Level

Question 1

SLPaper 1A

A mass is suspended by a rope and pulled sideways by a horizontal force until the rope makes an angle of $2 5^{\circ}$ to the vertical. Which of the following free-body diagrams best represents the forces acting on the mass?

Question 2

SLPaper 1A

An elevator containing a load accelerates downward at $2 m s^{- 2}$ . If the mass of the load is $m$ , what is the magnitude of the normal force acting on the load?

Question 3

SLPaper 1A

A car of mass $m$ is navigating a banked circular road of radius $r$ at a constant speed $v$ . There is no friction between the tires and the road. What is the correct expression for the angle $θ$ of banking that allows the car to stay on the road without slipping?

Question 4

SLPaper 1A

A boulder is pushed with a force of $400 N$ across a horizontal surface with a dynamic friction coefficient of $μ_{d} = 0.25$ . What is the maximum possible mass of the boulder?

Question 5

HLPaper 1A

A small raft is being towed on a pond by two horizontal cables. One cable applies a force of $50 N$ toward the South, while the second applies a force of $120 N$ toward the West. If the raft moves with constant velocity, what is the magnitude of the resultant resistive force on the raft?
