What does a velocity-time graph represent?

The first step in answering any question is to figure out what the question really means! Velocity is a term physicists use to describe not just speed, but speed in a particular direction. When we talk...

(ii) Describe and explain how the horizontal component of the water jet varies from point X to point Y. (2 marks)

(ii) Air resistance is said to be negligible in the question and since air resistance would be the only horizontal force acting on the jet, the horizontal force is also 0. (1 mark) This results in the hor...

A water jet starts at a point X and reaches its maximum height at a point Y. Air resistance has a negligible effect on the motion of the water jet. (i) State the direction of the force acting on the jet at Y. (1 mark)

(i) The only force acting on the water jet is gravity which always acts vertically downwards so the force at Y, as well as every point between X and Y, is down.Simply writing "down" would still ...

The cyclist used the brakes to slow down and stop the bicycle. A constant braking force of 140 N stopped the bicycle in a distance of 24 m. Calculate the work done by the braking force to stop the bicycle. Give the unit. (3 Marks)

Work done= force x distance.Here we are told that the force is 140N. The braking distance of the bike is 24m. Therefore, work done is 140 x 24=3360 (2 marks) Joules.(1 mark)The units of work done are Joul...
