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.

Answer:
(a)Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =576 ft .
(b)Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.
Explanation:
Initial velocity: Initial velocity is a velocity from which an object starts to move.
u is usually used for notation of initial notation.
Final velocity: Final velocity is a velocity of an object after certain second from starting.
The final velocity is denoted by v.
Acceleration: The difference of final velocity and initial velocity per unit time
The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².
(a)
Given that u= 128 ft\sec and g = 32 ft/sec².
At highest point the velocity of the object is 0 i.e v=0
Since the displacement is opposite to the gravity.
Therefore acceleration( a)= -g = -32 ft/sec².
To find the time this to happen we use the following formula
Here v=0
⇒0=128+(-32) t
⇒32t=128
⇒t = 4 sec
To determine the height we use the following formula
⇒s= 256 ft
Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =(320+256)ft=576 ft .
(b)
At the highest point the velocity of the object is 0.
so u=0. a=g= 32 ft/sec² [ since the direction of gravity and the displacement are same] s= 576 ft
To determine the time to fall we use the following formula
⇒t=6 sec
Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.
