6 Two particles \(A\) and \(B\), of masses 0.8 kg and 0.2 kg respectively, are connected by a light inextensible string. Particle \(A\) is placed on a horizontal surface. The string passes over a small smooth pulley \(P\) fixed at the edge of the surface, and \(B\) hangs freely. The horizontal section of the string, \(A P\), is of length 2.5 m . The particles are released from rest with both sections of the string taut.
- Given that the surface is smooth, find the time taken for \(A\) to reach the pulley.
- Given instead that the surface is rough and the coefficient of friction between \(A\) and the surface is 0.1 , find the speed of \(A\) immediately before it reaches the pulley.
\(7 \quad\) A particle \(P\) moves in a straight line. The velocity \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) is given by
$$\begin{array} { l l }
v = 5 t ( t - 2 ) & \text { for } 0 \leqslant t \leqslant 4
v = k & \text { for } 4 \leqslant t \leqslant 14
v = 68 - 2 t & \text { for } 14 \leqslant t \leqslant 20
\end{array}$$
where \(k\) is a constant. - Find \(k\).
- Sketch the velocity-time graph for \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 20\).
- Find the set of values of \(t\) for which the acceleration of \(P\) is positive.
- Find the total distance travelled by \(P\) in the interval \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 20\).
