Criteria
Mark awarded for label and arrow.
Do not penalize for length of arrow since drawing is not to scale
Any other additional force(s): Max.: 1/2
If force(s) do not make contact with dot: Max: ½
(2)
2.3 TAKE CLOCKWISE AS POSITIVE
∆y = vi∆t + ½ a∆t2
0,5 = 0.∆t + ½ a (1,43)2
a = 0,49 m·s-2
Consider mA:
Fnet = ma Any one
T - mAg = mAa
T - (1,9)g = (1,9)(0,49)
T – (1,9)g = 0,931…………. (1)
Consider mB:
Fnet = ma
mBg – T = mBa
(2,1)g - T = (2,1)(0,49)
(2,1)g - T = 1,029…………...(2)
Solving (1) and (2) :
(2,1)g – (1,9)g = 1,96 (simplification)
(0, 2)g = 1,96
g = 9,80 m·s-2 (7)

½m(5,88)2+m(9,8)(10)=0 + m(9,8)h
Maximum height = 10 + 1,764

(0)2 = (5,88)2 + 2(–9,8) y 2
y = 1,764 m = ½ (0+5,88) (0,6)
Maximum height = 10 + 1,764 = 1,764 m
= 11,76 m Maximum height = 10 + 1,764

QUESTION 4
4.1 The total linear momentum in a closed/isolated system remains
constant / is conserved. (2)
NOTE
If any of the underlined key words in the correct context is omitted
deduct 1 mark.
4.2 Right as positive
Σpi = Σpf
(mvi)1 + (mvi)2 = (mvf)1 + (mvf)2
(5500)v + (2000)(-30) = (5500)(6) + (2000)(10)
v = 20,55 m·s-1
Left as positive
Σpi = Σpf
(mvi)1 + (mvi)2 = (mvf)1 + (mvf)2
(5500)v + (2000)(30) = (5500)(-6) + (2000)(-10)
vi = -20,5455 m·s-1
magnitude of velocity = 20,55 m∙s-1 (4)
4.3 Fnet Δt = mvf – mvi
Fnet (0,2) = (2000)(10) – (2000)(-30)
Fnet = 400 000 N
Fnet = 400 000 N to the left
OR
Fnet Δt = mvf – mvi
Fnet (0,2) = (5500)(6) – (5500)(20,5455)
Fnet = -400 001,25 N
Fnet = 400 001,25 N to the left (4)

5.1 The total mechanical energy in an isolated (closed) systemremains
constant (is conserved). (2)
NOTE
If any of the underlined key words in the correct context is omitted

5.2
OPTION 1
Emech at P = Emech at Q
(mgh + ½ mv2)P = (mgh + ½ mv2)Q

v = 5,86 m·s-1
(4)
OPTION 2
Emech at P = Emech at Q
(mgh + ½ mv2)P = (mgh + ½ mv2)Q
4[(9,8)(1,75) + ½ (0)2] = 4[(9,8)(0) + ½ v2]
v = 5,86 m∙s-1 (4)
5.3.1 The net/total work done on an object is equal to the change in the
object’s kinetic energy.
OR
The work done on an object by a resultant/net force is equal to the
change in the object’s kinetic energy. (2)
