(i) (ii)Diagram 1.1

Diagram 1.1(i) shows the condition of a car moving at high velocity when it suddenly crashes into a wall.Diagram 1.1(ii) shows a tennis ball hit with racquet by a player. a) (i) What is the meaning of momentum?

(ii) Based on the observations of Diagram (i) and (ii), compare the characteristics of car when it crashes into the wall and the tennis ball when

57


it is hit with a racquet. Hence, relate these characteristics to clarify a physics concept, and name this concept.

b) Explain why a tennis player uses a taut racquet when playing.

c) In launching a rocket, a few technical problems have to be overcome before the rocket can move upright to the sky. By using appropriate physics concepts, describe the design of a rocket and the launch techniques that can launch the rocket upright.

Answera) (i) momentum is product of mass and velocity

(ii) - The shape of car changed but the shape of wall remained.- The shape of ball remained but the shape of the racquet string was changed. (The racquet string is elastic but the wall is harder)- The time taken of collision between the ball and racquet string more than the time taken when the car hit the wall.

- The impulsive force will decrease when the time of collision increased.- The concept is the impulsive force.

b) - To decrease the time of collision between the ball and the racquet string.- Impulsive force will be increased.- The force act to the ball will be increased.- The velocity of ball will be increased.

c) - Make a gradually narrower at the front shape (tapering) : To decrease air friction

- Made by the high strength and high rigidity of materials: To decrease the probability to become dented (kemik).

- Made by the low density of material.: To reduce the mass/weight

- The structure is fractional engine : The mass will be decreased and the velocity will increase.

- Made by the high of heat capacity of materials: It will be high heat resistance.
