Calculus Test For Wedensday 003

This document is a mathematics assessment for a DP2 course consisting of 7 questions testing various calculus and modeling skills. It provides instructions to candidates regarding units, calculators, and maximum marks. The first question involves using the trapezoidal rule and integrals to calculate and compare the cross-sectional area of a scale model hill. The second question uses related rates to model an airplane's distance from a tracking station over time. The third question finds the volume of revolution of two intersecting curves using integrals.

The cross section of a scale model of a hill is modelled by the following graph.

The heights of the model are measured at horizontal intervals and are given in the table.

Horizontal distance, 𝐱 cm 0 10 20 30 40

Vertical distance, 𝐲 cm 0 3 8 9 0

(a) Use the trapezoidal rule with ℎ = 10 to find an approximation for the cross-sectional area of
the model.

[2]

It is given that the equation of the curve is 𝑦 = 0.04𝑥 2 − 0.001𝑥 3 , 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 40.

(b.i) Write down an integral to find the exact cross-sectional area. [1]

(b.ii) Calculate the value of the cross-sectional area to two decimal places. [1]

(c) Find the percentage error in the area found using the trapezoidal rule. [2]

An airplane, 𝑃, is flying at a constant altitude of 3000 𝑚 at a speed of 250 𝑚 𝑠 −1 . Its path passes
over a tracking station, 𝑆, at ground level. Let 𝑄 be the point 3000 𝑚 directly above the tracking
station.

At a particular time, 𝑇, as the airplane is flying towards 𝑄, the angle of elevation, 𝜃, of the
airplane from 𝑆 is increasing at a rate of 0.075 radians per second. The distance from 𝑄 to 𝑃 is
given by 𝑥.

𝑑𝑥 10 000
(a) Use related rates to show that, at time 𝑇, 𝑑𝜃 = 3
. [2]

(b) Find 𝑥(𝜃), 𝑥 as a function of 𝜃. [1]

𝑑𝑥
(c) Find an expression for in terms of sin 𝜃. [3]
𝑑𝜃

(d) Hence find the horizontal distance from the station to the plane at time 𝑇. [3]

The following diagram shows parts of the curves of 𝑦 = cos 𝑥 and 𝑦 = 2
.

𝑃 is the point of intersection of the two curves.

(a) Use your graphic display calculator to find the coordinates of 𝑃. [2]

The shaded region is rotated 360° about the y-axis to form a volume of revolution V.

(b) Express 𝑉 as the sum of two definite integrals. [5]

(c) Hence find the value of 𝑉.

The cross-section of a beach is modelled by the equation 𝑦 = 0.02𝑥 2 for

0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 10 where 𝑦 is the height of the beach (in metres) at a horizontal distance 𝑥 metres
from an origin. 𝑡 is the time in hours after low tide.

At 𝑡 = 0 the water is at the point (0, 0). The height of the water rises at a rate of 0.2 metres per
hour. The point W(𝑥(𝑡), 𝑦(𝑡)) indicates where the water level meets the beach at time 𝑡.

(a) When W has an x-coordinate equal to 1, find the horizontal component of the

velocity of W. [2]

A snail is modelled as a single point. At 𝑡 = 0 it is positioned at (1, 0.02). The snail travels away
from the incoming water at a speed of 1 metre per hour in the direction along the curve of the
cross-section of the beach. The following diagram shows this for a value of 𝑡, such that 𝑡 > 0.

(b) Find the time taken for the snail to reach the point (10, 2).
