QUESTION 4

A 4,5 kg skateboard is pushed to the left at a constant speed of 3 m s-1 on a horizontal

flat surface. A boy of mass 45 kg runs to the right at a speed of 1,5 m s-1 and jumps
onto the skateboard.

4.1 State the law of conservation of linear momentum. (2)

4.2 Calculate the velocity of the boy and the skateboard immediately after
he lands on the skateboard. (4)
[6]

QUESTION 5

A small block of mass 0,4 kg is released from rest at point A, which is 0,8 m vertically
above the ground. It takes the block 3 s to slide down from point A to E where it comes
to rest. The length of the track from A to E is 8,1 m. Point D is 0,3 m vertically above
the ground.

The surface of points A to D is frictionless. Points D to E have a rough surface. Ignore

the effect of air resistance.

B C 0,3 m

5.1 State the principle of conservation of mechanical energy. (2)

5.2 Is the kinetic energy at point B the same as that at point C? Write only
YES or NO. (1)

5.3 Give a reason for the answer to QUESTION 5.2. (1)

5.4 Use the energy principles to calculate the speed of the block as it
reaches point D. (4)

QUESTION 3 (Start on a new page.)

Object A is projected vertically upwards from the ground. It takes 0,8 s to pass a
window which is 1,5 m high and 8 m above the ground. It strikes a balcony at a velocity
of 1,4 m·s-1 and falls back to the ground.

At the same time, object B is projected vertically downwards at a velocity of 8 m·s-1.

Ignore the effects of air friction.
