PAPER 22: Mechanics
Candidates may use any calculator allowed by Pearson regulations. Calculators
must not have the facility for symbolic algebra manipulation, differentiation and
integration, or have retrievable mathematical formulae stored in them.
Instructions
• If pencil is used for diagrams/sketches/graphs it must be dark (HB or B).
• Answer all questions and ensure that your answers to parts of questions are clearly labelled.
– there may be more space than you need.
You should show sufficient working to make your methods clear. Answers without
working may not gain full credit.
Unless otherwise indicated, wherever a value of g is required, take g = 9.8 m s –2 and give
your answer to either 2 significant figures or 3 significant figures.
• The total mark for this part of the examination is 30. There are 4 questions.
– use this as a guide as to how much time to spend on each question.
• Read each question carefully before you start to answer it.
• Check your answers if you have time at the end.

Figure 1
Figure 1 shows the speed-time graph for the journey of a car moving in a long queue of
traffic on a straight horizontal road.
At time t = 0, the car is at rest at the point A.
The car then accelerates uniformly for 5 seconds until it reaches a speed of 5 ms1
For the next 15 seconds the car travels at a constant speed of 5 ms1
The car then decelerates uniformly until it comes to rest at the point B.
The total journey time is 30 seconds.
(a) Find the distance AB.

(b) Sketch a distance-time graph for the journey of the car from A to B.
