Question 6 (9 marks)
A firework missile of mass 0 2 kg is projected vertically
upwards from rest by means of a force that decreases uniformly
in 2 seconds from 2g newtons to zero and thereafter ceases.
Assume no air resistance and that g is the acceleration due to
gravity.

If the missile has an acceleration of a m/s 2 at time t seconds,


show that

Question 7 (10 marks)


A particle of mass 1 kg is projected from a point O with a
velocity u m/s along a smooth horizontal table in a medium
whose resistance is Rv 2 newtons when the particle has velocity
v m/s. R is a constant, with R > 0.
(i)

Show that the equation of motion governing the particle is given


by

x = Rv 2

where x is the horizontal distance travelled from O.


(ii)

Hence show that the velocity, v m/s, after t seconds is given by

t=

1 1 1

Rv u

An equal particle is projected from O simultaneously with the


first particle, but vertically upwards with velocity u m/s in the
SAME medium.
(iii)

Show that the equation of motion governing the second particle


is given by

y = ( g + Rv 2 )

where g m/s 2 is the acceleration due to gravity and y represents


the vertical distance from O where the particle has a velocity of
v m/s.
(iv)

Hence show that the velocity V m/s of the first particle when the
second one is momentarily at rest is given by
