Name Class Date

A diver is using a ‘diver propulsion vehicle’ that is producing a forwards force of 100 N, and
she is also producing a forwards force of 30 N from her flippers.

Other forces on her are 85 N upthrust, 900 N weight and 50 N drag.

1 Think about the horizontal forces on the diver.

a What is the resultant forwards force? ____________________________________

b What is the overall resultant force in the horizontal direction?

____________________________________________________________________

2 What is the resultant force in the vertical direction?

____________________________________________________________________

3 Draw a diagram of the diver and add force arrows to show the two resultant forces.
Remember that:

• force arrows show the direction and relative sizes of forces, so the two arrows you
draw should be of different lengths
• your sketch of the diver can be a stick-figure, it does not have to be a detailed
drawing.

4 The diagram shows the path of a satellite
around the Earth.

a Explain why we can say that the velocity


of the satellite is changing even though it
is moving at a constant speed.

b Draw arrows on the diagram to show the force(s) acting on the satellite.

5 Three people are pushing a car. Each person pushes with a force of 200 N. Friction
forces cause a force of 50 N. What is the resultant force on the car?

6 An Ariane 5 rocket has a main engine and two booster engines.

The main engine produces a thrust of 960 kN and each of the boosters produces a
thrust of 7080 kN.

The weight of the rocket and boosters at take-off is 7700 kN.

a Calculate the resultant force on the rocket as it is taking off.

b Explain why the resultant force on the rocket will be greater 10 seconds after take-off.
