CAMBRIDGE IGCSE™ PHYSICS: CHAPTER 2 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

Question Answer

3aii Area under the graph stated / shown on graph


Either area of triangle + area of rectangle
(10 × 18 2) + (18 × 50)
or
Area of trapezium

× (50 + 60) × 18
or other method giving
990 m

3b

Line does not have to start at origin.

3c Tangent drawn on the graph at time = 6s


Tangent should pass through (2.5, 100) and (10, 35) with tolerance of 1 small square
Triangle drawn with tangent as hypotenuse
Gradient calculated as change in speed divided by change in time

e.g. or (100 – 35)


value in range -11 to -13 (m/s2)

4ai Increases

4aii Decreases

CAMBRIDGE IGCSE™ PHYSICS: CHAPTER 2 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

Question Answer

4b

4c v = α × Δt
= 0.5 × 60
= 30 (m/s)

5a g

5b Value = 9.8; unit m/s2 (accept ms–2)

5ci/5cii i and ii

Line for A must become horizontal.


Line for L must have smaller starting gradient; become horizonal at a smaller time value and the horizontal
part be lower than A.
Otherwise ignore proportions.
