initial momentum = 3mv - 2mv
=mv
final momentum (conservation of momentum)
mv = 4mw where w is the final vellocity
w = v/4

nehaoscar i wud be incredibly great full if u cud solve question 12 and 21 frm p12 oct 2014 aswell , thank u !!!

Can someone please explain to me what do they mean by "use graphical methods to represent distance, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration" (From Kinematics unit in the syllabus)?

i think what they mean is that u sketch a graph of distance,speed , acceleration etc.

12.
Take moments about the bottom left corner
clockwise = aniti-clockwise moments
Fh + Wa = 2Wa

21.
Strain energy is the area under the graph
Break the graph into sections and calculate the area
Remember to multiply the length by 10^-2 since it's in cm

9.
height h will decrease since it's dropped from top to bottom
So the option is between A and B
The velocity is the gradient
Velocity is not constant since there is acceleration so the gradient is not constant
so it's A

Can anyone please explain question 11?

Momentum of whole system is conserved not of an object.

Any tips on how to write a commentary?
Like the layout and perhaps a list of features and effects to look for?
Can anyone provide me with sample commentaries if you have done in school? (preferably with marks)

Also tips on paper 1 and paper 2 as well to get an A
Thanks in advance

13. Taking moments about the pivot, and apply the principle of moments:

(taking all moments in anti-clockwise direction to be positive)

sum of all anti-clockwise moments - sum of all clockwise moments = 0

* 'd' is the distance from the pivot where the 50g weight should be hung.
* Also I have converted all the lengths to meters (m)

(20/1000 * 9.81 * 60/100) - (10/100 * 100/1000 * 9.81) + (50/1000 * 9.81 * d) = 0
by solving it we get:

d = - 0.04m = -4 cm

the minus sign here indicates that the moment produced by the 50g weight is in the clockwise direction. Hence the 50g weight should be placed 4cm on the right side of the pivot in order to achieve this. So the mark at which it'll be placed is 44cm (40+4)

The Answer is therefore C.

14. Let the height from which it is dropped be 'h'.

First, consider the sphere before colliding:
it hits the metal plate with speed 'u' that means that it's final speed after release from rest is 'u'.

so find 'h' in terms of 'u' by applying equation of motion:

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2as (vf = final velocity; vi = initial velocity)
putting the values:
(u)^2 = (o)^2 + 2gh
u^2 / 2g = h ---- (1)

Now consider the sphere after it has jumped off after colliding with the metal plate.
It leaves the surface with speed 'v' that means it leaves the metal plate with K.E = 1/2 mv^2
apply the law of conservation of energy:
K.E lost = Gain in P.E
(i'm letting the mass of sphere to be 'm')
1/2 mv^2 = m g (h/2)
h = v^2 /g --- (2)

put these two equations equal and solve to get v/u.
u^2 / 2g = v^2 / g
v^2 / u^2 = 1/2
v/u = 1/√2

So the answer is C.

Thank You so much for those two!



Any takers for the others?

I might have solved the other two as well but i haven't studied those topics yet so maybe anyone else can help Dark Destination @F.M.Z. 7 cool Hassan
