throughout the whole journey.
a.
Use the graph to determine:
i.
the speed while she drives at constant speed.
_____________(2)
ii.
how much time did Kimberly take to decelerate, _____________(2)
iii.
the acceleration during the first part of her journey.

c. Andrew investigates whether the force required for moving an object at rest depends on the
mass of the object. He is given a number of boxes, a string, a force sensor and a data logger.
He attaches a string to a force sensor which is connected to a data logger and pulls the box until
it starts to move.
force
wooden box
data logger
string
sensor
i.
Write down the following steps in order.
No.
A graph of mass of boxes against force is plotted.
The smallest force to make the box move is recorded.
The apparatus is set up as shown above.
1
The experiment is repeated a few times, each time taking note of the mass
of the boxes and the force required to move them.
A box of known mass is pulled by the string attached to the force sensor.
(4)
ii.
Underline the correct answer:
The force required to move an object ( increases / decreases / remains the same ) as the
mass of the object increases.
