Answering Technique for Physics paper 3

Section A (16 markah)

Section B (12 marks)
1. Inference (1 mark)
The manipulated variable (MV) affects the Responding variable (RV)
or
The RV depend on MV
2. Hypothesis (1 mark) (Must be correct if wrong you will lost a lot of marks)
MV increase RV increase / decrease
3. Planning one experiment to investigate the hypothesis
i)
Aim (1 mark) : To investigate the relationship between MV and RV
ii)
Variables:
MV
(1 mark)
RV
CV
(1 mark
iii) list of apparatus and materials (1 mark): Write all the apparatus and
material needed (include that you draw in the diagram)
iv) arrangement of apparatus (1 mark): Drawing with label. (Drawing must
be functional) (size of diagram 1/2 page)
v) Procedure:
a. Write method to control MV (Value of MV) (1 mark)
b. Method to measure RV (1 mark)
c. Repeat the experiment at least 4 times, (write 4 different
values / 4 letters) (1 mark)
(No need to write!!!! : The apparatus is set up as shown in the diagram)
vi)

tabulate data : (1 mark)

MV /unit
Value 1
Value 2
Value 3
Value 4
Value 5

RV/ unit

vii) analysis (1 mark) : Sketch a graph RV against MV

RV/unit

MV/unit
