i) Find the coefficient of friction needed by the vehicle to follow the curve if the road is flat.
ii) Determine the banking angle required for the vehicle to follow the curve, without relying on
friction.

A5. The reflecting surfaces of two plane mirrors make an angle of i 10o between them. A ray striking mirror I
with an angle of incidence of 50o undergoes the first reflection by mirror 1 and the second reflection by
mirror 2. With the aid of a sketch, determine the angle of reflection when the ra1' leaves mirror 2.

Section B: Answer ANY THREE (3) Questions (Each carries 25 marks)

B1. a) An object is projected on a level ground, with initial velocity of magnitude u at an angle u to the
vertical. Obtain the expressions of the following in terms of u alrtd a:

i) The components of the initial velocity components. t4)

ii) The maximum height, H, reached by the object. tsl
iiD The time taken by the object in the air (time of flight), T. U]
iv) The horizontal displacement of the object when it hits the ground, R. 14)
 b) A roller-coaster car of mass 180 kg starts at the top of a 28 m hill with a velocity of 5 m s-l and dives
down into a valley whose deepest point is 13 m, before climbing to the top of a 19 m hill. Assuming the
surfaces are smooth, find the magnitude of the velocity at the deepest point.

B.2. a) An 80 kg person stands on a scale in an elevator. What does the scale read in newtons when the
elevator is:

i) moving upwards at a constant speed of 2.6 - s-1., ?j

ii) moving with an upward acceleration of 2.2 m s-2, and [+t
iii) moving with a downward accelerationof 2.2 rn s-2. t4l
b) i) Two objects of masses fllr: 5 kg and rrTz: 3 kg moving eastwards with speedS ur : l0 m s-1 and
uz: 4 ffi S-1, respectively. After collision they continue moving eastwards; mr with speed vr : 5.5 m s-l and
mz with speed Yz: 11.5 m t-'. D.te.mine whether this collision is elastic or not.

ii) A block of ice A, of mass m6:5.2 kg sliding parallel to the x-axis with initial velocity ua:6 m s-', on a
horizontal surface of a frictionless frozen pond. collides u,ith another block of ice B, of mass ms:3.0 kg,
initially at rest. The collision is inelastic. After the collision, the velocity of block A is v6 :4 ms-l, at an
angle of 26o above the positive x-axis. Determine the magnitude of the velocity vs, of block B.

83. a) A force F of magnitude 130 N is applied to a 15 kg mass at an angle of 35o to the horizontal. The
coefficient of friction between the surfaces is p1 :0.21. If the force is applied for 6 s. determine the:
