QUESTION 2
21. 2.1.1 When a resultant/net force acts on an object, the object accelerates in the
direction of the (net) force at an acceleration directly proportional to the force
√ and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. √
Wanneer ’n resultante /netto krag op ’n voorwerp uitgeoefen word, versnel
die voorwerp in die rigting van die (netto) krag met ’n versnelling direk
eweredig aan die grootte van die krag √ en omgekeerd eweredig aan die
massa van die voorwerp. √ (2)

QUESTION 9
9.1 I = V/R ✓ = 4/4 ✓ =1 A ✓ (3)
9.2 Opsie 1:
( I parallel) :
One branch ( 4 + 4 = 8 Ω ) current is 1 A.
The 16 Ω branch current is 1 A/2 = 0,5 A✓ (dubbel resistance means half
the current )
I tot = I2 = 1 + 0,5 ✓ = 1,5 A ✓
Opsie 2:
Vp = 2 x 4 = 8 V therefore V(R1) = 20 - 8 = 12 V
I(R1) = V/R ✓
(3)
= 12/8 ✓
= 1,5 A ✓
9.3 1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2
= 1/(4 +4) + 1/16 ✓
= 3/16 ✓
= 5,33 Ω ✓
or
Rp = R1 x R2 / R1 + R2 ✓
(3)
= 8 x 16 / 8 + 16 ✓
= 5,33 Ω ✓
9.4 emf = I ( R + r) ✓
24 = 1,5 [ (5,33 + 8) + r ] ✓
24 = 19,995 + 1,5 r
r = 2,67 Ω ✓
OR
(3)
V(int) = Ir. ✓
4 = 1,5 x r. ✓
r = 2,67 ohm ✓
9.5 With S open the total resistance increases and the current decreases. ✓

emf = IR + Ir , emf and r is constant thus Ir will decrease. Therefore V1 will
increase ✓
Wanneer S oop is neem die totale weerstand van die stroombaan toe, dus sal
die stroom afneem
Emk = IR + Ir, emk en r bly konstant daarom sal Ir afneem, dus sal V1 (2)
toeneem

11.1.3 Increase in Kinetic Energy/ toename in kinetiese energie✓
Blue light has higher frequency than red light/blou lig het ‘n hoër frekwensie
