QUESTION 1
1.1
1.1.1 In an isolated/closed system, the total mechanical energy is conserved / remains
constant. (2)
1.1.2 No (1)
QUESTION 3
3.1 If the work done in moving an object between two points depends on the path taken
(then the force applied is non-conservative). (2)
3.2.1 No (1)
3.2.2 Since there is no acceleration, the net force is zero hence net work done (which is
Fnet∆x cosθ) must be zero.
OR
Wnet = ΔK
Since it is moving with constant velocity
ΔK = 0 W net = 0 (2)

QUESTION 6
6.1 The total mechanical energy in an isolated (closed) system remains constant (is
conserved). (2)
6.2.1 W = F∆x cos
5
= (30)( )cosθ
sin 30 o
= (30)(10)cos180°
= (30)(10)(-1)
= - 300 J (3)
6.2.2 POSITIVE MARKING FROM 5.2.1
OPTION 1
Wnc = ΔEP+ ΔEK
Wnc = mg(hf – hi) + ½m( v 2f v i2 )
- 300 = (20)(9,8)(0 - 5) + ½ (20)(vf2 –0)
v = 8,25 m∙s-1
OPTION 2
Wnet = ΔEK
Wg + W f = ½m( v 2f v i2 )
Wg + (-300) = ½(20)(vf2 - 0)
5
[(20)(9,8)sin30° cos0°] + (- 300) = 10vf2
0,5
vf = 8,25 m∙s-1 (5)
7.2 The net/total work done on an object is equal to the change in the object's kinetic
energy. (2)
7.3 OPTION 1
Wnet = ΔEK
2
Wf + mgΔycosθ = ½ m(v f - v i2 )
Wf +(2)(9,8)(0,5)cos180° = ½ (2)(22 – 4,952) Wf = - 10,7 J
OPTION 2
Wnc = ΔEK + ΔU
Wnc = ΔEK + ΔEP
Wf = ½ (2)(2 – 4,952) + (2)(9,8)(0,5-0) = - 10,7 J
