General Marking Instruction

1. It is very important that all markers should adhere as closely as possible to the marking scheme. In many cases, however,
candidates may have obtained a correct answer by an alternative method not specified in the marking scheme. In
general, a correct answer merits the answer mark allocated to that part, unless a particular method has been specified
in the question. Markers should be patient in marking alternative solutions not specified in the marking scheme.

2. In the marking scheme, answer marks or ‘A’ marks are awarded for a correct numerical answer with a unit. In case
the same unit involved is given incorrectly for more than once in the same question, the ‘A’ marks thereafter can
be awarded even for correct numerical answers without units. If the answer should be in km, then cm and m are
considered to be wrong units.

3. In a question consisting of several parts each depending on the previous parts, marks for correct method or
substitution are awarded to steps or methods correctly deduced from previous answers, even if these answers are
erroneous or for inserting values of appropriate physical quantities into an algebraic expression irrespective of their
order of magnitudes. However, ‘A’ marks for the corresponding answers should NOT be awarded (unless otherwise
specified).

4. For the convenience of markers, the marking scheme is written as detailed as possible. However, it is still likely that
candidates would not present their solution in the same explicit manner, e.g. some steps would either be omitted or
stated implicitly. In such cases, markers should exercise their discretion in marking candidates’ work. In general,
marks for a certain step should be awarded if candidates’ solution indicated that the relevant concept/technique had
been used.

5. In cases where a candidate answers more questions than required, the answers to all questions should be marked. However,
the excess answer(s) receiving the lowest score(s) will be disregarded in the calculation of the final mark.

6. OSM (On-screen marking) marking symbols:

 correct point
 wrong point
IG ignore
 point to highlight

10. (a) 1. Use the protractor to measure or mark a specific angle at which 1A 
the ball is released. Make sure the angle is measurable and
recorded.
2. Hold the ball at the marked angle and release it from rest with the 1A 
string taut, allowing it to swing like a pendulum.
3. Measure the angle at which the ball reaches its highest point and 1A 
record the value Or Observe the angle at which the ball swings
back to the original releasing position.
4. Compare the measurements of the ball’s initial release angle to 1A 
the angle it reaches on the opposite side of the swing. (The angles
equal implies total mechanical energy is conserved,)

(b) (i) (I) The tension forces are vertical, the condition of no 1A
external forces along the colliding / horizontal direction is
still fulfilled, the law can be applied.
Or no net force acts on the system
Or tensions are perpendicular to the direction of collision
/ no work is done on the sphere by the tension

(II) By conservation of total momentum,

vE is 2  0.50 = 1.0 m s–1 1A

which is greater than the total kinetic energy before 1A
collision, thus not possible.

(ii) Not perfectly elastic * 1A *No mark will be awarded if the

as some kinetic energy is lost as sound / thermal energy, the 1A explanation is incorrect.
total kinetic energy is not conserved.

(b) (i) The a.c. flowing in transmitter coil T generates a changing 1A

metal case and thus making wireless charging impossible.

Or

Non-metallic materials such as glass are insulators, and no eddy 1A

currents are produced. As a result energy loss will be minimized 1A
