8a He carried out practical tests in the laboratory.
He observed the environment
8b any one from: data from further away can be collected/ data from fainter objects or smaller
detailds can be collected/ data is clearer because there is no atmospheric distortion/more
information is collected/more detailed or more accurate information/wider spectrum of
information including photographs or pictures of the planet/other radiation can be detected
8c. any one from: our knowledge is increasing/our knowledge is changing
8d. any one from: new evidence which challenges ideas may becollected/there might be a new
way of thinking about how the facts fit together/new interpretations of evidence/old ideas
do not explain the observation

9Ai. 12.5 miles per second 1mark
Aii. Balanced 1mark
B? the force is greater than the backward force
Any one from: because air resistance or drag is smaller or reduced/because there is a
smaller surface area

13. A1ai. In football and running, she uses more energy. 1mark
A2aii. It dulls a persons senses and reduces their energy level.
Any two from: alcohol increases the reaction time/alcohol reduces co-
ordination/alcohol causes or increases errors of judgement/alcohol reduces
