FURTHER MATHEMATICS
Paper 2 Mechanics
Friday 17 May 2024 Afternoon Time allowed: 1 hour 30 minutes
Materials
For Examiner’s Use
You must have the AQA Formulae and statistical tables booklet for
A‑ level Mathematics and A‑ level Further Mathematics. Question Mark
You should have a graphical or scientific calculator that meets the
requirements of the specification. 1
You must ensure you have the other optional Question Paper/Answer Book
for which you are entered (either Discrete or Statistics). You will have 2
1 hour 30 minutes to complete both papers.

Instructions
Use black ink or black ball‑ point pen. Pencil should only be used for drawing.
4
Fill in the boxes at the top of this page.
5
Answer all questions.
You must answer each question in the space provided for that question.
6
If you require extra space for your answer(s), use the lined pages at the end
of this book. Write the question number against your answer(s). 7
Do not write outside the box around each page or on blank pages.
Show all necessary working; otherwise marks for method may be lost. 8
Do all rough work in this book. Cross through any work that you do not want
to be marked. 9
Information TOTAL
The marks for questions are shown in brackets.
The maximum mark for this paper is 40.
Advice
Unless stated otherwise, you may quote formulae, without proof, from the booklet.
You do not necessarily need to use all the space provided.
,Key areas:
1. Kinematics:
Equations of Motion: Familiarize yourself with the SUVAT equations for constant acceleration,
including how to solve for displacement, velocity, and time.
Projectile Motion: Understand the motion of objects under gravity, both horizontally and vertically.
Know how to apply kinematic equations to projectiles, considering horizontal and vertical components
separately.
2. Forces and Newton’s Laws:
Force Diagrams: Be able to draw and interpret free-body diagrams to represent forces acting on a
body.
Newton’s Laws of Motion: Understand Newton’s first, second, and third laws and apply them to
solve problems involving forces and motion.
Friction: Know how to calculate and apply frictional forces, both static and kinetic, and their effect on
motion.
3. Work, Energy, and Power:
Work-Energy Theorem: Understand the relationship between work done, kinetic energy, and potential
energy.
Conservation of Energy: Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy in problems
involving kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.
Power: Understand the concept of power, including the relationship between work done and time, and
how to calculate power in mechanical systems.
4. Momentum:
Linear Momentum: Understand the definition of momentum and how to calculate it, including the
principle of conservation of momentum in collisions.
Elastic and Inelastic Collisions: Learn the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions and how
to solve problems involving momentum in both types of collisions.
5. Circular Motion:
Centripetal Force: Understand centripetal acceleration and centripetal force, and be able to solve
problems involving circular motion, including motion of objects in a horizontal or vertical circle.
Angular Velocity and Period: Know the relationship between angular velocity, period, and frequency,
and how to apply these in problems involving rotating bodies.
6. Statics and Dynamics of Particles:
Equilibrium of Forces: Apply the principles of equilibrium to solve problems involving forces acting on
a particle or body at rest (e.g., resolving forces and setting up equilibrium equations).
Dynamic Problems: Solve problems where forces cause motion, using Newton’s laws or the work-
energy principle.
