Any three from:

  • the magnetic flux linkage with the copper fins
  • causes e.m.f. to be induced in the copper – Faraday’s law
  • this causes a magnetic field which opposes the change – Lenz’s law
  • which slows down the car

Safety:

  • this would work even in a power cut
  • cannot stop car completely as relies on movement

  • increasing falling mass connected to trolley
  • labelled diagram

For accuracy:

  • mention of friction compensated slope
  • falling masses taken from on top of trolley so that mass of system says constant
  • repeats to identify anomalies

Question

Answer

1

Impulse is area under graph. Split the graph into three shapes (2 triangles and a rectangle) and work out the area of these individually.

Area = (\(\frac{1}{2}\) × 0.6 × 10–3 s × 2.2 × 103 N) + (0.3 × 10–3 s × 2.2 × 103 N) + (\(\frac{1}{2}\) × 0.6 × 10–3 s × 2.2 × 103 N)

= 0.66 N s + 0.66 N s + 0.66 N s = 1.98 N s

Therefore, impulse = 1.98 N s

2

force × time = change in momentum

(mv) = 420 N × 0.01 s = 4.2 N s

3

The change in momentum in both cases will be the same. However, if you move your hands back as you catch the ball, you increase the time that the change in momentum occurs over and so decrease the force required to stop the ball. This means that the ball does not hit your hands as hard as it would do if you just caught it without moving your hands.
