Question 4
A particle P of mass 0.4 kg is moving under the action of a single
force F newtons. At time t seconds, the velocity of P, v m s–1, is
given by
v = (6t + 4)i + (t2 + 3t)j.
When t = 0, P is at the point with position vector (–3i + 4j) m.
(a)
Calculate the magnitude of F when t = 4.
(4)
Using F = ma and the fact that the acceleration is differential
of the velocity vector.
v = (6t + 4)i + (t2 + 3t)j.
a = 6i + (2t + 3)j
When t = 4, a = 6i + 11j therefore F = 0.4 × (6i + 11j)
Magnitude of F =√(2.42 + 4.42) = 5.0
When t = 4, P is at the point S.

Question 5
A car of mass 1000 kg is towing a trailer of mass 1500 kg along a
straight horizontal road. The tow-bar joining the car to the
trailer is modelled as a light rod parallel to the road. The total
resistance to motion of the car is modelled as having constant
magnitude 750 N. The total resistance to motion of the trailer is
modelled as of magnitude R newtons, where R is a constant.
When the engine of the car is working at a rate of 50 kW, the
car and the trailer travel at a constant speed of 25 m s–1.
(a)
Show that R = 1250.

Power = Force × Velocity
Force = (50000/25) = 2000N
Constant velocity implies that F = 750 + R
Therefore R = 1250N
When travelling at 25 m s–1 the driver of the car disengages the
engine and applies the brakes. The brakes provide a constant
braking force of magnitude 1500 N to the car. The resisting
forces of magnitude 750 N and 1250 N are assumed to remain
unchanged.
Calculate

When travelling at 25 m s–1 the driver of the car disengages the
engine and applies the brakes. The brakes provide a constant
braking force of magnitude 1500 N to the car. The resisting
forces of magnitude 750 N and 1250 N are assumed to remain
unchanged.

(2)
When travelling at 25 m s–1 the driver of the car disengages
the engine and applies the brakes. The brakes provide a
constant braking force of magnitude 1500 N to the car. The
resisting forces of magnitude 750 N and 1250 N are assumed
to remain unchanged.
Calculate
(d) the work done, in kJ, by the braking force in bringing the car
and the trailer to rest.
(4)
Using
v2  u2  2as
u = 25ms-1 a = -1.4ms-2 v = 0, therefore s =223.2m
Work done = force x distance
Work done = 1500 x 223.2 = 335KJ
When travelling at 25 m s–1 the driver of the car disengages the
engine and applies the brakes. The brakes provide a constant
braking force of magnitude 1500 N to the car. The resisting
forces of magnitude 750 N and 1250 N are assumed to remain
unchanged.
Calculate
(e) Suggest how the modelling assumption that the resistances to
motion are constant could be refined to be more realistic.
(1)
Resistance varies with respect to speed.
Question 6
A particle P of mass 3m is moving with speed 2u in a straight line on a
smooth horizontal table. The particle P collides with a particle Q of
mass 2m moving with speed u in the opposite direction to P. The
coefficient of restitution between P and Q is e.
(a)
Show that the speed of Q after the collision is 0.2u(9e + 4).
Remember to always draw a diagram

By conservation of momentum

Q 2m
6mu – 2mu = 3mv1 + 2mv2
4u = 3v1 + 2v2
(1)
Coefficient of restitution = speed of separation/speed of approach
Therefore
Sub (2) into (1)
3eu = v2 - v1
and
4u = 3v2 - 9eu +2v2
v1 = v2 - 3eu
(2)
Hence v2 = 0.2u(9e+ 4)
As a result of the collision, the direction of motion of P is
reversed.
(b)
Find the range of possible values of e.
From a)
v2 = 0.2u(9e+ 4)
Therefore
v1 = 0.2u(9e+4) - 3eu
and
Hence v1 = 0.4u(2 – 3e)
But v1<0
Therefore (2 – 3e) < 0
So e>(2/3) and e<1
v1 = v2 - 3eu
(5)
Given that the magnitude of the impulse of P on Q is 6.4mu,
(c) find the value of e.
(4)
Impulse = change in momentum
6.4mu = 2m(0.2u(9e+4) +u)
6.4u = 3.6eu + 1.6u + 2u
2.8 = 3.6e
e=7/9
Question 7
A particle P is projected from a point A with speed 32 m s–1
at an angle of elevation  , where sin  = 3/5
The point O is on horizontal ground, with O vertically below
A and OA = 20 m. The particle P moves freely under gravity
and passes through a point B, which is 16 m above ground,
before reaching the ground at the point C, as shown above.
Calculate

(b) the distance OC,
Horizontal component of velocity = vcosα =25.6ms-1
Distance = speed ×time = 25.6 × 4.77
= 122m
(3)
Calculate
(c) the speed of P at B,
Using v2  u2  2as
(4)
Where s = -4, a = -9.8 and u = 19.2
Vertical component of velocity = 21.14ms-1
Horizontal component remains constant = 25.6ms-1
Therefore by Pythagoras speed = 33.2ms-1
Calculate
(d) the angle that the velocity of P at B makes with the horizontal.
