9702 PHYSICS
9702/33
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of
the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners meeting before marking began,
which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers.
Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner
Report for Teachers.
Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.
Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the March 2016 series for most Cambridge IGCSE
and Cambridge International A and AS Level components.

(b) (i) Value for in range 40 to 50, to nearest degree, with unit.
(iii) Value for T in range 1.0 to 2.0 s.
Evidence of repeat readings.
(c) Six sets of values for and time (with correct trend)
scores 4 marks, five sets scores 3 marks etc.

Range:
values must include 35 or less and 55 or more.
[1]
Column headings:
Each column heading must contain a quantity and a unit where appropriate.
The presentation of quantity and unit must conform to accepted scientific
convention
e.g. 1 / T 3 / s3, () or (deg) etc.
[1]
Consistency:
All values of T (or nT ) must be given to the nearest 0.1 s, or all to the nearest
0.01 s.
[1]
Significant figures:
Every value of 1 / T 3 must be given to the same number of significant figures
as (or one greater than) the significant figures in the corresponding raw time.
[1]
Calculation:
Values of 1 / T 3 calculated correctly.
[1]
[1]
Plotting of points:
All observations must be plotted on the grid.
Diameter of plotted points must be half a small square (no blobs).
Plots must be accurate to within half a small square in both x and y
directions.
[1]
Quality:
All points in the table must be plotted (at least 5) for this mark to be
awarded. Scatter of points must be no more than 5 from a straight line
in the y ( ) direction.

(iii) Gradient:
The hypotenuse of the triangle used must be greater than half the length
of the drawn line.
Method of calculation must be correct.
Both read-offs must be accurate to half a small square in both the x and y
directions.
[1]
y-intercept:
[1]
Either
Correct read-off from a point on the line substituted into y = mx + c or an
equivalent expression, with read-off accurate to half a small square in
both x and y directions.
Or
Intercept read directly from the graph, with read-off at x = zero accurate to
half a small square in y direction.
(e) Value of a equal to candidates gradient. Value of b equal to candidates
intercept.
The values must not be fractions.
Unit for a is correct and consistent with value.
Unit for b is correct and consistent with value.
