Physics
WAEC 2016

(a) Explain the term net force.

(b) Define the principle of conservation of linear momentum and state one example of it.

(c) A ball of mass 200 g released from a height of 2.0 m hits a horizontal floor and rebounds to a height of 1.8 in. Calculate the impulse received by the floor. (g = 10 ms\(^{-2}\)).

(d) A body of mass 20 g performs a simple harmonic motion at a frequency of 5 Hz. At a distance of 10 cm from the mean position, its velocity is 200 cms\(^{-1}\). Calculate its:

(i) maximum displacement from the mean position;

(ii) maximum velocity;

(iii) maximum potential energy. (g = 10 ms\(^{-2}\) \(\pi\) = 3.14)

Explanation

(a) Net force is the effective or resultant force resulting from the actions of a system of forces on a body.

 

(b) The principle ofconservation of linear momentum explains that in an isolated or closed system of colliding bodies the total linear momentum in a fixed direction remains constant, e.g. the recoil of gun, colliding trolleys, rocket propulsion, etc.

 

(c) V\(_1^2\) = \(U_1^2 + 2gh_1\) = 0 + 2 x 10 x 2

= 40

\(V_1 = \sqrt{40}\) = 6.325m/s

\(v_2^2 = u_2^2 - 2gh_2\)

O = \(U^2_2\) - 2 x 10 x 1.8

u = \(\sqrt{36}\)

= 6ms\(^{-1}\)

Impulse Change in momentun

mv\(_1\) - (-mu\(_2\)) = m (v\(_1\) + u\(_2\))

= 0.2(6.325 + 6.000)

= 2.46 Ns

 

(d) v = \(\omega \sqrt{r^2 - y^2}\)

2\(\pi\)f\(\sqrt{r^2 - y^2}\)

2 = 2 x 3.14 x 5 x \(\sqrt{r^2 - 0.1^2}\)

r = 0.12m

(ii) Vmax = \(\omega\)r = 2\(\pi\)fr

= 2 x 3.142 x 5 x 0.12

= 3,77 m/s

(iii) P.E = \(\frac{1}{2}m \omega^2e^2 = \times \frac{1}{2}m(2 \pi f)^2r^2\)

= \(\frac{1}{2} \times 0.02(2 \times 3.142 \times 5)^2 \times (0.12)^2\)

= 1.42 x 10\(^{-1}J\)
