Hi Mr M

I appreciate you uploading the answers however the distance is 130m

s=(u+v)/2 x t
s=13x10
s=130

you could check this using
s=ut+0.5at^2
s=100+30
s=130

Hmm... distance was using formula, s = ut + 0.5 at^2
Initial velocity and time were both 10. a was 0.6 and t was 10 again.

So 100 + 30 = 130m?

Could you please explain the bearing one to me, as I couldn't work out how to get it

This is correct - I was using u = 16 for some reason which explains the error.

The bearing one is hard to explain without a diagram but you can draw a line at port C pointing East then you will see a pair of alternate angles.

Add on 90 degs to get from North to East and you are home.

Wait so was it a minimum or a maximum?

Also thank you very much for posting this+posting updates, much appreciated. Your pupils must love you.

Do you think the bearing would have been only one mark out of the question, or more.

Minimum - the original post is now corrected.

Do you think the bearing would have been only one mark out of the question, or more.

could you just say that the gradient IS 32... do you have to say it is close to 32...??

11. Shaded region

(i) 2y = x + 6 (5 marks)

(ii) (3, 4.5) (3 marks)

(iii) Area = 125/12 (4 marks)

Why can't I rep you more than once!?

For question 12 do you know what values you got for a and b in the simultaneous equations part? I'm pretty sure I got a= 1/20 b=1
This was a hard paper not gonna lie

Yes it IS 32 when h becomes infinitesimally small.

Could you check question 11 please ...just did some working out for the first part, and got exactly the same answer I did in the exam...did I copy down the question wrong or something?

No offence but your collection of shiny red gems means your rep isn't worth having!

Sorry, I didn't know giving rep was also based on your own rep, I just thought it was general.

Referring to my negative rep>I don't speak diplomatically because I don't look for respect from an anonymous crowd. I'm not just mean
