Question 1

1 mark

A runner moves at a constant speed of \( 3 \text{ m/s} \). Calculate the distance they travel in \( 2 \text{ minutes} \).

Question 2

1 mark

A force of \( 15 \text{ N} \) is applied to a spring, causing it to extend by \( 0.25 \text{ m} \). Calculate the spring constant, \( k \).

Question 3

1 mark

A car of mass \( 1200 \text{ kg} \) accelerates from rest to \( 30 \text{ m/s} \) in \( 6 \text{ seconds} \). Calculate the resultant force acting on the car.

Question 4

1 mark

Which of the following is a scalar quantity?

Question 5

1 mark

A car travels along a straight road. It accelerates from \( 10 \text{ m/s} \) to \( 22 \text{ m/s} \) in a time of \( 4 \text{ seconds} \). Calculate the acceleration of the car.

Question 6

2 marks

A student uses a newtonmeter to measure the weight of an object. State the relationship between the weight and the mass of an object.

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 7

3 marks

A car of mass \( 1200\text{ kg} \) is travelling at a constant velocity. Calculate the resultant force acting on the car and explain your answer using Newton's First Law.

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 8

4 marks

A student pushes a crate across a rough floor with a horizontal force of \( 40 \text{ N} \). If the crate moves a distance of \( 5 \text{ m} \) at a constant speed, calculate the work done by the student and state the energy transfer occurring due to friction.

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.
