M4 June 2005 Q2
2. A cyclist \(P\) is cycling due north at a constant speed of 20 km h\(^{-1}\). At 12 noon another cyclist \(Q\) is due west of \(P\). The speed of \(Q\) is constant at 10 km h\(^{-1}\). Find the course which \(Q\) should set in order to pass as close to \(P\) as possible, giving your answer as a bearing. (5)

| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| Fix \(P\). Vector \(\triangle\) | M1 A1 |
| \(\cos\theta = \dfrac{10}{20}\) | M1 A1 |
| \(\Rightarrow \theta = 060^\circ\) | A1 |
