1 Summer holiday homework Physics Year 9/10 1 (a) The figure below shows two students investigating reaction time. Student A lets the ruler go. Student B closes her hand the moment she sees the ruler fall. This investigation can be used to find out if listening to music changes the reaction times of a student. Explain how. (4) (b) A second group of students used a stop clock and computer simulation test to measure their reaction times. The table below shows their results. 1

Suggest two possible reasons why this anomalous result occurred (Total 7 marks) 2 Figure 2 shows a skier using a drag lift. The drag lift pulls the skier from the bottom to the top of a ski slope. The arrows, A, B, C and D represent the forces acting on the skier and her skis. Figure 2 (a) Which arrow represents the force pulling the skier up the slope? 2

Use the following equation to calculate the work done to pull the skier up the slope. work done = force distance Work done =... J (d) At the top of the slope the skier leaves the drag lift and skis back to the bottom of the slope. Figure 2 shows how the velocity of the skier changes with time as the skier moves down the slope. Figure 2 3

4 After 50 seconds the skier starts to slow down. The skier decelerates at a constant rate coming to a stop in 15 seconds. Draw a line on Figure 2 to show the change in velocity of the skier as she slows down and comes to a stop.

Figure 1 (a) Measure the extension of the spring shown in Figure 1. mm Extension =... (b) The student used the spring, a set of weights and a ruler to investigate how the extension of the spring depended on the weight hanging from the spring. Before starting the investigation the student wrote the following prediction: The extension of the spring will be directly proportional to the weight hanging from the spring. Figure 2 shows how the student arranged the apparatus. Figure 2 7
