2.2 When a resultant (net) force acts on an object, the object will accelerate in the direction of the force. This
acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
OR
The resultant/net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the object in
the direction of the resultant/net force. (2 or 0)

2.5.1 DECREASES (1)
2.5.2 From: . The angle ( ) increases , so the vertical component of the tensional force
( ) will increase . OR
From: FN + Ty = Fg
increases/ Ty increases
The parcel will not push as hard into the table surface so the normal force will decrease in magnitude. (2)

QUESTION 5
5.1 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 net (resultant) force is equal to the change in the object's kinetic
energy.

5.4.1 REMAINS THE SAME (1)
5.4.2 The gravitational force is conservative (non-contact) force, so the work done by the gravitational force will
not depend on the path taken. The starting and ending points are the same. Therefore the work done by
the gravitational force will remain the same.

R = V/I = 11,7/ 4,5 = 2,6 (7)
8.6 Temperature (1)
8.7 RP increases when S2 is opened
so Rcir increases
so Icir / current strength through ammeter decreases
so Vint (= Ir) decreases (r constant)
so Vext increases (Vext = ε - Vint) (4)
