Important Update from the Department of Education regarding Exams:
- Definitions: all definitions should be as per 2021 Examinations.
- Definition of Free Fall and Projectile: as from 2024 gravity and weight will not be accepted as part of the definitions, only gravitational force, i.e.
- ACCEPTED: an object moving under the influence of gravitational force only.
- NOT ACCEPTED: An object moving under the influence of gravity only.
- Definition of Weak Acid/Base: as from 2024 only the complete definition as per exam guidelines will be accepted, i.e.
- ACCEPTED: a weak acid ionizes incompletely in water to form a low concentration of hydronium ions.
- NOT ACCEPTED: a weak acid ionizes incompletely.
- Free-body and Force Diagrams: the use of components to represent a force on a free body or force diagram will not be accepted.
