Exam-style question
Try this first
A particle has u = 4 m s^-1, a = 2 m s^-2 and t = 5 s. Find v.
- A.14 m s^-1
- B.18
- C.10
- D.28
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The correct answer is 14 m s^-1.
This answer is tied to the objective: R6 Understand and use the F <= mu R model for friction, coefficient of friction, motion of a body on a rough surface, limiting friction and statics..
Explanation
Why this works
Use the explanation to connect the worked answer back to R6 Understand and use the F <= mu R model for friction, coefficient of friction, motion of a body on a rough surface, limiting friction and statics..
Trace the calculation before choosing. The verified method for Friction gives 14 m s^-1; no later explanation is allowed to change that value.
