Question 35 3

The Moon has a lower gravity than Earth, and there is no atmosphere to cause air resistance, so a
ball would bounce higher and for much longer on the Moon than on Earth.

When a ball is dropped on the Moon each bounce is 95% as high as the previous bounce. When an
identical ball is dropped on Earth each bounce is 50% as high as the previous bounce.

Two identical balls are dropped on the Moon and on Earth, each from a height of two metres.
Calculate the difference in the total vertical distance travelled by these balls.

A new whiteboard is being moved into a classroom. The whiteboard must be taken from the
entrance, through the school’s corridors and into the classroom. Two of the corridors are
perpendicular to each other. The first corridor is 3 metres wide and the second corridor is 4 metres
wide, as shown in the diagram. The length of the whiteboard is shown using 𝐿𝐿.

The whiteboard makes an angle 𝜃𝜃 to the horizontal on the corner of the corridors such that
0 < 𝜃𝜃 < 90.

a) Show that the length of the whiteboard, L, is 2

cos𝜃𝜃 sin𝜃𝜃

Continue to next page.

Page | 28
b) In order to find the maximum possible length of the whiteboard such that it can be carried
around the corner, you must find the angle 𝜽𝜽 that minimises the function 𝑳𝑳 and then use 3
that angle to find that length of the whiteboard. Hence, find that value of theta to the
nearest minute and the length L to the nearest metre.

Question 35 3

The Moon has a lower gravity than Earth, and there is no atmosphere to cause air resistance, so a
ball would bounce higher and for much longer on the Moon than on Earth.

When a ball is dropped on the Moon each bounce is 9 5 % as high as the previous bounce. When an
identical ball is dropped on Earth each bounce is 50% as high as the previous bounce.

Question 36

A new whiteboard is being moved into a classroom. The whiteboard must be taken from the
entrance, through the schoo 1's corridors and into the classroom. Two of the corridors are
perpendicular to each other. The first corridor is 3 metres wide and the second corridor is 4 metres
wide, as shown in the diagram. The length of the whiteboard is shown using L.

 b) In order to find the maximum possible length of the whiteboard such that it can be carried
around the comer, you must find the angle 0 that minimises the function L and then use 3
that angle to find that length of the whiteboard. Hence, find that value of theta to the
nearest minute and the length L to the nearest metre.
