignored.
Which row describes the acceleration and the speed of the stone as it falls?
A
B
C
D
A cup contains hot liquid.
Some of the liquid evaporates.
What happens to the mass and what happens to the weight of the liquid in the cup?
A
B
C
D
An object moves in a circle at constant speed.
Which statement about the force needed on the object is correct?
A A force away from the centre of the circle keeps the object moving in the circle.
B A force in the direction of motion of the object keeps it moving in the circle.
C A force towards the centre of the circle keeps the object moving in the circle.
D No force is needed to keep the object moving at constant speed in the circle.
The diagram shows a non-uniform beam of weight 120 N, pivoted at one end.
The beam is kept in equilibrium by force F.
What is the value of force F?
A 30 N
B 40 N
C 360 N
D 480 N
An object is acted upon by a 3 N force and by a 4 N force.
Each diagram shows the two forces.
Which diagram also shows the resultant X of these two forces?
A bullet of mass 0.10 kg travels horizontally at a speed of 600 m / s.
It strikes a stationary wooden block of mass 1.90 kg resting on a frictionless, horizontal surface.
The bullet stays in the block.
What is the speed of the bullet and the block immediately after the impact?
A 30 m / s
B 32 m / s
C 60 m / s
D 134 m / s
A stone of mass m is held at rest in water.
The stone is released and falls vertically a distance h.
The stone reaches a speed v.
Some of the original energy of the stone is transferred to the water.
As it falls, resistive forces cause the temperature of the water and stone to increase.
Which expression gives the work done against the resistive forces?
Which energy resource does not derive its energy from the Sun?
A geothermal
B hydroelectric
C oil
D waves
Some processes are more efficient than others.
Which expression gives the efficiency of a process?
A diver under water uses breathing apparatus at a depth where the pressure is 1.25 × 105 Pa.
A bubble of gas breathed out by the diver has a volume of 20 cm3 when it is released.
The bubble moves upwards to the surface of the water.
At the surface of the water, the atmospheric pressure is 1.00 × 105 Pa.
The temperature of the water is the same at all depths.
What is the volume of this bubble when it reaches the surface?
A 15 cm3
B 16 cm3
C 20 cm3
D 25 cm3
The diagram shows a simple mercury barometer.
The atmospheric pressure increases.
Which distance increases?
A VW
B WY
C XY
D XZ
Which statement describes what happens as ice at 0 °C starts to melt to become water?
A Energy is absorbed and the temperature remains constant.
B Energy is absorbed and the temperature rises.
C Energy is released and the temperature remains constant.
D Energy is released and the temperature rises.
Which processes occur in a metal to cause thermal conduction?
A
B
C
D
A wooden beam is painted part black and part white.
The beam absorbs infra-red radiation from the Sun during the day, and loses infra-red radiation to the surroundings at night.
A
B
C
D
5.0 g of water at 25 °C is dropped onto a large block of ice at 0 °C.
The water cools to 0 °C and some of the ice melts.
Assume that all the energy lost by the water is gained by the ice.
What is the mass of ice that melts?
The specific heat capacity of water is 4.2 J / (g °C).
The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is 340 J / g.
A 0.062 g
B 0.087 g
C 1.5 g
D 10 g
