INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES Write your name clearly in capital letters, your Centre Number and Candidate Number in the spaces provided on the Answer Booklet. Use black ink. Pencil may be used for graphs and diagrams only. Read each question carefully and make sure that you know what you have to do before starting your answer. Answer all the questions. Do not write in the bar codes. Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 signicant gures unless a different degree of accuracy is specied in the question or is clearly appropriate. The acceleration due to gravity is denoted by g m s2 . Unless otherwise instructed, when a numerical value is needed, use g = 9.8. You are permitted to use a graphical calculator in this paper.

INFORMATION FOR CANDIDATES The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers. The total number of marks for this paper is 72. This document consists of 4 pages. Any blank pages are indicated.

A particle P is projected vertically downwards from a xed point O with initial speed 4.2 m s1 , and takes 1.5 s to reach the ground. Calculate
(i) the speed of P when it reaches the ground, (ii) the height of O above the ground, (iii) the speed of P when it is 5 m above the ground. [2] [2] [2]

Two horizontal forces of magnitudes 12 N and 19 N act at a point. Given that the angle between the two forces is 60 , calculate
(i) the magnitude of the resultant force, (ii) the angle between the resultant and the 12 N force. [5] [3]

Three particles P, Q and R, are travelling in the same direction in the same straight line on a smooth horizontal surface. P has mass m kg and speed 9 m s1 , Q has mass 0.8 kg and speed 2 m s1 and R has mass 0.4 kg and speed 2.75 m s1 (see diagram).
(i) A collision occurs between P and Q, after which P and Q move in opposite directions, each with speed 3.5 m s1 . Calculate (a) the value of m, (b) the change in the momentum of P. (ii) When Q collides with R the two particles coalesce. Find their subsequent common speed. [4] [2] [3]

Particles P and Q, of masses 0.4 kg and 0.3 kg respectively, are attached to the ends of a light inextensible string. The string passes over a smooth xed pulley and the sections of the string not in contact with the pulley are vertical. P rests in limiting equilibrium on a plane inclined at 60 to the horizontal (see diagram).
(i) (a) Calculate the components, parallel and perpendicular to the plane, of the contact force exerted by the plane on P. [4] (b) Find the coefcient of friction between P and the plane. [2]

P is held stationary and a particle of mass 0.2 kg is attached to Q. With the string taut, P is released from rest.
(ii) Calculate the tension in the string and the acceleration of the particles. [4]

The (t, v) diagram represents the motion of two cyclists A and B who are travelling along a horizontal straight road. At time t = 0, A, who cycles with constant speed 8 m s1 , overtakes B who has initial speed 3 m s1 . From time t = 0 B cycles with constant acceleration for 20 s. When t = 20 her speed is 11 m s1 , which she subsequently maintains.
(i) Find the value of t when A and B have the same speed. (ii) Calculate the value of t when B overtakes A. [3] [5]

(iii) On a single diagram, sketch the (t, x) graphs for the two cyclists for the time from t = 0 until after B has overtaken A. [3]

A swimmer C swims with velocity v m s1 in a swimming pool. At time t s after starting, v = 0.006t2 0.18t + k, where k is a constant. C swims from one end of the pool to the other in 28.4 s.
(i) Find the acceleration of C in terms of t. (ii) Given that the minimum speed of C is 0.65 m s1 , show that k = 2. (iii) Express the distance travelled by C in terms of t, and calculate the length of the pool. [2] [5] [5]

A winch drags a log of mass 600 kg up a slope inclined at 10 to the horizontal by means of an inextensible cable of negligible mass parallel to the slope (see diagram). The coefcient of friction between the log and the slope is 0.15, and the log is initially at rest at the foot of the slope. The acceleration of the log is 0.11 m s2 .
(i) Calculate the tension in the cable. [5]

The cable suddenly breaks after dragging the log a distance of 10 m.
