An object is moving in a straight line at constant speed. A resultant force begins to act upon the object. State the ways in which the force may change the motion of the object. State one other effect a force could have on the object. The mass of a car is 1400 kg. The car, initially at rest, is moved along a level road by a resultant force of 3500 N. The car reaches a speed of 30 m / s. Calculate the average acceleration of the car. acceleration = Calculate the time for which the force is applied. time = State the name of a force which opposes the motion of the car.

A beaker contains water at room temperature. shows the beaker placed on a tripod above a Bunsen burner. The Bunsen burner is lit and the temperature of the water begins to increase. The water is evaporating. Describe one difference between evaporation and boiling. State and explain what happens to the rate at which the water evaporates as its temperature increases. After a few minutes, the water reaches its boiling point temperature. The water continues to gain energy from the Bunsen burner. State what happens to the temperature of the water in the beaker. The specific latent heat of vaporisation of water is 2.3 × 106 J / kg. After the water reaches its boiling point, it takes 12 minutes for 0.095 kg of water to boil away. Calculate the average rate at which energy is being supplied to the water by heating. rate of energy supplied =
