(FM1) Further mechanics 1 2019

Anyone wanna discuss the paper?
I think it went quite well except for the last question on inequalities on the collision, I couldn't work that one out and got k<-1 lol

What did you guys think?

The paper went ok in general but got stuck on question 4 😥
Idk what to think about it. I answered all the questions but idk if I did them right.

The first show that question got me confused af, It was 4 marks for 1 line of working and I was like surely that can't be it lol
Sameee so i tried to show all the steps but I still don't get how it was 4 marks

was very good tbf, couldn't do that one marker in the end that was just weird so just left it :P
Mechanics :

Q1: easy prove its 400KW
You should get speed V is 10 and another solution was -65 or something but V>0 .

Q2: slope ...... use work energy resolve the 8m etc... get speed 9.3


Q3: you should use impulse momentum restitution and get e= 7/18 or something


Q4: you should get speed of Q after collision 1 is u(1-ke)/k 1 or something ... that had to be negative to collide so 1-ke<0 k>1/e.... forgot expression for part b

these are the answers I got. can anyone tell me if I got any of them wrong

same 7/18 for e

Q2: slope ...... use work energy resolve the 8m etc... go speed should be 9.3


Q3: you should use impulse momentum restitution and get e= 8/17 or something


Q4: you should get speed of Q after collision 1 is u(1-ke)/k+1 or something ... that had to be negative to collide so 1-ke<0 k>1/e.... forgot expression for part b

these are the answers I got. can anyone tell me if I got any of them wrong
yea I may have remembered some of the values wrong

for the 1 marker about the speed after the collision I did a lot of work ... it felt like it was 3-4 marks
feel like it was something that you just had to see but do no working for, it just said write down

Yeah I agree with all of them, I can't remember what I got for 3 but it sounds about right so long as you used the 3 equations coherently you should get most of the marks.

Now that you've explained q4 it all makes sense! I didn't think about it that way at all rip, my statement was V1 > V2 in order for them to collide, but I didn't consider the direction change...

By the sounds of it you probs got all right on that paper good job
Anyone here do fmechanics 2
marks for each q?

yeah how did u find it
q2 was 13 and q4 was 10 for sure, the first might've been 8 then the second 9, not sure though, has to add to 40 either way

I probably took the long way... maybe a pattern or some sort cos they say mass of the other ball is Km so i think i apply the formula from part a using different speeds idk
really don't know mate, as i said i just left it cuz i thought time would be better spent elsewhere

Thanks for the compliment

My friend also did that same mistake for the range of k ... if you got the speed of the ball then you probably got 8/9 marks. I did do a big mistake on the fp1 paper. I said tan x =3 has no solutions and lost some solutions to some t formula question.
