An object is moving in a straight line at constant speed. A force is applied to the object. State the possible changes in the motion of the object. shows a skier taking part in a speed competition. The winner of the competition has the highest average speed over the 100m section shown in . start skier 100 m The skier starts from rest and has a constant acceleration. He reaches a speed of 60m/s in 16s. Calculate the skier’s acceleration. acceleration = 1 11 Over the length of the 100m section, the time recorded is 1.85s. Calculate the skier’s average speed over the section. average speed = Suggest why the skier bends his body, as shown in . Explain your answer. [Turn over 1 11

shows a cabin used to transport passengers up a hillside. pulley pulley pulley A B C drive pulley connected to electric motor cable 50 m cabin support cabin NOT TO SCALE The cabin is attached to a cable which moves horizontally from A to B, then up the hill from B to C. There is an electrical input of energy to the motor which moves the cable. Place two ticks against types of energy that increase as the cabin moves horizontally at constant speed from A to B. kinetic energy of the cabin gravitational potential energy of the cabin gravitational potential energy of the cable internal energy of the surroundings internal energy of the wires of the motor The cabin and passengers have a total mass of 800kg. The vertical distance between B and C is 50m. Calculate the increase of gravitational potential energy of the cabin and passengers when they move from B to C. energy = 1 11 The cabin then descends back from C to B. The weight of the cabin pulls the cable, which rotates the motor. The electric motor acts as a generator when rotated in this way. Explain the environmental and economic benefits of this arrangement.

Two pans containing water are placed on the hotplates of an electric cooker, as shown in . hotplates large pan small pan The hotplates are switched on and the temperature of the water in the pans starts to increase. When the temperature of the water is below 100°C, some water is evaporating. At 100°C, the water starts to boil and its temperature remains constant. State and explain which pan has the greater rate of evaporation of water when both pans of water are at the same temperature. Apart from the temperature at which it occurs, state how boiling differs from evaporation. When the water is boiling, thermal energy is being supplied to the water at a rate of 920W. Explain the effect on the molecules of the thermal energy supplied. 1 11 The specific latent heat of vaporisation of water is 2.3 × 106J/kg. Calculate the mass of water that boils away in 5.0minutes. mass = [Turn over 1 11
