2.1 Marking criteria/Nasienkriteria
If any of the underlined key words/phrases in the correct context is omitted
deduct 1 mark/Indien enige van die onderstreepte sleutelwoorde/frases in die
korrekte konteks uitgelaat is, trek 1 punt af.
When the net/resultant force acts on an object, the object will accelerate in the
direction of the force and the acceleration is directly proportional to the force
and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
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
OR/OF
The net/resultant force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change
of momentum of the object (in the direction of the net force). (2 or 0)
Die netto/resulterende krag wat op 'n voorwerp inwerk, is gelyk aan die tempo
van verandering van momentum van die voorwerp (in die rigting van die netto
krag). (2)

The change in frequency (or pitch) of the sound detected by a listener, because
the sound source and the listener have different velocities relative to the
medium of sound propagation.
Die verandering in frekwensie (of toonhoogte) van die klank waargeneem deur
'n luisteraar omdat die klankbron en die luisteraar verskillende snelhede relatief
tot die medium waarin die klank voortgeplant word, het.
OR/OF
Is an (apparent) change in (observed/detected) frequency
(pitch) as a result of the relative motion between a sound source and an
observer.
Die (skynbare) verandering in (waargenome) frekwensie (toonhoogte) as
gevolg van relatiewe beweging tussen die klankbron en ‘n luisteraar (2)
6.2.1 Velocity/speed/vs of the ambulance/source
Snelheid van die ambulans/klankbron (1)
6.2.2 Frequency/wavelength of the sound produced by the ambulance siren / fs /
speed of sound/ density/temperature of air/detector/listener is stationary
Frekwensie/golflengte van die klank voortgebring deur die sirene van die
ambulans / fs / spoed van klank / digtheid/temperatuur van lug /
detektor/luisteraar staan stil (1)
6.3 As the velocity of the ambulance increases, the detected frequency
decreases.
Soos die snelheid van die ambulans toeneem, sal die waargenome frekwensie
afneem.
