0 1 In a cricket match, a bowler bowls to a batsman.


0 1 . 1 The team coach is watching the bowler. In Table 1, she records
how far each of the balls travel and the time taken to reach the
batsman.
Table 1

Ball 1 2 3 4 5
Time in s 0.42 0.46 0.48 0.55 0.58
Distance in m 17.55 18.30 18.40 17.90 17.75

Suggest a pattern, if any, between the time taken for the ball to
reach the batman and the distance the ball travels.

(1 mark)

0 1 . 2 Give the resolution of the stopwatch the team coach uses to time
1 the ball.

(1 mark)

0 1 . 3 Suggest one way the team coach can check the reproducibility of
her results.

0 2 . 2 The velocity at light gate A is 0.20 m/s, the acceleration is


0.32 m/s2, and the time taken is 1.9 s. Calculate the velocity of the
ball at light gate B.
Use the equation:
change in velocity
acceleration 
time taken

Velocity: m/s (4 marks)

0 2 . 3 The apparatus is set up so that the end of the tube is balanced on


blocks of wood. Suggest an improvement to the apparatus set up.

(1 mark)

0 2 . 4 Suggest a relationship between the acceleration of the ball and the


height of the wooden block.

0 2 . 5 A second group of students carry out the investigation. They also


measure the velocity of the ball at point C.
A graph of their results is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2

Calculate the acceleration of the ball between points B and C on


the graph. Give the unit of acceleration.

Acceleration: Unit: (4 marks)

0 3 A velocity–time graph of a high speed rocket is shown in Figure 3.


Figure 3

0 3 . 1 Describe how the acceleration at 10 s can be calculated using the


graph. You do not need to do the calculation.

(2 marks)

0 3 . 2 Describe one method of calculating the distance travelled by the


rocket using the graph. You do not need to do the calculation.

(1 mark)

0 3 . 3 Give a reason why the equation


(final velocity)2 – (initial velocity)2 = 2 × acceleration × distance
cannot be used to calculate the distance travelled by the rocket.
