This section has seven questions. Answer all questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided.

Spare pages are included at the end of this booklet. They can be used for planning your responses
and/or as additional space if required to continue an answer.
● Planning: If you use the spare pages for planning, indicate this clearly at the top of the page.
● Continuing an answer: If you need to use the space to continue an answer, indicate in the original
answer space where the answer is continued, i.e. give the page number. Fill in the number of the
question that you are continuing to answer at the top of the page.

Working time: 45 minutes.

Question 8 (4 & 2 = 6
marks)

A student leaves camp and travels on a bearing of for 6.2 km. The student stops for rest at
Point B and then travels due East for 8.1 km.
(Note: Diagram not drawn to scale)

a) Determine the distance of the finish point from the camp.

Solution

Distance = 12.9km (accept 13 km)

Question 14 (5 marks)

Consider an object that has two forces acting on it as shown below.

Determine the total force acting on the body, including its direction.

(Note: Diagram not drawn to scale)

 Solution

HORIZONTAL COMPONENTS:
−35 cos 30+ 26 cos 60=−17.31088913

OR

−35 sin 60+26 sin 30=−17.31088913

VERTICAL COMPONENTS:
35 sin 30+26 sin 60=40.0166605

OR

35 cos 60+ 26 cos 30=40.0166605

MAGNITUDE:
√(17.3109)2 +( 40.0167)2=43.6005 N
DIRECTION:
−1
tan ( 17.3109
40.017
)=66.60708 °
Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant is 43.6N and 67° to the horizontal (or 23° to
the vertical).

Specific Behaviours
 Horizontal components
 Vertical components
 Magnitude of the resultant
 Direction of the resultant
