2 1 A car of mass 1200 kg travels on a horizontal straight road with constant acceleration a m s−2. (i) Given that the car’s speed increases from 10 m s−1 to 25 m s−1 while travelling a distance of 525 m, find the value of a. [2] The car’s engine exerts a constant driving force of 900 N. The resistance to motion of the car is constant and equal to R N. (ii) Find R. [2] 2 A motorcyclist starts from rest at A and travels in a straight line until he comes to rest again at B. The velocity of the motorcyclist t seconds after leaving A is v m s−1, where v = t −0.01t2. Find (i) the time taken for the motorcyclist to travel from A to B, [2] (ii) the distance AB. [3] 3 A particle P is in equilibrium on a smooth horizontal table under the action of horizontal forces of magnitudes F N, F N, G N and 12 N acting in the directions shown.

3 4 The diagram shows the velocity-time graph for the motion of a small stone which falls vertically from rest at a point A above the surface of liquid in a container. The downward velocity of the stone t s after leaving A is v m s−1. The stone hits the surface of the liquid with velocity 7 m s−1 when t = 0.7. It reaches the bottom of the container with velocity 5 m s−1 when t = 1.2. (i) Find (a) the height of A above the surface of the liquid, (b) the depth of liquid in the container. [3] (ii) Find the deceleration of the stone while it is moving in the liquid. [2] (iii) Given that the resistance to motion of the stone while it is moving in the liquid has magnitude 0.7 N, find the mass of the stone. [3] 5 Particles P and Q are attached to opposite ends of a light inextensible string. P is at rest on a rough horizontal table. The string passes over a small smooth pulley which is fixed at the edge of the table. Q hangs vertically below the pulley (see diagram). The force exerted on the string by the pulley has magnitude 4 √2 N. The coefficient of friction between P and the table is 0.8. (i) Show that the tension in the string is 4 N and state the mass of Q. [2] (ii) Given that P is on the point of slipping, find its mass. [2] A particle of mass 0.1 kg is now attached to Q and the system starts to move. (iii) Find the tension in the string while the particles are in motion. [4] © UCLES 2006 9709/04/M/J/06 [Turn over

4 6 A block of mass 50 kg is pulled up a straight hill and passes through points A and B with speeds 7 m s−1 and 3 m s−1 respectively. The distance AB is 200 m and B is 15 m higher than A. For the motion of the block from A to B, find (i) the loss in kinetic energy of the block, [2] (ii) the gain in potential energy of the block. [2] The resistance to motion of the block has magnitude 7.5 N. (iii) Find the work done by the pulling force acting on the block. [2] The pulling force acting on the block has constant magnitude 45 N and acts at an angle α◦upwards from the hill. (iv) Find the value of α. [3] 7 Two particles P and Q move on a line of greatest slope of a smooth inclined plane. The particles start at the same instant and from the same point, each with speed 1.3 m s−1. Initially P moves down the plane and Q moves up the plane. The distance between the particles t seconds after they start to move is d m. (i) Show that d = 2.6t. [4] When t = 2.5 the difference in the vertical height of the particles is 1.6 m. Find (ii) the acceleration of the particles down the plane, [3] (iii) the distance travelled by P when Q is at its highest point.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS GCE Advanced Level and GCE Advanced Subsidiary Level MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2006 question paper 9709 MATHEMATICS 9709/04 Paper 4 Maximum raw mark 50 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were initially instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began. Any substantial changes to the mark scheme that arose from these discussions will be recorded in the published Report on the Examination. All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the Report on the Examination. The minimum marks in these components needed for various grades were previously published with these mark schemes, but are now instead included in the Report on the Examination for this session. • CIE will not enter into discussion or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2006 question papers for most IGCSE and GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses.

Mark Scheme Notes Marks are of the following three types: M Method mark, awarded for a valid method applied to the problem. Method marks are not lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. Correct application of a formula without the formula being quoted obviously earns the M mark and in some cases an M mark can be implied from a correct answer. A Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated method mark is earned (or implied). B Mark for a correct result or statement independent of method marks. • When a part of a question has two or more "method" steps, the M marks are generally independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly when there are several B marks allocated. The notation DM or DB (or dep*) is used to indicate that a particular M or B mark is dependent on an earlier M or B (asterisked) mark in the scheme. When two or more steps are run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit is given. • The symbol √ implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A or B marks are given for correct work only. A and B marks are not given for fortuitously "correct" answers or results obtained from incorrect working. • Note: B2 or A2 means that the candidate can earn 2 or 0. B2/1/0 means that the candidate can earn anything from 0 to 2. The marks indicated in the scheme may not be subdivided. If there is genuine doubt whether a candidate has earned a mark, allow the candidate the benefit of the doubt. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored. • Wrong or missing units in an answer should not lead to the loss of a mark unless the scheme specifically indicates otherwise. • For a numerical answer, allow the A or B mark if a value is obtained which is correct to 3 s.f., or which would be correct to 3 s.f. if rounded (1 d.p. in the case of an angle). As stated above, an A or B mark is not given if a correct numerical answer arises fortuitously from incorrect working. For Mechanics questions, allow A or B marks for correct answers which arise from taking g equal to 9.8 or 9.81 instead of 10.

The following abbreviations may be used in a mark scheme or used on the scripts: AEF Any Equivalent Form (of answer is equally acceptable) AG Answer Given on the question paper (so extra checking is needed to ensure that the detailed working leading to the result is valid) BOD Benefit of Doubt (allowed when the validity of a solution may not be absolutely clear) CAO Correct Answer Only (emphasising that no "follow through" from a previous error is allowed) CWO Correct Working Only - often written by a ‘fortuitous' answer ISW Ignore Subsequent Working MR Misread PA Premature Approximation (resulting in basically correct work that is insufficiently accurate) SOS See Other Solution (the candidate makes a better attempt at the same question) SR Special Ruling (detailing the mark to be given for a specific wrong solution, or a case where some standard marking practice is to be varied in the light of a particular circumstance) Penalties MR -1 A penalty of MR -1 is deducted from A or B marks when the data of a question or part question are genuinely misread and the object and difficulty of the question remain unaltered. In this case all A and B marks then become "follow through √" marks. MR is not applied when the candidate misreads his own figures - this is regarded as an error in accuracy. An MR-2 penalty may be applied in particular cases if agreed at the coordination meeting. PA -1 This is deducted from A or B marks in the case of premature approximation. The PA -1 penalty is usually discussed at the meeting.
