1. A projectile P is fired from a point O Of a horizontal plane at t=0 s . The projectile passes through
two points A and B whose position vectors are respectively (ai+18.75 j ¿ m∧( ( a+10 ) i+18.75 j ) m
relative to O. Given that P passes through A at time t 1s and through B at time (t 1+1 ¿ s , find :
a) The velocity of projection
b) The values of t 1 and a
c) The maximum height of P above the plane (13 mks)
2. A car is travelling along a motorway at 110km/h. at a point A, the driver observes a sign warning of
road works ahead ordering a reduction of speed to v km/h. The driver immediately applies the
brakes so that the speed of the car is uniformly retarded in t minutes to v km/h. The car maintains
this speed until a road clear sign is reached. The driver then accelerates uniformly for 3 t minutes

until the car reaches a speed of 110km/h at the point B. The distance travelled at v km/h is 2 km,

the total distance travelled from A to B is 6 km and the car takes 6 minutes to travel from A to B.

3. A bag initially contains 3 red balls and 4 white balls. A trial consists of selecting a ball at random,
noting its colour and replacing it with a ball of the other colour. If three trials are made, draw a
tree diagram showing the probabilities of the various outcomes. Hence, or otherwise, find the
probability that
a) The third ball selected is red,
b) Exactly one white ball is selected,
c) At least one red ball is selected.
Given that the three balls are of the same colour,
d) Find the probability that they are all white. (12mks)

4. Two particles P and Q of masses 2 m and 5 m respectively are connected by a light inextensible
string. Particle P lies on a horizontal table and the string passes over a small smooth fixed pulley at
the edge of the table so that particle Q hangs freely at the other end of the string at a distance 2l
above the ground. The coefficient of friction between P and the table is ½ and the frictional force
 between the string and the table is negligible. The system is released from rest with both parts
vertical. Find:
a) The tension in the string,
b) The acceleration of the system,
c) The magnitude and direction of the force exerted on the pulley.

5. Two small spheres A and B of equal radii and masses 3m and 5m respectively lie on a smooth
horizontal floor in a line perpendicular to a smooth vertical wall. The sphere B is nearer the wall than
A. Sphere A is given a velocity of Um/ s along the line of centres and strikes B directly. If coefficient
2
of restitution between the spheres is . Show that the velocities of spheres A and B just after
3
u 21u
impacts are m/s and m/s respectively.

a) Coefficient of restitution between the sphere B and the wall

brought to rest in the second impulse with B. (13 mks)
