The moment of a force about a point is defined as: a) the product of force and time b) the product of force and distance from the point of rotation c) the product of mass and acceleration d) the product of mass and gravitational force --- ### Section B: Short Answer Questions 4. (a) Define Newton's second law of motion. (2 marks) (b) A force of 10 N is applied to a mass of 2 kg. What is the acceleration of the mass? (2 marks) --- 5. A ball of mass 0.5 kg is thrown upwards with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. Calculate: (a) the time taken to reach the highest point (3 marks) (b) the total time the ball is in the air before it hits the ground again. (3 marks) --- ### Section C: Long Answer Questions 6. A cyclist travels along a straight horizontal path with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. After 5 seconds, a force of 50 N is applied in the direction of motion. The mass of the cyclist and the bicycle is 70 kg. Calculate: (a) the acceleration of the cyclist caused by the force. (3 marks) (b) the final velocity of the cyclist after the 5 seconds. (2 marks) (c) the total distance traveled by the cyclist during the 5 seconds. (3 marks) --- 7. A block of mass 2 kg sits on a frictionless inclined plane which makes a 30° angle with the horizontal. (a) Calculate the gravitational force acting on the block along the plane. (3 marks) (b) If the block starts from rest, calculate the time it takes to slide down a distance of 5 m along the incline. (4 marks) --- ### Section D: Experiment and Data Analysis 8. A student carries out an experiment to measure the acceleration due to gravity using a free-fall apparatus. They drop a ball and measure the time taken for it to fall 1.5 m. Describe the method the student should use to ensure accurate results. Include considerations for potential sources of error.
