(Section – 1)
All questions are compulsory and carry equal marks (1x10=10)
1. The table shows the distance travelled by a car in each 2 s time interval during a 12 s period of its journey.
2.An object slides down a frictionless slope as shown. As the object presses on the surface, the surface pushes back
on the object. In which direction does the surface push back on the object?
3. A car, travelling on a straight road, brakes and comes to a stop. Which row gives the expression for calculating the
thinking distance and gives a variable that affects thinking distance?
4. An unstretched spring of length 15.0 cm stretches by 4.0 cm when a mass of weight 6.0 N is suspended from it.
The spring does not exceed the limit of proportionality. What is the total length of the spring when the weight of the
suspended mass is 3.0N?
The boat moves at a constant velocity. The vector diagram for the tension in the ropes is shown.
6. The graph shows how the speed of a car travelling in a straight-line changes with time. Which section shows the
largest acceleration?
7. A man walks along a path from X to Y. The diagram shows the path from above.
The man measures the distance he walks and the time taken. Which quantity can be calculated using this data only?
8. Which property of an object determines its resistance to a change from its state of rest or motion?
A its mass B its shape C its surface area D its volume
9. A car travels along a road. The force on the car due to the engine is 800N. The motion of the car depends on the
value of the total resistive force R.
Which row shows the motion of the car for the given value of R?
10 The graph shows how the extension of four different threads depends on the load attached. Which thread is the
most difficult to stretch over the range of loads shown?

1 A ball is released from rest at point A and moves along a smooth track ABCDE as shown in Fig. 1.1. The ball is
shown at point A and as it passes point B. The ball is always in contact with the track and air resistance is negligible.
Fig. 1.2 shows the distance−time graph for the ball as it moves from A to E.

Fig. 2.2 shows the speed of the glider during the first 12s of the motion

(b) In the first 6.0s of the motion, there is a resultant force of 1800N on the glider. Using the increase in speed in
the first 6.0s, calculate the mass of the glider.
(c) Determine the distance travelled by the glider in the first 6.0s of its motion.
