Okay so if my k values were 0.0933 and 0.133 then whats the percentage difference?

the only thing is that some people took Kg (which is right) and some others took gramsI have a feeling that there was something in the practical which half the people took in one way and the other half took the other cause the one's who got a positive graph can't think of what went wrong and the one's who got a negative graph can't either. However Im reallyyy curious about people who got positive graphs... can you please put your table of values up?
This is what a negative graph's table of values was like for the candidates:

yeh they didnt ask for the units to be changed to grams.. infact in the question it was given as 150g so why would you change it unneccessarily to make your values into non integers? -_-"the only thing is that some people took Kg (which is right) and some others took grams
I dont think that was it.. cause the kids in my school all attached it to the right (the correct one) but they all had a positive graph and i had a negative graph..Oh... i finally get it... The difference was that some people had attached fixed mass to the longer string on the right with one spring (which was correct) while others had attached fixed mass to the shorter string with the two springs. Thats the error. Finally hit it.
And btw, i have clarified it before with reference to the markscheme. "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT UNIT YOU USE"
Mark scheme allows you to use any units. You can use g or kg, m or cm or mm. DOESN'T MATTER.
and that would make no sense.. any idiot would have noticed if the mass was on the wrong string because they wouldnt have been able to adjust h by moving just one clamp.Oh... i finally get it...

I DIDN'T get all results lyk yours..Only the temp change in the cup is almost same(got it 4):Ogradient 0.0685
y intercept 0.836
k1 = 740, k2 = 550 (i took it in meters)
temp change in cup =3
temp change in bowl =5
Hope this helps u or scares the shit out of u
Like n Reply if ur getting same or something
lol we had ACs blasting in the room so my temp for the cup decreased by 5 degrees and for the bowl decreased by 7 degreesI DIDN'T get all results lyk yours..Only the temp change in the cup is almost same(got it 4):O
What I think the problem was that people took decreasing masses instead of increasing them.... MAYBEOh... i finally get it...

ok..but the gradient and the y-intercept is not same either:Slol we had ACs blasting in the room so my temp for the cup decreased by 5 degrees and for the bowl decreased by 7 degrees
I got a POSITIVE GRADIENT:SI have a feeling that there was something in the practical which half the people took in one way and the other half took the other cause the one's who got a positive graph can't think of what went wrong and the one's who got a negative graph can't either.

yeh mine either.. my y intercept was 0.0006 and my gradient was -0.15ok..but the gradient and the y-intercept is not same either:S
I got a POSITIVE GRADIENT:S
that doesnt change anything.. if they took decreasing masses then their (h.-h)/m values would have increased ... anyway how can they take decreasing masses? start from 350 and go to 150? The fricking inverse proportionality does not change!What I think the problem was that people took decreasing masses instead of increasing them.... MAYBE
Yup that wont cause any difference Then how the hell did people get a positive gradient???? DID U?that doesnt change anything.. if they took decreasing masses then their (h.-h)/m values would have increased ... anyway how can they take decreasing masses? start from 350 and go to 150? The fricking inverse proportionality does not change!
no! i got a negative gradient.. no way in hell could I get a positive gradient.. I donno wtf they did to their values?!Yup that wont cause any difference Then how the hell did people get a positive gradient???? DID U?
