Mark scheme (1 mark per correct category, 4 marks):

  • Scalars: speed, mass, distance, temperature (1 mark each — max 2 marks for scalars)
  • Vectors: velocity, weight, displacement, force (1 mark each — max 2 marks for vectors) (Award 1 mark for any 2 correct scalars; 1 mark for any 2 correct vectors; further 2 marks for completing all 4 in each group)
