2 (c) As the train is driven round the bend, there is an extra force acting, called the centripetal force. (i) On Fig. 1.2, draw an arrow to show the direction of this force. train curved track direction of motion (ii) Fig. 1.2 State the effect that this force has on the motion. (iii) State how this force is provided. 2 [3] [Total: 8] A scientist needs to find the density of a sample of rock whilst down a mine. He has only a spring balance, a measuring cylinder, some water and some thread. (a) In the space below, draw two labelled diagrams, one to show the spring balance being used and the other to show the measuring cylinder being used with a suitable rock sample. [2]

The train decelerates approaching the bend so that at the start of the bend it has just reached the maximum allowed. The train is driven around the bend at the maximum allowed and accelerates immediately on leaving the bend. (i) What is the maximum allowed round the bend in the track? (ii) How long does the train take to travel the bend of the track? maximum =... (iii) Calculate the length of the bend. time taken =... (b) length of bend =...

4 2 3 In a laboratory on Earth, balances show that an object has a mass of 2 kg and a weight of 20 N. The same balances and object are then taken to the Moon, where the gravitational field strength is less than on the Earth. Are the mass and weight of the object the same, or less, than before? mass weight A less less B less same C same less D same same The diagram shows a micrometer scale. mm 0 5 20 15 10 Which reading is shown?
