0 Time (t) s
The movement starts at “u” m/s and has a linear acceleration am/s2.
The straight line graph
∆𝑦 ∆𝑉
Y=mx+c …………………. (1) but c=u; and 𝑚 = ∆𝑥 = ∆𝑡
=𝑎
Thus equation (1) becomes:
𝑉 = 𝑢 + 𝑎𝑡 ….. Equation of motion
Final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration(time)

Where 𝑎 = 𝑡
and ∆𝑉 = 𝑉 − 𝑢

Question 2:
Newton’s third law of motion
a. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
b.
ℎ = 600 − 260
ℎ = 440𝑐𝑚
Therefore 𝑇 = 0.1(10 − 9.81) = 0.023𝑁

∆𝑚 =
Question 4:
When objects collide in the absence of:
a. External forces, the total momentum of the system is conserved. If collision happens
to be elastic, then kinetic energy will be conserved.
b. The conservation of momentum gives:
i. 𝑃𝑓 = 𝑃𝑜
𝑀𝐴 𝑉𝑓1 + 𝑀𝑏 𝑉𝑓2 = 𝑀𝑎 𝑉𝑜1 + 𝑀𝑏 𝑉𝑜2
𝑀𝐴 𝑉𝑓1 + 𝑀𝑏 𝑉𝑓2 = 𝑀𝑏 𝑉
𝑀𝐴 𝑉𝑓1 = 𝑀𝑏 𝑉 − 𝑀𝑏 𝑉𝑓2
𝑀𝐴 𝑉𝑓1 = 𝑀𝑏 (𝑉 − 𝑉𝑓2 )

(𝑀𝑏 𝑉01 2 ) + 2 (𝑀𝐴 𝑉02 2 )
Note: Vo1 = 0 and Vo2 = v m/s
𝑀𝐵 𝑉𝑓1 2 + 𝑀𝐴 𝑉𝑓2 2 = 𝑀𝐵 (𝑂)2 + 𝑀𝑎 (𝑉)2
𝑀𝐵 𝑉𝑓1 2 + 𝑀𝐴 𝑉𝑓2 2 = 𝑀𝑎 (𝑉)2
