Question Credit Mark Additional guidance


1(a) circuit assembled without assistance 1 Supervisor’s report will give
details
(b)(i) x in range 12-18 cm 1
(b)(ii) R in range 5 to 30k 1 check supervisors results

(c) last column heading includes a correct unit 1

table contains at least 6 sets of readings of x 1


and

table contains at least 4 corresponding 1


readings of R

x values: range of at least 10cm 1

trend of values is correct 1 R increases as x increases

all x values are recorded to the nearest mm 1

calculated values of x2 are correct 1

all R values are recorded with at least 2 sf 1 s.f. in each x2 must be the
same as (or one more than)
significant figures in calculated values of x2 the s.f. in x
are correct

(d)(i) axes are labelled with quantity and unit and 1 positions correct to half a
are not reversed small square

all points from the table are plotted accurately 1 points must occupy at least
with suitable marks six of the vertical 2cm
squares and four horizontal
2cm squares

points must be in the grid


area

appropriate choice of scales 1 do not allow 3:10, 7:10 etc

(ii) suitable straight line drawn through points 1 Allow one point to be ignored
(e) gradient correctly calculated 1 uses points from the line at
least half the line length apart

intercept correctly determined 1 co-ordinates used are


accurate to half a small
square. Ignore units

(f)(i) c = gradient value and 1


d = intercept value

Units of c and d correct 1 e.g.  cm-2 for c and


k for d

(f)(ii) ref to plotted points being close to a straight max 1


line
(or not)

the formula suggested is for a straight line

2(a) l in range 40 to 50cm and 1

l recorded to nearest mm

(b)(i) value for d 1


(b)(ii) (evidence of) repeated measurements of d 1

one detail of procedure 1


e.g. use of marker
e.g. refining position of marker

(b)(iii) uncertainty from half range to full range of 1 e.g. for results 12.4, 13.8,
results in b(i) 12.2 allow uncertainty 0.8 to
1.6
OR
(based on accuracy of their
uncertainty of 2mm to 5mm
measurement)
(b)(iv) correct calculation of percentage uncertainty 1
(c)(i) correct calculation of h 1 unit must match value
(c)(ii) justification based on the s.f in l and d 1
(d) new value of l 1

new value of d 1

correct calculation of h 1

(e) no/small difference between the two 1


calculated values of h, would confirm the
suggestion
reference to uncertainty / tolerance range in 1
h needed for confidence

(f)(i) 3 sources and 2 solutions from: max 5


difficulty in measuring l to centre of ball
measure to top of ball and add half the
diameter
difficult to judge rebound distance
make video of experiment with scale behind
ball
inconsistent bounce

difficult to release marble without


applying a force

(f)(ii) collect data from more values of l max 2 not just repeat unqualified

repeat with a different tube angle

plot a graph of results accept h against l


or h against d
or l against d
Total 40
