position vectors are given relative to a fixed origin O.]

DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA

At time t  =  0, a bird A leaves its nest, that is located at the point with position vector
(20i  –  17j) m, and flies with constant velocity (–6i  +  7j) m s–1. At the same time a second
bird B leaves its nest which is located at the point with position vector (–8i  +  9j) m and
flies with constant velocity ( pi  +  2pj) m s–1, where p is a constant. At time t  =  4 s, bird B is
south west of bird A.

7. A force F is given by F = (9i + 13j) N.

(a) Find the size of the angle between the direction of F and the vector j.
(3)

The force F is the resultant of two forces P and Q. The line of action of P is parallel to
the vector (2i – j). The line of action of Q is parallel to the vector (i + 3j).

(b) Find, in terms of i and j,

(i) the force P,

(ii) the force Q.

Notes

M1 for tan  = 9/13 or 13/9

First A1 for a correct equation (allowing for a correct adjustment to their angle in the subsequent
7. (a)
working)
Second A1 for  = 35o or better or 325o or better

First M1 for P + Q = 9i + 13j or P + Q = F (can occur anywhere)

First A2; Treat as B1 for a(2i – j) seen or implied; B1 for b(i + 3j) seen or implied. If they use the
same a and b, they lose one of the B marks.
Second M1 for equating their i- cpts and their j- cpts to produce two equations in two unknowns
Third independent M1 for eliminating one unknown from 2 simultaneous equations
(b) Third A1 for a = 2 oe
Fourth A1 for b = 5 oe
Fifth A1 for P  (4i  2 j) (N)
Sixth A1 for Q = (5i +15 j) (N)
N.B. Can score all the marks if they ‘spot’ the answers.
