vector question and question 10 were really somethin i never expected that it would come in exams. i never saw questions like these in past papers but the last question was really so easy and simple but due to exam stress and time i couldn't manage to solve it even though after i got back home i found it was easy 10 marks to get in this paper -_-..my luck :/ but i hope god be with us and improves my grade..pray for me guys, please :) what about u ?

Question 3 i dont understand how it can be solve
The mark scheme made all step but i dont know y it changed sin(90-a) and cos(90-a) to sin(a) and cos(a)
Pleaze answer my doubt and give clear explanation
bro this is a rule in trig that sin (90-theta) is cos theta and cos(90-theta) is sin theta
check in the calc sin ( 90-30) = cos 30 or not to prove the rule is correct!

(i) R = mgcosθ
R = 10m cos 21
R = 9.336m

while the particle is going upward u have 2 forces acting opposite to its direction of motion...first the component of the weight and F
F = ma

lets find the acceleration of the particle
v = u + at
0 = 10-2a
a= -5

-mgsin-F = -5m
-10msin 21 - F = -5m
F = 1.416m

(ii) F = μR
μ = 1.416/9.336
μ = 0.152

(iii) while the particle is traveling downward only F is acting against the direction of motion
mgsinθ - F = ma
10msin21 - 1.416m = ma
a = 2.17 ms^-2

lets find the distance it moved ( note the distance moved from P to the highest point is the same distance it moved while it is goin back to P ) so,

s = 1/2(v + u)t
s = 1/2(10)(2)
s= 10m

v^2 = u^2 + 2as
v= √(0 + 2(2.17)(10))
v = 6.58 ms^-1




Hey thanks a lot for your time.. but i didn't get one thing.. why is it - mgsinθ - F = m* (-a)
i get that a is negative 5 or -5 so we write "-ma" but why the - sign in mgsinθ ???

ya and sin(90+θ)= cos(θ) and cos(90+θ) = -sin(θ)
by the way, you can find these in the syllabus aims or in the CIE Mathematics Learner Guide.. I'm sorry i'm not sure which one it is.
You can check out this learner's guide by CIE if you want.

i already said y it is -mgsintheta because this force is acting OPPOSITE to the direction of the motion. u got it ?
