Calculators must not have the facility for symbolic algebra manipulation, differentiation and integration, or have retrievable mathematical formulas stored in them. Instructions to Candidates In the boxes on the answer book, write the name of the examining body (Edexcel), your centre number, candidate number, the unit title (Mechanics M1), the paper reference (6677), your surname, other name and signature. Whenever a numerical value of g is required, take g = 9.8 m s(2. When a calculator is used, the answer should be given to an appropriate degree of accuracy. Information for Candidates A booklet ‘Mathematical Formulae and Statistical Tables’ is provided. Full marks may be obtained for answers to ALL questions. There are 8 questions in this question paper. The total mark for this paper is 75. Advice to Candidates You must ensure that your answers to parts of questions are clearly labelled. You must show sufficient working to make your methods clear to the Examiner. Answers without working may gain no credit. 1. Two particles P and Q have mass 0.4 kg and 0.6 kg respectively. The particles are initially at rest on a smooth horizontal table. Particle P is given an impulse of magnitude 3?N?s in the direction PQ. (a) Find the speed of P immediately before it collides with Q. (3) Immediately after the collision between P and Q, the speed of Q is 5 m s–1. (b) Show that immediately after the collision P is at rest. (3) 2. At time t = 0, a particle is projected vertically upwards with speed u m s–1 from a point 10?m above the ground. At time T seconds, the particle hits the groun
