6 2. A small stone is projected vertically upwards with speed 39.2 m s –1 from a point O. The stone is modelled as a particle moving freely under gravity from when it is projected until it hits the ground 10 s later. Using the model, find (a) the height of O above the ground, (3) (b) the total length of time for which the speed of the stone is less than or equal to 24.5 m s –1 (3) (c) State one refinement that could be made to the model that would make your answer to part (a) more accurate.

In this question you must show all stages of your working. Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable. A fixed point O lies on a straight line. A particle P moves along the straight line such that at time t seconds, t 0, after passing through O, the velocity of P, v m s –1, is modelled as v = 15 – t 2 – 2t (a) Verify that P comes to instantaneous rest when t = 3 (1) (b) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of P when t = 3 (3) (c) Find the total distance travelled by P in the interval 0 t 4 (4)

The rope is horizontal and parallel to the direction of motion of the car. • The resistance to motion of the car is modelled as a constant force of magnitude 2R newtons • The resistance to motion of the trailer is modelled as a constant force of magnitude R newtons • The rope is modelled as being light and inextensible • The acceleration of the car is modelled as a m s –2 The driving force of the engine of the car is 7400 N and the tension in the tow rope is 2400 N. Using the model, (a) find the value of a (5) In a refined model, the rope is modelled as having mass and the acceleration of the car is found to be a1 m s –2 (b) State how the value of a1 compares with the value of a (1) (c) State one limitation of the model used for the resistance to motion of the car.
