QUESTION ONE: MOTION
Jason spends a day at an amusement park.
He stands on a merry-go-round, which turns at a constant speed.
The diagram below shows Jason standing on the merry-go-round, which is going around in a
clockwise direction.
(a)
On the diagram above, draw an arrow on Jason to show the direction of his velocity at that
point.
(b)
The radius of the merry-go-round is 4.0 m. The merry-go-round takes 15 s to do a complete
circle. Jason has a mass of 65 kg.
Calculate the centripetal force needed to keep Jason moving in a circle.

Jason then goes for a ride on a go-kart. Towards the end of the ride, he decelerates at 2.5 m s- 2
and comes to a stop in 4.2 seconds.
By calculating Jason's initial velocity, determine the distance he travels while coming to a
stop.

On another occasion, Hillary stands
3.0 metres from the hoop. She throws a ball
with an initial velocity of 6.5 m s-1 at an angle
of 60° to the horizontal. The hoop is 1.35 m
above the bottom of the ball when it is thrown
initially.
Carry out calculations to determine whether
or not the ball will go through the hoop.
Begin your answer by calculating the
horizontal and vertical components of the
initial velocity of the ball.

Jason collides head-on with Janet who is in another bumper car. The bumpers don't work
properly and after collision both cars lock together. The mass of each bumper car is 240 kg.
Jason has a mass of 65 kg and Janet has a mass of 58 kg. They are travelling towards each
other in opposite directions, Jason with a speed of2.4 m s- 1 to the right and Janet with a speed
of 2.7 m s-1 to the left.
