2 AP PHYSICS B 004 SCORING GUIDELINES General Notes about 004 AP Physics Scoring Guidelines 1. The solutions contain the most common method(s) of solving the free-response questions, and the allocation for these solutions. Other methods of solution also receive appropriate credit for correct work.. Generally, double penalty for errors is avoided. For example, if an incorrect answer to part (a) is correctly substituted into an otherwise correct solution to part (b), full credit will usually be awarded. One exception to this may be cases when the numerical answer to a later part should be easily recognized as wrong, e.g. a speed faster than the speed of light in vacuum.. Implicit statements of concepts normally receive credit. For example, if use of the equation expressing a particular concept is worth one point, and a student s solution contains the application of that equation to the problem but the student does not write the basic equation, the point is still awarded. 4. The scoring guidelines typically show numerical results using the value 10 m s is of course also acceptable. g = 9.8 m s, but use of 5. Numerical answers that differ from the published answer due to differences in rounding throughout the question typically receive full credit. The exception is usually when rounding makes a difference in obtaining a reasonable answer. For example, suppose a solution requires subtracting two numbers that should have five significant figures and that differ starting with the fourth digit (e.g and 0.78). Rounding to three digits will lose the accuracy required to determine the difference in the numbers, and some credit may be lost. Copyright 004 by College Entrance Examination Board.

For any indication that energy is conserved Setting the kinetic energy at P equal to the potential energy at A: 1 mu = mgy max A u max = gya For correct substitution u max = 9.8 ( ms)( 90 m) For the correct answer u = 4 m s (or 4.4 m s using max g = 10 m s ) A maximum of points could be earned for applying the kinematics equation umax = ua + a Dy without an explicit statement that since energy is conserved, anything falling from A to P will achieve the same speed as something that is dropped.

5 AP PHYSICS B 004 SCORING GUIDELINES Question 1 (continued) Distribution (d) points For any clear description of both a modification that will lower the height of point B and a correct justification For example: Flatten out the track on either side of the loop so the bottom of the loop is on the ground, and thus point B is lower. The work done by friction will reduce the total mechanical energy available at point B, so if the kinetic energy at point B is to remain the same, the potential energy at that point must be reduced. points Only one point was awarded for an answer that showed some understanding but was not totally clear or complete.

(c) points For correct substitution of numerical values into a correct relationship F g 5 ( 41 atm) ( 1 10 N ( m atm) )( m ) = p A = i Note: Since force due to the water might have been interpreted as due to the total pressure instead of the gauge pressure, 41 atm was also accepted for the pressure.
