I'm not confident in saying that you might have gotten full marks (dot points are okay to use), someone else can confirm that, but with these explain questions I wouldn't be afraid of being much a tiny bit more detailed.
If we take a look at the assessor report, they do say that students who copy generic answers from their cheatsheet won't get full marks. So you want to do everything you can to ensure that your answers don't look generic.
In the report they do talk a bit about 'high-scoring responses'. They seem to not mind, perhaps even expect, detailed answers. With question 5, it focuses more on vector addition, and they said that a high scoring response 'needed to indicate that the vertical component of R was equal in magnitude to to the weight force'.
Similar thing with this question here, they noted that they liked a bit of discussion on the actual forces (what was the force acting on the blocks, and that the blocks didn't apply a force on each other), saying that "required answers ... extending beyond simple reference to terms such as 'freefall' and 'apparent weightlessness'"
Again, going by last years assessor report, providing detail seems to be the safe way to go in answering a question fully but I can't say with confidence myself if you would have netted the full marks here.
