GENERAL GUIDELINES/ALGEMENE RIGLYNE

1.     CALCULATIONS/BEREKENINGE

       1.1     Marks will be awarded for: correct formula, correct substitution,
               correct answer with unit.
               Punte sal toegeken word vir: korrekte formule, korrekte substitusie,
               korrekte antwoord met eenheid.

       1.2     No marks will be awarded if an incorrect or inappropriate formula is
               used, even though there may be relevant symbols and applicable
               substitutions.
               Geen punte sal toegeken word waar 'n verkeerde of ontoepaslike
               formule gebruik word nie, selfs al is daar relevante simbole en
               relevante substitusies.

       1.3     When an error is made during substitution into a correct formula, a
               mark will be awarded for the correct formula and for the correct
               substitutions, but no further marks will be given.
               Wanneer 'n fout gedurende substitusie in 'n korrekte formule begaan
               word, sal 'n punt vir die korrekte formule en vir korrekte substitusies
               toegeken word, maar geen verdere punte sal toegeken word nie.

       1.4    If no formula is given, but all substitutions are correct, a candidate
              will forfeit one mark.
              Indien geen formule gegee is nie, maar al die substitusies is korrek,
              verloor die kandidaat een punt.

       1.5    No penalisation if zero substitutions are omitted in calculations
              where correct formula/principle is given correctly.
              Geen penalisering indien nulwaardes nie getoon word in
              berekeninge waar die formule/beginsel korrek gegee is nie.

       1.6    Mathematical manipulations and change of subject of appropriate
              formulae carry no marks, but if a candidate starts off with the correct
              formula and then changes the subject of the formula incorrectly, marks
              will be awarded for the formula and the correct substitutions. The mark
              for the incorrect numerical answer is forfeited.
              Wiskundige manipulasies en verandering van die onderwerp van
              toepaslike formules tel geen punte nie, maar indien 'n kandidaat met die
              korrekte formule begin en dan die onderwerp van die formule verkeerd
              verander, sal punte vir die formule en korrekte substitusies toegeken
              word. Die punt vir die verkeerde numeriese antwoord word verbeur.

Grade/Graad 12 Prep. Exam./Voorb. Eksam. Memorandum

       1.7    Marks are only awarded for a formula if a calculation has been
              attempted, i.e. substitutions have been made or a numerical answer
              given.
              Punte word slegs vir 'n formule toegeken indien 'n poging tot 'n
              berekening aangewend is, d.w.s. substitusies is gedoen of 'n
              numeriese antwoord is gegee.

       1.8    Marks can only be allocated for substitutions when values are
              substituted into formulae and not when listed before a calculation starts.
              Punte kan slegs toegeken word vir substitusies wanneer waardes in
              formule ingestel is en nie vir waardes wat voor 'n berekening gelys is
              nie.

       1.9    All calculations, when not specified in the question, must be done to two
              decimal places.
              Alle berekenings, wanneer nie in die vraag gespesifiseer word nie, moet
              tot 'n minimum van twee desimale plekke gedoen word.

2.     UNITS/EENHEDE

       2.1     Candidates will only be penalised once for the repeated use of an
               incorrect unit within a question or sub-question.
               Kandidate sal slegs een keer gepenaliseer word vir die herhaaldelike
               gebruik van 'n verkeerde eenheid in 'n vraag/subvraag.

       2.2     Units are only required in the final answer to a calculation.
               Eenhede word slegs in die finale antwoord op 'n vraag verlang.

       2.3    Marks are only awarded for an answer and not for a unit per se.
              Candidates will therefore forfeit the mark allocated for the answer in
              each of the following situations:
              • Correct answer + wrong unit
              • Wrong answer + correct unit
              • Correct answer + no unit
              Punte word slegs vir 'n antwoord en nie vir 'n eenheid per se toegeken
              nie. Kandidate sal derhalwe die punt vir die antwoord in die volgende
              gevalle verbeur:
              • Korrekte antwoord + verkeerde eenheid
              • Verkeerde antwoord + korrekte eenheid
              • Korrekte antwoord + geen eenheid

       2.4    SI units must be used except in certain cases, e.g. V·m-1 instead of
              N·C-1, and cm·s-1 or km·h-1 instead of m·s-1 where the question warrants
              this.
              SI-eenhede moet gebruik word, behalwe in sekere gevalle, bv. V·m-1 in
              plaas van N·C-1, en cm·s-1 of km·h-1 in plaas van m·s-1 waar die vraag dit
              regverdig

3.     GENERAL/ALGEMEEN

       3.1     If one answer or calculation is required, but two given by the candidate,
               only the first one will be marked, irrespective of which one is correct. If
               two answers are required, only the first two will be marked, etc.
               Indien een antwoord of berekening verlang word, maar twee word deur
               die kandidaat gegee, sal slegs die eerste een nagesien word, ongeag
               watter een korrek is. Indien twee antwoorde verlang word, sal slegs die
               eerste twee nagesien word, ens.

       3.2     For marking purposes, alternative symbols (s, u, t, etc.) will also be
               accepted. Vir nasiendoeleindes sal alternatiewe simbole (s, u, t, ens.)
               ook aanvaar word.

       3.3     Separate compound units with a multiplication dot, not a full stop, for
               example, m·s-1. For marking purposes m.s-1 and m/s will also be
               accepted.
               Skei saamgestelde eenhede met 'n vermenigvuldigpunt en nie met 'n
               punt nie, byvoorbeeld, m·s-1. Vir nasiendoeleindes sal m.s-1 en m/s ook
               aanvaar word.

4.     POSITIVE MARKING/POSITIEWE NASIEN
       Positive marking regarding calculations will be followed in the following cases:
       Positiewe nasien met betrekking tot berekenings sal in die volgende gevalle
       geld:

       4.1     Sub-question to sub-question: When a certain variable is calculated
               in one sub-question (e.g. 3.1) and needs to be substituted in another
               (3.2 or 3.3), e.g. if the answer for 3.1 is incorrect and is substituted
               correctly in 3.2 or 3.3, full marks are to be awarded for the subsequent
               sub-questions.
               Subvraag na subvraag: Wanneer 'n sekere veranderlike in een
               subvraag (bv. 3.1) bereken word en dan in 'n ander vervang moet word
               (3.2 of 3.3), bv. indien die antwoord vir 3.1 verkeerd is en dit word
               korrek in 3.2 of 3.3 vervang, word volpunte vir die daaropvolgende
               subvrae toegeken.

       4.2     A multi-step question in a sub-question: If the candidate has to
               calculate, for example, current in the first step and gets it wrong due to
               a substitution error, the mark for the substitution and the final answer
               will be forfeited.
               'n Vraag met veelvuldige stappe in 'n subvraag: Indien 'n kandidaat
               byvoorbeeld, die stroom verkeerd bereken in 'n eerste stap as gevolg
               van 'n substitusiefout, verloor die kandidaat die punt vir die substitusie
               sowel as die finale antwoord.

Grade/Graad 12 Prep. Exam./Voorb. Eksam. Memorandum

       4.3     Normally an incorrect answer cannot be correctly motivated if based on
               a conceptual mistake. If the candidate is therefore required to motivate
               in QUESTION 3.2 the answer given to QUESTION 3.1, and 3.1 is
               incorrect, no marks can be awarded for QUESTION 3.2. However, if the
               answer for e.g. 3.1 is based on a calculation, the motivation for the
               incorrect answer in 3.2 could be considered.
               'n Verkeerde antwoord, indien dit op 'n konsepsuele fout gebaseer is,
               kan normaalweg nie korrek gemotiveer word nie. Indien 'n kandidaat
               gevra word om in VRAAG 3.2 die antwoord op VRAAG 3.1 te motiveer
               en 3.1 is verkeerd, kan geen punte vir VRAAG 3.2 toegeken word nie.
               Indien die antwoord op bv. 3.1 egter op 'n berekening gebaseer is, kan
               die motivering vir die verkeerde antwoord in 3.2 oorweeg word.

QUESTION 2/VRAAG 2

2.1    When a resultant/net force acts on an object, the object will accelerate in
       the direction of the force at an acceleration directly proportional to the force
       and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
       OR
       The resultant/net force acting on the object is equal (directly proportional)
       to the rate of change of momentum of an object (in the direction of the
       force).     (2 or 0)

       Wanneer 'n resulterende/netto krag op 'n voorwerp inwerk, versnel die
       voorwerp in die rigting van die krag teen 'n versnelling direk eweredig aan
       die krag en omgekeerd eweredig aan die massa van die voorwerp.
       OF
       Die resulterende/netto krag wat op die voorwerp inwerk, is gelyk (direk
       eweredig) aan die tempo van verandering van momentum van die voorwerp
       (in die rigting van die krag). (2 of 0)                                     (2)
