yeaahhh because no energy is lost! What was that question where it asked what the definition of that term was on the question with the sanky diagram??

Guys, about question 8 (if someone remember), there were two containers and the student was measuring the heat loss... In 8bi it was asking “state one variable that the student plans to control” and i answered thickness of container . And for 8bii, i wrote about insulation,reducing heat loss and fair test. But now i have 0 points from 3 points. And what really is painfull, i lost A* with two points, i appealed but they didnt accept and reduced my points... Can someone pls suggest why they did this?! :frown:

I think that they must have remarked your paper and taken marks off some other questions in your paper.

That was the first thing that i tought... But its really impossible... I saw there was no point to take off... Actually there were 5-6 points to give... I disscussed withe my physics teacher and she said you are right.. :frown:
