[Figure 12.1] The diagram shows the velocity-time graph of a particle P that travels 2775 m in 90s, reaching a final velocity of V ms⁻¹.

  1. (a)(i)Find the value of V.[3]
  2. (a)(ii)Write down the acceleration of P when t = 40.[1]
  3. (b)(i)The acceleration, a ms⁻², of a particle Q travelling in a straight line, is given by a = 6 cos 2t at time ts. When t = 0 the particle is at point O and is travelling with a velocity of 10ms⁻¹. Find the velocity of Q at time t.[3]
  4. (b)(ii)Find the displacement of Q from O at time t.[3]

Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2020). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. M1 for attempt to find the area under the graph
  2. Dep M1 on previous M mark for attempt to equate to 2775 and simplify in order to find V or V - 30
  3. A1 55
  4. B1 0
  5. M1 Must have ±3 sin 2t
  6. M1 Dep for attempt to find +c,
  7. A1 v = 3 sin 2t +10
  8. M1 For attempt to integrate their v, must have ±3/2 cos2t
  9. M1 Dep on previous M mark for attempt to find d.
  10. A1 s = -3/2 cos 2t +10t + 3/2
