Particles P and Q have masses 2kg and 5kg respectively. The particles are initially held at rest 3m apart on the same line of greatest slope of a rough plane. The plane is inclined at an angle α to the horizontal, where sinα=0.28 (see diagram). The coefficient of friction between P and the plane and the coefficient of friction between Q and the plane are both 0.2.
Particle P is projected directly towards Q with speed 8ms−1. At the same instant, Q is projected directly towards P with speed ums−1. The particles collide 0.25s after they are projected.
(a) Show that the acceleration of P is 0.88ms−2, and find the value of u.

(b) When the particles collide, P rebounds up the plane, and Q rebounds down the plane with speed 0.5ms−1.
Find the distance that P travels from the point of collision, until it comes to instantaneous rest.
质点 P 以 8ms−1 的速率直接朝 Q 发射。在同一瞬间,Q 以 ums−1 的速率直接朝 P 发射。两质点在发射后 0.25s 发生碰撞。
(a) 证明 P 的加速度为 0.88ms−2,并求 u 的值。

(b) 两质点碰撞时,P 沿斜面向上反弹,Q 以 0.5ms−1 的速率沿斜面向下反弹。
求 P 从碰撞点起至瞬时静止所运动的路程。
