(acceleration =) 6.1 (-0) / 0.62
(acceleration =) 9.8 allow 10, 9.8387…
m/s2

(iii) gradient; allow slope 1

(iv) height = area under the line; seen explicitly or 3

implied by working
use of ½ x base x height;
evaluation; allow alternative
methods leading to
correct answer for
3 marks

e.g.
height = area under the line;
(height =) 0.5 x 6.1 x 0.62
(height =) 1.9 (m) allow range of
1.88-1.92

b any five from: 5

MP1. weight / downward force (acts on allow ‘gravity pulls
the ball); it down’
MP2. so it accelerates; the velocity/speed
increases
MP3. there is drag (acting upwards); air resistance / air
friction
MP4. drag increases with velocity/speed;
MP5. idea that eventually drag = weight; allow ‘forces are
equal/balanced’
MP6. (hence) resultant force is zero;
MP7. ball falls at a constant
velocity/speed allow ‘reaches
OR ball has zero acceleration; terminal velocity’

Question
Answer Notes Marks
number
25 a A – acceleration; 1

B is incorrect because energy has

magnitude only
C is incorrect because power has
magnitude only
D is incorrect because speed has
magnitude only

b A – kg m/s; 1

B is incorrect because of the squaring of

metres
C is incorrect because this is the units for
mass  acceleration
D is incorrect because this is the units for
mass  velocity2

c (i) C – no resultant force acts on the train; 1

A is incorrect because if this were true the

train would accelerate downwards
B is incorrect because if this were true the
train would accelerate upwards
D is incorrect because there are 2 forces
acting, weight and reaction

(ii) weight = mass  gravitational field accept rearrangements 1

strength; and standard symbols
e.g.
W=mg
reject ‘gravity’ for g

(iii) conversion of grams to kilograms; allow 0.15 seen 3

anywhere in working
substitution;
evaluation; -1 for POT error

e.g.
(mass =) 0.15 (kg)
(weight =) 0.15  10 allow
g = 9.8 (N/kg) or 9.81
(N/kg)
(weight =) 1.5 (N) allow 1.47, 1.4715
POT error e.g. 1500 (N)
scores 2 marks
