FT Accepted Labels:
Fg / Fw / weight / mg /
w
gravitational force/ force of gravity
T FT / Tension / Fstring
fk Ffriction / Ff / Friction
Ff N FNormal / Normal / FN
Notes:
Mark awarded for label and arrow
Fg Do not penalise for length of arrows since drawing is
not to scale.
Any other additional force(s) Max 3/4
If force(s) do not make contact with body Max 3/4
NO MARK awarded for drawing Fg components . (4)

2.1.4 POSITIVE MARKING from 2.1.3.
8 kg Block
Fnet = ma
T + fk + Fg// = ma
T – 13,579 – (8 x 9,8)sin30o = 0
T = 52,779 N
m2 Block any one subst. of 0
Fnet = ma
Fg – T = ma
9,8m2 – 52,779 = 0
9,8m2 = 52,78
m2 = 5,386 kg OR 5,39 kg
Note: Accept using energy principles for full marks.
Note: if using the systems approach, max. 2 marks.[1 mark for formula
and 1 mark for final answer only] (5)
2.1.5 INCREASE.
From point Y onwards the 8 kg block is moving on a frictionless surface
therefore force acting up the slope is greater / force acting down the slope is
less.
OR
Net force increases since frictional force is absent.
OR
There is now an unbalanced force acting on the object.
OR
Acceleration is no longer zero. (2)
2.2.1 Every body in the universe attracts every other body with a force which is
directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between their centres (2)

between charges and on the outside of the
charges.
No field lines crossing each other. Field
lines must touch the charge, but not go
inside the charge.
Note: If learner draws field pattern of two opposite
charges: 0 ⁄ 3
If only one charge is drawn, max: 1 ⁄ 3 for direction.

8.2.6 Decrease
Total external resistance of the circuit decreases.
current in the circuit increases
Vint (= Ir) increases
From: emf = Vext + Vint
emf remains constant
Therefore V (= Vext) decreases (4)

Intensity only affects number of photons incident onto the metal per second (and
therefore the number of photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface per second)
OR
Intensity does not affect the kinetic energy of photoelectrons.
