Question 1
A particle P moves along the x-axis. The velocity of P is at time t seconds, where for . When t=0, P is at the origin O .
Sketch a graph of v against t, clearly showing any points of intersection with the axes.
A particle P moves along the x-axis. The velocity of P is v m s−1 at time t seconds, where v(t)=4+4t−3t2 for 0≤t≤3. When t=0, P is at the origin O .
Sketch a graph of v against t, clearly showing any points of intersection with the axes.
valid approach to solve 4+4t−3t2=0 (may be seen in part (a))
(2-t)(2+3 t) OR −6−4±16+48
correct x - intercept on the graph at t=2
correct domain from 0 to 3 starting at (0,4)
vertex in approximately correct place for t=32 and v>4
Note: The following two A marks may only be awarded if the shape is a concave down parabola. These two marks are independent of each other and the (M1).
Note: The 3 must be clearly indicated.
