The diagram above illustrates a uniform metre rule which is balanced on a pivot by some masses. Calculate the value of M

A.

500.0g

B.

400.0g

C.

44.4g

D.

25.0g

Correct answer is D

clockwise moment = Anti-clock wise moment

= M x 40 = 100 x 10

M = \(\frac{1000}{40}\)

= 25g

A car starts from rest and covers a distance of 40m in 10s. Calculate the magnitude of its acceleration

A.

0.25ms-2

B.

0.80ms-2

C.

3.20ms-2

D.

4.00ms-2

Correct answer is B

S = ut + \(\frac{1}{2} at^2\)

40 = 0 x 10 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) x a x 102

50a = 40

a = \(\frac{40}{50}\)

= 0.8ms-2
