1. Two particles, P and Q, have masses 2m and 3m respectively. They are moving towards
each other, in opposite directions, along the same straight line, on a smooth horizontal
plane. The particles collide. Immediately before they collide the speed of P is 2u and the
(b) State whether the direction of motion of P has been reversed by the collision.

Figure 1
A plank AB has length 8m and mass 12 kg. The plank rests on two supports. One support
is at C, where AC = 3 m and the other support is at D, where AD = x metres. A block of
mass 3 kg is placed on the plank at B, as shown in Figure 1. The plank rests in equilibrium
in a horizontal position. The magnitude of the force exerted on the plank by the support at
D is twice the magnitude of the force exerted on the plank by the support at C. The plank
is modelled as a uniform rod and the block is modelled as a particle.

Figure 3
Two particles P and Q have masses 2kg and 3kg respectively. The particles are attached
to the ends of a light inextensible string. The string passes over a smooth light pulley
which is fixed at the top of a rough plane. The plane is inclined to horizontal ground at
3
an angle Į, where tan Į . Initially P is held at rest on the inclined plane with the
4
part of the string from P to the pulley parallel to a line of greatest slope of the plane. The
particle Q hangs freely below the pulley at a height of 0.5m above the ground, as shown in
Figure 3. The coefficient of friction between P and the plane is ȝ. The system is released
from rest, with the string taut, and Q strikes the ground before P reaches the pulley. The
speed of Q at the instant when it strikes the ground is 1.4 m s–1.
