(Solved)
The figure below shows the cross-section of a ripple tank full of water. a piece of cork floats
on the surface of water and a straight edge vibrator placed at shallow end A to generate waves that travel to deep end B.
i. Name the type of wave generated on the water surface.
ii. The cork is observed to stay put despite passing water waves. Explain this observation.
iii. It was estimated that successive waves pass the cork every 0.25 seconds. If the speed of the waves is 0.28m/s, determine
the frequency and wave length of the waves at that point.
iv. Sketch the wavelength as viewed from a point above the ripple tank.

(Solved)
The figure below shows a rectangular block of wood attached to a spring balance being pulled gently by a pulling force P at a steady velocity.
i. A graph of pulling force against time was drawn as shown below.
I. State the forces FA and FB.
II. From the graph, state what happens to the block of wood between point P and Q. (1mk)
ii. Given that the wooden box has a mass of 2.0kg and requires force of 5N to pull it with uniform speed along a horizontal surface, calculate the coefficient of friction between the surface and the block. Take (g = 10N/kg).
