Is there a one-time physical damage policy for cracked ipad2 a week after warrenty ends?
I can't comment on consumer law but I am familiar with Apple's warranty agreement in the US. 

AppleCare plus would cover physical damage by extending the normal one year manufacturer's warranty both in time to two years and in scope to actually cover physical damage. 

The normal consumer warranty runs one year from purchase and does not cover accidental damage such as a drop. That being said, you could visit a store (or call AppleCare on the phone) and ask them if it could be covered, but I wouldn't expect coverage due to a drop one week from purchase or one week past one year under the normal manufacturer warranty. Be nice if you ask, they could say yes or they could say no but at least you tried. 

You also could get a quote to repair and decide what makes the most sense for a repair / sell / replace decision on your part.
