K.C.S.E Physics Q & A - MODEL 1998PP2QN03

a) A gun is fired vertically upwards from the top of 2 open truck moving horizontally at a uniform velocity of 50ms^-1. The bullet achieves a maximum height of 45m. State with reason whether or not the bullet will land on the truck.
(i) Calculate the distance covered by the truck just before the bullet reaches the level from which it was fired. (Use g =10 ms^-2)
b) Figure 2 shows a set-up that may be used to verify Boyle's law.

i) Describe the measurements that should be taken in the experiment
ii) Explain how the measurements taken in (i) above may be used to verify Boyle's law.
