20 J 4 Reena is skating on an ice rink, which has a horizontal surface. She follows a circular path of radius 5 metres and centre \(O\)
She completes 10 full revolutions in 1 minute, moving with a constant angular speed of \(\omega\) radians per second. The mass of Reena is 40 kg
4
  1. Find the value of \(\omega\)
    4
    1. Find the magnitude of the horizontal resultant force acting on Reena.
      4
  2. (ii) Show the direction of this horizontal resultant force on the diagram below.

    12 \end{array} \right] \mathrm { N } \mathrm { s }\) is applied to a particle of mass 5 kg which is moving with velocity \(\left[ \begin{array} { l } 6
    2 \end{array} \right] \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) 5
  3. Calculate the magnitude of the impulse. 5
  4. Find the speed of the particle immediately after the impulse is applied.
    6 A ball is thrown with speed \(u\) at an angle of \(45 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal from a point \(O\) When the horizontal displacement of the ball is \(x\), the vertical displacement of the ball above \(O\) is \(y\) where $$y = x - \frac { k x ^ { 2 } } { u ^ { 2 } }$$ 6
  5. Use dimensional analysis to find the dimensions of \(k\)
    6
  6. State what can be deduced about \(k\) from the dimensions that you found in part (a).
    7 Two smooth, equally sized spheres, \(A\) and \(B\), are moving in the same direction along a straight line on a smooth horizontal surface, as shown in the diagram below.

    Immediately after the collision, \(A\) has speed \(2.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and \(B\) has speed \(3.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) The coefficient of restitution between the spheres is \(e\) 7
    1. Show that \(A\) does not change its direction of motion as a result of the collision.
      7
  7. (ii) Find the value of \(e\)
    7
  8. Given that the mass of \(B\) is 0.6 kg , find the mass of \(A\)
