Analysing Momentum
1. Diagram 1 shows a squid that is attacked by a fish. In case of emergency, a squid will
eject a stream of black fluid so that it can escape from its enemy.

Diagram 1

(a) In Diagram 3, draw and label the direction of the velocity of the black fluid
ejected by the squid, v1 and the recoil velocity of the squid, v2.

Analysing Forces in equilibrium

2. Diagram 2 shows a cargo ship is being towed by two towing boats using the same
force 1200 N each. The resultant force from the two boats causes the cargo ship to
move forward.

Understanding Elasticity
4. Diagram 4.1 shows two identical steel balls placed onto spring M and spring N. Both
springs are elastic and fixed to a horizontal surface. The springs are pushed down
until the length of spring M and spring N are the same.
Diagram 4.2 shows the maximum heights reached by the balls when the hands are
released.
[Assume spring M and spring N are of the same material, same coil diameter and
same original length]

a) Using Diagram 4.1 and Diagram 4.2, compare the thickness of the spring wire
and the maximum height reached by the balls.

Relate the thickness of the spring wire with the maximum height of the ball to
make a deduction regarding the relationship between thickness of the spring
wire and the elastic potential energy of the spring.
