Mark Scheme – Task 2

Question 1

From the initial position of car 2, car 1 travels a distance.

d = vt, 
and car 2 travels the same distance, but given by
d = (1/2)at2
Now,  v = 20 m/s a = 2 m/s2
 Hence,
(1/2)at2 = vt → t = 2v/a
t = 2v/a = 2(20)/2 s = 20 s

Question 2

Question 3
−2 −1
a=9 .8 ms down v 1=0 ms Δs v=40 m Δt=?

(a) The time it takes the object to reach the ground.

Δs v =v 1 t+ 1 2 at 2
40=0+ 1 2×9 .8×t 2
40
t 2= =8 .16
4.9
t=2 . 86 s
(b) The horizontal distance from the base of the wall to the landing point.

Δs h =v h×t
Δs h =30×2. 86
Δs h =85 . 8 m

(c) The time when the object passes a window 25m above the ground.

Δs=15 m a=9. 8ms-2 v 1 =0 ms−1 Δt=?

Δs=v 1 t+ 2 at 2

t 2=
4.9
t=1 .75 s
(d) The objects height above the ground after 2 seconds.

Consider only the vertical component

Δs=0+ 1 2 ×9 . 8×22
Δs=4 . 9×4
Δs=19 . 6 m
Question 4

Initially: constant acceleration

Decreasing acceleration followed by constant velocity

Question 5

(a) (i) The ball has bounced Or the ball would be below initial height Or the ball has landed before reaching the goal
Or the ball has hit the ground.

(ii) Correct shape of at least one trajectory, starting at the kick and ending at/beyond the goal. Range/position of the
higher angle > range/position of lower angle ball seen with paths labelled.

(b) Use of (uH) = u cos15o = 26 cos 150 = 25.1 ms-1

d 11
t= = = 0.44s
v 25.1
Use of (uV) = u sin150 = 6.7 m s−1

Use of s = ut + ½ at2 (a must be negative)

s = (6.7 m s−1)0.44 s) + (½) (–9.81 N kg−1)(0.44 s)2

s = 2.01 m

The height of the ball on reaching the goal is 2.01 m. This is less than 2.4 m and the goal will be scored.
