Answer both parts A and B.

A INVESTIGATION MOLECULES (20 marks)

You are advised to spend no more than 45 minutes on this part.

This investigation looks at the number of spheres and rods that you need to make models of molecules.

1 Chemists use small spheres and rods to make models of molecules.

These diagrams show a sequence of molecules of height 1.

Molecule 1 Molecule 2 Molecule 3

(a) Draw the next two molecules in this sequence.

(b) Complete this table for molecules of height 1.

5 (a) A molecule has height h and width w.

For example, Molecule 4 in question 3 has h = 3 and w = 4.

Use your answer to question 4(d) to show that r = 2hw – h − w.

(b) Can a square molecule have 544 rods?

B MODELLING WHERE IS THE HORIZON? (20 marks)

You are advised to spend no more than 45 minutes on this part.

This table shows the distance to the horizon (y kilometres) at different heights above sea level (x metres).

1 (a) On the grid, plot the points given in the table.

The points (2, 5) and (5, 8) have been plotted for you.

(b) The simplest way to model the data is with a straight line.

(i) On the grid, draw the straight line passing through (2, 5) and (5, 8).

Find the equation of this line.

.......................................................................

(ii) Using this model what is the distance to the horizon when at sea level?

2 Another model for the data is y = ax 2 + bx + c .

Assume that, when the height is 0, the distance to the horizon is 0.

(a) Show that c = 0.

(b) When c = 0, the model is y = ax 2 + bx .

(i) Use the point (2, 5) to form an equation in a and b.

.......................................................................

(ii) Use the point (5, 8) to form another equation in a and b.
