Show that $\frac{dv}{dt} = 2t - 5e^{-t}$.
Given that $v = 8$ when $t = 1$, express $v$ as a function of $t$.
Find the speed of projection of $P$.
This 7-mark question has a full step-by-step worked solution and mark scheme. One marking point: “Uses Newton’s Second Law horizontally: $0.4\dfrac{dv}{dt} = 0.8t - 2e^{-t}$” …
