A crate is being pushed in a straight line along a horizontal surface by a force of magnitude 25 N inclined at 20° above the horizontal. The crate moves a distance of 12 m in 8 seconds with constant speed.
Find the constant speed of the crate.
Find the work done by the 25 N force.
Find the power at which the 25 N force is working. [1] bTTTTuTTTTTTTsb
Two particles P and Q, of masses 0.2 kg and 0.1 kg respectively, are free to move in a straight line on a smooth horizontal plane. P is projected towards Q with speed .ms5 At the same instant, Q is projected away from P with speed .ms2 When P collides with Q, the particles coalesce. Find the kinetic ener gy lost during the collision. [4] bTTTTuTTTTTTT b 2.4 m 2.6 m 35 N A particle P of mass m kg is attached to one end of a light inextensible string of length 2.6 m. The other end of the string is attached to a fixed point on a horizontal ceiling, and the string is taut. The particle is held in equilibrium by a force of magnitude 35 N, acting in a vertical plane which is perpendicular to the ceiling and contains the string. The force acts in a direction perpendicular to the string (see Find, in either order , the value of m and the value of T. [4] bTTTTuTTTTTTTdb
A car is travelling along a straight horizontal road. The car passes through a point A, on the road travelling at a speed of ms15 , and then accelerates uniformly at .ms04 for 30 seconds. The car then moves at constant speed for 3T seconds, where T301. The car then decelerates uniformly at .ms02 and after a further T seconds passes through a point B on the road.
On the given axes, sketch a velocity-time graph for the motion of the car between points A and B. [2] v (m s t
The distance from A to B is 2750 m.
Find the value of T. [6] bTTTTuTTTTTTTob The car continues its journey from B, decelerating uniformly at .ms05 until it comes to rest at a point C on the road.
Find the total distance from A to C. [3] bTTTTuTTTTTTTcb 5 kg 4 kg 3 kg30° One end of a light inextensible string is attached to a particle A of mass 3 kg. The other end of the string is attached to a particle B of mass 4 kg. Particle A is in contact with a rough plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal, and particle B is in contact with a smooth horizontal plane. A second light inextensible string is attached to B. The other end of this second string is attached to a particle C of mass 5 kg which hangs vertically. Both strings are taut and pass over small smooth pulleys that are fixed at the ends of the horizontal plane. The part of the string from A to the pulley is parallel to a line of greatest slope of the inclined plane, and A, B and C are in the same vertical plane (see diagram). The system is released from rest. In the subsequent motion, C moves vertically downwards with acceleration ms2 , and neither A nor B reach a pulley .
Find the tensions in each of the strings. [3] bTTTTuTTTTTTTub
Find the coefficient of friction between A and the inclined plane. [4] When the system has been in motion for 1.5 s, the string attached to A breaks.
Find the total distance that A travels up the plane from the instant that the system is released from rest to the instant that A comes to instantaneous rest. [5] bTTTTuTTTTTTTmb
A particle P moves in a straight line and passes through the point A at time t0=. The velocity msv of P at time t seconds is given by ()vt t21 2 =+ -, where t03GG.
Find the maximum velocity of P in the interval t03GG. [5] bTTTTuTTTTTThTb It is given that in the interval t03GG the velocity of P is always positive.

A particle P of mass 3 kg is projected with a speed of ms8 up a line of greatest slope of a rough plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal. P is projected from a point A on the plane and comes to instantaneous rest at a point B on the plane. P then slides back down the plane. The coefficient of friction between P and the plane is 3 Using an energy method throughout, find the speed of P at the instant it returns to A.
