Answer:
When the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.
What is specific heat capacity?
Specific heat capacity is the quantity
of heat required to raise a unit mass of
a substance by 1 kelvin.
Specific heat capacity of water and sand
{<em>refer to the above attachment}</em>
Δθ = Q/mc
Thus, for an equal mass of water and sand, when the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is: 8.62m
<h2>Why?</h2>There are involved two types of mechanical energy: kinetic energy and potential energy, in two different moments.
<h2>First moment:</h2>Before the ball is thrown, where the potential energy is 0.
<h2>Second moment: </h2>After the ball is thrown, at its maximum height, the Kinetic Energy turns to 0 (since at maximum height,the speed is equal to 0) and the PE turns to its max value.
Therefore,
Where:
<em>E</em> is the total energy
<em>PE</em> is the potential energy
<em>KE</em> is the kinetic energy
<em>m</em> is the mass of the object
<em>g</em> is the gravitational acceleration
<em>h </em>is the reached height of the object
<em>v</em> is the velocity of the object
Since the total energy is always constant, according to the Law of Conservation of Energy, we can write the following equation:
Remember, at the first moment the PE is equal to 0 since there is not height, and at the second moment, the KE is equal to 0 since the velocity at maximum height is 0.
So,
Hence,
The height at the second moment (maximum height) is 8.62m
