 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.
Kopiereg voorbehou                                                           Blaai om asseblief

          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.

 6.1 6.1.1 Doppler effect is the change in frequency (or pitch) of the sound detected

           velocities relative to the medium of sound propagation.
           OR
           Doppler effect is the apparent change in frequency of a wavewhen
           there is relative motion between the source and an observer.
           OR
           Doppler Effect is an (apparent) change in observed/detected frequency
           (pitch), (wavelength)  as a result of the relative motion between a
           source and an observer (listener) .
           Die Doppler effek is die verandering in frekwensie (of toonhoogte) van
           die klank waargeneem deur ŉ luisteraar want dit klankbron en
           luisteraar het verskillende snelhede relatief tot die medium van die
           voortplanting van die klank. 

           OF
           Die Doppler effek is ŉ waarskynlike verandering in die waargenome
           frekwensie (toonhoogte)(golflengte)  as gevolg van die relatiewe
           beweging tussen die bron en die luisteraar                                    (2)
     6.1.2 Towards the Listener. (Na die luisteraar)
           The frequency of the sound waves heard by the listener is greater than
           the frequency of the sound waves emitted by the ambulance. 
           The compressions in front of the source are closer together because the
           source is moving towards the previously emitted wavefront when the next
           wavefront is sent resulting in a decrease in wavelength and a sound
           of higher pitch is heard.
           Die frekwensie van die klankgolwe gehoor deur die luisteraar is hoër as
           die frekwensie van die klankgolwe uitgestraal deur die ambulans. 
           Die samepersing aan die voorkant van die bron is nader aanmekaar want
           die bron beweeg na die uitgestraalde golffront wanneer die vorige
           golffront gestuur word en veroorsaak ŉ afname in die golflengte en die
