Modulus of Functions

This document contains 6 questions about modulus functions for a Year 2 core physics and math exam. The questions involve graphing modulus functions, finding maximum and minimum values, roots of equations, and modeling the height of a bouncing ball. Sample problems include sketching and analyzing graphs of functions like f(x)=|2x-3k|, solving equations like f(x)=k, and predicting heights of a ball based on an impact model. The document also provides a mark scheme grading breakdown for each question.
