This paper has THREE sections. You should attempt ALL questions in
Sections A and B, and TWO questions from Section C.
Section A carries 40% of the marks. It has 20 computer marked questions, each
worth 2%.
Section B carries 36% of the marks. It has 6 questions, each worth 6%.
Section C carries 24% of the marks. It has 3 questions, each worth 12%, of
which you should attempt two.
For Section A, mark your answers on the computer marked examination (CME)
form provided, using an HB pencil. Instructions for lling in the CME form are
given overleaf. The assignment number for this examination is MST125 81.
Write your rough work in the answer book(s) provided. It will not be considered
by the examiners.
For Sections B and C, write your answers in pen in the answer book(s)
provided. Start your answer to each question on a new page. Include all your
working. Do not cross out any work until you have written a new attempt.
At the end of the examination
Make sure that you have completed Part 1 of the CME form, and written
your personal identier and your examination number on each answer book
used. Failure to do so will mean that your work cannot be identified.
Make sure that you have entered one answer (A, B, C, D or E) against each
of questions 120 in Part 2 of the CME form.
Attach your signed desk record to the front of your answer book(s) using the
round paper fastener, then attach the CME form and your question paper to
the back of the answer book(s) using the at paperclip.
It is important that the flat paper clip is used with the CME form
since the computer cannot read CME forms with punched holes.

A scene in a lm involves a motorcyclist riding o a cli edge and over a river.
Assume that at the instant the motorcyclist leaves the cli edge, he is 8 m above
the river, his speed is V m s1 and he is travelling in an upwards direction,
making an angle of 15 with the horizontal. Take the origin to be vertically below
the edge of the cli and on the surface of the river. Take the y-axis to point
vertically upwards from the origin and the x-axis to point horizontally from the
origin across the river, as shown below.

and that the only force acting on it is its weight. Take the magnitude of the
acceleration due to gravity to be g = 9.8 m s2 .
