2 Level 3 (5–6 marks)
Clear diagram and procedure and measurements including
explanation of the use of one light gate and analysis
including determination of Q and R.
There is a well-developed line of reasoning which is clear
and logically structured. The information presented is
relevant and substantiated.
Level 2 (3–4 marks)
Some procedure, some measurements and some analysis.
OR
Limited procedure, limited measurements and detailed
analysis
OR
Detailed procedure, detailed measurements and limited
analysis
There is a line of reasoning presented with some structure.
The information presented is in the most-part relevant and
supported by some evidence.
Level 1 (1–2 marks)
limited procedure and limited measurements and limited
analysis
There is an attempt at a logical structure with a line of
reasoning. The information is in the most part relevant.
0 marks
No response or no response worthy of credit.
B1 x 6 Indicative scientific points may include:
Diagram and procedure
• labelled diagram including light gate positioned at P
• card added to trolley to interrupt light beam
• description of procedure
• repeats experiment for each M
• keep d constant
• method to keep d constant, e.g. mark start position
• method to stop trolley hitting pulley / load hitting floor
e.g. cushion / sand bag
• method to fix M to the trolley
• use a release mechanism
Measurements
• use ruler to measure length of card / object
interrupting light beam
• use of balance to determine M
• method to determine W
• use of ruler to measure d.
Analysis
• v = length of card ÷ time
• plot a graph of 1/v
2 against M (or equivalent graph
• gradient = 1

• R = y-intercept
• Q = 2?? −
