direction of the force. The acceleration is directly proportional to the force and
inversely proportional to the mass of the object. (2)

2.1.3 MARKING CRITERIA
Mark for formula Fnet = ma.
Mark for substitution of acceleration of 0,5 in Fnet = ma.
Mark for calculation of the kinetic friction.
Left hand side substitution. , one for each block.
Mark for the answer.
UP THE INCLINE AS POSITIVE:
For 3 kg block:
Fnet = ma
T + FgII + (−fk ) + (−F) = ma
[T + (3)(9.8) sin 3 00 − (0,2)[(3)(9.8) cos 3 00 ] − 40 ]= 3(0.5)
T = 31,89N
For block X:
Fnet = ma
F + (−T) = ma
X((9.8) − 31.89)= X(0.5)
X = 3.43kg (6)

3.2.2
DOWNWARD POSITIVE:
BALL A:
1
Δy = vi Δt + 2 aΔt 2
1
yA = (−10)t + 2 (9.8)t 2
yA = −10t + 4.9t 2
BALL B:
1
yB = (0)(t − 0.5) + 2 (9.8)(t − 0.5)2
8 + yA = yB
8+= −10𝑡 + 4.9𝑡 2 = 4,9(t − 0.5)2
−10t + 4.9t 2 = 4.9t 2 − 4,9t + 1,225 − 8
∴ t = 1.33s
DOWNWARD NEGATIVE:
BALL A:
1
Δy = vi Δt + aΔt 2
2
1
yA = (10)t + 2 (−9.8)t 2
yA = 10t − 4.9t 2
BALL B:
1
yB = (0)(t − 0.5) + (−9.8)(t − 0.5)2
2
8 + yB = yA
8 − 4.9t 2 + 4,9t − 1,225 = 10t − 4.9t 2
∴ t = 1.33s
