Chapter 2 Test Y9 Physics

This document contains a chapter 2 test on physics for Year 9 students. It includes 5 multiple choice questions about speed-time graphs and the motion of objects. It also includes 3 longer answer questions analyzing speed-time graphs of a trolley rolling down a slope, a bus journey, and a car braking. Students are asked to interpret graphs, calculate average speeds and times, describe motions, and determine deceleration from a graph.

CHAPTER 2 TEST

Y9 PHYSICS

NAME ___________________________ DATE __________________

SECTION A. MULTIPLE CHOICE. Write the letter of the correct answer in the bracket [ ] provided.

1. A car moves with constant speed and then constant acceleration. Which graph is the speed-time
graph for the car?

[ ]
2. The diagram shows the speed-time graph for a car.

Which represents the distance travelled while the car is accelerating?


A. X
B. X + Y
C. Y
D. Y – X
[ ]
3. A car travels 100 km. The journey takes two hours. The highest speed of the car is 80 km/h, and
the lowest speed is 40 km/h. What is the average speed for the journey?

A. 40 km/h
B. 50 km/h
C. 60 km/h
D. 120 km/h

[ ]
4. A student determines the average speed of a bubble rising through a liquid at a constant speed.
When the student starts the stopwatch the bubble is at position P. After 2 seconds, the bubble
is at position Q.

What is the speed of the bubble between P and Q?


A. 3.2 cm/s
B. 3.7 cm/s
C. 6.4 cm/s
D. 7.4 cm/s
[ ]
5. What is happening at C?

A. stationary
B. accelerating
C. faster steady speed
D. slower steady speed
[ ]

SECTION B. THEORY. Answer each of the questions completely.

1. A slope is made by resting one end of a plank of wood on a block, as shown in Figure 1.1

Figure 1.1

Three students each use a digital stopwatch to time a small trolley rolling down the full length of
the slope. The times on their stopwatches as the trolley reached the bottom of the slope are
shown in Figure 1.2
a.) On the line next to each stopwatch, write the time measure by each student. [3]

Figure 1.2

b.) Calculate the average time measured for the trolley to roll the slope. Show your working.

Average time = _______________s [2]

c.) What other measurement must be taken in order to be able to calculate the average speed
of the trolley?

________________________________________________________________[1]

d.) Suggest one change that might be made to the arrangement in Figure 5.1 so that the same
trolley takes less time to roll down the full length of the slope.

2. A bus travels at a constant speed. It stops for a short time and then travels at a higher constant
speed. Using the axes in Fig 2.1, draw a distance- time graph for this bus journey.

Fig 2.1
[3]

3. A driving instructor gives a student a sudden order to stop the car in the shortest possible time.
Figure 3.1 shows the speed-time graph of the motion of the car from the moment the order is
given.

Figure 3.1
a.) State the speed of the car at t = 0. _____________________________ [1]
b.) Suggest why the car continues to travel at this speed for 0.9 s
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________[2]
c.) Calculate the deceleration of the car between t = 0.9 s and t= 4.0 s

[2]

d.) Calculate the total distance travelled by the car.
