shows a box attached to a parachute. The box and the parachute are falling through the air. 16.0 N box parachute 2.5 N 20.0 N shows three vertical forces acting on the box and the parachute. Calculate the resultant vertical force and state its direction. resultant vertical force = N direction Suggest and explain what happens to the size of the upward vertical force on the parachute if the area of the parachute used is increased. suggestion explanation shows the speed–time graph for the box before the parachute is opened. time / s speed m / s Determine the time when the speed of the box is 30 m / s. time = s Deduce the size of the resultant vertical force on the box when the time is 35 s. Explain your answer. size of resultant vertical force explanation Calculate the distance the box moves between time = 30 s and time = 40 s. distance = m

A car driver needs to remove one of the wheels on his car. He puts a spanner on a wheel nut. spanner 50 cm wheel nut wheel tyre 200 N The driver applies a force of 200 N, as shown in . Calculate the moment of the 200 N force about the centre of the wheel nut. moment of force = N cm The moment in does not release the wheel nut. The driver cannot increase the force but can increase its moment. State and explain how the driver can increase the moment of the force. statement explanation The driver releases a second wheel nut in a shorter time than the first wheel nut. The driver uses the same amount of energy in releasing both wheel nuts. less than the same as greater than Complete the sentences using the phrases in the box. Each phrase may be used once, more than once or not at all. The work done in releasing the second wheel nut is the work done in releasing the first wheel nut. The power produced in releasing the second wheel nut is the power produced in releasing the first wheel nut.

shows a metal kettle used for heating water. The kettle is connected to the mains power supply. The metal case is connected to earth. A fault causes the live wire to come loose and touch the metal case, as shown. live wire touching the metal case fuse live wire neutral wire heating element earth wire The kettle is switched on. There is a very large electric current in the live wire. Explain why this large electric current can be dangerous. Explain how a fuse helps to protect against the danger of a large electric current. Explain why the kettle is not safe to use with the fuse connected into the neutral wire instead of the live wire. The current in a device when operating normally is 3.1 A. State a suitable value for the fuse. Choose one of these values: 3 A, 5 A, 10 A and 13 A. A small kettle has a potential difference (p.d.) of 12 V (d.c.) across its heating element. The current in the heating element is 2.5 A. Calculate the resistance of the heating element. resistance of the heating element = Ω
