A-level PHYSICS Paper 3 Section B Engineering physics Time allowed: The total time for both sections of this paper is 2 hours. You are advised to spend approximately 50 minutes on this section. 2 *02* IB/M/Jun21/7408/3BC Section B Answer all questions in this section. 0 1 A gymnast dismounts from an exercise in which he swings on a high bar. The gymnast rotates in the air before landing. Figure 1 shows the gymnast in three positions during the dismount. Figure 1 The arrows show the direction of rotation of the gymnast. In position 1 the gymnast has just let go of the bar. His body is fully extended. Position 2 shows the rotating gymnast a short time later. His knees have been brought close to his chest into a ‘tuck’. Position 3 is at the end of the dismount as the gymnast lands on the mat. His body is once again fully extended. Do not write outside the box 3 *03* Turn over ► IB/M/Jun21/7408/3BC Do not write outside the box 0 1 . 1 Explain why the moment of inertia about the axis of rotation decreases when his knees are moved towards his chest. Go on to explain the effect this has on his angular speed. [3 marks] Table 1 gives some data about the gymnast in position 1 and in position 2. Table 1 Position Moment of inertia / kg m2 Angular speed / rad s−1 1 13.5 ω 2 4.1 14.2 0 1 . 2 Calculate the angular speed ω of the gymnast in position 1. [1 mark] ω = rad s−1 Question 1 continues on the next page 4 *04* IB/M/Jun21/7408/3BC Do not write outside the box 0 1 . 3 The gymnast stays in the tuck for 1.2 s. Determine the number of complete rotations performed by the gymnast when in the tuck during the dismount. [2 marks] number of complete rotations = 0 1 . 4 The gymnast repeats the exercise. The height of the bar remains unchanged. State and explain two actions the gymnast can take to complete more rotations during the dismount. [4 marks] [Show More]
