Year 12 Homework Assignment 27.

1
1)A stone is thrown vertically upwards with speed 12 m s–1 from a point h metres above the ground.
The stone hits the ground 5 s later. Find
(a) the value of h, (3)
(b) the speed of the stone as it hits the ground. (3)

2) A car moves along a horizontal straight road, passing two points A and B. At A the speed of the car
is 15 m s–1. When the driver passes A, he sees a warning sign W ahead of him, 120 m away. He
immediately applies the brakes and the car decelerates with uniform deceleration, reaching W with
speed 5 m s–1. At W, the driver sees that the road is clear. He then immediately accelerates the car with
uniform acceleration for 16 s to reach a speed of V m s–1 (V > 15). He then maintains the car at a
constant speed of V m s–1. Moving at this constant speed, the car passes B after a further 22 s.
(a) Sketch, in the space below, a speed-time graph to illustrate the motion of the car as it moves from
A to B. (3)
(b) Find the time taken for the car to move from A to B. (3)
The distance from A to B is 1 km.
(c) Find the value of V. (5)

3) A particle P of mass 0.3 kg moves under the action of a single constant force F newtons. The
acceleration of P is (8i + 6j) m s–2 . Find
(a) the angle between the acceleration and j, (2)
(b) the magnitude of F. (3)
At time t seconds the velocity of P is v m s–1 . Given that when t = 0, v = 10i – 9j,
(c) find the velocity of P when t = 4. (3)

4) A particle of weight 28 N is held in equilibrium by


two light inextensible strings. One string is horizontal. PN
The other string is inclined at an angle of 20° to the
QN 20°
horizontal, as shown in Figure 1. The tension in the
horizontal string is Q newtons and the tension in the
other string is P newtons. Find
(a) the value of P, (3) (b) the value of Q, (3)

5)A small box of mass 15 kg rests on a rough horizontal


plane. The coefficient of friction between the box and the
plane is 0.3 . A force of magnitude P newtons is applied to
the box at 50° to the horizontal, as shown.
The box is on the point of sliding along the plane.
Find the value of P, giving your answer to 2 significant
figures.

6) A boat B is moving with constant velocity.
At noon, B is at the point with position vector (3i – 4j) km with respect to a fixed origin O.
At 1400 on the same day, B is at the point with position vector (7i + 8j) km.
(a) Find the velocity of B, giving your answer in the form pi + qj. (3)
At time t hours after noon, the position vector of B is b km.
(b) Find, in terms of t, an expression for b. (3)
Another boat C is also moving with constant velocity. The position vector of C, c km, at time t hours
after noon, is given by c = (–5i + 8j) + t(4i + λj), where λ is a constant.
Given that C intercepts B,
(c) find the value of λ (5)
(d) Before C intercepts B, calculate which boat has the greater speed. (3)
7) The box plot shows a summary of the weights of the luggage for each musician in an orchestra
on an overseas tour.

The airline’s recommended weight limit for each musician’s luggage was 45 kg.
Given that none of the musician’s luggage weighed exactly 45 kg,
(a)state the proportion of the musicians whose luggage was below the recommended weight limit.
(1)
A quarter of the musicians had to pay a charge for taking heavy luggage.
(b) State the smallest weight for which the charge was made. (1)
(c) Explain what you understand by the + on the box plot in Figure 1, and suggest an instrument
that the owner of this luggage might play. (2)

8) A teacher recorded, to the nearest hour, the time spent watching television during a particular
week by each child in a random sample. The times were summarised in a grouped frequency table
and represented by a histogram.
One of the classes in the grouped frequency table was 20–29 and its associated frequency was 6.
On the histogram the height of the rectangle for that class was 3.6 cm and the width was 2 cm.
(a) Give a reason to support the use of a histogram to represent these data. (1)
(b) Write down the underlying feature associated with each of the bars in a histogram. (1)
The total area under the histogram was 24 cm2.
(c) Find the total number of children in the group. (2)

9) Figure 2 shows a histogram for the variable


t which represents the time taken, in minutes,
by a group of people to swim 500 m.
(a) What are the values of p and q the
frequency table for t.

t 5 – 10 10 – 14 14 – 18 18 – 25 25 – 40

Frequency 10 16 24 p q
(2)
(b) Estimate the number of people who took longer than 20 minutes to swim 500 m. (2)
(c) Find an estimate of the mean time taken. (4)
(d) Find an estimate for the standard deviation of t. (3)
(e) Find the median and quartiles for t. (4)
