The velocity v (kms/min) of a train travelling from Epping to Eastwood, is given by , where t is the time in minutes since leaving Epping.
i) If the first stop is at Eastwood, how long does the journey take?
ii) Find an expression for the distance travelled from Epping after time t
iii) Hence find the distance from Epping to Eastwood.
iv) Where and when, between the two stations, was the train travelling the fastest?
The points A, B and C have coordinates (2,0), (1,8) and (8,4) respectively. The angle between the AC and the -axis is .
Copy this diagram
(i) Find the gradient of the line AC.
(ii) Calculate the size of angle to the nearest minute.
(iii) Find the equation of the line AC.
(iv) Find the coordinates of D, the midpoint of AC.
(v0 Show that AC is perpendicular to BD.
The diagram shows a farmhouse F that is located 240m from a straight section of road, at the end of which is the bus depot D. The front gate G of the farmhouse is 3000m from the bus depot. The school bus leaves the depot at 8am and travels along the road at . Peter lives in the farmhouse and can run across the open paddock at a speed of . The bus will stop for Peter anywhere on the road but will not wait. Assume that Peter catches the bus at the point P where .
i) Show that the time, in seconds, taken for the bus to go from D to P is given by
ii) Find an expression, in terms of θ, for the time taken by Peter to run from F to P.
iii) If Peter leaves home T seconds after 8am and he and the bus arrive at P at the same time, show that
iv) What is the latest time, to the nearest second, that Peter can leave home and still catch the bus?
In the diagram AB = BC and CD is perpendicular to AB. CD intersects the -axis at P.
i) Find the length of AB.
ii) Hence show that the co-ordinates of point C are ( 2, 0 ).
iii) Show that the equation of CD is 3 + 4 = 6 .
iv) Show that the co-ordinates of P are .
v) Show that the length of CP is .
vi) Prove that ∆ADP is congruent to ∆COP
vii) Hence calculate the area of the quadrilateral DPOB.
