Pre-U Pre-U 9795/2 2016 Specimen — Question 7

Exam BoardPre-U
ModulePre-U 9795/2 (Pre-U Further Mathematics Paper 2)
Year2016
SessionSpecimen
TopicWork done and energy
TypeMotion on rough inclined plane
DifficultyModerate -0.3 This is a straightforward energy conservation problem requiring a single application of the work-energy principle. Students must equate initial energy (KE + PE) minus work done against friction to final KE, then solve for F. While it involves multiple energy forms, it's a standard textbook exercise with no conceptual subtlety or multi-step reasoning beyond setting up one equation.

7 A child of mass 20 kg slides down a rough slope of length 16 m against a constant frictional force \(F \mathrm {~N}\). Starting with an initial speed of \(2 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) at a point 8 m above the ground, she reaches the ground with a speed of \(6 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). Find the value of \(F\).
