1. (a) Hybrid cars produce less pollution.

[1A]
[1]
(b) Using ultra lightweight material to reduce the mass of the
hybrid car. [1A]
The gasoline engine and the electric motor can work together to
produce a large accelerating force. [1A]
By Newton's Second Law, a = F/m, the acceleration of the car
can be raised. [1A]
[3]
(c) In a hybrid car, the kinetic energy is partly converted to
electrical energy. [1A]
In a standard gasoline car, the kinetic energy is mostly converted
to heat and sound. [1A]
[2]
2. (a) K.E. gain = P.E. loss [1M]
