AS Level Mathematics Predicted Paper 2023 Edexcel Paper 2 – Mechanics and Statistics with correct marking schemes Name ……………………………………………… Date ……………………………………………… 1 hour 15 minutes allowed Calculator Paper Maximum Mark: 60 Grade boundaries These are VERY rough guesses! Getting an A on this paper does not guarantee you the same mark in the exam. • A 65% • B 55% • C 45% • D 40% • E 30% Section A – Mechanics 01 A coach is moving along a straight horizontal road with constant acceleration. The coach is photographed by three cameras, A, B and C on the road. AB = 20m and BC = 180m. The car takes 2s to travel from A to B and 8s to travel from B to C. Find the speed and acceleration of the car as it passes A. [7 marks] 02 Particle X is acted on by two forces: (4i+5j)N and (ai+bj)N The resultant R of these forces is parallel to the vector (i+j). Show that a-b=1 [4 marks] 03 A particle P is moving along a straight line with constant acceleration. Initially the particle is at O. After 8s, P is at point A, where OA = 16m and the velocity of P at A is 6ms-1 in the direction �
