11t Moments Evidence Exam Question For Edexcel Physics

1. A toy train is placed in the middle of a model railway bridge. The weight of the train creates downward forces X and Y at different points on the bridge. Based on the information provided, the correct forces are X=15N and Y=30N. 2. As the train moves from point P to point Q on the bridge, force X will decrease from 15N to 0N because the point of application of the downward force will move further from point P. 3. A man stands on a wooden board to paint a wall. The principle of moments states that the total clockwise moment equals the total anticlockwise moment. Using this principle, the force X exert

Q1.

A toy train is placed on the middle of a bridge on a model railway. force

The weight of the train acts through its centre of gravity.

Ignore the weight of the bridge.

(a) Which row of the table shows the correct values for forces X and Y?
(1)

(b) Describe how force X changes if the train moves from P to Q.


(2)
Force X decreases. It goes from 15N to 0N.

Q2.

(a) A man stands on a wooden board to paint a wall, as shown in diagram 1.


The diagram shows some of the forces acting.

(i) State the principle of moments.


(1)
The total clockwise moment equals to the

total anticlockwise moment.


.............................................................................................................................................
(ii) Calculate force X.
[ignore the weight of the wooden board]
(4)

(b) The man walks to the other end of the wooden board, as shown in diagram 2.

Explain the change in force X as the man walks along the wooden board.
(3)
.............................................................................................................................................
Force X decreases because the man
