Same question. Different marks.

ChatGPT gets the answer right but scores zero. ExamPal shows the working that earns every mark.

IGCSE Physics|0625/42|May/June 2023
3(a)

A car of mass 1200 kg accelerates from rest to 15 m/s in 10 seconds. Calculate the resultant force acting on the car.

0/2 marks

The resultant force acting on the car is 1800 N. This is because when a car accelerates, the net force can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration. Since the car goes from 0 to 15 m/s in 10 seconds, the acceleration is 1.5 m/s², and multiplying by the mass gives us 1800 Newtons.

Correct answer, but no working shown. CIE awards 0 marks without substitution steps.

Find acceleration

1

a=vut=15010=1.5 m/s2a = \frac{v - u}{t} = \frac{15 - 0}{10} = 1.5 \text{ m/s}^2

Calculate force

1

F=ma=1200×1.5=1800 NF = ma = 1200 \times 1.5 = 1800 \text{ N}

Examiner tip: Always show substitution separately. Writing just "F = 1800 N" without working loses the first mark.
