Thank you so much!Well this is from the past papers.
for mcq 15, this if because when u are falling u do not become lighter! the weight of the body remains constant but air resiatance increases such that (mg - air resistance), which is the resultant force decreases.


for question 18, u use v^2= u^2 +2as,

u look for acceleration using, u=10 ms-1 and s=10m,

u will get a=-5ms-2

since same braking force, deceleration will be the same for the second motion,

u reuse same equation of motion,

replace u by 30 and a by -5 search for s ;)

u will get s=90

btw where did u got this question? i got it for my mock exams

Can anyone please explain me the following question-
upload_2014-7-21_18-14-46.png

The answer given in marking scheme is
'when CG below pivot, weight acts through the pivot
(so) weight has no turning effect about pivot'

However I did not understand it so please help.

Look, just clear your all concepts. Remember all basic units. Go to my thread for materials. Just clear all concepts and you will clear it easily. :)
