What examiners said
Most candidates accurately recalled the formula for the length of the curve with correct limits. Good candidates fully simplified x 2 + y 2 before substituting into the formula, which caused fewer errors and enabled a clear path to the answer.
— Examiner report, October/November 2023, 9231/21 Q5(a) (Cambridge)
Most candidates included both components of the velocity of sphere B in the calculation of the final Kinetic Energy. Those who did it correctly, often scored full marks.
— Examiner report, October/November 2023, 9231/32 Q4(b) (Cambridge)
To answer this part question the candidates had to use their answer from part (a) to work out the value of v A (or v A2 ) and get the answer by comparing it with the expression given in the text. Most candidates realised this and scored at least the method mark allocated for those steps.
