7 In a long-running biochemical experiment, an initial amount of 1200 mg of an enzyme is placed into a mixture. The model for the amount of enzyme present in the mixture suggests that, at the end of each hour, one-eighth of the amount of enzyme that was present at the start of that hour is used up due to chemical reactions within the mixture. To compensate for this, at the end of each six-hour period of time, a further 500 mg of the enzyme is added to the mixture.
  1. Let \(n\) be the number of six-hour periods that have elapsed since the experiment began. Explain how the amount of enzyme, \(\mathrm { E } _ { \mathrm { n } } \mathrm { mg }\), in the mixture is given by the recurrence system \(E _ { 0 } = 1200\) and \(E _ { n + 1 } = \left( \frac { 7 } { 8 } \right) ^ { 6 } E _ { n } + 500\) for \(n \geqslant 0\).
  2. Solve the recurrence system given in part (a) to obtain an exact expression for \(\mathrm { E } _ { \mathrm { n } }\) in terms of \(n\).
  3. Hence determine, in the long term, the amount of enzyme in the mixture. Give your answer correct to \(\mathbf { 3 }\) significant figures.
  4. In this question you must show detailed reasoning. The long-running experiment is then repeated. This time a new requirement is added that the amount of enzyme present in the mixture must always be at least 500 mg . Show that the new requirement ceases to be satisfied before 12 hours have elapsed. \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER} }{www.ocr.org.uk}) after the live examination series.

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,
  1. 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,
  2. 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.

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.
    1. 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.

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 \(T _ { 2 } \mathrm {~N}\).
    1. By considering forces on \(R\), express \(T _ { 2 }\) in terms of \(m _ { 2 }\).
    2. Show that
      1. \(T _ { 1 } = \frac { 49 } { 4 } \left( m _ { 1 } + m _ { 2 } \right)\),

2 A particle \(P\) of mass 2.4 kg is moving in a straight line \(O A\) on a horizontal plane. \(P\) is acted on by a force of magnitude 30 N in the direction of motion. The distance \(O A\) is 10 m . \begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)] \item Find the work done by this force as \(P\) moves from \(O\) to \(A\). The motion of \(P\) is resisted by a constant force of magnitude \(R \mathrm {~N}\). The velocity of \(P\) increases from \(12 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at \(O\) to \(18 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) at \(A\). \item Find the value of \(R\). \item Find the average power used in overcoming the resistance force on \(P\) as it moves from \(O\) to \(A\). When \(P\) reaches \(A\) it collides directly with a particle \(Q\) of mass 1.6 kg which was at rest at \(A\) before the collision. The impulse exerted on \(Q\) by \(P\) as a result of the collision is 17.28 Ns . \item
  1. Find the speed of \(Q\) after the collision.
  2. Hence show that the collision is inelastic. It is required to model the motion of a car of mass \(m \mathrm {~kg}\) travelling at a constant speed \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) around a circular portion of banked track. The track is banked at \(30 ^ { \circ }\) (see diagram). \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{b9741472-f230-4e2d-9c8b-47f7e168e938-03_355_565_269_274} In a model, the following modelling assumptions are made.
    For a particular portion of banked track, \(r = 24\).
    (b) Find the value of \(v\) as predicted by the model. A car is being driven on this portion of the track at the constant speed calculated in part (b). The driver finds that in fact he can drive a little slower or a little faster than this while still moving in the same horizontal circle.
