DifficultyChallenging +1.2 Part (i) is a straightforward constant acceleration kinematics problem (2 marks). Part (ii) requires setting up and solving a differential equation from P=Fv with variable acceleration, involving separation of variables and integration—more demanding than typical A-level mechanics but follows a standard Pre-U/FM pattern without requiring novel insight.

An engine is travelling along a straight horizontal track against negligible resistances. In travelling a distance of 750 m its speed increases from 5 m s\(^{-1}\) to 15 m s\(^{-1}\). Find the time taken if the engine was
  1. exerting a constant tractive force, [2]
  2. working at constant power. [9]
