4.2 Mechanics and Materials - Scalars and Vectors 2 – Mark schemes

Q1. (a) Calculation of energy = 12 × 7.2 × 104 = 8.64 × 105 J

Or time = 12000 / 1.5 = 8000 s ✔

Calculation of other quantity and substitution in power = useful energy / time taken ✔

Power = 110 (108 W) ✔

Or

Time = 8000 s ✔ Allow ecf for current or time

Current = charge / time = 9 A ✔

Power = VI = 108 (W) ✔ 3

(b) Attempt to use Power / velocity ✔ Allow use of 100W for P

73 N ✔ Ignore inclusion of KE in calculation If 108 used then answer is 72 N If 100 used then answer is 67 N

or

work done = F × 12000 ✔

equates to 110 × 8000 so F = 73 N ✔ allow ecf from 3.1

2

(c) Force parallel to slope = 120 × 9.81 × sin 4.5 = 92 N ✔ 1

(d) Total resistive force = ans to (c) + ans to (b) (= 165 N) ✔ Allow ecf for incorrect F

Allow 0.66 / 0.67 if 108 W or 110 W used

2

(e) Increasing the mass Reward discussion of compression of tyres

Reduces the range ✔

increases the friction on the bearings/tyres

Page 2: 4.2 Mechanics and Materials - Scalars and Vectors 2 - MS

OR More energy / power is used accelerating the user to the final speed

OR user and wheelchair have higher KE/ more energy to move ✔

Increasing the speed

Reduces the range ✔

Air resistance increases with speed ✔ Treat as independent parts If not explicit about increasing / decreasing lose the first mark in each part Within each part, second mark is dependent on the first Allow opposite answers for decreasing mass / speed

Q7.

(a) Correct answer with no working gets 2 out of three.

OR substitution in above equation OR = 6.9767 – 5.0 = 2.0 (1.98 m s−1)

Full credit for use of gsin25 = acceleration down slope. This yields answer 3.22 m s−1

Allow 1sf answer (2). 3

(b) (i) (F = 75 × 9.81 ×) sin25 (o ) = 310 ( 311, 310.94) (N)

use of g = 10 not penalised here ‘sin25’ on its own Use of g = 10 yields 317 Allow cos65

2

(ii) W = Fs = 311 × 2.0 = 620 (622 J) ecf (2bi) × 2.0

1

(c) Idea that GPE is ultimately transferred to: internal (energy) / 'heat'/ 'thermal' (energy in the surroundings)

Allow transfer of GPE to KE and then to ‘thermal’ etc Do not allow reference to ‘sound’ on its own

Correct reference to a named resistive force: friction / drag / air resistance Don’t accept implication that a resistive force is a form of energy

All GPE becomes 'heat', etc OR no (overall) increase in KE OR reference to work done against or by a resistive force

Do not allow references to loss of body heat. Allow: ‘(GPE) not converted to KE’

3 [9]

Q8. (a) ∆h = 2.51 – 1.00 = 1.51 (m) / (s =) 1.51 m seen

M1

Page 6: 4.2 Mechanics and Materials - Scalars and Vectors 2 - MS

use of appropriate kinematics formula correctly makes t subject

M1

time = 0.555 (s) / 0.56 (s) (allow 0.55 (s))

A1 3

(b) (i) use of appropriate kinematics equation to find vertical v

C1

v = 5.4 (ms–1) (accept 5.4 to 5.9)

A1 2

(ii) any use of Pythagoras where vh = 18 or use of appropriate trig ratio where vh = 18 and angle is to horizontal

C1

velocity = 18.8 / 18.9 / 19 (ms–1)

A1

angle = 16.8 to 18.1 (°)

A1 3

[8]

Q9. (a) (i) W = 2mg cosφ ∴ m = W/(2g cosφ)✔

The question says show that, so the candidates must write down both steps.

1

(ii) Well drawn straight line of best fit.✔ The line should follow the trend of the points with an even scatter of points on either side of the line.

1

(b) (i) Triangle drawn with smallest side at least 8 cm in length. ✔ Correct readings taken from the line for the triangle ✔ Gradient in the range 0.45 to 0.49 (0.445 to 0.494) quoted to 2 or 3 significant figures ✔

The size of the triangle can be identified from readings taken from the line. The third mark is independent of the other two: error carried forward for incorrect readings (or for a poor line of best fit) which give a gradient out of range is not allowed.

3

(ii) Candidate’s answer for gradient in (b)(i) correctly multiplied by g (expected answer 4.6)✔ N ✔

Page 7: 4.2 Mechanics and Materials - Scalars and Vectors 2 - MS

No s.f. penalty. The second mark is for the unit and can be awarded if the numerical answer is incorrect.

2

(c) δx% = 0.2 and δy% = 0.5✔ δ(x/y)% = δx% + δy% = 0.2 + 0.5 = 0.7 ✔ Use of δ(x/y.)2% = 2 × δ(x/y)(%) ✔

Final answer is (±) 1.4 (%) which automatically gains all three marks Otherwise Accept only 1 s.f. for 1st and/or 2nd marks. The third mark is for the method, not the final answer

3

(d) (i) Systematic errors in measurements are errors which show a pattern or a bias or a trend ✔

Some acceptable alternatives • A systematic error is one which deviates by a fixed

amount from the true value of a measurement • An error which has the same value in all readings • A difference between the true value of a quantity and

the indicated value caused by a fault in the measuring device

• Accept a good example of systematic error. 1

(ii) y would be larger✔ because angle θ would be smaller or because friction would be opposing the increasing weight of m✔

2 [13]

Q10. (a) force is at right angles / horizontal to wall (and so no

component along the wall) ✔ 1

(b) arrow drawn upwards from point of contact with ground ✔ between ladder and vertical which when extended would pass through ‘on ladder’ part of label ✔

Must be vertical or pointing to right for first mark 1 1

(c) (use of sum of clockwise moments = sum of anticlockwise moments) EITHER F × 8.0sin 60 OR 390 × 4.0 cos60 ✔ F = 390 × 4.0 cos60/8.0sin 60= 110 (113) N ✔

Either moment correct gets first mark (does not have to be evaluated)

1 1

Page 8: 4.2 Mechanics and Materials - Scalars and Vectors 2 - MS

(c) ANY 3 (vertical reaction) force from ground increases ✔ direction of arrow of resultant force from ground changes (as ladder is ascended) ✔ friction force / horizontal component of G between ladder and ground would increase ✔ the (reaction) force from the wall increases ✔ weight (of system) / load on ladder increases ✔ as person climbs they exert a force along the ladder ✔

(iii) (m = W/g = ) 6500 / 9.81 ( = 662.6 kg) (a = F / m = 6083 / 662.6) = 9.2 (ms−2) (9.180)

2

(b) (i) = 6500 × 600 (662.6 × 9.81 × 600) = 3 900 000 (J)

(ii) (E= Pt =) 320 000 ×; 55 (= 17 600 k J ) OR P= 1(b)(i) / 55 (7.09 × 104) 3.9 / 17.6 OR 70.9 / 320 OR = 0.22(16) ecf from first line

Some valid working required for 3 marks

conversion to a percentage (= 22 %) Look out for physics error: Power / time (320/55) then use of

inverted efficiency equation yielding correct answer Do not allow percentages >= 100% for third mark

Markers should measure the angle to check that no scaling error has been introduced in the photocopying of the paper.

If the angle is different, mark accordingly. Answers should be consistent with protractor precision stated by the candidate.

Correct computation of % uncertainty, answer quoted to 2 or 1sf ✓ Allow ecf for incorrect angle (penalised in 1st marking point).(e.g. if using a protractor with 1o precision % uncertainty will be 1/31 × 100% = 3.2% or 3% OR for candidates who measured the angle 2 θ % uncertainty = 1/62 × 100 = 1.6% or 2%. With a protractor with precision ± 0.5o the % uncertainties will be half these values) This is because the question specifically stated “as accurately as possible”. It should be clear from the candidate’s percentage uncertainty calculation whether 2θ or θ has been measured.

Extra mark for a candidate who measures the angle 2θ (rather than just the single angle θ) ✓ (This 3rd mark can also be awarded for a candidate who has measured θ on both sides of the ‘vertical line’,and taken the mean value)

(2) Evidence of right angled triangle drawn on to the diagram with dimensions of two sides also shown on the diagram. The minimum dimension shown must be 70mm. ✓ Correct use of cosine rule without right angled triangle is acceptable.

Angle correctly computed using sine cosine or tangent, with value quoted in the range 30.0o to 31.4o ✓

Angle quoted to 3 sf/to 0.1o

2nd mark is still available to a candidate who didn’t achieve the 1st mark.

(iii) Plot a graph of cos θ against 1/m AND Statement that it should give a straight line through origin. ✓

Allow graphs of 1/m against cos θ, against 1/cos θ against m, which would all be straight lines through the origin.

• W (or mg) vertically down and

• tension T upwards along the thread (1) 2
