. Many candidates knew exactly what to do here and there were a good nuber of fully correct solutions. Part (a) required a standard technique which ost candidates followed successfully to the given answer. It was pleasing to see the steps required were clearly set out. A few were unable to ake a correct start and then attepted to fudge the given answer. Many copletely correct solutions to part were seen. Most were able to find the correct Integrating Factor, solve the differential equation correctly, reeber the constant and use initial conditions to find v correctly. Soe candidates attepted to put in the initial conditions at the start before attepting to solve their differential equation, a costly error, as this lost the all of the arks in this part of the question.. The ajority of candidates recognise that they ust start variable ass questions by considering the change in oentu over a sall tie interval (in this question the change in oentu was zero!). They ust put the total ass at the beginning of the interval as and that of the rocket at the end of the interval as + δ (in the case of rocket questions, δ is negative). Candidates who siply try to eorise the solution to one version of this question and then try to adapt it are alost invariably unsuccessful. Although a significant nuber struggled with the first part, there was ore success with part. The easiest ethod was to use the chain rule to split up /, but soe candidates successfully integrated the result fro part (a) by separating the variables and then differentiating the result with respect to t.. In order to gain all of the arks in part (a), it was necessary to consider the change in oentu in a tie δt. Soe candidates obviously consider this to be a standard piece of bookwork, whereas others are clearly trying to work it out in the exa, in soe cases considering M 0 to be the ass at a general tie t. Candidates trying to use the given answer to correct their signs should beware of altering the wrong ones! Edexcel Internal Review 4
In part, any candidates gave the very siple explanation involving the acceleration at tie t = 0 being positive. Others considered the general expression for acceleration and struggled to produce the given inequality. Most candidates were successful with part (c). 4. Candidates who were successful in part (a) could either consider the change of oentu in a tie δt or else use Newton s Second Law and consider the rate of change of oentu i.e. d( v). Soe candidates tried to do this part fro eory, often apparently considering the alternative proble of a rocket ejecting fuel. Other difficulties included taking as t or else putting U in the general equation for v and t. Part was usually successfully done, ostly by separating the variables. Many candidates argued part (c) correctly, but others copared appropriate values of t or or v but did not then state any conclusion. 5. Candidates who attepted part (a) of this question fro first principles were often successful, with the possible exception of their signs. Those who tried to fit it to a solution that they had et before had probles, often caused by the inclusion of an ipulse ter which should not have been there. Many candidates gained four arks for the second part of the question, starting fro the printed answer but issing out the subtraction of the final ass fro M. Soe however worked with the answer that they had obtained for part (a). Others got confused over which speed went with which tie and often introduced a speed of zero. 6. This was found to be reasonable straightforward as a question on variable ass. The derivation of the given differential equation was generally good with nearly all correctly considering a sall tie interval appropriately. Parts and (c) were also generally well done. In ost cases, the question proved to be a good source of arks. 7. In part (a), any candidates proved the result correctly, deriving the result fro first principles as required. Those who did not either oitted ters or confused signs, writing δ instead of (-δ) and / = (but then writing = M t since that was in the given answer) In part, since the differential equation was given, candidates were able to progress and the standard of integration was pleasing, with any correct solutions seen. 8. This was for the ost part done extreely well. It was very pleasing to see the derivation of the equation of otion done fro first principles accurately (with the δ ter having the correct sign). Also the solution of the differential equation in part was also generally done fully accurately. Edexcel Internal Review 5
9. The derivation of the differential equation was often very good, with the ajority of candidates working, often successfully, fro first principles. In part which was well answered by any of the candidates who had a correct strategy, a significant nuber of candidates ade it uch harder for theselves by not substituting for and k iediately. Soe candidates, too, used an integrating factor approach to solve the differential equation; in this case leaving and k ade it quite a challenge but it was good to see soe succeed. 0.
