6 The gradient of a curve is given by the equation = 6x 2 - 20x + 6. The curve passes through the
dx
point (2, 6).

(a) Find the equation of the curve. [3]

(b) Verify that the equation of the curve can be written as y = 2 (x + 1) (x - 3) 2 . [2]

7 In this question the unit vectors i and j are directed east and north respectively.

A canal narrowboat of mass 9 tonnes is pulled by two ropes. The tensions in the ropes are
(450i + 20j) N and (420i - 20j) N. The boat experiences a resistance to motion R of magnitude
300 N.

(a) Explain what it means to model the boat as a particle. [1]

The boat is travelling in a straight line due east.

(b) Find the equation of motion of the boat. [2]

(c) Find the acceleration of the boat giving your answer as a vector. [1]

8 A team of volunteers donates cakes for sale at a charity stall. The number of cakes that can be sold
depends on the price. A model for this is y = 190 - 70x, where y cakes can be sold when the price
of a cake is £x.

(a) Find how many cakes could be given away for free according to this model. [1]

The number of volunteers who are willing to donate cakes goes up as the price goes up. If the cakes
sell for £1.20 they will donate 50 cakes, but if they sell for £2.40 they will donate 140 cakes. They
use the linear model y = mx + c to relate the number of cakes donated, y, to the price of a cake, £x.

(b) Find the values of the constants m and c for which this linear model fits the two data points.
[2]

(c) Explain why the model is not suitable for very low prices. [1]

(d) The team would like to sell all the cakes that they donate.

Find the set of possible prices that the cakes could have to achieve this. [3]

9 A tractor of mass 1800 kg uses a towbar to pull a trailer of mass 1000 kg on a level field. The tractor
and trailer experience resistances to motion of 1600 N and 800 N respectively. The tractor provides
a driving force of 6600 N.

(a) Draw a force diagram showing all the horizontal forces acting on the tractor and trailer. [2]

(b) Find the tension in the towbar. [4]

10 A triangle has vertices A (1, 4), B (7, 0) and C (- 4, - 1) .

(a) Show that the equation of the line AC is y = x + 3. [2]

M is the midpoint of AB. The line AC intersects the x-axis at D.

(b) Determine the angle DMA. [7]

11 A sports car accelerates along a straight road from rest. After 5 s its velocity is 9 m s -1 .

In model A, the acceleration is assumed to be constant.

(a) Calculate the distance travelled by the car in the first 5 seconds according to model A. [2]

In model B, the velocity v in m s -1 is given by v = 0.05t 3 + kt, where t is the time in seconds after
the start and k is a constant.

(b) Find the value of k which gives the correct value of v when t = 5. [2]

(c) Using this value of k in model B, calculate the acceleration of the car when t = 5. [2]

The car travels 16 m in the first 5 seconds.

(d) Show that model B, with the value of k found in part (b), better fits this information than
model A does. [3]

12 Below is a faulty argument that appears to show that the gradient of the curve y = x 2 at the point
(3, 9) is 1.

Consider the chord joining (3, 9) to the point (3 + h, (3 + h)2)

(3 + h)2 - 9 6h + h 2
The gradient is =
h h
0
When h = 0 the gradient is so the gradient of the curve is 1

(a) Identify a fault in the argument. [1]

(b) Write a valid first principles argument leading to the correct value for the gradient at (3, 9).
[3]

(c) Find the equation of the normal to the curve at the point (3, 9). [2]
