In an experiment to determine the specific heat of a metal, a student transferred a sample of the metal that was heated in boiling water into room-temperature water in an insulated cup. The student recorded the temperature of the water after thermal equilibrium was reached. The data are shown in the table above. Based on the data, what is the calculated heat q absorbed by the water reported with the appropriate number of significant figures?.

the correct answer would be b. amelia, because the particals of gas move really fast (charged particals) and gas also has a lot of room (particals move independently) so the only answer that has both of those is amelia's.

weight of any object is given by

w = m*g

where m is mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

for earth the value of g is 9.8 m/s^2 so

w=117.6 n m=12 g=?

117.6=12g => g=9.8 m/s^2

which is the force of gravity on earth.
