MCQ

A constant force of strength \( 20 \) \( \text{N} \) acts on an object of mass \( 3 \) \( \text{kg} \) as it moves a distance of \( 4 \) \( \text{m} \). If this force is applied \textit{perpendicular} to the \( 4 \) \( \text{m} \) displacement, the work done by the force is equal to:

A discus is held at the end of an arm that starts at rest. The average angular acceleration of [katex]54 \, \text{rad/s}^2 [/katex] lasts for 0.25 s. The path is circular and has radius 1.1 m.

Note: A discuss is a heavy, flattened circular object for throwing.

An object weighing 120 N is set on a rigid beam of negligible mass at a distance of 3 m from a pivot, as shown above. A vertical force is to be applied to the other end of the beam a distance of 4 m from the pivot to keep the beam at rest and horizontal. What is the magnitude F of the force required?

A spacecraft somewhere in between the earth and the moon experiences 0 net force acting on it. This is because the earth and the moon pull the spacecraft in equal but opposite directions. Find the distance D away from Earth, such that the spacecraft experiences zero net force. The distance between the Moon and Earth is ~3.844 x 108 m.

NOTE: You may need the mass of the earth and moon. You can find this in the formula table.

MCQ

Suppose an object is accelerated by a force of \( 100 \) \( \text{N} \). Suddenly a second force of \( 100 \) \( \text{N} \) in the opposite direction is exerted on the object, so that the forces cancel. The object
