See it on the paper →The cooker is switched off and the water is allowed to cool. Before heating, the mass of the water in the saucepan was 1000 g. The mass of the water in the saucepan is now 600 g. Determine the mass of water that has been lost from the saucepan. mass of water lost from the saucepan = g
See it on the paper →Comprehensive responses • Most candidates correctly identified weight as the force. Limited responses • There were insufficient incorrect responses to identify common errors.

Those who knew the formula for moments could often rearrange it to find the maximum weight that the leaf would support. They usually used gravitational field strength to find the maximum mass of the butterfly. Several candidates thought that the formula for gravitational potential energy should be used in the calculation.
