Questions in 9709/42 Oct/Nov 2022

  1. Question 1Work, Power and Energy ยท 3 marks

    A cyclist is riding a bicycle along a straight horizontal road AB of length 50m. The cyclist starts from rest at A and reaches a speed of 6msโˆ’1 at B. The cyclist produces a constant driving force of magnitude 100N. โ€ฆ

  2. Question 2Forces ยท 7 marks

    A particle P of mass 0.4kg is in limiting equilibrium on a plane inclined at 30ร… to the horizontal. (a) Show that the coe๏ฌƒcient of friction between the particle and the plane is โ€ฆ

  3. Question 3Newton's Laws of Motion ยท 6 marks

    A particle of mass 0.3kg is held at rest by two light inextensible strings. One string is attached at an angle of 60ร… to a horizontal ceiling. The other string is attached at an angle !ร… to a vertical wall โ€ฆ

  4. Question 4Kinematics ยท 6 marks

    A car of mass 1200kg is travelling along a straight horizontal road AB. There is a constant resistance force of magnitude 500N. When the car passes point A, it has a speed of 15msโˆ’1 and an acceleration of 0.8msโˆ’2. (a) โ€ฆ

  5. Question 5Kinematics ยท 7 marks

    A block A of mass 80kg is connected by a light, inextensible rope to a block B of mass 40kg. The rope joining the two blocks is taut and is parallel to a line of greatest slope of a plane โ€ฆ
