This Grade 11 Physics Study Guide has been compiled for educational purposes to assist
students in their understanding and preparation for physics assessments. While every
effort has been made to ensure the accuracy and appropriateness of the content, it is
important to acknowledge the following:
This guide includes questions that are inspired by and adapted from various sources,
including but not limited to textbooks, past papers, online resources, and other
educational materials. Some questions may be similar or identical to original questions
from these sources. Where possible, efforts have been made to rephrase and modify
questions to provide unique learning experiences. However, due to the nature of physics
problem-solving, some similarity in question structure and concept coverage is
unavoidable.

1. Identifying the Different Types of Forces
In each of the following scenarios, identify all the forces acting on the objects
discussed.
1. A child is pushing a toy car across a carpeted floor. The car is moving at a constant
speed.
2. A picture frame hangs motionless on a wall, suspended by two strings.
3. A block of wood is sliding down a rough ramp at a constant speed.
4. A charged balloon clings to a wall after being rubbed against someone's hair.
5. A person is trying to push a heavy box across a concrete floor, but the box doesn't
move.
6. A book is placed on an inclined plane. It remains stationary.
7. A sled is being pulled across a snowy surface by a rope at 30o above the surface.
The sled is accelerating.
8. A rubber ball is dropped to the floor. It bounces back up, but not to the same
height from which it was dropped. Focus on the moment the ball is in contact with
the floor.
9. A crate is being lowered vertically by a rope at a constant speed.
10. A positively charged dust particle is held motionless above a negatively charged
plate.
11. A skydiver is falling at a constant speed.
12. A car is parked on a hill.
13. A child is swinging on a swing at the highest point of their arc.
14. A hockey puck slides across the ice, gradually slowing down.
15. A person is pushing a heavy box at 15o above the surface across a carpeted floor,
and the box is accelerating.
16. A ball is thrown vertically upward and is at its peak height.
17. A person is pulling a wagon full of toys across a sidewalk.
18. A yo-yo is hanging motionless at the end of its string.
19. A rock is resting at the bottom of a well.
20. A waiter is carrying a tray of plates at a constant speed across the restaurant.

2. Force Diagrams
For each of the following scenarios draw a fully labelled force diagram to show all
the forces acting on the object:
1. A block of wood is sliding down a rough ramp at a constant speed.
2. A book is placed on an inclined plane. It remains stationary.
3. A charged balloon clings to a wall after being rubbed against someone's hair.
4. A 20 kg crate is at rest on a ramp inclined at 25° to the horizontal.
5. A child is pushing a toy car across a carpeted floor. The car is moving at a
constant speed.
6. A crate is being lowered vertically by a rope at a constant speed.
7. A 15 kg box is sliding down a rough ramp inclined at 35° to the horizontal.
8. A person is trying to push a heavy box across a concrete floor, but the box
doesn't move.
9. A picture frame hangs motionless on a wall, suspended by two strings.
10. A 35 kg object is sliding up a ramp inclined at 55° to the horizontal.
11. A positively charged dust particle is held motionless above a negatively charged
plate.
12. A rubber ball is dropped to the floor. It bounces back up, but not to the same
height from which it was dropped. Focus on the moment the ball is in contact
with the floor.
13. A 50 kg crate is at rest on a ramp inclined at 30° to the horizontal.
14. A sled is being pulled across a snowy surface by a rope at 30o above the
surface. The sled is accelerating.
15. A 100 kg block is sliding down a rough ramp inclined at 25° to the horizontal.
