Section C:
(a) Resultant force is a single force that has resulted from a system of forces and acts in a definite direction. 1
(b) To win a race, the time taken to accelerate of the radio-controlled car should be as short as possible. The car can start
to move in the shortest time. 2

The density of the radio-controlled car should be low. The mass of the radio controlled car will be lighter. This 2
enables the car to accelerate with higher value.

The thrust of the radio-controlled car should be high. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the 2
supplied force if the mass remains the same. Thus, higher thrust will produce greater acceleration.

The shape of the radio-controlled car should be aerodynamic. The air resistance will be small and the car can move 2
faster.

The car with trade name C will win the race. This is because it takes 0.3 s to accelerate to 10 m s-2 from rest, it has the 2
smallest mass of 1.2 kg, its propulsion force of 8.5 N is quite big, and it has aerodynamic shape.
c)i) The component of weight
= mg sin 1
= 1.75 (10) sin 30
= 8.75 N 1
Since the thrust, 16.0 N > weights component, 8.75 N, hence, car D can move up the inclined 1
plane.

ii) Use F = ma
Acceleration, a = 5 m s-2 (Show the substitution) 2

d)i) Acceleration is zero because its velocity is constant. 1

ii) Resultant force = Applied force - resisting force 1

iii) F = ma
1200 1000 = 500 a 1
Acceleration, a = 0.4 m s-2 1
Section D:

(a) The length of the tyre mark depends on its mass. 1

(b) The greater the mass, the greater the inertia/ period of oscillation/ time taken to come to a stop. 1

(c) i) to investigate the relationship between mass and inertia/ period of oscillation/ time taken to come to a 1
stop
(ii) Variables: Manipulated variable: Mass of the plasticine 1
Responding variable: Period of the oscillation
Fixed variable: The stiffness of jigsaw blade and the distance of the centre of the plasticine from the 1
clamp
(iii) Apparatus and materials: Jigsaw blade , stopwatch , plasticine sphere of different masses and G-clamp

(iv) arrangement:

(v) procedure:
1) Clamp one end of jigsaw blade to the leg of a table with G- clamp.
2) A 20g plasticine ball is fixed at the free end of the blade.
3) The free end of the blade is displaced horizontally and released so that it oscillates. The time for 10
complete oscillations,t10is measured using a stopwatch and recorded.
10
4)Then the period of oscillation is determined by using = .
5) Step (3) and step (4) are repeated using plasticine ball with masses 40g , 60g , 80g and 100g
6) A graph of T2 versus mass of load, m is drawn.
