Section B CLASS :
EXAMPLE 1
Diagram 1
Modifications/characteristics Explanation
Far gap distance between tractor and trailer To prevent collisions between the trailer & the
tractor / to reduce impulsive force
The load of lorry should be divide into several Does not shake easily / to increase stability
small tanks
Use ABS/air brake Lorry does not stop immediately / lorry does not
skid / prevent lorry spinning on wet surface
Use many tyres Can support heavy load / avoid major damage
to the road / high surface area produce low
pressure
Small belt behind lorry To discharge spark / to flow the charges to the
ground / to avoid burning the petrol
*any reasonable ideas can be accepted
EXAMPLE 2
Diagram 2
Modifications/characteristics Explanation
Springs are made of steel Stiffer / can withstand higher force
Spring coil is made from thicker wire More stiff / do not break easily
Spring coil has smaller diameter To increase the stiffness/ small and easy to
handle
Springs are arranged in parallel Less extension/ less elastic/ need greater force
to extend the spring
Two ends of the springs are tied loosely to a longer To prevent the springs from being extended
inextensible cord beyond the elastic limit/ to protect the user if the
springs break/ avoid from injuries
*any reasonable ideas can be accepted

P
Explain the suitability of the aspects and determine the most suitable car. Give reasons for the choice.
[10 marks]
Characteristics Explanation
Small mass of car Easy to handle
High melting point of metal used in car engine The engine does not melt although the energy
produce by combustion is high
The change in velocity per unit time is high Produce high acceleration // car moves faster in
short time
The braking distance is short The car can be stopped in the shortest possible
time
The best choice is S Because the mass is small, the melting point of
metal of engine is high, the change in velocity
per unit time is high and the braking distance is
short.
