1

A particle is projected vertically upwards from horizontal ground with a speed of u m s−1. The particle has height s m above the ground at times 3 seconds and 4 seconds after projection. Find the value of u and the value of s.

A machine for driving a nail into a block of wood causes a hammerhead to drop vertically onto the top of a nail. The mass of the hammerhead is 1.2 kg and the mass of the nail is 0.004 kg (see diagram). The hammerhead hits the nail with speed v m s−1 and remains in contact with the nail after the impact. The combined hammerhead and nail move immediately after the impact with speed 40 m s−1.

Figure 1 of 1 for question 2
(a)

Calculate v, giving your answer as an exact fraction.

[2]
(b)

The nail is driven 4 cm into the wood. Find the constant force resisting the motion.

[3]
3

A block of mass 8 kg slides down a rough plane inclined at 30∘ to the horizontal, starting from rest. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is μ. The block accelerates uniformly down the plane at 2.4 m s−2.

(a)

Draw a diagram showing the forces acting on the block.

[1]
(b)

Find the value of μ.

[4]
(c)

Find the speed of the block after it has moved 3 m down the plane.

A car has mass 1600 kg.

(a)

The car is moving along a straight horizontal road at a constant speed of 24 m s−1 and is subject to a constant resistance of magnitude $480 N. Find, in kW, the rate at which the engine of the car is working.

[2]
(b)

The car now moves down a hill inclined at an angle of θ to the horizontal, where sin⁡θ=0.09. The engine of the car is working at a constant rate of 12 kW. The speed of the car is 24 m s−1 at the top of the hill. Ten seconds later the car has travelled 280 m down the hill and has speed 32 m s−1. Given that the resistance is not constant, use an energy method to find the total work done against the resistance during the ten seconds.

[5]
5

A light string AB is fixed at A and has a particle of weight 80 N attached at B. A horizontal force of magnitude P N is applied at B such that the string makes an angle θ∘ to the vertical (see diagram).

Figure 1 of 1 for question 5
(a)

It is given that P=32 and the system is in equilibrium. Find the tension in the string and the value of θ.

[4]
(b)

It is given instead that the tension in the string is 120 N and that the particle attached at B still has weight $80 N. Find the value of P and the value of θ.

[4]
6

A particle moves in a straight line. At time t s, the acceleration, a m s−2, of the particle is given by a=36−6t. The velocity of the particle is 27 m s−1 when t=2.

(a)

Find the values of t when the particle is at instantaneous rest.

[4]
(b)

Find the total distance the particle travels during the first 12 seconds.

[4]
7

Particles A and B, of masses 2.4 kg and 3.3 kg respectively, are connected by a light inextensible string that passes over a smooth pulley which is fixed to the top of a rough plane. The plane makes an angle of θ∘ with horizontal ground. Particle A is on the plane and the section of the string between A and the pulley is parallel to a line of greatest slope of the plane. Particle B hangs vertically below the pulley and is 1 m above the ground (see diagram). The coefficient of friction between the plane and A is μ.

Figure 1 of 1 for question 7
(a)

It is given that θ=30 and the system is in equilibrium with A on the point of moving directly up the plane. Show that μ=1.01 correct to 3 significant figures.

[5]
(b)

It is given instead that θ=20 and μ=1.01. The system is released from rest with the string taut. Find the total distance travelled by A before coming to instantaneous rest. You may assume that A does not reach the pulley and that B remains at rest after it hits the ground.
