GRADE 12 REVISION 2013

MECHANICS: VERTICAL PROJECTILE MOTION - MEMORANDUM


MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS
1.1 C
2.2 B The footnotes at the bottom of each page indicate from which
3.3 A NSC examination papers the questions were taken. All the options
4.4 D for answers are not given; only the first option in the
memorandum. Teachers must use the footnotes to find the
5.5 C
optional answers, plus other important marking criteria (e.g. the
6.6 C fact that symbols such as u and v for initial and final velocity are
still accepted) in the original memorandums. Almost no one-word
items were asked about this topic in previous papers; hence
STRUCTURED QUESTIONS nothing is included in this document.

Question 28

2.1

2.2

2.3

2.4

Due to the long


contact time (0,9 s) in
relation to the falling
time (2,26 s), the
graph should show the
horizontal section on
the time axis.

2.5 Lesser/smaller 
Collision of softer ball more inelastic/more kinetic energy lost. 
Smaller upward velocity. 
Reaches smaller height.

Question 39

3.1 Statements not correct (or no) 


The bricks will experience the same (gravitational) acceleration / free fall  and thus reach
the ground at the same time. 

3.2.1 Any two 


• Ensure that both bricks are dropped from same height.
• Ensure that both bricks are dropped at the same time OR Ensure that the stopwatch
starts at instant that each brick is released and stopped at the instant that each brick
reaches the ground.
• Repeat the experiment several times and use the average of the results.
• Make sure that vi = 0 for both bricks.
• Make sure that there is no strong wind.
• Use bricks made of the same material / of same density.

3.2.2 External force(s) may be present e.g. friction/air resistance / strong wind blowing. 
