Mark Scheme for Cirular motion 3 Conical Pendulum


1 Explanation

There is a resultant (or net or unbalanced) force

􀀹

Plus any 3 of following:-

Direction of motion is changing 􀀹

Velocity is changing 􀀹

Velocity change implies acceleration 􀀹

Force produces acceleration by F = ma (or N2) 􀀹

Force (or acceleration) is towards centre / there is a centripetal

force (or acceleration) / no force (or acceleration) parallel to

motion

􀀹

No work done, so speed is constant 􀀹 Max
