Q:1/1/1/

1. The point A is 1.8 m vertically above horizontal ground.
At time t = 0, a small stone is projected vertically upwards with speed U m s−1 from the
point A.
At time t = T seconds, the stone hits the ground.
The speed of the stone as it hits the ground is 10 m s−1
In an initial model of the motion of the stone as it moves from A to where it hits
the ground
• the stone is modelled as a particle moving freely under gravity
• the acceleration due to gravity is modelled as having magnitude 10 m s−2

Using the model,

(a) find the value of U,
(3)
(b) find the value of T.
(2)
(c) Suggest one refinement, apart from including air resistance, that would make the
model more realistic.
(1)
In reality the stone will not move freely under gravity and will be subject to air resistance.
(d) Explain how this would affect your answer to part (a).

2. A train travels along a straight horizontal track from station P to station Q.
In a model of the motion of the train, at time t = 0 the train starts from rest at P, and
moves with constant acceleration until it reaches its maximum speed of 25 m s−1
The train then travels at this constant speed of 25 m s−1 before finally moving with
constant deceleration until it comes to rest at Q.
The time spent decelerating is four times the time spent accelerating.
The journey from P to Q takes 700 s.
Using the model,
(a) sketch a speed-time graph for the motion of the train between the two stations P and Q.
(1)
The distance between the two stations is 15 km.
Using the model,
(b) show that the time spent accelerating by the train is 40 s,
(3)
(c) find the acceleration, in m s−2, of the train,
(1)
(d) find the speed of the train 572 s after leaving P.
(2)
(e) State one limitation of the model which could affect your answers to parts (b) and (c).

The lift cage has mass 40 kg and carries a block of mass 10 kg, as shown in Figure 1.
The lift cage is raised vertically by moving the end P of the rope vertically upwards
with constant acceleration 0.2 m s−2
The rope is modelled as being light and inextensible and air resistance is ignored.
Using the model,
(a) find the tension in the rope PQ
