Really need

In question 26, why is the answer D?

The breaking force isn't the same for both. There's a minor difference.
The first curve is brittle, the second one isn't.
The second one doesnt obey Hooke's Law.
The first one is elastic not plastic, because force is proportional to extension.
The last one is the answer because both curves have equal peaks. Peak = Ultimate tensile stress.

Hope this helped.

8: The velocity is constant for the first part and the second part but both are different. So acceleration is not constant. Also, there is no evidence that speed is zero at the start so B is wrong. Its not a straight line so distance is not proportional. Speed changes so D.

10: At X, sand is stationary and truck is moving so when they stick together the speed decreases.
At Y, sand also leaves with some speed and as the total mass remains same, the speed will not change.

23: Elastic potential or strain energy is calculated by area under force-extension graph. This is greatest in B.

I don't understand what happens at Y in question 10. The total mass of what remains the same? The sand falls away, so the total mass should be less.

14: Moment is calculated by force*distance so they are inversely proportional. B is the correct graph for this.

17 and 35

37. When resistance is zero, p.d. will be zero and current passing thorugh the circuit will be maximum due to low resistance.
When resistance is maximum, p.d. will be maximum but current will not be zero as some current passes through.

39. Few particles will bounce back as most of the mass is concentrated at a point so a head-on collision only will result in this which has a low probability.
