Q02.4 1 mark

Use the Physics Equations Sheet to answer questions 02.4 and 02.5.

Write down the equation that links acceleration (aa), mass (mm) and resultant force (FF).

Write your answer first. You can study the marking guidance whenever you need it.

Answer this question
Study the marking See what earns credit and compare it with a full-mark answer.

Marking points

  1. 1 Write F=maF=ma, or resultant force = mass × acceleration.

Full-mark answer

F=maF=ma.

Why this answer loses marks

F=maF=\frac{m}{a}

The quantities should be multiplied, not divided.
