1.

How does Newton's third law apply to equilibrium situations?

a)

Acceleration

b)

A body is in equilibrium when the forces acting on it are all balanced, so there is no overall force acting on the body. 

2.

What’s the thinking distance?

a)

The distance travelled by the vehicle because of the braking force

b)

The distance travelled by the vehicle during the driver’s reaction time

3.

What’s the braking distance?

a)

The distance travelled by the vehicle because of the braking force

b)

The distance travelled by the vehicle during the driver’s reaction time

4.

What’s the stopping distance?

a)

The distance travelled by the vehicle because of the braking force

b)

The distance travelled by the vehicle during the driver’s reaction time

c)

sum of the distance the vehicle travels during the driver's reaction time (thinking distance) and the distance it travels under the braking force.

5.

How is reaction time can affect thinking distance?

a)

The distance travelled by the vehicle because of the braking force

b)

The distance travelled by the vehicle during the driver’s reaction time

c)

Longer reaction times increase the thinking distance when stopping from a given speed. 

6.

Describe physical factors that can affect braking distance - condition of tyres, road etc

a)

Weight of the vehicle

b)

Temperature

c)

Speed of vehicle

d)

Sunlight

e)

efficiency of the braking system.

7.

explain why large decelerations are dangerous and estimate values forces involved in deceleration of road vehicles

a)

The distance travelled by the vehicle because of the braking force

b)

The distance travelled by the vehicle during the driver’s reaction time

c)

Large decelerations may cause the brakes to overheat, and the driver may also lose control of the vehicle.

8.

Describe the origin and properties of longitudinal waves and examples

a)

Electromagnetic waves

b)

the vibrations are parallel to the direction

c)

Move up and down

d)

Sound waves

9.

Describe the origin and properties of transverse waves and examples

a)

Electromagnetic waves

b)

the vibrations are parallel to the direction

c)

Move up and down

d)

Sound waves

10.

Meaning of frequency

a)

The distance travelled by the vehicle because of the braking force

b)

The distance travelled by the vehicle during the driver’s reaction time

c)

Number of waves passing a point each second

11.

Meaning of amplitude

a)

The distance travelled by the vehicle because of the braking force

b)

The distance travelled by the vehicle during the driver’s reaction time

c)

Number of waves passing a point each second

d)

How tall the wave is

12.

Meaning of crest

a)

The distance travelled by the vehicle because of the braking force

b)

The distance travelled by the vehicle during the driver’s reaction time

c)

The top of the wave

d)

How tall the wave is

13.

A way of remembering EM waves

a)

Rabbits mate in very unusual expensive gardens

b)

Rabbits mate in very unusual gardens

14.

Explain how radio waves are generated by oscillating charges in the transmitter and how this generates a current in the receiver?

a)

Electricity flowing into the transmitter antenna makes electrons vibrate up and down it, producing radio waves.

b)

A body is in equilibrium when the forces acting on it are all balanced, so there is no overall force acting on the body. 

c)

electrons produce radio waves which are transmitted over as distance. At the receiver, the radio waves cause electrons to oscillate. 

15.

Explain how microwaves can be used to communicate with satellites?

a)

The distance travelled by the vehicle because of the braking force

b)

The distance travelled by the vehicle during the driver’s reaction time

c)

Longer reaction times increase the thinking distance when stopping from a given speed. 

d)

penetrate haze, light rain and snow, clouds, and smoke are beneficial for satellite communication

a)

The distance travelled by the vehicle because of the braking force

b)

The distance travelled by the vehicle during the driver’s reaction time

c)

It can damage human body tissue

17.
