1 D 2 C 3 C 4 A 5 C 6 F = net (or total or resultant) force m = mass of the object a = acceleration of the object 7 Forces acting are: vertically down: weight; vertically up: drag (and upthrust). [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [1]

The net force is zero, since the acceleration of the sphere is zero. 8 The newton is the net force acting on an object of mass 1 kg that produces an acceleration of 1 m s2. 9 W = mg W = 0.120 9.81 = 1.18 N 1.2 N 10 a

b This equation can only be used for constant acceleration. In this situation, the acceleration of the car depends on its speed, hence the equation v = u + at cannot be used. [1] 15 a

F = ma Since the lift is travelling at constant velocity, its acceleration is zero. The net force on the person is zero, hence: R = weight R = mg = 80 9.81 780 N
