    For 4ii), I did the correct method/working but made a calculation error while working the answer. How many marks would I be down?

    Thanks for the answers by the way.

    Cool thanks.

    For 5ii) I, and i'm sure many others, forgot to add in the original height of the particle to its total distance. How many would you guess that'd lose me?

    Cheers

    For 6 part 3 I used 30 degrees for both angles, but my method was correct. Would I get any marks?

    Yes you will only be penalised once for that mistake.

    how did you find the paper compared to previous years? and I worked out velocity of C at 7iii to be 2.83 but mistakenly used 2.81 for momentum how many marks would I loose, I worked out that 1.41 ms-1 is the velocity after collision.

    Would I lose a mark for stating the momentum equation as m(u-v) but then getting the right answer ?

    And for part 2 of 2 , I just done the suvat normally with what they gave. ie u=7 t=0.9 a=-9.8 and so s is 2.331. What would I get out of 4, if anything ?

    Thanks.

    Same as usual for difficulty. Probably just lose 1 accuracy mark.

    Thanks for the answers.

    Just to clarify, for Question 6) Part ii) I worked out H as just 6.4sin40 = 4.11 N ( I forgot to add this to the horizontal tension 6.4N to get 10.5N). How many marks would I lose?

    Can't believe I lost a mark. Sounds arrogant, but I always forget these little things like adding the initial height.

    Either way, thanks for the confirmation of the cumulative unofficial mark scheme that's been brewing in the M1 topic.

    Probably ok for the first question.

    1 mark for that part 2 of 2.
