Question 1 (***+)
A smooth uniform sphere P is moving on a smooth horizontal plane when it collides
obliquely with an identical sphere Q which is at rest on the plane.

Immediately before the collision P is moving with speed u ms −1 in a direction which


makes an angle of 60° with the line joining the centres of the spheres.

The coefficient of restitution between the spheres is 7 − 4 3 .

a) Show clearly that after the collision P is moving at an angle of 75° with the
line joining the centres of the spheres. ( 8)
After the collision the respective speeds of P and Q are U ms −1 and V ms −1 .

( )
It is further given that u = 6 2 + 2 6 ms −1 .

b) Find the value of U . ( 4)

c) Show further that uV = 4U . (4)

Question 2 (***+)
A car of mass 1300 kg is travelling on a straight road which lies on the line of
greatest slope of a plane inclined at an angle θ to the horizontal, where sin θ = 1 .
10

The total non gravitational resistance experienced by the car is assumed to be a


constant force of magnitude of 400 N . The engine of the car is working at the
constant rate of 30 kW .

The car is passing through the point A with a speed 10 ms −1 and continues to
accelerate up the plane, passing through the point B with speed 30 ms −1 , 30 s after
passing through A .

By modelling the car as a particle, find …

a) … the acceleration of the car at A . ( 4)

b) ... the distance AB . (7)

Question 3 (****)
A smooth sphere P of mass m is moving with speed u on a smooth horizontal plane
when it collides directly with a smooth sphere Q of mass 3m , which is initially at
rest. The spheres are modelled as particles and the coefficient of restitution between
the two spheres is e .

a) Find, in terms of e and u , the speeds of the two spheres after their collision.
(7)
It is now given that P reverses direction as a result of the collision.

b) State the range of the possible values of e . ( 3)

After the collision, Q strikes at right angles a fixed smooth vertical wall, and
rebounds at right angles.

The coefficient of restitution between the Q and the wall is 2e .

c) Show that there will always be another collision between P and Q . ( 5)

Question 4 (***+)
Two smooth particles, A and B of respective masses 2m kg and 5m kg , are moving
in the same straight line and in opposite directions.

The motion takes place on a smooth horizontal surface.

The speeds of A and B are 8 ms −1 and 3 ms −1 , respectively.

There is a direct collision between A and B .

If, after the collision, the speed of one particle is twice as large as the speed of the
other particle determine the possible values of he speed of B , after the collision.

Question 5 (***+)
A particle P , of mass m , is attached to one end of a light elastic string of natural
length 0.5 m and modulus of elasticity 2mg . The other end of the string is attached
to a fixed point A on a rough horizontal surface.

P is held at a point B , where AB = 0.5 m and given a speed of 1.4 ms −1 in the


direction AB .

P comes at rest at the point C .

Determine whether this position of rest is instantaneous or permanent. (10 )

Question 6 (**+)
Two identical elastic strings AB and BC are fastened together at B . The natural
length and modulus of elasticity of each of the strings are a and 2mg , respectively.

The end A of the composite string is attached to a ceiling and the end C is attached
to a floor, so that ABC lies in a vertical line where AC = ka .

Finally a particle of mass m is attached to B so that when the particle is in


equilibrium BC = 7 a .

20 Ns

70°

The figure above shows the plan of the path of a ball of mass 0.2 kg , moving along
AB with constant speed 25 ms −1 .

At B the ball receives an impulse of magnitude 20 Ns in the direction BC , where


ABC = 70° , as shown in the figure.

The points A , B and C , which lie on the same horizontal plane and the ball is
modelled as a particle moving without any resistance, on the same horizontal level.

a) Find the speed of the ball after it receives the impulse. (6)

b) Determine the acute angle the speed of the ball makes with the line AB , after
it receives the impulse. ( 3)
