Section A · multiple choice

  1. 1.

    The SI unit of time is the:

    1. hour
    2. day
    3. minute
    4. second
    Answer

    (d) second

  2. 2.

    A cyclist covers 570 m in 19 s. What is the speed?

    1. 30 m/s
    2. 60 m/s
    3. 49 m/s
    4. 570 m/s
    Answer

    (a) 30 m/s

    570 ÷ 19 = 30

  3. 3.

    A speed of 95 m/s in km/h is:

    1. 475 km/h
    2. 95 km/h
    3. 342 km/h
    4. 352 km/h
    Answer

    (c) 342 km/h

    95 × 18/5 = 342

Section B · short answer

  1. 4.

    What is a simple pendulum?

    Answer

    A small heavy bob hung by a thread from a rigid support, free to swing.

  2. 5.

    A runner covers 600 m in 50 s. Find the speed in m/s.

    Answer

    12 m/s

    600 ÷ 50

Section C · long answer

  1. 6.

    Describe how to find the time period of a simple pendulum.

    Answer

    Tie a bob to a thread about 100 cm long and hang it from a rigid stand. Pull it slightly to one side and release. Time 10 complete oscillations with a stopwatch and divide by 10. Repeat 3–4 times and take the average.
