A horizontal force of 120 N is used to pull a 25 kg bag of sand 10 m along a floor.
How much work is done by the force?

A stopwatch is used to time an athlete running 100 m. The timekeeper forgets to reset the watch to zero before using it to time another athlete running 100 m.
How long does the second athlete take to run 100 m?

The diagram shows distance/time graphs.
Which graph shows an object moving at constant speed?

A large bag of feathers and a steel block balance each other on some scales.
What does this show about the masses and the weights of the bag of feathers and the steel
block?

A large bag of feathers and a steel block balance each other on some scales.
What does this show about the masses and the weights of the bag of feathers and the steel block?

The following are distance/time graphs.
Which graph shows an object moving at constant speed?

A student pours liquid into a measuring cylinder.
The student records the volume of the liquid from the scale on the measuring cylinder. He then puts the measuring cylinder containing the liquid on a balance and records the mass.
What else needs to be measured before the density of the liquid can be calculated?

A student wishes to measure accurately the volume of approximately 40 cm^3 of water. She has two measuring cylinders, a larger one that can hold 100 cm^3, and a smaller one that can hold 50c m^3. The water forms a meniscus where it touches the glass.
Which cylinder should the student use and which water level should she use to ensure an accurate result?

The graph shows how the speed of a car changes with time.
Which calculation gives the distance travelled by the car in 24 seconds?

A student adds weights to an elastic cord. He measures the length of the cord for each weight.
He then plots a graph from the results, as shown in the diagram.
What has he plotted on the vertical axis?

Four cars are driven along a road.
The table shows the work done by the engine in each car and the time taken by each car.
Which engine produces the most power?

A student places four identical beakers on a bench.
Two beakers contain salt water of density 1.1 g / cm^3 and two beakers contain pure water of
density 1.0g /cm^3.
Which beaker exerts the greatest pressure on the bench?

The object in the diagram is acted upon by the two forces shown.
What is the effect of these forces?

The diagram shows a balance being used to find the weight of a baby. The weight of the basket can be ignored.
At equilibrium, the pivot is nearer to the weight W than to the baby.
What is the weight of the baby?

A glider is descending at constant speed at an angle of 15 ° to the horizontal. The diagram shows the directions of the lift L , air resistance R and weight W acting on the glider.
Which vector triangle could represent the forces acting on the glider?

A student uses a measuring cylinder to measure the volume of some water. The diagram shows
part of the measuring cylinder. The top and bottom of the meniscus are labelled.
What is the volume of the water?

The graph represents the motion of a train travelling between two stations.
Which statement about the train is correct?

A car travels 6.0 km along a main road in 6.0 minutes. It then travels 2.0 km along a minor road in 6.0 minutes.
Which calculation of average speed for the whole journey is correct?

Two metal blocks P and Q have identical dimensions. They hang on identical spring balances.
What can be deduced about P and Q?

The diagram shows the only three forces acting on an object.
What is the resultant force on the object?

A uniform rod rests on a pivot at its centre. The rod is not attached to the pivot. Forces are then applied to the rod in four different ways, as shown. The weight of the rod can be ignored.
Which diagram shows the rod in equilibrium?

The diagram shows the height of a stack of identical coins.
What is the thickness of one coin?

In a laboratory, a ball is dropped in a vacuum and falls 200 cm.
Which statement describes the acceleration of the ball?
