Fig. 1.1 Fig. 1.2 Ball X has a mass of 4.0 kg and a velocity of 4.2 m s−1 in a direction at angle θ to a line AB. Ball Y has a mass of 2.8 kg and a velocity of 6.0 m s−1 in a direction at angle θ to a line AB. The balls collide and stick together. After colliding, the balls have a velocity of 3.7 m s −1 along the line AB on the horizontal surface, as shown in Fig. 1.2. The duration of collision is 3.0 ms.

[2] (b) The p – V diagram in Fig. 2.1 shows one cycle of changes applied to a fixed mass of gas in a petrol engine. Fig. 2.1 The cycle starts at A with the gas at a volume of 2.0 10−3 m3, temperature of 200 K and pressure of 1.5 105 Pa. From A to B, when it is compressed to a volume of 0.45 10−3 m3, the pressure and temperature rises to 12 105 Pa and 360 K respectively.

[1] (b) A needle-carrier is used in a sewing machine to constrain the movement of the needle to a vertical line only. Low friction guides are used to achieve this. The simple harmonic motion of the needle-carrier is produced by a rotating disc carrying a peg which moves in a circle and engages with a slot attached to the needle carrier, as shown in Fig. 3.1 below. Fig. 3.1 (i) Show that the angular speed of the disc's circular motion that results in the peg having an oscillation frequency of 12 Hz is 75 rad s−1.
