A two part question. Students are first given the formula for the time for a ball to come to rest after being dropped on a block. Part a) asks the students to rearrange the formula to make e, the coefficient of restitution, the subject of the formula. Part b) gives students realistic values for variables in the formula and asks them to calculate the coefficient of restitution using the formula derived in part a). 

Question asks students to find the time taken for an object thrown vertically upward from a platform to reach the ground. Set up randomly chooses environment to be on Earth, Mars or the Moon and uses appropriate acceleration due to gravity. The initial velocity of the body and height of the platform above the ground are randomly selected. In this version students are expected to write up their working and submit it seperately to the Numbas question. Students are expcted to recognise that only the positive solution has physical significance.

Using given information to complete the equation $c= A \cos{ \left( \frac{2 \pi}{P} \left( t-H \right) \right) }+V $ that describes the concentration, $c$, of perscribed drug in a patient's drug over time, $t$. Calculating the maximum concentration and the concentration at a specific time. 

Calculating the rate of change of the temperature during a chemical reaction using the chain rule in a function of the form $T=ate^{-t}$, and finding the maximum temperature of the reaction.

Calculating area under curves of the form $ax^2+bx$ and $ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e$ in a contextualised problem.

The relationship between the frequency of an allele A, $x$, at a genetic locus in a diploid population and the fitness of a population with this frequency of allele A, $w$, is described by the function $w=ax^2+x(b-x)+c(b-x)^2$ . The aims are (a) ti simplify the algebraic expression, (b) calculate the fitness of a population with a given allele A frequency, and (c) calculate the allele A frequency when the fitness of the population is given.

The proportion of the sodium carbonate, $p$, which has dissolved by time $t$ seconds is given by the formula $ p=\frac{bt-at^2}{c}$. The aim is to calculate the proportion of sodium carbonate in a solution at a given time and vice versa.

NC NA Non-calculator and Number and Algebra strand. This number assesses students' ability to add and subtract very simple fractions. Students need two add two fractions (possibly mixed numbers) involving quarters and/or halves, then subtract their answer from a whole number. The answer must be entered in simplest form and will always be less than one.

The dimensions of a rectangle are given in m and cm. Compute the area or perimeter.

A mathematical expression part with a pattern restriction to ensure that the student has extracted the highest common factor of two terms.

The answer must be of the form $a(b+cx)$, where $b$ and $c$ are coprime.

The student is asked to give the roots of a quadratic equation. They should be able to enter the numbers in any order, and each correct number should earn a mark.

When there's only one root, the student can only fill in one of the answer fields.

This is implemented with a gap-fill with two number entry gaps. The gaps have a custom marking algorithm to allow an empty answer. The gap-fill considers the student's two answers as a set, and compares with the set of correct answers.

The marking corresponds to this table:

The student is given a quadratic formula and asked to fill in a table of values of $f(x)$ for a given range of $x$.

There is also a plot of the points, which updates when the table is filled in, or the student can move the points to fill in the table.

The table uses the spreadsheet and JSXgraph extensions.

Student is shown a simple (randomised) function and asked to describe its behaviour. This is an information only question. Students need to view the advice to check their answer.
