✔ 最佳答案

1. By v = u + at

v = 0 + 10(12)

Speed, v = 120 ms-1

The answer is D. more than 100 ms-1.

2. By s = ut + 1/2 at2

0 = 10t + 1/2 (-10)t2

t2 - 2t = 0

t = 2s or 0 (rejected)

So, the answer is D. 2 seconds.

3. The answer is C. less than the speed it had when thrown upwards.

In the presence of air resistance, when the ball is moving downward, the air resistance acts upward, which is in the opposite to the direction of the weight of the ball. Hence, the net force acting on the ball is less than the weight of the ball (In the case that air resistance is absent)

Hence, the ball has a smaller acceleration when it is moving downward.

4. The answer is D.

At the top of the path, the instantaneous speed of the rock is zero, but not acceleration. The acceleration is still the acceleration due to gravity.

5. Mass of the vehicle = 400 / g = 400 / 10 = 40 kg

By Newton's 2nd law of motion

F = ma

-20 = 40a

Acceleration, a = -0.5 ms-2

By v = u + at

0 = 400 - 0.5t

Time, t = 800 s

The answer is C.
