    = 5.8 cos 30° = 4.85 m s–1 ≈ 4.9 m s–1[1]
    2 Using v = u + at[1] horizontal distance = speed × time [1]
    final velocity = 50 – 0.50 × 100 [1] = 4.85 × 0.57 = 2.77 m ≈ 2.8 m [1]
    = 0 [1]

    Train slows to rest and covers a distance of ii Air resistance [1]
    2500 m [1] Acts in the opposite direction to the
    velocity and so reduces the acceleration.[1]
    3 a Using s = ut + 12  at2[1]
    s = 20t + 0.5 × 9.8t2 = 20t + 4.9t2[1] 7 a i Ball travels upwards (or reverses direction)
    on bouncing. [1]
    b Substituting values of t in the equation gives
    [1] ii In both cases, the ball is accelerating due
    after 2.0 s, displacement = 20.4 m ≈ 20 m [1] to gravity only. [1]
    after 6.0 s, displacement = –56.4 m ≈ –56 m [1] iii Initial height of the ball above the ground.

    t = 4.9 position. or
    = 4.08 s ≈ 4.1 s [1] (Kinetic) energy is lost (as heat / internal
    energy) during the bounce. [1]

    ii v2 = 2 × 9.81 × 0.8 [1]
    b acceleration = change in speed
    time taken  [1] v = 3.96 m s–1 ≈ 4.0 m s–1[1]

    20 = 2.5 m s [1] iii v = u + at leading to 4.85 = –3.96 + a × 0.16[1]
    distance travelled a = 55.1 ≈ 55 m s–2[1]
    = average speed × time taken [1] upwards direction [1]
    (25 + 50)
    average speed = 2 = 37.5 m s [1] –1

    distance travelled = 37.5 × 20 = 750 m [1] 8 a Tangent drawn at t = 0.7 s and gradient of

    a = 0.8 (±0.2) m s [1]
    speed is 10 m s–1[1]
    so time required = 5010 = 5 s [1] b Acceleration is constant from t = 0
    –1 to about t = 0.5 s [1]
    d Consider car A: it travels at 40 m s for 25 s [1]
    Acceleration decreases from t = 0.5 s [1]
    total distance travelled 40 × 2.5 = 1000 m [1]
    Gradient constant from t = 0 to t = 0.5 s
    and decreases from t = 0.5 s [1]

    c Area under the graph used [1]


    Correct method, e.g. trapezium rule or
    squares counted [1]
    Distance = 0.20 ± 0.01 m [1]
    d Random errors – the points are either side
    of the line [1]
    Systematic errors – the whole line is shifted
    up or down [1]

    23.7 ≈ 24 m s–1[1]
    b t = vs = 23.7
    60 = 0.39 s [1]
    The reaction time is approximately 0.3 s, so
    the driver was alert. [1]

    c 100 km h = 60 × 60 = 27.8 m s ≈ 28 m s [1]
    The driver was not speeding, as the speed of
    24 m s–1 is less than the speed limit. [1]

    balloon is 15 m s–1[1]

    direction to the initial speed of the ball.

    downwards and the ball initially rises. [1]
