Questions in 9702/21 May/June 2022

  1. Question 1Dynamics ยท 10 marks

    (a) Define velocity. (b) A rock of mass 7.5 kg is projected vertically upwards from the surface of a planet. The rock leaves the surface of the planet with a speed of โ€ฆ

  2. Question 2Forces, density and pressure ยท 10 marks

    (a) State what is meant by the centre of gravity of an object. (b) A non-uniform rod XY is pivoted at point P, as shown in Fig. โ€ฆ

  3. Question 3Work, energy and power ยท 9 marks

    (a) (i) Define power. (ii) A force F takes time t to move an object through a displacement x at constant velocity v in the direction of the force. The work done by the force is W. Use the definition โ€ฆ

  4. Question 4Deformation of solids ยท 5 marks

    A spring is suspended from a fixed point at one end and a vertical force is applied to the other end, as shown in Fig. 4.1. fixed point spring F L Fig. 4.1 The variation of the applied force F โ€ฆ

  5. Question 5Superposition ยท 8 marks

    A horizontal string is stretched between two fixed points A and B. A vibrator is used to oscillate the string and produce an observable stationary wave. At one instant, the moving string is straight, as shown in Fig. โ€ฆ
