Fig. 7.1 Shows A Toy Helicopter. It Can Hover and Travel Through The Air

1. The document describes the path taken by a toy helicopter on a journey from point A to point B to point C and finally to point D. 2. It provides a scale drawing of the path viewed from above, showing the distances between points. 3. It asks questions about calculating the total distance travelled, average speed, displacement sizes and directions, and definitions of distance, displacement and velocity. 4. It also asks about the forces and acceleration acting on the helicopter as it falls from point D and reaches terminal velocity after its motor fails.

1 Fig. 7.1 shows a toy helicopter. It can hover and travel through the air.

Fig. 7.1

A student flies the toy helicopter on a journey from A to B to C to D at a constant height.

Fig. 7.2 is a scale drawing of the path of the helicopter, viewed from above.

Fig. 7.2 (to scale)

(a) (i) Determine the total distance travelled by the toy helicopter.

..................................................................................................................................... [1]

(ii) The toy helicopter makes the journey in 40 s.

Calculate its average speed during the journey.

speed = ......................................................... [2]

(b) (i) State the difference between distance and displacement.

...........................................................................................................................................

..................................................................................................................................... [1]

(ii) Determine the scale used to construct Fig. 7.2 and complete the sentence.

1 cm on the diagram represents .............................. on the path. [1]

(iii) Using Fig. 7.2, determine the size of the displacement of point D from point A.

Show your working.

size of displacement = ......................................................... [2]

(iv) Determine the angle between North and the direction of the displacement of point D from
point A.

angle = ......................................................... [1]

(v) State what is meant by velocity.

..................................................................................................................................... [1]

(vi) Another toy helicopter flies directly from point A to point D in 40 s.

Explain why the magnitude of the velocity of this toy helicopter is smaller than the answer
in (a)(ii).

(c) When the toy helicopter hovers at D, its motor fails and it falls. It reaches terminal velocity as
it falls.

Explain, in terms of the forces and acceleration, what happens as the helicopter falls and
reaches terminal velocity.
