One dop of oil is poduced eey.8 s. Oil dops ae left on the oad. The position of the oil dops ae dawn to scale on the gid below such that 1. cm epesents 4. m. The gid stats at time t =. diection of motion 1.cm (a) (i) State the featue of the diagam aboe which indicates that, initially, the ca is acceleating. On the gid aboe, daw futhe dots to show whee oil would hae dipped if the dops had been poduced fom the time when the ca had stated to moe. () (iii) Detemine the distance moed by the ca duing the fist 5.6 s of its motion. (b) Using infomation fom the gid aboe, detemine fo the ca, (i) the final constant speed. () the initial acceleation. 5

(i) Identify the foce acting on the ca, and its line of action, that enables the ca to tun the cone. () Explain why the passenges feel as if they ae being thown outwads. (Total 13 maks) 13. This question is about the kinematics and dynamics of cicula motion. (a) A ca goes ound a cue in a oad at constant speed. Explain why, although its speed is constant, it is acceleating. () 6
