C3 Edexcel Core Mathematics June 2013 Question 8
- Kate crosses a road, of constant width 7 m, in order to take a photograph of a marathon runner, John, approaching at 3 m s–1.
Kate is 24 m ahead of John when she starts to cross the road from the fixed point A. John passes her as she reaches the other side of the road at a variable point B, as shown in Figure 2.
Kate’s speed is Vm s–1 and she moves in a straight line, which makes an angle θ, 0 < θ < 150°, with the edge of the road, as shown in Figure 2.
You may assume that V is given by the formula
(a) Express 24sin θ + 7cos θ in the form Rcos(θ – α ), where R and α are constants and where R > 0 and 0 < θ < 90°, giving the value of to 2 decimal places.
Given that θ varies,
(b) find the minimum value of V.
Given that Kate’s speed has the value found in part (b),
(c) find the distance AB.
Given instead that Kate’s speed is 1.68 m s–1,
(d) find the two possible values of the angle θ, given that 0 < θ < 150°.
- (b)
- (c)
