2006 SCORING GUIDELINES

Question 2
15 points total Distribution
of points
(a) 1 point

For indicating that F vs. x 2 or F vs. x should be graphed, or other equivalent correct 1 point
response (Must clearly specify two variables in order to earn this point.)

(b) 2 points

For a correct column label, including units 1 point


For calculated values that match what is indicated in (a) 1 point
Note: If answer to (a) was incorrect or incomplete, (b) received no credit.
Example using F vs. x 2
x (m) F (N) x2 m2 ! "
0.05 4 0.0025
0.10 17 0.010
0.15 38 0.023
0.20 68 0.040
0.25 106 0.063

(c) 3 points

For appropriate linear axes scales 1 point


For correct axes labels 1 point
For plotting the points 1 point
Note: Axes and scales must match answer in (a). However, if (a) was incorrect or
incomplete, points were awarded in (c) if graph was executed correctly. If (a) was
blank or didn’t include any variables, no credit was awarded for (b) or (c).

Example using data above

Question 2 (continued)
Distribution
of points
(d) 2 points

For indication of a correct relationship between the coefficient A and the slope for the values 1 point
graphed in (c)
For correct units and no more than four significant figures on value of A 1 point
Example using data in the table and two points on the line in the graph
F # Ax 2 , so A is equal to the slope of the F vs. x 2 line.
DF 100 N $ 50 N
A # slope # # # 1.7 % 103 N m 2
Dx 2 0.060 m2 $ 0.030 m 2
Notes:
This part stated to “calculate,” so an answer with correct units and significant figures but
with no work shown earned 1 point.
Since all the data points are on the best-fine line, additional credit was not awarded for a
correctly drawn best-fine line or for use of points on the line instead of data points.

(e) 4 points

Using the definition of work


W # & F dx
For correct substitution of F(x) into the integral for work 1 point
For correct limits on the integral 1 point
For correct evaluation of the integral 1 point

Note: This part stated to “calculate,” so a correct answer with correct units, but with no
work shown, earned 1 point.

(f) 3 points

For an appropriate expression of conservation of energy or the work-energy theorem 1 point


For a correct expression for K and substitution of W from part (e), expressed algebraically or 1 point

For a value of u consistent with the value of W in (e), with correct units 1 point
u # 1.5 m s
Note: This part stated to “calculate,” so an answer consistent with (e) and with correct
units, but with no work shown, earned 1 point.
