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
•• Use black ink or ball-point pen.
If pencil is used for diagrams/sketches/graphs it must be dark (HB or B).

,1. A car of mass 1000 kg moves along a straight horizontal road at a constant
speed U ms1 . The engine of the car is working at a rate of 20 kW.
DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA
The total resistance to the motion of the car is modelled as a constant force of
magnitude 1600 N.
Using the model,
(a) find the value of U.
(3)
Later on, the car moves down a straight road which is inclined to the horizontal at an
1
angle α, where sin α =
49
The total resistance to the motion of the car is again modelled as a constant
force of magnitude 1600 N.
At the instant when the engine of the car is working at a rate of 20 kW and the speed of
the car is 8 m s−1, the acceleration of the car is a m s−2
Using the model,

(b) find the value of a.
(4)
(c) State one improvement to the model that would make it more realistic.
