Question
- A. A reading that is significantly different from others — definition focus for force
- B. This confuses elastic and plastic deformation and does not answer Required practical: force and extension.
- C. This is too vague because it does not use the force or motion quantity named in the objective.
- D. This reverses the physical cause and effect for Forces and elasticity.
Answer
The correct answer is: A reading that is significantly different from others — definition focus for force
Explanation
The correct option is A reading that is significantly different from others — definition focus for force. A reading that is significantly different from others — definition focus for force is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to identify anomalous readings in force-extension data. This answer belongs to Required practical: force and extension within Forces and elasticity, so it must use precise AQA GCSE Physics forces and motion vocabulary. The other options are wrong because they either confuse elastic and plastic deformation, omit the required force or motion condition, or move away from the exact subtopic being tested.
Common mistake
Anomalous Readings in Force-Extension Data
Students often fail to recognize anomalous readings in force-extension data, mistaking them for valid measurements.
To fix this, students should compare each reading with the trend of the other data points and look for values that deviate significantly from the expected pattern.
