3 A student is investigating fluid flowing through a pipe.
In her first model she assumes a relationship of the form \(P = S \rho ^ { \alpha } g ^ { \beta } h ^ { \gamma }\) where \(\rho\) is the density of the fluid, \(h\) is the length of the pipe, \(P\) is the pressure difference between the ends of the pipe, \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity and \(S\) is a dimensionless constant. You are given that \(\rho\) is measured in \(\mathrm { kg } \mathrm { m } ^ { - 3 }\).
  1. Use the fact that pressure is force per unit area to show that \([ P ] = \mathrm { ML } ^ { - 1 } \mathrm {~T} ^ { - 2 }\).
  2. Find the values of \(\alpha , \beta\) and \(\gamma\). The density of the fluid the student is using is \(540 \mathrm {~kg} \mathrm {~m} ^ { - 3 }\). In her experiment she finds that when the length of the pipe is 1.40 m the pressure difference between the ends of the pipe is \(3.25 \mathrm { Nm } ^ { - 2 }\).
  3. Find the length of the pipe for which her first model would predict a pressure difference between the ends of the pipe of \(4.65 \mathrm { Nm } ^ { - 2 }\). In an alternative model the student suggests a modified relationship of the form \(P = S \rho ^ { \alpha } g ^ { \beta } h ^ { \gamma } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } h v ^ { 2 }\), where \(v\) is the average velocity of the fluid in the pipe.
  4. Use dimensional analysis to assess the validity of her alternative model.

6 A fairground game involves a player kicking a ball, \(B\), from rest so as to project it with a horizontal velocity of magnitude \(u \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The ball is attached to one end of a light rod of length \(l \mathrm {~m}\). The other end of the rod is smoothly hinged at a fixed point \(O\) so that \(B\) can only move in the vertical plane which contains \(O\), a fixed barrier and a bell which is fixed \(l \mathrm {~m}\) vertically above \(O\). Initially \(B\) is vertically below \(O\). The barrier is positioned so that when \(B\) collides directly with the barrier, \(O B\) makes an angle \(\theta\) with the downwards vertical through \(O\) (see diagram).
\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{bf86ac88-0fd1-4d49-a705-9b8d06fbac2a-4_643_659_584_724} The coefficient of restitution between \(B\) and the barrier is \(e . B\) rebounds from the barrier, passes through its original position and continues on a circular path towards the bell. The bell will only ring if the ball strikes it with a speed of at least \(V \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The player wins the game if the player causes the bell to ring having kicked \(B\) so that it first collides with the barrier. You may assume that \(B\) and the bell are small and that the barrier has negligible thickness. Show that, whatever the position of the barrier, the player cannot win the game if \(u ^ { 2 } < 4 g l + \frac { V ^ { 2 } } { e ^ { 2 } }\). \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER}

The wire is fixed in a vertical plane. A small bead \(P\) of mass 0.03 kg is threaded on the wire and is projected along the wire from the highest point with a speed of \(4.2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). When \(O P\) makes an angle \(\theta\) with the upward vertical the speed of \(P\) is \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) (see diagram).
  1. Show that \(v ^ { 2 } = 33.32 - 15.68 \cos \theta\).
  2. Prove that the bead is never at rest.
  3. Find the maximum value of \(v\).
  4. Write down the dimension of density. The workings of an oil pump consist of a right, solid cylinder which is partially submerged in oil. The cylinder is free to oscillate along its central axis which is vertical. If the base area of the pump is \(0.4 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\) and the density of the oil is \(920 \mathrm {~kg} \mathrm {~m} ^ { - 3 }\) then the period of oscillation of the pump is 0.7 s .
    A student assumes that the period of oscillation of the pump is dependent only on the density of the oil, \(\rho\), the acceleration due to gravity, \(g\), and the surface area, \(A\), of the circular base of the pump. The student attempts to test this assumption by stating that the period of oscillation, \(T\), is given by \(T = C \rho ^ { \alpha } g ^ { \beta } A ^ { \gamma }\) where \(C\) is a dimensionless constant.
  5. Use dimensional analysis to find the values of \(\alpha , \beta\) and \(\gamma\).
  6. Hence give the value of \(C\) to 3 significant figures.
  7. Comment, with justification, on the assumption made by the student that the formula for the period of oscillation of the pump was dependent on only \(\rho , g\) and \(A\). A car of mass 1250 kg experiences a resistance to its motion of magnitude \(k v ^ { 2 } \mathrm {~N}\), where \(k\) is a constant and \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) is the car's speed. The car travels in a straight line along a horizontal road with its engine working at a constant rate of \(P \mathrm {~W}\). At a point \(A\) on the road the car's speed is \(15 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and it has an acceleration of magnitude \(0.54 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\). At a point \(B\) on the road the car's speed is \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and it has an acceleration of magnitude \(0.3 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
  8. Find the values of \(k\) and \(P\). The power is increased to 15 kW .
  9. Calculate the maximum steady speed of the car on a straight horizontal road.

Their masses are \(1.2 \mathrm {~kg} , 1.8 \mathrm {~kg}\) and \(m \mathrm {~kg}\) respectively (see diagram). The coefficient of restitution in collisions between any two of them is \(\frac { 3 } { 4 }\). Initially, \(B\) and \(C\) are at rest and \(A\) is moving with a velocity of \(4.0 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) towards \(B\).
a) Show that immediately after the collision between \(A\) and \(B\) the speed of \(B\) is \(2.8 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
b) Find the velocity of \(A\) immediately after this collision.
\(B\) subsequently collides with \(C\).
c) Find, in terms of \(m\), the velocity of \(B\) after its collision with \(C\).
d) Given that the direction of motion of \(B\) is reversed by the collision with \(C\), find the range of possible values of \(m\). The car is attached to a trailer of mass 200 kg by a light rigid horizontal tow bar. The greatest steady speed of the car and trailer on the road is now \(30 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\). The resistance to motion of the trailer may also be assumed constant.
(b) Find the magnitude of the resistance force on the trailer. The car and trailer again travel along the road. At one instant their speed is \(15 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) and their acceleration is \(0.57 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
(c) (i) Find the power of the engine of the car at this instant.
(ii) Find the magnitude of the tension in the tow bar at this instant. In a refined model of the motion of the car and trailer the resistance to the motion of each is assumed to be zero until they reach a speed of \(10 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\). When the speed is \(10 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) or above the same constant resistance forces as in the first model are assumed to apply to each. The car and trailer start at rest on the road and accelerate, using maximum power.
(d) Without carrying out any further calculations,
(i) explain whether the time taken to attain a speed of \(20 \mathrm {~m} ^ { - 1 }\) would be predicted to be lower, the same or higher using the refined model compared with the original model,
(ii) explain whether the greatest steady speed of the system would be predicted to be lower, the same or higher using the refined model compared with the original model. \section*{Total Marks for Question Set 1: 31} \section*{Mark scheme} \section*{Marking Instructions} a An element of professional judgement is required in the marking of any written paper. Remember that the mark scheme is designed to assist in marking incorrect solutions. Correct solutions leading to correct answers are awarded full marks but work must not always be judged on the answer alone, and answers that are given in the question, especially, must be validly obtained; key steps in the working must always be looked at and anything unfamiliar must be investigated thoroughly. Correct but unfamiliar or unexpected methods are often signalled by a correct result following an apparently incorrect method. Such work must be carefully assessed.
b The following types of marks are available. \section*{M} A suitable method has been selected and applied in a manner which shows that the method is essentially understood. Method marks are not usually lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. In some cases the nature of the errors allowed for the award of an M mark may be specified.
A method mark may usually be implied by a correct answer unless the question includes the DR statement, the command words "Determine" or "Show that", or some other indication that the method must be given explicitly. \section*{A} Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated Method mark is earned (or implied). Therefore M0 A1 cannot ever be awarded. \section*{B} Mark for a correct result or statement independent of Method marks. \section*{E} A given result is to be established or a result has to be explained. This usually requires more working or explanation than the establishment of an unknown result. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored. Sometimes this is reinforced in the mark scheme by the abbreviation isw. However, this would not apply to a case where a candidate passes through the correct answer as part of a wrong argument.
c When a part of a question has two or more 'method' steps, the M marks are in principle independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly where there are several B marks allocated. (The notation 'dep*' is used to indicate that a particular mark is dependent on an earlier, asterisked, mark in the scheme.) Of course, in practice it may happen that when a candidate has once gone wrong in a part of a question, the work from there on is worthless so that no more marks can sensibly be given. On the other hand, when two or more steps are successfully run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit must be given.
d The abbreviation FT implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A and B marks are given for correct work only - differences in notation are of course permitted. A (accuracy) marks are not given for answers obtained from incorrect working. When A or B marks are awarded for work at an intermediate stage of a solution, there may be various alternatives that are equally acceptable. In such cases, what is acceptable will be detailed in the mark scheme. Sometimes the answer to one part of a question is used in a later part of the same question. In this case, A marks will often be 'follow through'.
e We are usually quite flexible about the accuracy to which the final answer is expressed; over-specification is usually only penalised where the scheme explicitly says so.
  • When a value is given in the paper only accept an answer correct to at least as many significant figures as the given value.
  • When a value is not given in the paper accept any answer that agrees with the correct value to \(\mathbf { 3 ~ s } . \mathbf { f }\). unless a different level of accuracy has been asked for in the question, or the mark scheme specifies an acceptable range.
Follow through should be used so that only one mark in any question is lost for each distinct accuracy error.
Candidates using a value of \(9.80,9.81\) or 10 for \(g\) should usually be penalised for any final accuracy marks which do not agree to the value found with 9.8 which is given in the rubric.
f Rules for replaced work and multiple attempts:
  • If one attempt is clearly indicated as the one to mark, or only one is left uncrossed out, then mark that attempt and ignore the others.
  • If more than one attempt is left not crossed out, then mark the last attempt unless it only repeats part of the first attempt or is substantially less complete.
  • if a candidate crosses out all of their attempts, the assessor should attempt to mark the crossed out answer(s) as above and award marks appropriately.
For a genuine misreading (of numbers or symbols) which is such that the object and the difficulty of the question remain unaltered, mark according to the scheme but following through from the candidate's data. A penalty is then applied; 1 mark is generally appropriate, though this may differ for some units. This is achieved by withholding one A or B mark in the question. Marks designated as cao may be awarded as long as there are no other errors.
If a candidate corrects the misread in a later part, do not continue to follow through. Note that a miscopy of the candidate's own working is not a misread but an accuracy error.
h If a calculator is used, some answers may be obtained with little or no working visible. Allow full marks for correct answers, provided that there is nothing in the wording of the question specifying that analytical methods are required such as the bold "In this question you must show detailed reasoning", or the command words "Show" or "Determine". Where an answer is wrong but there is some evidence of method, allow appropriate method marks. Wrong answers with no supporting method score zero. \begin{table}[h]

2 A particle moves in a straight line with constant acceleration. Its initial and final velocities are \(u\) and \(v\) respectively and at time \(t\) its displacement from its starting position is \(s\). An equation connecting these quantities is \(s = k \left( u ^ { \alpha } + v ^ { \beta } \right) t ^ { \gamma }\), where \(k\) is a dimensionless constant.
  1. Use dimensional analysis to find the values of \(\alpha , \beta\) and \(\gamma\).
  2. By considering the case where the acceleration is zero, determine the value of \(k\).

Two particles \(A\) and \(B\) are connected by a light inextensible string. Particle \(A\) has mass 1.2 kg and moves on a smooth horizontal table in a circular path of radius 0.6 m and centre \(O\). The string passes through a small smooth hole at \(O\). Particle \(B\) moves in a horizontal circle in such a way that it is always vertically below \(A\). The angle that the portion of the string below the table makes with the downwards vertical through \(O\) is \(\theta\), where \(\cos \theta = \frac { 4 } { 5 }\) (see diagram).

Remember that the mark scheme is designed to assist in marking incorrect solutions. Correct solutions leading to correct answers are awarded full marks but work must not always be judged on the answer alone, and answers that are given in the question, especially, must be validly obtained; key steps in the working must always be looked at and anything unfamiliar must be investigated thoroughly. Correct but unfamiliar or unexpected methods are often signalled by a correct result following an apparently incorrect method. Such work must be carefully assessed.
    b The following types of marks are available. \section*{M} A suitable method has been selected and applied in a manner which shows that the method is essentially understood. Method marks are not usually lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. In some cases the nature of the errors allowed for the award of an M mark may be specified.
    A method mark may usually be implied by a correct answer unless the question includes the DR statement, the command words "Determine" or "Show that", or some other indication that the method must be given explicitly. \section*{A} Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated Method mark is earned (or implied). Therefore M0 A1 cannot ever be awarded. \section*{B} Mark for a correct result or statement independent of Method marks. \section*{E} A given result is to be established or a result has to be explained. This usually requires more working or explanation than the establishment of an unknown result. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored. Sometimes this is reinforced in the mark scheme by the abbreviation isw. However, this would not apply to a case where a candidate passes through the correct answer as part of a wrong argument.
    c When a part of a question has two or more 'method' steps, the M marks are in principle independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly where there are several B marks allocated. (The notation 'dep*' is used to indicate that a particular mark is dependent on an earlier, asterisked, mark in the scheme.) Of course, in practice it may happen that when a candidate has once gone wrong in a part of a question, the work from there on is worthless so that no more marks can sensibly be given. On the other hand, when two or more steps are successfully run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit must be given.
    d The abbreviation FT implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A and B marks are given for correct work only - differences in notation are of course permitted. A (accuracy) marks are not given for answers obtained from incorrect working. When A or B marks are awarded for work at an intermediate stage of a solution, there may be various alternatives that are equally acceptable. In such cases, what is acceptable will be detailed in the mark scheme. Sometimes the answer to one part of a question is used in a later part of the same question. In this case, A marks will often be 'follow through'.
    e We are usually quite flexible about the accuracy to which the final answer is expressed; over-specification is usually only penalised where the scheme explicitly says so.
    • When a value is given in the paper only accept an answer correct to at least as many significant figures as the given value.
    • When a value is not given in the paper accept any answer that agrees with the correct value to \(\mathbf { 3 ~ s } . \mathbf { f }\). unless a different level of accuracy has been asked for in the question, or the mark scheme specifies an acceptable range.
    Follow through should be used so that only one mark in any question is lost for each distinct accuracy error.
    Candidates using a value of \(9.80,9.81\) or 10 for \(g\) should usually be penalised for any final accuracy marks which do not agree to the value found with 9.8 which is given in the rubric.
    f Rules for replaced work and multiple attempts:
    • If one attempt is clearly indicated as the one to mark, or only one is left uncrossed out, then mark that attempt and ignore the others.
    • If more than one attempt is left not crossed out, then mark the last attempt unless it only repeats part of the first attempt or is substantially less complete.
    • if a candidate crosses out all of their attempts, the assessor should attempt to mark the crossed out answer(s) as above and award marks appropriately.
    For a genuine misreading (of numbers or symbols) which is such that the object and the difficulty of the question remain unaltered, mark according to the scheme but following through from the candidate's data. A penalty is then applied; 1 mark is generally appropriate, though this may differ for some units. This is achieved by withholding one A or B mark in the question. Marks designated as cao may be awarded as long as there are no other errors.
    If a candidate corrects the misread in a later part, do not continue to follow through. Note that a miscopy of the candidate's own working is not a misread but an accuracy error.
    h If a calculator is used, some answers may be obtained with little or no working visible. Allow full marks for correct answers, provided that there is nothing in the wording of the question specifying that analytical methods are required such as the bold "In this question you must show detailed reasoning", or the command words "Show" or "Determine". Where an answer is wrong but there is some evidence of method, allow appropriate method marks. Wrong answers with no supporting method score zero. \begin{table}[h]

2 A student is studying the speed of sound, \(u\), in a gas under different conditions.
He assumes that \(u\) depends on the pressure, \(p\), of the gas, the density, \(\rho\), of the gas and the wavelength, \(\lambda\), of the sound in the relationship \(u = k p ^ { \alpha } \rho ^ { \beta } \lambda ^ { \gamma }\), where \(k\) is a dimensionless constant. (The wavelength of a sound is the distance between successive peaks in the sound wave.)
  1. Use the fact that density is mass per unit volume to find \([ \rho ]\).
  2. Given that the units of \(p\) are \(\mathrm { Nm } ^ { - 2 }\), determine the values of \(\alpha , \beta\) and \(\gamma\).
  3. Comment on what the value of \(\gamma\) means about how fast sounds of different wavelengths travel through the gas. The student carries out two experiments, \(A\) and \(B\), to measure \(u\). Only the density of the gas varies between the experiments, all other conditions being unchanged. He finds that the value of \(u\) in experiment \(B\) is double the value in experiment \(A\).
  4. By what factor has the density of the gas in experiment \(A\) been multiplied to give the density of the gas in experiment \(B\) ? Particles \(A\) of mass \(2 m\) and \(B\) of mass \(m\) are on a smooth horizontal floor. \(A\) is moving with speed \(u\) directly towards a vertical wall, and \(B\) is at rest between \(A\) and the wall (see diagram).
    \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{d6a0d7a6-4166-4c26-a461-39b2414c0412-03_211_795_285_244}
    \(A\) collides directly with \(B\). The coefficient of restitution in this collision is \(\frac { 1 } { 2 }\).
    \(B\) then collides with the wall, rebounds, and collides with \(A\) for a second time.
  5. Show that the speed of \(B\) after its second collision with \(A\) is \(\frac { 1 } { 2 } u\). The first collision between \(A\) and \(B\) occurs at a distance \(d\) from the wall. The second collision between \(A\) and \(B\) occurs at a distance \(\frac { 1 } { 5 } d\) from the wall.
  6. Find the coefficient of restitution for the collision between \(B\) and the wall. \section*{Total Marks for Question Set 3: 28} \section*{Mark scheme} \section*{Marking Instructions} a An element of professional judgement is required in the marking of any written paper.

2 A car of mass 1500 kg has an engine with maximum power 60 kW . When the car is travelling at \(10 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) along a straight horizontal road using maximum power, its acceleration is \(3.3 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\). In an initial model of the motion of the car it is assumed that the resistance to motion is constant.
  1. Using this initial model, find the greatest possible steady speed of the car along the road. In a refined model the resistance to motion is assumed to be proportional to the speed of the car.
  2. Using this refined model, find the greatest possible steady speed of the car along the road. The greatest possible steady speed of the car on the road is measured and found to be \(21.6 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
  3. Explain what this value means about the models used in parts (a) and (b).
    \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{aa25b8a6-9a5a-4de2-9534-18db8a175c34-03_583_378_169_255} As shown in the diagram, \(A B\) is a long thin rod which is fixed vertically with \(A\) above \(B\). One end of a light inextensible string of length 1 m is attached to \(A\) and the other end is attached to a particle \(P\) of mass \(m _ { 1 } \mathrm {~kg}\). One end of another light inextensible string of length 1 m is also attached to \(P\). Its other end is attached to a small smooth ring \(R\), of mass \(m _ { 2 } \mathrm {~kg}\), which is free to move on \(A B\). Initially, \(P\) moves in a horizontal circle of radius 0.6 m with constant angular velocity \(\omega \mathrm { rads } ^ { - 1 }\). The magnitude of the tension in string \(A P\) is denoted by \(T _ { 1 } \mathrm {~N}\) while that in string \(P R\) is denoted by \(T _ { 2 } \mathrm {~N}\).
  4. By considering forces on \(R\), express \(T _ { 2 }\) in terms of \(m _ { 2 }\).
  5. Show that
    1. \(T _ { 1 } = \frac { 49 } { 4 } \left( m _ { 1 } + m _ { 2 } \right)\),
    2. \(\omega ^ { 2 } = \frac { 49 \left( m _ { 1 } + 2 m _ { 2 } \right) } { 4 m _ { 1 } }\).
  6. Deduce that, in the case where \(m _ { 1 }\) is much bigger than \(m _ { 2 } , \omega \approx 3.5\). In a different case, where \(m _ { 1 } = 2.5\) and \(m _ { 2 } = 2.8 , P\) slows down. Eventually the system comes to rest with \(P\) and \(R\) hanging in equilibrium.
  7. Find the total energy lost by \(P\) and \(R\) as the angular velocity of \(P\) changes from the initial value of \(\omega \mathrm { rads } ^ { - 1 }\) to zero. \section*{Total Marks for Question Set 4: 32} \section*{Mark scheme} \section*{Marking Instructions} a An element of professional judgement is required in the marking of any written paper. Remember that the mark scheme is designed to assist in marking incorrect solutions. Correct solutions leading to correct answers are awarded full marks but work must not always be judged on the answer alone, and answers that are given in the question, especially, must be validly obtained; key steps in the working must always be looked at and anything unfamiliar must be investigated thoroughly. Correct but unfamiliar or unexpected methods are often signalled by a correct result following an apparently incorrect method. Such work must be carefully assessed.
    b The following types of marks are available. \section*{M} A suitable method has been selected and applied in a manner which shows that the method is essentially understood. Method marks are not usually lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. In some cases the nature of the errors allowed for the award of an M mark may be specified.
    A method mark may usually be implied by a correct answer unless the question includes the DR statement, the command words "Determine" or "Show that", or some other indication that the method must be given explicitly. \section*{A} Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated Method mark is earned (or implied). Therefore M0 A1 cannot ever be awarded. \section*{B} Mark for a correct result or statement independent of Method marks. \section*{E} A given result is to be established or a result has to be explained. This usually requires more working or explanation than the establishment of an unknown result. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored. Sometimes this is reinforced in the mark scheme by the abbreviation isw. However, this would not apply to a case where a candidate passes through the correct answer as part of a wrong argument.
    c When a part of a question has two or more 'method' steps, the M marks are in principle independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly where there are several B marks allocated. (The notation 'dep*' is used to indicate that a particular mark is dependent on an earlier, asterisked, mark in the scheme.) Of course, in practice it may happen that when a candidate has once gone wrong in a part of a question, the work from there on is worthless so that no more marks can sensibly be given. On the other hand, when two or more steps are successfully run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit must be given.
    d The abbreviation FT implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A and B marks are given for correct work only - differences in notation are of course permitted. A (accuracy) marks are not given for answers obtained from incorrect working. When A or B marks are awarded for work at an intermediate stage of a solution, there may be various alternatives that are equally acceptable. In such cases, what is acceptable will be detailed in the mark scheme. Sometimes the answer to one part of a question is used in a later part of the same question. In this case, A marks will often be 'follow through'.
    e We are usually quite flexible about the accuracy to which the final answer is expressed; over-specification is usually only penalised where the scheme explicitly says so.
    • When a value is given in the paper only accept an answer correct to at least as many significant figures as the given value.
    • When a value is not given in the paper accept any answer that agrees with the correct value to \(\mathbf { 3 ~ s } . \mathbf { f }\). unless a different level of accuracy has been asked for in the question, or the mark scheme specifies an acceptable range.
    Follow through should be used so that only one mark in any question is lost for each distinct accuracy error.
    Candidates using a value of \(9.80,9.81\) or 10 for \(g\) should usually be penalised for any final accuracy marks which do not agree to the value found with 9.8 which is given in the rubric.
    f Rules for replaced work and multiple attempts:
    • If one attempt is clearly indicated as the one to mark, or only one is left uncrossed out, then mark that attempt and ignore the others.
    • If more than one attempt is left not crossed out, then mark the last attempt unless it only repeats part of the first attempt or is substantially less complete.
    • if a candidate crosses out all of their attempts, the assessor should attempt to mark the crossed out answer(s) as above and award marks appropriately.
    For a genuine misreading (of numbers or symbols) which is such that the object and the difficulty of the question remain unaltered, mark according to the scheme but following through from the candidate's data. A penalty is then applied; 1 mark is generally appropriate, though this may differ for some units. This is achieved by withholding one A or B mark in the question. Marks designated as cao may be awarded as long as there are no other errors.
    If a candidate corrects the misread in a later part, do not continue to follow through. Note that a miscopy of the candidate's own working is not a misread but an accuracy error.
    h If a calculator is used, some answers may be obtained with little or no working visible. Allow full marks for correct answers, provided that there is nothing in the wording of the question specifying that analytical methods are required such as the bold "In this question you must show detailed reasoning", or the command words "Show" or "Determine". Where an answer is wrong but there is some evidence of method, allow appropriate method marks. Wrong answers with no supporting method score zero. \begin{table}[h]

2 A particle \(P\) of mass 5.6 kg is attached to one end of a light rod of length 2.1 m . The other end of the rod is freely hinged to a fixed point \(O\). The particle is initially at rest directly below \(O\). It is then projected horizontally with speed \(5 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\). In the subsequent motion, the angle between the rod and the downward vertical at \(O\) is denoted by \(\theta\) radians, as shown in the diagram.

  1. Find the speed of \(P\) when \(\theta = \frac { 1 } { 4 } \pi\).
  2. Find the value of \(\theta\) when \(P\) first comes to instantaneous rest. A particle of mass \(m\) moves in a straight line with constant acceleration \(a\). Its initial and final velocities are \(u\) and \(v\) respectively and its final displacement from its starting position is \(s\). In order to model the motion of the particle it is suggested that the velocity is given by the equation
    \(v ^ { 2 } = p u ^ { \alpha } + q a ^ { \beta } s ^ { \gamma }\) where \(p\) and \(q\) are dimensionless constants.
  3. Explain why \(\alpha\) must equal 2 for the equation to be dimensionally consistent.
  4. By using dimensional analysis, determine the values of \(\beta\) and \(\gamma\).
  5. By considering the case where \(s = 0\), determine the value of \(p\).
  6. By multiplying both sides of the equation by \(\frac { 1 } { 2 } m\), and using the numerical values of \(\alpha , \beta\) and \(\gamma\), determine the value of \(q\).

4 Three particles \(A , B\) and \(C\) are free to move in the same straight line on a large smooth horizontal surface. Their masses are \(3.3 \mathrm {~kg} , 2.2 \mathrm {~kg}\) and 1 kg respectively. The coefficient of restitution in collisions between any two of them is \(e\). Initially, \(B\) and \(C\) are at rest and \(A\) is moving towards \(B\) with speed \(u \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) (see diagram). \(A\) collides directly with \(B\) and \(B\) then goes on to collide directly with \(C\).

  1. The velocities of \(A\) and \(B\) immediately after the first collision are denoted by \(v _ { A } \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) and \(v _ { B } \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) respectively.
    • Show that \(v _ { A } = \frac { u ( 3 - 2 e ) } { 5 }\).
    • Find an expression for \(v _ { B }\) in terms of \(u\) and \(e\).
    • Find an expression in terms of \(u\) and \(e\) for the velocity of \(B\) immediately after its collision with \(C\).
    After the collision between \(B\) and \(C\) there is a further collision between \(A\) and \(B\).
  2. Determine the range of possible values of \(e\). \section*{Total Marks for Question Set 6: 32} \section*{Mark scheme} \section*{Marking Instructions} a An element of professional judgement is required in the marking of any written paper. Remember that the mark scheme is designed to assist in marking incorrect solutions. Correct solutions leading to correct answers are awarded full marks but work must not always be judged on the answer alone, and answers that are given in the question, especially, must be validly obtained; key steps in the working must always be looked at and anything unfamiliar must be investigated thoroughly. Correct but unfamiliar or unexpected methods are often signalled by a correct result following an apparently incorrect method. Such work must be carefully assessed.
    b The following types of marks are available. \section*{M} A suitable method has been selected and applied in a manner which shows that the method is essentially understood. Method marks are not usually lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. In some cases the nature of the errors allowed for the award of an M mark may be specified.
    A method mark may usually be implied by a correct answer unless the question includes the DR statement, the command words "Determine" or "Show that", or some other indication that the method must be given explicitly. \section*{A} Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated Method mark is earned (or implied). Therefore M0 A1 cannot ever be awarded. \section*{B} Mark for a correct result or statement independent of Method marks. \section*{E} A given result is to be established or a result has to be explained. This usually requires more working or explanation than the establishment of an unknown result. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored. Sometimes this is reinforced in the mark scheme by the abbreviation isw. However, this would not apply to a case where a candidate passes through the correct answer as part of a wrong argument.
    c When a part of a question has two or more 'method' steps, the M marks are in principle independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly where there are several B marks allocated. (The notation 'dep*' is used to indicate that a particular mark is dependent on an earlier, asterisked, mark in the scheme.) Of course, in practice it may happen that when a candidate has once gone wrong in a part of a question, the work from there on is worthless so that no more marks can sensibly be given. On the other hand, when two or more steps are successfully run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit must be given.
    d The abbreviation FT implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A and B marks are given for correct work only - differences in notation are of course permitted. A (accuracy) marks are not given for answers obtained from incorrect working. When A or B marks are awarded for work at an intermediate stage of a solution, there may be various alternatives that are equally acceptable. In such cases, what is acceptable will be detailed in the mark scheme. Sometimes the answer to one part of a question is used in a later part of the same question. In this case, A marks will often be 'follow through'.
    e We are usually quite flexible about the accuracy to which the final answer is expressed; over-specification is usually only penalised where the scheme explicitly says so.
    • When a value is given in the paper only accept an answer correct to at least as many significant figures as the given value.
    • When a value is not given in the paper accept any answer that agrees with the correct value to \(\mathbf { 3 ~ s } . \mathbf { f }\). unless a different level of accuracy has been asked for in the question, or the mark scheme specifies an acceptable range.
    Follow through should be used so that only one mark in any question is lost for each distinct accuracy error.
    Candidates using a value of \(9.80,9.81\) or 10 for \(g\) should usually be penalised for any final accuracy marks which do not agree to the value found with 9.8 which is given in the rubric.
    f Rules for replaced work and multiple attempts:
    • If one attempt is clearly indicated as the one to mark, or only one is left uncrossed out, then mark that attempt and ignore the others.
    • If more than one attempt is left not crossed out, then mark the last attempt unless it only repeats part of the first attempt or is substantially less complete.
    • if a candidate crosses out all of their attempts, the assessor should attempt to mark the crossed out answer(s) as above and award marks appropriately.
    For a genuine misreading (of numbers or symbols) which is such that the object and the difficulty of the question remain unaltered, mark according to the scheme but following through from the candidate's data. A penalty is then applied; 1 mark is generally appropriate, though this may differ for some units. This is achieved by withholding one A or B mark in the question. Marks designated as cao may be awarded as long as there are no other errors.
    If a candidate corrects the misread in a later part, do not continue to follow through. Note that a miscopy of the candidate's own working is not a misread but an accuracy error.
    h If a calculator is used, some answers may be obtained with little or no working visible. Allow full marks for correct answers, provided that there is nothing in the wording of the question specifying that analytical methods are required such as the bold "In this question you must show detailed reasoning", or the command words "Show" or "Determine". Where an answer is wrong but there is some evidence of method, allow appropriate method marks. Wrong answers with no supporting method score zero. \begin{table}[h]
