A student investigates the effect of changing the mass of a trolley on its acceleration when the resultant force acting on it is constant. The trolley is placed on a runway inclined at $ 8^{\circ} $ to the horizontal and it is accelerated by a falling 50g mass, which is attached…

The diagram shows a linear air track with two gliders A and B, with different masses, which move on the track with negligible friction. The gliders each carry a magnet arranged to repel the other glider when they approach. Initially, glider A moves towards glider B, which is stat…

This question is about the motion of a spacecraft taking off from the surface of the Moon. (a) Fig. 6.1 shows a lunar module leaving the Moon. The launch platform was used to land the lunar module on the Moon when it arrived. Fig. 6.1 (i) Use the data below to show that the downw…
