Candidates may use any calculator allowed by Pearson regulations.
Calculators must not have the facility for symbolic algebra
retrievable
manipulation, differentiation and integration, or have
mathematical formulae stored in them.
Instructions
Use blackink or ball-point pen.
If pencil is used for diagrams/sketches/graphs it must be dark (HB B).
or

Fill in the boxes at the top of this page with your name
centre number and candidate number.
Answer all questions and ensure that your answers to parts of questions
are clearly labelled.
Answer the questions in the spaces provided
- there may be more space than you need.
You should show sufficient working to make your methods clear.
Answers without working may not gain full credit.
Unless otherwise indicated, wherever a value of g is required, take g =9.8 ms2
and give your answer to either 2 significant figures or 3 significant figures.
Information
A booklet Mathematical Formulae and Statistical Tables' is provided.
The total mark for this part of the examination is 30. There are 3 questions.
The marks for each question are shown in brackets
-use this as a guide as to how much time to spend on each question.
Advice
Read each question carefully before you start to answer it.
Try to answer every question.
Check your answers if you have time at the end.

1. At time t= 0, a small ball is projected vertically upwards with speed Ums-' from a
point A that is 16.8 m above horizontal ground.

The speed of the ball at the instant immediately before it hits the ground for the first time
is 19ms

The ball hits the ground for the first time at time t= T'seconds.

The motion of the ball, from the instant it is projected until the instant just before it hits
the ground for the first time, is modelled as that of a particle moving frecly under gravity.

The acceleration due to gravity is modelled as having magnitude 10ms2

Using the model,

(a) show that U= 5

(2)
(b) find the value of 7,
(2)
(c) find the time from the instant the ball is projected until the instant when the ball is
1.2m below A.
(4)
(d) Sketch a velocity-time graph for the motion of the ball for 0 t T, stating the
coordinates of the start point and the end point of your graph.
(2)
In a refinement of the model of the motion of the ball, the effect of air resistance on the
ball is included and this refined model is now used to find the value of U.

(e) State, with a reason, how this new value of U would compare with the value found in
part (a), using the initial unrefined model.
(1)
( Suggest one further refinement that could be made to the model, apart from including
air resistance, that would make the model more realistic.

Figure 1

One end of a string is attached to a small ball P of mass 4m.

The other end of the string is attached to another small ball Q of mass 3m.

The string passes over a fixed pulley.

Ball P is held at rest with the string taut and the hanging parts of the string vertical, as
shown in Figure 1.

Ball P is released.

The string is modelled as being light and inextensible, the balls are modelled as particles,
thepulley is modelled as being smooth and air resistance is ignored.
(a) Using the model, find, in terms of m and g, the magnitude of the force exerted on the
pulley by the string while P is falling and before Q hits the pulley
(8)
(b) State one limitation of the model, apart from ignoring air resistance, that will afect
the accuracy of your answer to part (a).
