What examiners said
To gain full credit, candidates did a unit conversion and a calculation. The equation t = s ÷ v was used. The kilometres must be changed to metres before dividing by the speed which makes the calculation 24000/16. An alternative conversion was to change the speed to km / s, making the calculation 24/0.016. Both calculations result in the correct answer, 1500 s. Many candidates scored full credit f...

The response to this question needed a rearrangement of the equation R = V ÷ I. In this case, the resistance and current had to be multiplied by each other to get the voltage. Many candidates did the calculation correctly to get a voltage of 112 V. Many incorrect answers included a division of the resistance by the current to give 10.93 (V).
— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0653/32 Q8(b)(ii) (Cambridge)
A constant speed occurs because forces D and F have the same magnitude. This gives a resultant force of 0 N, and therefore neither acceleration nor deceleration can take place. A few candidates gave the correct answer.
