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 are many relevant symbols and applicable substitutions.
      Geen punte sal toegeken word waar ŉ 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 ŉ fout gedurende substitusie in ŉ korrekte formule begaan word, sal ŉ
      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 correctly given.
      Geen penalisering indien nulwaardes nie getoon word nie 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 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 ŉ kandidaat met die korrekte formule begin
      en dan die onderwerp van die formule verkeerde verander, sal die punte vir die
      formule en korrekte substitusies toegeken word. Die punt vir die verkeerde
      numeriese antwoord word verbeur.

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 ŉ formule toegeken indien ŉ poging tot ŉ berekening
      aangewend is, d.w.s. substitusies is gedoen of ŉ 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
      word en nie vir waardes wat voor ŉ berekening gelys is nie.

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

1.10   If a final answer to a calculation is correct, full marks will not automatically be
       awarded. Markers will always ensure that the correct/appropriate formula is used
       and that workings, including substitutions, are correct.
       Indien ŉ finale antwoord van ŉ berekening korrek is, sal volpunte nie outomaties
       toegeken word nie. Nasieners sal altyd verseker dat die korrekte/toepaslike formule
       gebruik word en dat bewerkings, insluitende substitusies korrek is.

1.11   Questions where a series of calculations have to be made (e.g. a circuit diagram
       question) do not necessarily always have to follow the same order. FULL MARKS
       will be awarded provided it is a valid solution to the problem. However, any
       calculation that will not bring the candidate closer to the answer than the original
       data, will no count any marks.
       Vrae waar ŉ reeks berekeninge gedoen moet word (bv. ŉ stroombaan-
       diagramvraag) hoef nie noodwendig dieselfde volgorde te hê nie. VOLPUNTE sal
       toegeken word op voorwaarde dat dit ŉ geldige oplossing vir die probleem is. Enige
       berekening wat egter nie die kandidaat nader aan die antwoord as die oorspronklike
       data bring nie, sal geen punte tel nie.

2 UNITS/EENHEDE

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

2.2    Units are only required in the final answer to a calculation.
       Eenhede word slegs in die finale antwoord op ŉ 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 sal slegs vir ŉ antwoord en nie vir ŉ eenheid per se toegeken word nie.
       Kandidate sal 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 are 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, no 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 ŉ vermenigvuldigingspunt en nie met ŉ 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 berekeninge sal in die volgende gevalle geld:

4.1   Subquestion to subquestion: When a certain variable is calculated in one
      subquestion (e.g. 3.1) and needs to be substituted in another (3.2 of 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 subquestions.
      Subvraag na subvraag: Wanneer ŉ sekere veranderlike in een subvraag (bv. 3.1)
      bereken word en dan in ŉ ander vervang moet word (3.2 of 3.3), bv. indien die
      antwoord vir 3.1 verkeerd is en word korrek in 3.2 of 3.3 vervang, word volpunte vir
      die daaropvolgende subvraag toegeken.

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

5 NEGATIVE MARKING/NEGATIEWE NASIEN

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 in 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 could be considered.
ŉ Verkeerde antwoord, indien dit op ŉ konsepsuele fout gebaseer is, kan normaalweg nie
korrek gemotiveer word nie. Indien ŉ 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 ŉ berekening gebaseer is, kan
die motivering vir die verkeerde antwoord in 3.2 oorweeg word.

QUESTION/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 that is directly proportional to the
       force✓and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.✓
       Wanneer ŉ resulterende/netto krag op ŉ voorwerp inwerk, versnel die
       voorwerp in die rigting van die krag teen ŉ versnelling direk eweredig aan die
       krag en omgekeerde eweredig aan die massa van die voorwerp.
       OR/OF
       The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of
       momentum✓✓ of the object (in direction of the force).                   (2 or 0)
       Die netto krag wat op ŉ voorwerp inwerk is gelyk aan die tempo van
       verandering in momentum van die voorwerp (in die rigting van die krag). (2 of 0)        (2)
