0.05 m
16(b) Alternative explanation. 4
An explanation that makes reference to the following points:
• Energy released does not change, so same final velocity (1) • Energy released does not change so work done
does not change
• Same increase in velocity over longer time means a
smaller acceleration (1) • Work done = Force x displacement
• Smaller force exerted by legs during jump (1) • As legs are longer, force exerted by legs during
jump is smaller
• So smaller force on ground (1)
• So smaller force on ground
MP3 and MP4 dependent upon MP2
16(c)
• Vertical velocity component increases by factor of 1.2, so Example of calculation 4
time in air increases by a factor of 1.2 (1) 𝑢𝑢 → 1.2𝑢𝑢
• Horizontal component of velocity increases by factor of 𝑎𝑎 → 1.2𝑎𝑎
1.2, 𝑠𝑠 = 𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎
(1)
• Horizontal distance travelled increases by a factor of
1.2×1.2 = 1.44 ∴ 𝑠𝑠 → 1.2𝑢𝑢 × 1.2𝑎𝑎
• So jump length would increase by 44%, not by 100% (1)
𝑠𝑠 → 1.44𝑠𝑠
(1)

OR
• (20% increase in v means that) new jump velocity = 1.2 v (1)

• Use of expressions for time to greatest height and (1)

horizontal distance
• Jump length is proportional to v2 (1)
• New jump length = 1.44 × original jump length, so not (1)
double the length
