Question 8

 (a) Define uniform acceleration.

(b) Forces act on a car in motion. List the

(i) horizontal forces and their directions;

(ii) vertical forces and their directions

 

(c) A car starts from rest and accelerate uniformly for 20s to attain a speed of 25 ms\(^{-1}\). It maintains this speed for 30s before decelerating uniformly to rest. The total time for the journey is 60s.

(i) Sketch a velocity-tune graph for the motion.

(ii) Use the graph to determine the (\(\alpha\)) total distance travelled by the car (\(\beta\)) deceleration of the car.

The figure here illustrates force-extension graph for a stretched spiral spring. Determine the work done on the spring.
