1 Two small smooth spheres \(A\) and \(B\) have equal radii and have masses \(m\) and \(k m\) respectively. They are moving in a straight line in the same direction on a smooth horizontal table. The speed of \(A\) is \(u\) and the speed of \(B\) is \(\frac { 2 } { 3 } u\). Sphere \(A\) collides directly with sphere \(B\). The coefficient of restitution between the spheres is \(\frac { 4 } { 5 }\).
  1. Show that the speed of \(A\) after the collision is \(\frac { u ( 2 k + 5 ) } { 5 ( k + 1 ) }\).
  2. Given that the magnitude of the impulse experienced by \(B\) during the collision is \(\frac { 2 } { 5 } m u\), find the value of \(k\).

The rod rests in equilibrium on a smooth peg \(C\), with the end \(A\) resting on a rough horizontal plane. The distance \(A C\) is \(2 a\) and the angle between \(A B\) and the horizontal is \(\alpha\), where \(\cos \alpha = \frac { 3 } { 5 }\).

A uniform circular lamina of radius \(\frac { 5 } { 2 } a\) has mass \(\frac { 1 } { 3 } M\). The two laminas are fixed together in the same plane with their centres coinciding at the point \(O\) (see diagram). A particle \(P\) of mass \(\frac { 1 } { 2 } M\) is attached at \(C\).

6 Employees at a particular company have been working seven hours each day, from 9 am to 4 pm . To try to reduce absence, the company decides to introduce 'flexi-time' and allow employees to work their seven hours each day at any time between 7 am and 9 pm . For a random sample of 10 employees, the numbers of hours of absence in the year before and the year after the introduction of flexi-time are given in the following table.

Use a paired sample \(t\)-test to test, at the \(10 \%\) significance level, whether the population mean number of hours of absence has decreased, following the introduction of flexi-time.

7 James throws a discus repeatedly in an attempt to achieve a successful throw. A throw is counted as successful if the distance achieved is over 40 metres. For each throw, the probability that James is successful is \(\frac { 1 } { 4 }\), independently of all other throws. Find the probability that James takes
  1. exactly 5 throws to achieve the first successful throw,
  2. more than 8 throws to achieve the first successful throw. In order to qualify for a competition, a discus-thrower must throw over 40 metres within at most six attempts. When a successful throw is achieved, no further throws are taken. Find the probability that James qualifies for the competition. Colin is another discus-thrower. For each throw, the probability that he will achieve a throw over 40 metres is \(\frac { 1 } { 3 }\), independently of all other throws. Find the probability that exactly one of James and Colin qualifies for the competition.

11 Answer only one of the following two alternatives.
EITHER
A particle \(P\) of mass \(m\) is suspended from a fixed point by a light elastic string of natural length \(l\), and hangs in equilibrium. The particle is pulled vertically down to a position where the length of the string is \(\frac { 13 } { 7 } l\). The particle is released from rest in this position and reaches its greatest height when the length of the string is \(\frac { 11 } { 7 } l\).
  1. Show that the modulus of elasticity of the string is \(\frac { 7 } { 5 } \mathrm { mg }\).
  2. Show that \(P\) moves in simple harmonic motion about the equilibrium position and state the period of the motion.
  3. Find the time after release when the speed of \(P\) is first equal to half of its maximum value.

    For a random sample of 12 observations of pairs of values \(( x , y )\), the equation of the regression line of \(y\) on \(x\) and the equation of the regression line of \(x\) on \(y\) are $$y = b x + 4.5 \quad \text { and } \quad x = a y + c$$ respectively, where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are constants. The product moment correlation coefficient for the sample is 0.6 .
  4. Test, at the \(5 \%\) significance level, whether there is evidence of positive correlation between the variables.
  5. Given that \(b - a = 0.5\), find the values of \(a\) and \(b\).
  6. Given that the sum of the \(x\)-values in the sample data is 66, find the value of \(c\) and sketch the two regression lines on the same diagram. For each of the 12 pairs of values of \(( x , y )\) in the sample, another variable \(z\) is considered, where \(z = 5 y\).
  7. State the coefficient of \(x\) in the equation of the regression line of \(z\) on \(x\) and find the value of the product moment correlation coefficient between \(x\) and \(z\), justifying your answer.
