UNOFFICIAL MARKSCHEME!~AQA GCSE Physics Unit 2 25th Janurary NEW SPEC

Scroll to see replies

If the AQA Spec. says anywhere on it that gravity is a force than that's good and you'll probably get the mark.

having just looked, the only mention os it is :

An object falling through a fluid will initially acceleratedue to the force of gravity. Eventually the resultantforce will be zero and the object will move at itsterminal velocity (steady speed).

which says force of gravity, not sure now? still doubt it, but at the end of the day, it's only 1 mark

I meant the textbook explanations -_- sorry haha I'm sure the likeliness is that they will except both at least in the "extra guidance" section of the markscheme! It's the first question which is 'standard demand' so I would be surprised if it didn't come up as an option!

alright, i'm making a mark scheme : what were the questions from question 1?

Hey everyone, sat the exam today. To be honest, not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I also found it was quite short. I did make some silly mistakes though.

for god sake it was gravity you don't need go argue for an hour about it.

that;s correct

1.7 is right

lol

1st question was something along the lines of what force makes the oil drops to fall on the ground? :/
The motion between A-B Explain-

For the other factor that affects braking distance I put the conditions of the brakes- if they are worn then they will apply less force, is this correct?

debatably that's the one they gave you, other include speed, weather and road surface

Yes it accelerates due to the force of gravity but weight is the actual force that is caused by the force of gravity pulling down on someone's mass-I know its very confusing but weight is the generally accepted one I think.

I put thinking distance. Would that be accepted?

Oh right do you know exactly what the question was?

Awh thats what I put down at first too! But I think it specifically meant another factor affecting braking distance so I wrote surface of the road e.g icy conditions

For the question which asked what factor affects the braking distance, if you wrote "Weather conditions (e.g. snow)" would that get a mark or should I have not included the example?

You might get the mark- it probably depends on what other people have put, from what I've heard whether you'd get the mark because braking force is the power of the brakes and brake condition is different to that.

No.
Thinking distance and breaking distance are 2 totally different things.

I said wet road conditions and I would imagine weather conditions eg.snow should count-I was debating whether you were meant to give an example or not.
