Notes for some specific questions:

1 – Ans: B. Both vectors in A and both scalars in C and D.

2 - Ans: B. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 520 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 101 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2015/04/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-101.html}

3 – Ans: A. Cannot be C since the 2 forces are not equal, so the angle of the resultant cannot be 45 degrees.

5 - Ans: C. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 834 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 166 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2015/06/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-166.html}

7 – Ans: D.
The diagram shows an arrangement to stop trains that are travelling too fast.     Trains coming from the left travel at a speed of 50 m s-1.

8 - Ans: B.

A ball is released from rest above a horizontal surface and bounces several times.

The graph shows how,for this ball, a quantity y varies with time.

9 – Ans: D. 

A strong wind of speed33 m s-1 blows against a wall. The density of the air is1.2 kg m-3. The wall has an area of 12 m2 at right angles to the wind velocity.



11 - Ans: D. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 829 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 165 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2015/06/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-165.html}

12 – Ans: A. Weight is always downward. Since the vehicle is at rest, only the weight will have a component along the slope that will cause the vehicle to go downwards. So, friction, a force which opposes motion would be in a direction opposite to the component of the weight along the slope such that the vertical component of friction would be in a direction opposite to the weight (upward). The normal reaction will be opposite to the other component of the weight.

13 – Ans: B.

All external forces on a body cancel out. Which statement must be correct?

14 – Ans: D. {Detailed explanations for this question is available as Solution 451 at Physics 9702 Doubts | Help Page 87 - http://physics-ref.blogspot.com/2015/03/physics-9702-doubts-help-page-87.html}
