TEA 1-Jan 2022 : Physics Marking Scheme

Question 1 [A= 8 marks]

1a. Tension [A=1]
-1
1b. Acceleration = 4 (ms ) / 2 (s) [A=3]
-2
2 (ms )
ms-2
For 3 marks; correct unit is a must along with correct working.
1c. She will not move [A=2]
(because) the resultant / net / total force is zero
1d. C; The car is moving at constant speed and in the same direction. [A=2]

Question 2 [A=7; D=1]

Q2b. Input: chemical (potential) [A=3]
Useful: kinetic
Waste: thermal / heat or sound
Each correct answer will get you 1 mark
Q2c. Evidence of correct calculation: 290598 (cm) or 2905.98 (m) or 2.90598 (km) [A=2, D=1]
2.90598 or 2.91 (km)
Answer expressed to 3 sig figs: 2.91 (km)
Steps showing calculation and correct answer in km for 2 marks
For 3 mark, correct significant figure
Q2d. A calculation of distance divided by time 2.91/0.5 [A=2]
-1
5.82 (kmh )
Question 3 [A=8 Marks]
-1
Q3a. 109 (kmh ) [A=1]
Q3b. A [A=1]
Q3c. Between 10 and 30 seconds or for 20 seconds [A=3]
the car was moving at a constant velocity/speed
of 20ms-1
Each point has to included for 3 marks
Q3d. Half base x height [A=2]
400 m
Q3e. B [A=1]
Question 5 [ C-15 ]
Q5a. Average of the three readings = 6.4333333
Correctly expressed to two significant figures as 6.4 [2]
Q5b. Current on x axis and (average) mass on y axis
Units correct for current and mass
Evenly spaced increments on both axes
Two points correctly plotted (± 0.1)
All points correctly plotted (± 0.1) [5]
Q5c. Trial 2 at 8.00A
Accept any reasonable suggestion, for example
• the coin was wet so the increase in mass was due to water and nickel
• the coin was left in the solution for too long so the mass was higher than expected
• the temperature was too high so the mass was higher than expected
• there was an error in using the balance [2]
Q5d. As the current increases the mass of nickel coating the coin increases
In a proportional relationship
or
the line of best fit would be a straight line passing through (0,0)
since more ions will travel to the copper coin [3]
Q5e. Invalid
(because) the graph shows a proportional relationship or the graph is not inversely
proportional
Evidence of use of at least two data points to prove proportionality [3]
