8000g
- E.
8000kg
Correct Answer
E. 8000kgExplanation
The mass of an object can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. In this case, the given resultant force is 48kN and the acceleration is 6m/s^2. Rearranging the formula, we have mass = force/acceleration. Substituting the values, we get mass = 48,000N / 6m/s^2 = 8,000kg. Therefore, the mass of the lorry is 8000kg.Rate this question:

A motorcyclist of mass 250kg accelerates from rest to 20m/s in 4s. What is the force from the engine?
- A.
1250N
- B.
50N
- C.
1000N
- D.
5000N
- E.
20000N
Correct Answer
A. 1250NExplanation
The force from the engine can be determined using Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. In this case, the mass of the motorcyclist is given as 250kg and the acceleration can be calculated by dividing the change in velocity (20m/s) by the time taken (4s). Therefore, the acceleration is 5m/s². By substituting the values into the formula, the force from the engine is calculated as 250kg * 5m/s² = 1250N.Rate this question:

A seatbelt brings a passenger to a stop from 12m/s in just 2s. If the passenger has a mass of 60kg, what is the force exerted by the seatbelt?
- A.
720N
- B.
360N
- C.
10N
- D.
2.5N
- E.
0.25N
Correct Answer
B. 360NExplanation
When a passenger wearing a seatbelt comes to a stop, the force exerted by the seatbelt can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. In this case, the acceleration can be determined by dividing the change in velocity (12m/s) by the time taken (2s), resulting in an acceleration of 6m/s^2. Therefore, the force exerted by the seatbelt can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the passenger (60kg) by the acceleration (6m/s^2), which equals 360N.Rate this question:

An inflated balloon which has been rubbed against a person's hair is touched to a neutral wall and remains attracted to it. Which diagram best represents the charge distribution on the balloon and wall?
- A.
Option 1
- B.
Option 2
- C.
Option 3
- D.
Option 4
Correct Answer
C. Option 3Explanation
Option 3 best represents the charge distribution on the balloon and wall. When the balloon is rubbed against a person's hair, it becomes negatively charged due to the transfer of electrons. The neutral wall, on the other hand, remains neutral. The negative charge on the balloon attracts positive charges on the wall, causing the balloon to stick to the wall. Option 3 shows a negatively charged balloon and positive charges on the wall, indicating the attraction between them.Rate this question:

A material through which heat or electricity do not flow easily
- A.
Circuit
- B.
Current
- C.
Insulator
- D.
Conductor
Correct Answer
C. InsulatorExplanation
An insulator is a material that does not allow the easy flow of heat or electricity. Unlike conductors, which allow the flow of heat or electricity, insulators have high resistance and prevent the transfer of energy. This property makes insulators useful for electrical insulation and thermal insulation, as they can protect against electrical shocks and prevent heat loss or gain. Examples of insulators include rubber, plastic, glass, and wood.Rate this question:
