PAPER 22: Mechanics
You must have: Total Marks
Mathematical Formulae and Statistical Tables (Green), calculator
Candidates may use any calculator allowed by Pearson regulations.
Calculators must not have the facility for symbolic algebra manipulation,
differentiation and integration, or have retrievable mathematical formulae
stored in them.
Instructions
Use black ink or ball‑point pen.
If pencil is used for diagrams/sketches/graphs it must be dark (HB or B).
• Fill in the boxes at the top of this page with your name,
centre number and candidate number.
• Answer all questions and ensure that your answers to parts of questions are clearly
labelled.
• Answer the questions in the spaces provided
– there may be more space than you need.
• You should show sufficient working to make your methods clear.
Answers without working may not gain full credit.
• Unless otherwise indicated, wherever a value of g is required, take g = 9.8 m s–2 and
give your answer to either 2 significant figures or 3 significant figures.
Information
A booklet ‘Mathematical Formulae and Statistical Tables’ is provided.
The total mark for this part of the examination is 30. There are 4 questions.
• The marks for each question are shown in brackets
– use this as a guide as to how much time to spend on each question.
