Mathematics Mechanics 1 9709: KINEMATICS OF MOTION IN A STRAIGHT LINE Topical Past Paper Questions

Two particles A and B have masses mkg and kmkg respectively, where k > 1. The particles are attached to the ends of a light inextensible string. The string passes over a fixed smooth pulley and the particles hang vertically below it. Both particles are at a height of 0.81 m above…

Two particles P and Q, of masses 0.3 kg and 0.5 kg respectively, are attached to the ends of a light inextensible string. The string passes over a fixed smooth pulley with the particles hanging freely below it. Q is held at rest with the string taut at a height of h m above a hor…

A particle P moves in a straight line starting from a point O. At time t s after leaving O, the velocity, $ \nu $ m s $ ^{-1} $, of P is given by $ \nu = (2t - 5)^3 $. (i) Find the values of t when the acceleration of P is $ 54 \, m s^{-2} $. [3] [1] (ii) Find an expression for t…
